Independent, Kuusamo hotels

"Stunning property during the winter. It’s very peaceful, the surrounding trees are beautiful, and the staff are extremely friendly. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay near Ruka. "

"Arrived very early and, after a 2 hour wait, was given early check in (3.5 hours early!). Room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast buffet was plentiful. "

"We stayed in the apartments, it was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We used the spa and pool which we paid extra for at the main reception, which was lovely. There was a small shop within reception and a small bakery which was about a 5 min walk out of the complex, everyone was friendly, "

"Location is perfect"

"We really enjoyed our stay. Our apartment was clean, modern and well equipped. The resort is great for sledding and the on site soft play/activity park was great for the kids. We ate at the restaurant 3 times and the food and service were both good. We thought the price of using the pool was too high 65euros per day for a family of 4. Had it been half of this we would have visited."

"Great place for budget travellers, a bit off the town centre but it is walkable distance! Breakfast & Sauna included! What a bargain."

"Our apartment was clean and kitchen well stocked. Front desk staff (Daniela) was amazing!!! Helped with check in and recommendations for hikes close by. "

"A lovely location by the lake with a lakeside view. Easy reach to the beach and walkable distance to the ski resort which is opened in the summer. The flat has a private sauna. Windows could not be opened which made the place very hot during our stay. Hotel staff was very helpful although the check in desk was actually a 5 min drive away from the apartment. It was difficult to find. The check in instructions could be improved by a bit more description in addition to the check in address. Overall we had a lovely time there."
