There are 7 double rooms with 2 shared toilets each for men and women, 1 shower each gender and shared kitchen living room. There is also sauna in a separate building for this accommodation and other cabins. We had the shared kitchen, bathroom and sauna all to ourselves as it was out of season making it a very comfortable stay. Not sure what it would be like with 26 other people! Kitchen is well set up. Breakfast in hotel up the road was excellent.
Our room was tiny. About 8m2 and to fit our small luggage in the room we had to shift a chair into the hallway. Really be better as a single room so you could have more space. They were very slow at the checkin at the shopping centre - took long time to find my booking. The lady was stuffing a pastry in her mouth while talking and serving me which I thought was impolite.

Cute and nice log house, equipped with everything needed, nice communal living room space, clean bathroom, well equipped kitchen and a pretty small bedroom, with fridge/freezer. Also great was the sauna (two saunas, one for males and one for females), which was on and hot every evening, with outdoor space looking into the snowy forest. The breakfast place was around 20 min walk away and the breakfast itself was great, with a variety of breads, pastries, fruit, porridge, salad, juices, coffees,... definitely enough to fill me up.

- Very Nice atmosphere and authentic cozyness - Excellent Value For Money and The breakfast was very good quality! - The location is right next to the ski and hiking trails. 15min walking from the resort center. - Shared bathrooms, toilets, kitchen and the lounge area were in good condition. We loved to cook! - Free daily sauna was very nice after the skiing - We felt like staying in a private log cabin;))
- The only minor negative thing was that the free breakfast was served in the shopping centre cafeteria that was 1 km away, so you need to walk that way every morning. This was not an issue for us though:) We dont mind walking. - The room was nice for two adults, but might Be a bit small for a bigger group with all their Winter Gear.

It was clean. The location was perfect, we saw 4 times the northern lights at the accommodation. There was enough space to park your car.
You can hear the other guests open and close their door.

The location resembles the pictures. The room is a bit tight but its comfortable when coming back from an intense outdoor activity to sleep and recover for the next adventure. The sauna is great, and the shared kitchen is convenient. Although the breakfast is served in a different location, it was really good and abundant.
The heater wasn't on when we first entered the room, and turned out that one of the heaters was damaged. After a couple of calls to the reception, they brought a portable heater and it was fine. Thanks!

Really good breakfast although it's a bit to walk for example with children. Nice welcome by an old man doing snow clearance. He showed the place and sauna, was not in a hurry.
It was really bad with noise insulation. So if you are unlucky with neighbours at least take earplugs with you. It wasn't an issue for me though.

I liked the kitchen and the TV there. It was a good place to chill and have good times with friends. Also the breakfast was exceptional.
It was a bit out of the city which made it a bit harder to get to the K-market and the breakfast place. But it wasn't that big of a deal.
