Vi brukar ge höga betyg men detta var en blandad upplevelse
Pros:

Bra läge vid älven
Trevlig personal, speciellt tysken med australiensiska brytningen = högsta betyg :)
Bra bastu
Bra vegansk middagsrätt

Cons:

Litet rum och ingen utsikt över älven (hade vi fått info hade vi betalat lite extra för det)
Hundar som skällde på natten från närliggande hundgård
Inget veganskt smör eller pålägg till frukost trots att vi två gånger INNAN vi anlände, bad om detta för en av oss. På plats ordnades tomatskivor med olivolja som pålägg :(

Erinomainen ruoka, kohtuuhintainen vaihtoehto myös yhden yön välietapiksi
Pros:

Ravintolan ruoka oli erinomainen ja kohtuuhintainen. Ruokalista toki ymmärrettävistä syistä kesällä suppea. Myös aamiainen oli hyvä. Henkilökunta oli erittäin ystävällistä ja avuliasta. Olimme läpikulkumatkalla ja hotelli sopi siihenkin edullisena vaihtoehtona oikein hyvin.

Cons:

Huone (valitussa huoneluokassa) oli todella pieni ja melko kuuma (ilmastointia ei ollut). Päivällä uskalsimme pitää ikkunaa auki, yöllä hyttysten pelossa ei.

Good location, value for money. Plan your dinner ahead.
Pros:

It was a true Lapland experience. The location was nice, sauna was free to use and available until 10pm, which I really appreciate.
Breakfast was amazing also. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

The room was really small, more like a one person room.
Given the location of the property, there was no restaurant in and around . There is no dinner option, we were told that we can ask for options but later on the staff told that there’s only steak and nothing else.

Very good
Pros:

The staff was really friendly and helpful and the location is great by the river. Very good food for breaktfast, lunch and dinner. They always had a vegetarian option which was great. A lot of activities to choose from that the hotel arrange. Nice sauna that you can use for free (the public one). Nice walking opportunities by the river and a small beach nerby the hotel. Don´t miss out to pet the 99 Huskies in the hotels kennel nerby :)

Cons:

Small rooms and the AC was not turned on most of the time which made it very warm. We asked the staff to turn it on but it was not possible. No mosquito nets on the windows so we couldn´t have the windows open during the night.
