Huoneiden taso vaihtelee
Cons:

Varaus ei vastannut kuvia lainkaan. Meille osoitettu huone oli Ahma-rakennuksessa, joka oli kuin suoraan 1990-luvulta. Huone oli pohjakerroksessa ja ilma oli tunkkainen ja haisi homeelle. Rakennuksen aula oli siivoton ja heikossa kunnossa. Yleisvaikutelma oli todella ankea. Onneksi saimme lisämaksusta vaihtaa huoneen.

Sää oli hieno ja vierailumme oli varsin onnistunut.
Pros:

Aamiainen oli erittäin hyvä ja runsas. Lisärakennuksen sijainti aktivieetteihin nähden olis loistava.

Cons:

Emme ymmärtäneet varatessamme, että huoneemme oli hotellin vanhimmassa osassa ja huonetta oli modernisoitu vain osittain. Kokonaisuudessaan olisi ollut mukava tietää, että aamiainen nautittiin noin 100 metrin ulkokävelyn päässä olevassa rakennuksessa joka oli erittäin miellyttävä. Tasoa 5 kun oma huonemme oli vain tasoa 2. Tämä tasoero ei käynyt ilmi varausta tehtäessä. WCstä puuttui esimerkiksi bidet suihku ja laskutilaa toiletti tavaroille.

Great experience! Well-equipped apartment, nice breakfast, easy access to the airport bus stop.
Pros:

Nice breakfast. The apartment was fully equipped with a kitchen and sauna, and it was clean and quiet. It was a good size for a couple. The location was convenient for exploring on foot, and there was a bus stop to the airport right in front, so no need to walk long distances with luggage. The restaurant staff were great, very friendly and welcoming.

We had a blast, all the tours were amazing and the area is stunning
Pros:

On property saunas, everything was close, we got placed in the building right next to the national park entrance! And breakfast was really good

Cons:

We were placed at the front of the building where people occasionally smoked so we would have to run and close the window but other than that it was a really sweet stay

Super, treba vidieť a zažiť. Oplatí sa.
Pros:

Všetko mi chutilo veľmi. Mali bohatý výber čohokoľvek, na čo má človek chuť a z viacerých typov kuchýň. Mal som na izbe aj vlastnú fínsku saunu. Okolie takisto nádhera, veľa možností, čo vidieť, navštíviť a kde sa prejsť. Napriek tomu, že som tam zažil teploty pod nulou do mínus 33 stupňov Celzia, vôbec som si to neuvedomoval. Tiež širé možnosti ochutnávky jedál v miestnych podnikoch a čo sa týka zimných športov, je tam toho tiež neúrekom, od blízkeho lyžiarskeho strediska až po snežné skútre a pod. Hotel má aj svoje fitko, ale v čase mojej návštevy boli niektoré stroje vyradené z prevádzky. A samozrejme polárna žiara, nad mestečkom je vybudovaná pozorovateľňa.

Cons:

Na raňajky som sa premiestňoval ráno do hotela oproti, na jednej strane to je trochu nekomfort, že sa musíte hlavne v tých mínusových teplotách naobliekať a potom sa ísť naraňajkovať, ale na druhej strane som si vždy po raňajkách dal takú raňajšiu rýchlochôdzu okolo samotného mestečka. A v minibare nebolo dlhšiu dobu doplnené, čo bolo uvedené na zozname, dokonca tam bol lístok od predchádzajúcich hostí. Aj som nato upozornil na recepcii, ale vraveli, že nemajú v zásobe. Ale nechýbalo mi to.

Muuten hyvä, mutta respan palvelu oli ala-arvoista.
Pros:

Hyvä sijainti latujen lähellä. Rauhallinen paikka.

Cons:

Tulimme lauantaina, eikä siivousta ollut tapahtunut vielä tiistaina. Otimme yhteyttä vastaanottoon, jossa työntekijä oli töykeä käytöksinen. Hän ei valitellut tapahtunutta, vaan perusteli asiaa, sillä että teillähän on standardhuone ja hotelli on täynnä, joten siivoojat eivät ole ehtineet käydä. Onko tämä peruste, että asiakkaita palvellaan huonosti.

Een fijn verblijf op een mooie locatie!
Pros:

Een uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet en de locatie is geweldig.

Cons:

Onze badkamer was wel aan vernieuwing toe, de toplaag van de badkamerdeur liet los wat scherpe randen veroorzaakte. Mijn zoontje heeft zich eraan gesneden.
