"A personal sauna…OMG! Apartment was lovely and had everything we needed. Bathroom was phenomenal. Check-in was self service, but that was well managed. If you came here in winter you literally walk out the front door to the ski lift. "
"We spent a week here with our dog. Ruka is really a dog friendly place. Many places (stores/restaurants) allow dogs.
There was a towel for the dog in the apartment. Everything is near here."
"We stayed in Glass Villas - view was amazing, everything was really nice. I would have liked a proper double bed, but the two beds that were pushed together were also comfortable. Ventilation made quite a lot of noise, but it also meant that we could adjust the temperature as we liked. I would definitely stay there again."
"Overwater Hut cabin is absolutely gorgeous! The decorations is warm and luxurious.
There is not shower, wc seat behind the curtain.
The stuff is very polite and friendly. Because it wasn't hight season, I got an extra room (where I was able to take a shower). "

"The property is beautiful, and the host was very kind and helpful. We are Americans and were unsure how the sauna worked, and the host got us straightened out and refused a large tip. The lake was perfect for a quick swim in the morning. We had everything we needed, and the location is close to plenty of hiking and disc golf."
"The hotel is amazing, the location is key, ski-in-and-out. Right next to Ruka Ski Resort Gondola. The room assigned to me was clean, very charming and cozy. The bed was super comfortable, nice winter blankets, and soft pillows. Breakfast was included and it is a massive buffet with healthy options. I loved the food and the service. There are restaurants, shopping stores, and tour agencies all within walking distance. Also the bus stop to the airport is a 4 minute walk. I would come back to this hotel and location big time. Finland is a dream!!"
"Check in was friendly and simple, room was clean. I had an early bus and left before breakfast but they delivered it to my room the night before for no extra charge and it was delicious!"
"Our stay was exactly what my fiancé and I were hoping for! The room had absolutely everything needed for a ski trip. It had a spectacular view with both a hot tub and sauna. It was spacious, equipped with all the kitchen necessities, and was close to the rentals and gondola. Not too mention all the nearby restaurants and shops. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay."
"We stayed in the igloos and cooked and ate meals both in the igloo and also dinner in the restaurant.
1. Staff were amazing and lovely
2. Food and wine options for dinner and the cosy restaurant was delightful and enjoyable
3. We also cooked and ate in our igloo and the kitchen provided all the kitchen items we needed and were happy for us to drop things off to be cleaned
4. I found the igloos to be surprisingly spacious with lots of spots to store things
5. Small compostable toilet was fine for evening use and we didn’t mind heading up to the main guesthouse for showers and to use bathrooms
6. The bathrooms are a little dated but clean and functional
7. People mentioned in past reviews about the big step to the deck of the igloo. However you don’t need to do the big step as you can walk around a different paths
Overall we had a totally amazing experience and I could have stayed longer "
"The villa was great and a good fit for our break point during our road trip up to Kittilä. A bit narrow for 8 people but good fun overall!
Thanks Villa Havula."
"The apartment is very beautiful and the view outside feels so magical for someone living in Asia. Did not manage to use the sauna there as we were too cold and tired from our daily activities. The shower perhaps need a blind as friends staying there may not feel private enough when showering (for family maybe ok). Johanna is very friendly and warm. Am so glad to have meet her. Shout out to Johanna and Owner of Haistila, THANK YOU AND WE ENJOY THE STAY "
