Aurora cabins were super cute and had our own sauna. The food with half board was delicious and the lodge had great access to cross country ski trails. The only thing I wish they had was robes for the room (as often had to run out of the bathroom and everyone can see into your glass room) and a head board so the pillows didn’t keep falling off the bed! Haha

The location is unbelievable. A real wonderland. I stayed over New Years and there was snow everywhere. Maybe the most beautiful place I’ve been. I took lovely walks every morning. Great food. Nice rooms with good beds and bathrooms. Most of the time the staff at the front desk act like they don’t really care that much. Not all of them but some. The place is expensive and they don’t really try to help keep it affordable. Expect to be over charged for everything. Still, I loved it ! I hope I can go back someday. Really magical.

Great hotel in a slightly remote location—if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s perfect. We absolutely loved our stay, and it was very convenient for all the activities we wanted to do. The guides were excellent, and it’s a fantastic spot for seeing the Northern Lights. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious and well presented.

The only small criticism is that the room lacked a few thoughtful details, such as cotton pads, body lotion, and hair conditioner. Small pampering touches like you often find in nice hotels would make the experience even better. :)

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.

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!

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.

Winter Wonderland - can't be beat!

Probably the best hotel / resort I've ever stayed in. We splurged for the Igloo and saw the Northern lights through the glass ceiling on our second night. Food was outstanding, especially considering it was a buffet, but you'd never know it. Staff were all incredible, super friendly, helpful and just some of the kindest people I've met. Will absolutely be back!

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.

Amazing stay with friendly staff.

We had an amazing stay. The hotel provides cold weather clothing free of charge to use during your stay which is very helpful (boots, gloves, snowsuit, helmet, etc.) There is free WIFI, but only available in the lodge. Our only feedback was that it was very difficult to manage the temp in our cabin and we got very hot. There are no additional bedding items in the room, only a heavy comforter and a small blanket. Overall we had an amazing stay and got to see the Northern Lights twice despite some cloudy days. Thanks to the lovely staff who were so friendly and went out of their way to accommodate any request!

Stayed in the aurora bubble. It’s a tiny space but laying on the bed and looking up at the open sky is quite an experience. Bed is comfortable, room is clean, no wifi and no TV. There’s a small sauna inside the bathroom, always nice to have. Standing shower is powerful; However hot water is limited so for those who take a shower longer than 10 minutes be prepared for an icy bath. Would recommend it just for the experience.

We had a sauna cabin. It was beautiful, nice bathroom and sauna, beautiful private view, nice wood stove, very comfortable bed. Just loved it. The aurora alarms are worth it. We had a brief and short view from our window on our first night, and then the next night was an incredible light show right outside our cabin. The complimentary overalls and snow boots were awesome for getting properly protected from the elements quickly to get out to see the light show. The lodge was beautiful and the staff very helpful and friendly, with a great orientation. Heikke (sp?) was a great snowmobiling guide through the fells.

Beautiful Area - Disorganised Amateur staff

Lapland is beautiful & the hotel is in a perfect position to let you enjoy nature. But unfortunately The staff's disorganisation & rude behaviour really ruined this trip for us. It's a shame because the aurora and log cabin were nice(although the \"panoramic views\" are really just of the other cabins so you don't get much privacy). Food & airport transfer are way overpriced. Not a \"hotel\" in a traditional sense; no phones, TVs, room service or WIFI, if you need anything you have to walk back to the main building. Our arrival at the hotel was very unwelcoming, we were grouped with all the other guests & talked at for an hour when all we wanted to do was head to our rooms after a full day of travel. We were then told our tours hadn't been booked, even though they had taken payment & confirmed via email. To which we were told \"we get so many emails\". (!)
Although not overly friendly (perhaps a cultural difference) & seemingly inexperienced, the staff were for the most part courteous. However after the hotel made an error with our tours (again)one woman at reception spoke to us so rudely I left in tears. We travel frequently & were shocked staff would speak to guests like this(& for a mistake they made).
A week after we returned we also got an unpleasant surprise that the hotel had charged our credit card again for a bill we'd already paid on check-out. After a few emails we were given a refund but obviously had to swallow the international transaction fees ourselves.

Best Resort I've Stayed In

My wife and I travel a lot between work and vacation. This is the best resort we've ever visited. First, the stay are phenomenal people. They are tentative to all your requests and genuinely want to make sure you are having a lovely time. We booked an excursion through the hotel and absolutely loved it. Also, the cabin we stayed in was spectacular. The bed was comfortable, lovely spa, amazing fireplace and spacious. The breakfast was very tasty and we had a lovely time at the bar. I wish I could give this hotel a 10 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend staying here.

away from town lights, concentrated on light viewing. felt excellent viewing light laying on bed inside the glass house, no need to wait outside in the cold. free skiing gear for the whole time staying period, so we did not feel much cold and enjoy the activity and staying very much. it would be even better if it could provide wider range of vegan food.

Amazing stay

Our 4 days stay was amazing. We really enjoy it. We were also lucky and we saw northern lights every day of our stay. The staff is very friendly and they make every thing to go smoothly. The descrition of the cabin is very punctual and correct. Is is not cheap, but worthly every eur. Highly reccomended.

Amazing hotel

The aurora cabin is small cosy, with an amazing view of the sky. The panoramic log cabin is larger and more homely with a lovely fire place. Both have saunas inside. Staff are extremely welcoming.

Ein wunderschönes Resort in der Natur mit tollen Aktivitäten und einem sehr netten Team in allen Bereichen. Das Essen war richtig lecker und absolut Vielseitig. Wir hatten ein Iglo und außer der Sauna war alles schön. Die Kosten für das Resort sind natürlich hoch, aber wir würden jederzeit wieder zurückkommen und hier Lappland genießen.

The only drawback is the hot shower in the aurora cabin, the water is weak and not really hot.

O hotel é excelente, as refeições estavam muito boas, o igloo é bem confortável, tem bastante atividades para serem feitas. O incoveniente para quem sai de rovaniemi de ônibus e desce no ponto do kakslauttanen, o transfer até o hotel para 4 kilometros é de 68 euros só de ida.

しかし、ここに宿泊する場合は車で行くことを薦める。イナリや近隣の街や国立公園まで足を伸ばせる。

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 !

Fantastisk oplevelse at overnatte på Wilderness hotel. Flotte omgivelser og de mest hjælpsomme og søde personale, tog imod os.
Hotellets restaurant serverer lækker mad, og morgenbuffet er virkelig flot og lækker.

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

Das Hotel liegt sehr ruhig mitten in der Natur, tolle Möglichkeiten für Ausflüge die man dort entsprechend vor Ort buchen kann. Das Essen bietet eine enorme Auswahl und eine hohe Qualität. Die Nähe zu Saariselkä ist perfekt und ideal für Ausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung bis nach Inari oder Rovaniemi.
