Wilderness Hotel Juutua

The breakfast and dinner included in the room were sumptuous. Sauna facility (at costs) is definitely a great experience

We stayed here for 3 nights with the Aurora break. Everything was so well organised, everyone we came across from drivers to receptionist to guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. Our entire trip was amazing with plenty of activities but also enough down time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. It was such a peaceful and stunning location within walking distance to a small town as well as forest walks. We were lucky enough with the weather to get a spectacular aurora display but even without it, the trip would have been great. The food was delicious & excellent quality with plenty of choices especially at breakfast. It was mostly adults hotel which was perfect for us. It was a trip I will never forget!

What an amazing environment. I've never experienced anything like it; living in constant darkness is very strange , but you adapt to it very quickly. This establishment is only a 10 min walk to Lake Inari. Here you have the chance to enjoy the Northern lights. You can also take a short walk from the hotel to an alternative viewing space - cross the road opposite the hotel, there you'll find a set of wooden stairs leading to a top of a hill. The Sami Parliament and Museum are also only a short walk from the hotel and well worth a visit. The accommodation is basic, quite small, but clean and adequate. The rooms were warm and the bed was comfy. We had a sauna in our room which I strongly recommend. The food is excellent with a variety of food to choose from during the breakfast and lunch buffets. Food is largely traditional Finnish dishes. Evening meals are served at set times which you are allocated upon arrival. This is a three course meal at night which featured quality product and introduced you to a variety of Finnish flavours. Drinks are charged during dinner, but water is free. There are juice and hot drinks available free of charge at breakfast and lunch. All the staff are very friendly and obliging. The guides are knowledgeable and are happy to answer any questions you may have. We learnt a lot about the country from them. We found Jakob and Sebastien to be particularly excellent. This hotel appears to have no/limited disability awareness. E.g. to access the lobby this can only be done by climbing stairs and the activities do not appear to be adapted. Extra activities can be booked on site should you feel the need to do so, but they do appear to fill up quickly, and activity slots can change. It is worth noting that the Wilderness Juutua Hotel and the Inari Wilderness Hotel are only a few miles apart. The former is very intimate and the latter carters for families. If it is a child free break filled with adventure you are seeking, this hotel is perfect.
