Beautiful place to see the auroras. Igloos were clean but could use some design changes when accomodating 2 singles. Two luggage stands would be nice, instead of 1 and hooks to hang coats would have been great. We used our tripods. We noticed some igloos had hooks inside the door but ours didn't. It took us a couple days to figure out how to organize comfortably (two single females traveling together). Staff was very friendly, except for my last day with housekeeping. They made up my room for the next guest while I was at breakfast and when I came back they were still there. She was confrontational about me reporting a missing item and wouldn't leave the room as it was already cleaned but I had paid for the room until 11am. I told her to leave and she was not happy. My missing item had been returned and I was not unhappy with the service but I was unhappy with the confrontation on the day I was leaving. Overall the food was wonderful, the lodge staff were helpful and friendly, the guides were amazing, and the activities were unforgetable.

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting!

Really lovely place to stay, out in the wilds. There are lots of activities arranged by the hotel (at a price!) so you really don't have to go anywhere else. The hotel is beautifully decorated inside with a permanent Christmas theme (maybe not in the summer months?) The kitchen and dining room staff were excellent - so friendly, efficient, cheerful and helpful. My one criticism is that the reception staff did not help us take our luggage to our cabin and gave us poor directions as to how to find it in the snow and the cold and with the sun almost down. We had to drag heavy sledges full of suitcases ourselves and weren't sure exactly where to go. Paying so much per night for our stay, I would have expected our bags to have been taken for us. Also, our cabins were almost the furthest away possible from the main hotel building and, as a slightly older guest with some health issues (I can't walk very quickly and have some breathing issues), I would have preferred to be a bit nearer. I shall know to ask for a cabin nearer to reception next time, though the hotel says they can't guarantee a particular cabin when requests are sent beforehand. On that, the pre-stay help was also very good. The activities coordinators answered my many questions very patiently. My final comment is the activities are expensive compared to other providers in the area, but the guys who lead them are exceptional, particularly Pablo and Sara on the snowmobile reindeer farm trip.

Overall nice stay! Buffet was delicious and probably the best buffet I have ever had. Rooms were very nice, especially if you’re lucky enough to have a sauna in your cabin. $40 credit for VIP membership didn’t do much. It was for public sauna or snow shoe rental only.

Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel au Wilderness Hotel Muotka. L'Aurora Cabin était incroyable, offrant une vue magnifique. Nous avons eu la chance d'observer des aurores boréales directement depuis notre cabine, un souvenir magique ! Le sauna privé fonctionnait parfaitement, un vrai moment de détente après les journées bien remplies. La nourriture était excellente, avec une grande variété de plats, toujours frais et savoureux. Le personnel était d’une grande gentillesse, toujours souriant et disponible pour répondre à nos demandes. Les équipes encadrant les activités étaient très professionnelles, rendant chaque expérience unique et inoubliable. C’est sans aucun doute l’un des meilleurs hôtels que nous avons visités. Nous le recommandons vivement et espérons avoir l’occasion d’y revenir !

The property was nice and the staff was helpful however the language was a barrier can sometimes be a slight barrier but nevertheless the staff was very kind. The location is beautiful and very serene. The food is a real high point-we had a half board and both the breakfast and dinner were wonderful!! Really loved the food The only downside was that We were also told all the amenities were in our room for example cutlery and basics like shower gel however that was not the case for our room. Even the activities that we booked, we had to remind the team. Transportation to this hotel is a bit tricky in the winter, especially if you’re travelling by bus. We also had booked a private transfer to the airport however to our surprise when we got to the cab it was a minivan shared between 8-10 other people. Rest it was a great trip!

Demasiado caro para lo que ofrece

En mí opinión no vale la pena el precio tan elevado por lo que ofrece.Nuestra habitación era una cabaña panorama,la cual tenía unos grandes ventanales justo enfrente de la cama,pero sin ninguna intimidad. Muy básica la cocina si se va con intención de cocinar algo para economizar,(cenar en el restaurante del hotel son 52 euros por persona) ni paño,ni bayeta,ni nada para secar o escurrir la losa que fregas,ni un cucharón con el que servirte algo de sopa.Había chimenea y leña,pero solo pudimos encenderla una de las noches porque solo nos dejaron encendedor para 1 vez.En el baño solo jabón de manos,nada de gel ni champú.Como positivo la cabaña era acogedora,la cama sobre troncos cómoda y original y el desayuno bastante bueno y variado.Otro detalle es que la recepción cierra por la noche aunque te dan un número de emergencia por si tienes que llamar por alguna razón.Tienes que pagar también 10 euros si quieres que te avisen si se ven auroras

Die Unterkunft und das Essen lassen nichts zu wünschen über, dennoch wäre es super vorab zu wissen, dass es in der näheren Umgebung weder ein Supermarkt noch andere Restaurants fußläufig zu erreichen sind. Demnach ist man auf ein Mietwagen oder Taxi angewiesen, weiblich die Preise für Taxifahrten nicht gerade günstig sind. Ansonsten ist das Hotel schön ländlich an einem See gelegen, das Essen ist qualitativ sehr gut! Das Personal war nett und höflich, im Vergleich zu anderen Resorts in Lappland bieten andere jedoch mehr Service für die Gäste . Dennoch kann ich das Hotel weiterempfehlen
