4 person cabin was warm, clean and very cozy ❤️
Customer service was very friendly!
The shared showers were not very inviting, which was the only minus at the place, but the sauna facilities were very nice and löylyt were perfect! Warmly recommend renting the wood burning sauna after walking at the paths in the National park, UKK🥰
Viihtyisä ja tunnelmallinen mökki, mukava palvelu.

Odadaki ısıtıcı çalışmıyor desek yeriydi, hava -30 dereceydi ve çok üşüdük. Şömine gibi bir şey vardı ancak yakmaya çalıştığımızda da yangın alarmı ötmeye başladı ve kimse gelmedi bile. Sonrasında alarmı kapattık, o gece başka bir otel baktık ve 1 gece konaklamamız daha olmasına rağmen sabaha karşı tesisten ayrıldık.
Apartamento totalmente equipado, de diseño y en un entorno idílico. Había -25 grados pero dentro del apartamento la temperatura era ideal. Lo recomendaría sin duda
Die Hütten sind schon älter und sehr rustikal, sogar mit Kamin und bereitliegendem Holz. Die Betten sind groß aber die Matratzen viel zu dünn. Habe kaum geschlafen. Die kleinen Hocker passen zwar optisch zum Stil, zum längeren Sitzen sind sie nicht geeignet.
Die Sanitäranlagen sind renovierungsbedürftig.
Netzes Restaurant mit gutem Essen. Nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit 7 km entfernt.

Pas mal
Un endroit qui rappelle les villages de chercheurs d'or.
Des jolis petits chalets, salle de bain commune avec toilettes proches des logis.
Par contre on a l'impression de dormir sur des planches de bois.
J'avais demandé par mail avant le départ si il y avait un sèche cheveux, on m'a répondu à l'accueil. Hors il n'y en avait pas.... Louer le kota pour 1h coute 20 euros et 8 euros pour le bois. Cher !!!!! Mais à faire
Nous avons été choqué par l'organsime qui était sur place avec des traineaux à chiens. Nous n'avons pas participé à cela mais la dame a attrapé 2 chiens par le cou et trainés jusqu'à les mettre dans de minuscules box pour les enfermer. Les pauvres chiens ne touchaient quasiment plus le sol. Je trouve ça scandaleux. Je dénonce cet acte lamentable.
Vi ankom om aftenen og havde set frem til at bo i hytten - men de havde ikke flere hytter og tilbød os hotelværelse, hvilket slet ikke var det ophold vi ønskede.
Vi endte med at få en mindre hytte en bestilt - hytterne er FANTASTISKE, så hyggelige.
Madrasserne trænger til udskiftning - men stemningen kan man ikke købe sig til.
Komfortabelt og rimelig opphold, godt det finnes slike alternativ til de nyere og dermed overprisede øvrige overnattingsalternativene i finsk Lapland. Det at det var peis i hytta var et pluss!
Mukava, yksinkertainen perus hotellihuone. Uudemmassa rakennuksessa, joten kaikki siistiä ja uutta.

Für den Preis haben wir etwas mehr erwartet, hatten weitaus bessere Unterkünfte in Finnland für weniger Geld. Für eine Übernachtung ging es, aber mehrere Tage möchten wir so nicht verbringen.
Eravamo gli unici due clienti di quella notte, quando siamo arrivati sono stati gentilissimi. Abbiamo fatto una sauna privata al costo solo di 20€. Abbiamo cenato al ristorante e Kaja la signorina tuttofare del resort è stata fantastica. Finito il suo turno e tornata indietro ad avvisarci che era uscita l’aurora boreale.
Consiglio a tutti di soggiornare qui, un posto sperduto della Lapponia che nonostante il freddo ti fa sentire al caldo.
