Pros:

The igloo was ok comes with a private sauna and parking. Service staff were nice. Gave us complimentary champagne to celebrate my birthday.

Cons:

Really in the middle of nowhere and as we did not managed to see Northern lights, we spent 3 nights in the wilderness with nothing to do :( Not the fault of the hotel

Gute Unterkunft in großer Hütte am Fluss.
Pros:

Sehr schön eingerichtete Hütte mit eigener Sauna und Kamin.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war ok, könnte aber etwas abwechslungsreicher sein. Die Ausstattung der Küche war unzureichend. Auf Nachfrage hat man aber alles bekommen.

Mystical and magical time in the woods!
Pros:

This place was amazing. Nestled near a river amidst pine trees, the cottages as well as the hotel gives an amazing opportunity to connect with nature, wellness and healing. The staff are ever smiling and helpful and probably one of the best I have met and experienced in my past 30 years of travel. The aurora cabins were surreal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were excellent. Lactose free milk, gluten free products, zero alcohol beers it was awesome!

Cons:

if you arrive in a taxi with luggage, you might have to push the luggages to the room using a cart :). no wifi or tv in rooms in case people think of this place to do remote work. If you need wifi, you can use the reception/lobby space which is pretty nice.

Pros:

A magical stay in the heart of nature!

The location is perfect for aurora hunting, surrounded by beautiful forests. We even got to see the Northern Lights right from our cabin! In the evening, we were lucky enough to spot a family group of reindeer nearby, which made the experience even more special.

The guided forest hike was very interesting and educational. We learned about different Finnish berries, how to estimate the age of trees, and the importance of maintaining a healthy forest ecosystem. I really admire how Finland preserves and respects its natural environment.

Dinner was amazing, although the portion felt a little small for the price. Our waitress was exceptionally friendly and professional, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Cons:

A few things to consider:

The cabin was a little low in height, so taller guests may need to watch their heads around the sides. We also found the heating difficult to adjust, and the cabin felt a bit stuffy during our stay. However, we only stayed for one night and spent most of our time outdoors, so it wasn’t a major issue for us.

Also, if you have a lot of luggage, be prepared to carry it yourself, as the cabin may be some distance from the drop-off point and luggage assistance isn’t available.

The bed was way too soft for our liking and unfortunately quite uncomfortable to sleep on. A firmer mattress would have made the stay even better!

Overall, a memorable experience for nature lovers and anyone hoping to witness the Northern Lights in a beautiful forest setting!

Tänne on tultava uudestaan!
Pros:

Sijainti oli aivan upea, virtaava joki isona plussana ja mahdollisti saunasta pulahtamisen.
Huoneisto viihtyisä

Ylellinen majoitus rauhallusessa ymoäristössä.
Pros:

Aamiainen oli monipuolinen, mutta välillä tarjottavat ehtivät loppua ennen täydennystä.

Cons:

Äänieristys huoneiden välillä oli heikko, puheääni kuului viereisestä huoneesta.

Pros:

We stayed in the panorama log cabin, the interieur was beautiful, a log cabin out of a catalogue. The location in the middle of the forest next to a small river is so peaceful and the perfect place for watching the northern lights.

Cons:

It was absolutely breathtaking
