Pros:

Being on lake Inari was great. It was great having the sauna available. We used it twice. Having breakfast and dinner as part of the package was great as well since we were about 50 minutes to town.

Cons:

I didn't realize how far from the town of Inari it was. The walls in the hotel area are very thin and you can hear everything that your neighbor does. Don't get me wrong we had a great stay, just wish we had more in our room like a small fridge. If you didn't leave the bathroom door open it started to get musky and smell of dirt was very strong.

Außergewöhnliches Erlebnis mit Komfort
Pros:

Lage, Komfort, Service, Verpflegung, Aktivitäten, sehr freundliches Personal einfach alles - ein kleines Juwel inmitten der Lappländischen Landschaft direkt am Inari See. Ein unglaubliches Erlebnis! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Winter Wonderland
Pros:

Beautiful location and staff where all very lovely! Special shoutout to Alexi who we had on two of our excursions. Made it super fun and has a wealth of knowledge. Food was not wow as we were the last guests to leave the resort prior to the end of season however was still lovely and did not put a damper on our long weekend. Just stunning with breathtaking views!

Good
Pros:

Rooms as shown in the internet, staff was friendly and breakfast was good.
We stayed in an igloo and to shower we had to walk to an extra building. This was no problem but as we had so shower in the sauna we had to schedule a fixed time to do so. The time is max 45 min and the front desk mixed up our “shower times” various times.

An unforgettably wonderful stay at this magical place
Pros:

+ Small, but cozy with beautiful equipment.
+ Perfect organized activities with very friendly and motivated tour guides. In addition, the beautiful surroundings with their magical forests and the huge lake with its numerous islands are just great for long and adventurous walks.
+ Everything extremely good and the service very nice and kind. A huge applause for the whole kitchen and bar/service team.

Cons:

- Unfortunately only one armchair, no sofa. For singles it might be just perfect - for a couple it's not enough.
- Our room was located nearby the entrance of the building (#305) and you could hear everything and everybody through the wall which was quite annoying.
When we mentioned that and explained to the guy at the reception, that it was enormously loud and that we could not get the rest we wished for, he said that he couldn't do anything, no room change nor a compensation, nothing. To be honest, that was pretty poor for such a luxurious, high-priced hotel.
- Under the bed there had obviously not been vacuumed for a long time. Fortunately we are not allergic to dust and everything else, like the bathroom, which is more important, was clean.
