+ 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.

- 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.

We had a couple of issues with our first night and day of activities, however when we addressed this with the hotel manager (Sanna), she went out of her way to ensure the next 24 hours were such a positive experience. The way we were dealt with was so impressive, and left us feeling very happy and positive about Wilderness Hotels and specifically Nangu. A special shout out to Ida, our ski guide, who was so enthusiastic, full of nuggets of interesting information and really made our last day, magical. A lovely place with some excellent activities to help you see and experience the area to the full.

The igloo hut on the lake was just a little too remote and small for us.

This place is simply incredible! The ambiance, the staff, and the food is just amazing - amazing reindeer fillet, Arctic charr and perch - so local, so traditional but contemporary in presentation. If you are a foodie you will love this place! So refreshing not see Berger and chips on the menu! The surroundings are simply beautiful-we has a log cabin with a hot tub and sauna which was amazing! We did - snow shoeing, cross country skiing and the huskie ride - all pre booked with the hotel - we loved all of these - we also took a taxi up to the ski resort of Saariselka - which was 50 minutes each way - return in a local taxi was 250€ - this ski resort whilst small had epic snow and was a great day trip organised by ourselves. Totally recommend this place - the fact that it’s adults only is a massive bonus also.

Nothing!

The hotel is located on the edge of lake Inari and in winter it’s beautiful. We were able to snowmobile, walk and aurora sight see from the frozen lake, as well as ice fish. The restaurant offers fantastic breakfast options from fruit, verbenas, cooked food and waffles. Evening meals are a set main with vegetarian or meat option. Then there’s unlimited buffet started of salads, soups and breads. Being adult only makes the experience very relaxing and enjoyable and near such a natural beauty spot it’s perfect.

Not so much the hotel but their organisation of transfers. €100 each way between Ivalo airport and the hotel which is 30km approx. I don’t mind this cost and understand it may be a bit more than arranging myself with a taxi firm but my issue is that the transfers are not private. If others arrive off the same flight as you they will share a taxi, this means the hotel excessively profit. From airport to hotel there was 4 of us which was comfortable in a 8 seater vehicle but on the return there were three couples and over 8 cases. This meant 6 people were crammed in the back of the min van, 7 cases and hand luggage stacked floor to roof in the boot and a case on the passanger seat. Mean while the hotel would have taken €300 for one organised trip. Felt a little bit of a liberty being taken

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!

Fantastic magical hotel with very friendly staff. Amazing activities. Very beautiful and peaceful.

The food is a buffet then with a choice of a vegetarian or one other main course and is a bit of an acquired taste as it can be overcomplicated. It would be good to have just a few non set menu choices given it is so remote or the ability just to order a sandwich, a pizza or something unless you just come with something you can cook in your room.

We loved our little glass hut with an amazing view of trees and the frozen lake Inari. It was amazing to see the Northern lights through our roof and to use the daytime for cross-country skiing over the lake.

We expected just a little bit more for the money we were spending. We also had to pay additional money for to use the sauna. Nevertheless, it was amazing. But the sauna could use a more personal and relaxing touch ;)

The most extraordinary place. Both the surroundings. and the hotel buildings were beautiful. We stayed in the Aurora hut, which was very small but comfortable. The hotel offers a wide variety of additional paid activities with knowledgeable guides. All staff were great and accommodating. We could book private time in the sauna. Breakfast and dinners were outstanding, delicious food and a huge variety of choices.

Since the Aurora huts do not have bathrooms inside (which was known to us beforehand), we could book private time in the sauna and use the shower there. However, it was a bit of an issue that we had to schedule our showers the day before, and could not take a shower whenever we wanted. Perhaps an additional place with showers and restrooms, closer to the huts, for the guests staying in Aurora huts would work better - we also found it problematic that we had to use the restaurant bathrooms (that the restaurant guests used all the time) to e.g. brush our teeth.

The staff is amazing! Everyone is nice and ready to help you having a good stay! The place near the lake is perfect for northern lights.

Bad smell in the lake huts, like fuel. Make sure you booked the sauna and a shower slot before arriving. The lake sauna evacuation system was clogged.

Everything was like a fairy tale: the location, the amenities, the activities were so well organised, the food was excellent and the staff was really exceptional.

Perhaps additional sofas around the common area to have some rest.
