Beautiful place, great common area both inside and outside. We had late check in and it worked great. Cafe is delicious, loved the sauna and the apartment room was comfortable and had outdoor space as well.

Decent and clean apartment but it was different to the one in the photos that we booked. It was clean. Only annoying bit was the bathroom drain was blocked and there was no dish soap. Overall, great location to see the northern lights and cute surroundings with a lake at 100m.

Liked the lakeside location and coziness. Stayed in one of the double bedrooms 3 nights. Everything was good but there are signs letting you know of quiet times due to noise carrying throughout the building very easily. Unfortunately, not everyone adhered to the quiet times and I was woken up multiple times throughout my stay with people moving around, talking, and slamming doors. Something to consider if you’re a light sleeper.

Im Prinzip ist die Unterkunft in Ordnung, mit ein paar kleinen Investitionen (z. B. ein ordentlicher Wasserhahn im Bad, eine Lüftung im Bad, in der Küche ein wenig mehr Sauberkeit) wäre es eine richtig tolle Unterkunft. Versprüht, vielleicht ist das aber auch so gewollt, sehr viel Backpacker-Charme. Trotzdem wir haben uns bei Euch wollgefühlt, Ihr seid gute Gasgeber. Das Essen bei Euch war sehr lecker.

Dinner oli erttäin hyvä, palvelu hyvä. Paikassa on ihan oma henki ja fiilis ++. Sänky oli liian pehmeä ja siitä oli vaikea nousta pois varsinkin seinän puolelta..Huone ei myöskään vastannut netissä ollutta kuvaa eikä siinä ollut ilmanvaihtoa.
