Good breakfast with an amasing view. The staff in the hotel/restaurant are all brilliant, very friendly and helpful. Nice cosy area in the restaurant where you can have the firewood burning to keep you warm. The hotel is located in the quiet side of the area but easy walk to the main area. It is beside the frozen lake and good spot for catching auroras which we manage to see on two occasions. We requested for an early check inn which we have managed to do so. Reindeer steak is to die for. Me and my partner had the best time staying here and will for sure come back.

None.

Staff was super friendly, especially Laura who gave us recommendations for sights and restaurants and also wine and food in the restaurant. Due to our slightly complicated booming setup, 3 different bookings over a week, we thought we were gonna have to move around, but the blond guy in receptions sorted us out so we had 1 room for the whole time. Food in restaurant was excellent, especially the peppered reindeer steak. The Sauna was fantastic as well, and a proper ice pool to dip in! Crazy good Showers.

Didnt have UNO, no toaster for bread at breakfast. We had 2 twinbeds together rather than a double.

Beautiful location by the lake. Great sauna and winter swimming spot. Friendly staff. Clean. Good breakfast buffet.

Bit far to carry downhill equipment to the lifts. Room was average, slightly outdated and bad pillows.

Lovely cottages on the lakeshore. The room is quite spacious, and the indoor temperature is pleasant. The breakfast is decent, with various options to choose from, including gluten-free and lactose-free. There's also an opportunity to visit the sauna.

The check-in time could be a bit earlier.

Beds were comfortable. Our window was facing the north and the frozen lake and we saw the northern lights from the window without going outside in cold.

When we arrived, the room was quite cold and we had to turn on the electric heater in the room for sometime.

Fantastic location and evening food was great. Seeing the Northern Lights!

The restaurant closed at 10pm and so there was no where to go if in a group except go back to the rooms. we wanted to play games one night but had to wrap the game up early as the restaurant/bar was shutting. The breakfast menu was poor.

decent breakfast but not much option and it gets crazy boring to eat the same thing every day for a week

as above

Stuff very friendly and professional. Food was excellent, sauna and lake gave that extra comfort.

Not bad to say.

Food was excellent and restaurant with fire excellent. sauna and swim good bonus.

bar could be open up to mid nigh when demand is there.

Good location right next to the Talvijärvi lake for relaxing summertime sauna+swimming combo. In the wintertime immediate access to both alpine skiing lifts and cross-country skiing trails. Ample and free parking space. Good location to spot the aurora borealis on a clear night. You can reach the Ruka Village by a short walk from the hotel. Nice electric sauna department and also a wood-burning sauna available separately. Breakfast was good with the typical Finnish choices available (porridge, bread, fruits, cereal, tea, coffee, etc). A burning fireplace gave the breakfast a really beautiful and warm ambiance on an otherwise rainy and gloomy autumn morning. The host of the hotel kindly allowed me to charge my electric hybrid from the wall socket outside the hotel.

The smell of pizza was hanging almost everywhere in the hotel. Probably somehow comes from the hotel kitchen. Even though the smell is sort of nice, it can be annoying in the long run. Luckily at least the insides of my room was without the smell. :)
