    The keys have to be collected and returned in Saariselka Shopping Center, which is about 1.3 km away.

    We got an upgraded room, so we got a different (way better) accommodation.

    Cute and nice log house, equipped with everything needed, nice communal living room space, clean bathroom, well equipped kitchen and a pretty small bedroom, with fridge/freezer. Also great was the sauna (two saunas, one for males and one for females), which was on and hot every evening, with outdoor space looking into the snowy forest. The breakfast place was around 20 min walk away and the breakfast itself was great, with a variety of breads, pastries, fruit, porridge, salad, juices, coffees,... definitely enough to fill me up.

    Homely feeling, nice sauna in other cottage, just next to nordic tracks, peaceful, available sleds in front of the building - very useful to pull children around the village.

    It was really bad with noise insulation. So if you are unlucky with neighbours at least take earplugs with you. It wasn't an issue for me though.

    Really good breakfast although it's a bit to walk for example with children. Nice welcome by an old man doing snow clearance. He showed the place and sauna, was not in a hurry.

    The heater wasn't on when we first entered the room, and turned out that one of the heaters was damaged. After a couple of calls to the reception, they brought a portable heater and it was fine. Thanks!

    The location resembles the pictures. The room is a bit tight but its comfortable when coming back from an intense outdoor activity to sleep and recover for the next adventure. The sauna is great, and the shared kitchen is convenient. Although the breakfast is served in a different location, it was really good and abundant.

    - The only minor negative thing was that the free breakfast was served in the shopping centre cafeteria that was 1 km away, so you need to walk that way every morning. This was not an issue for us though:) We dont mind walking. - The room was nice for two adults, but might Be a bit small for a bigger group with all their Winter Gear.

    - Very Nice atmosphere and authentic cozyness - Excellent Value For Money and The breakfast was very good quality! - The location is right next to the ski and hiking trails. 15min walking from the resort center. - Shared bathrooms, toilets, kitchen and the lounge area were in good condition. We loved to cook! - Free daily sauna was very nice after the skiing - We felt like staying in a private log cabin;))

    The reception was a bit far away, about 15 min walk. Which is not a problem, but with all the luggage it was not very practical to walk from the bus station to the reception and then to the accommodation. Maybe a box near the accommodation would be a good idea so that the guests could pick up the key with the use of a code. It was also a bit cold in our room. Which was not a problem as we were in Lapland and the temperatures are low. However, I felt that the rest of the accommodation was much warmer, so maybe the windows in the room should be checked, as cold air was coming through. And the rooms were quite small.

    The breakfast was very good. And also the location of the log house. Almost in the forest and near the hiking trails. From the center is maybe 10 min by foot, which is great because we did not have a car. We had to walk about 15 minutes to the place where breakfast was served, but that was not a problem for us. The sauna was also great. Kitchen had everything we needed.

    We received only one pair of keys for 4 people. When we asked for a second pair they told us they don't have it as the previous guests accidentally took it with them. We didn't want to hassle about making a new set of keys during our stay. This was a little disappointing but we managed just fine with those we had. Also, one side of the room had broken lamps, but our headlamps worked well enough for our evening readings. One additional comment, the fridge could be located on the other side of the room/the door hinges could be placed on the other side. For easier access inside. Only one shower for the whole building isn't enough. We had to use the sauna showers which are located outside the main house. Also, it was half clogged so the water flow from the shower basin was very slow. More frequent emptying of bins (bathrooms, showers, kitchen) would make the space more pleasant.

    Well equipped kitchen with functional common space, comfortable beds, fridge in the rooms, awesome sauna, the location couldn't be better (50m from groomed cross country skiing tracks). Drying room and washing machine available, that was great especially after the whole day of skiing in the wet snow. Option to go for a decent breakfast at the shopping centre, 10mins walk (the variety of foods varies each day, some days better than others)

    The room was pretty distant from the place of pickup of the key & breakfast. From the reviews I expected ab excellent breakfast, but it was just average. Not bad but also nothing special

    The room was very beautiful and the staff was kind and cheerful.

    It was a bit out of the city which made it a bit harder to get to the K-market and the breakfast place. But it wasn't that big of a deal.

    I liked the kitchen and the TV there. It was a good place to chill and have good times with friends. Also the breakfast was exceptional.

    the womens toiletroom should be closed and renovated immediatly! It is now a big health risk for anybody to go in there. they have installed showers in there and it is done really badly. I used the mens toiletroom where I could breathe.
