Wilderness Hotel Muotka & Igloos

Amazing stay, we loved every minute. Food was so tasty and the staff were very helpful. We packed in as many activities as possible - Frank was great and super knowledgeable about the area.

Answered all expectations. Activities well organized with amazing experiences. I recommend the log cabin with sauna for unforgettable times.

Freundliches Personal, wunderschöne Umgebung, sehr gutes Essen (viel vegetarisch). Keine Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Mit den Öffis schlecht zu erreichen, aber das Hotel bietet einen Transfer von/nach Ivalo zum Flughafen an.

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.

Cadre magnifique, féerique. Localisation idyllique. Nous venons de passer deux nuits en cabine aurora et sommes globalement ravis. Spacieuse pour un couple et bien équipée. Un sauna inclus dans la salle d'eau est parfait pour se détendre après les excursions et activités. Les vitres chauffées permettent une visibilité totale pour apercevoir les aurores boréales de son lit. La demie pension est un bon plan autorisant une liberté d'actions dans la journée. Les repas en mode buffet permettent de satisfaire toutes les attentes. On appreciera particulièrement le personnel de service à table discret, souriant et efficace. Cependant, l'on peut regretter l'absence de transport des bagages à la cabine aurora(qui peut être éloignée !) qui pourrait très bien être réalisé par motoneige.!! Un service à minima eu égard au prix de la nuitée !! Enfin on peut déplorer le coût facturé de 40€ par personne pour la location d'une combinaison avec bottes et gants. Profiter de ce "passage obligé" compte tenu du climat et de l'absence de concurrence n'est pas acceptable et devrait faire l'objet d'un service gracieux comme nous avons pu en bénéficier durant la semaine passée à Saariselka chez Lapland Safaris.!!! À mediter sérieusement sur un plan marketing et comlercial au niveau de la Direction de l'établissement à moins de negliger l'aspect fidelisation.!

Aktivitäten waren 1. Klasse. Habe mehrere Zimmer gebucht, da das Hotel diverse hat.

一人では割高ではあったが、食事も美味しくサウナもついており、立地も素敵だった。 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。

Das Hotel besticht durch seine sehr gute Lage, angenehm ruhig und trotzdem leicht zu erreichen. Ein Leihwagen ist zu empfehlen, da in der Umgebung viele lohnenswerte Ziele vorhanden sind. Die Zimmer mit Sauna sind perfekt für einen erholsamen Urlaub in einzigartiger Umgebung. Grosses Angebot an Aktivitäten, super. Frühstück und Abendessen lassen keine Wünsche offen, sehr gute Auswahl an Speisen.

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.

Die Aktivitäten vom Hotel waren 1. Klasse! Einmalige erlebnisse erlebt.

Urgemütliche Winterstimmung im Haupthaus. Sauna-Suiten waren verhältnismäßig einfach ausgestattet aber sauber und geräumig. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und sowohl der Check-in als auch Vanesa zum Frühstück waren sehr gastfreundlich.

Sehr freundliches Personal und sehr sauber

Amazing hotel in the real wilderness. Out of city and just what we came for. The food and service was better than we expected and the rooms were clean

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.

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!

Una meraviglia, veniva voglia di stare nelle casette e vivere lì intorno; cibo ottimo a buffet, l unica pecca è che non c era il wifi nelle camere e nemmeno una televisione. Però dettagli. Le escursione fatte fuori perché non c era più posto

Struttura abbastanza grande con molte unità abitative. Noi eravamo nel blocco centrale ma la sensazione era quella di stare in un motel americano…lungo corridoio con le porte delle stanze ai due lati. Camera carina ma bagno un po’ datato. Doccia con la tendina che si appiccica ovunque.

The resort is nice, the rooms in the hotel part are average

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

We stayed at the glass igloos which were very good. Could see the aurora from our bed every night. !!

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 !

Lieu féerique bien intégré dans son environnement naturel. En aurora cabin on est surpris par la verrière donnant sur le ciel, le confort, le sauna et l'espace !

Urgemütliche Winterstimmung im Haupthaus. Sauna-Suiten waren verhältnismäßig einfach ausgestattet aber sauber und geräumig. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und sowohl der Check-in als auch Vanesa zum Frühstück waren sehr gastfreundlich.

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. En oplevelse og passede perfekt ind som stop på vores tur til Nordkap.

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!

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.

Tres appréciable : la beauté du site, la foret, la lumiere unique, les aurores boréales La sympathie des serveurs au repas, la qualité du chalet loué, les activités proposées moins appréciable : Paersonne à l'accueil très desagréable, on arrive et on demande ce qu'on peut faire ici en 1 semaine, on me demande si j'ai lu la brochure, oui, on me fait un devis sur la base de ce que j'ai lu, 2500€ et on m'envois à la caisse ... zéro rêve, approche comptable. Je demande qu'elles sont les activités qu'on peut faire non payantes , chemins de randonnées, autres ... on me donne 1 chemin en tout et pour tout, ... un peu juste pour 9 jours sur place ... On se débroulera pour en trouver plusieurs autrees tout seul. Accueil à l'arrivée : j'arrive en navette hotel vers 23h, je passe à l'accueil, normal, on me donne un plan pour rejoindre mon chalet : On se retrouve à 3 avec 3 sacs et 3 grosses valises à marcher dans la neige, pas de lumière, on se trompe de chemin, on trouve enfin le chalet, mince on est derriere , on escalade une congere de de 1 m avec nos valises, en tenue de voyageur pas encore équipé ... à 600€ la nuit , pas cool !

Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig, Ferienhütte war wunderschön, Pesonal sehr freundlich , besonders Rezeption beim einchecken, Dankeschön

We had an absolutely amazing stay in one of the Aurora cabins. The hotel, food and surroundings are amazing, but what makes this place extra special is the friendly staff. We felt welcome from the moment we stepped out of the car :D

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. If you want an escape from daily life this is perfect for you.

Freundliches Personal, wunderschöne Umgebung, sehr gutes Essen (viel vegetarisch). Keine Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Mit den Öffis schlecht zu erreichen, aber das Hotel bietet einen Transfer von/nach Ivalo zum Flughafen an.

Beautiful trails around the hotel that are easy to navigate. We stayed in an aurora cabin and were lucky enough to get engaged under the northern lights in early September!

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.

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

一人では割高ではあったが、食事も美味しくサウナもついており、立地も素敵だった。 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。

Das Hotel besticht durch seine sehr gute Lage, angenehm ruhig und trotzdem leicht zu erreichen. Ein Leihwagen ist zu empfehlen, da in der Umgebung viele lohnenswerte Ziele vorhanden sind. Die Zimmer mit Sauna sind perfekt für einen erholsamen Urlaub in einzigartiger Umgebung. Grosses Angebot an Aktivitäten, super. Frühstück und Abendessen lassen keine Wünsche offen, sehr gute Auswahl an Speisen.

Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Schöne Lage, alles sehr schön!

Sehr stilvoll eingerichtet und ein traumhaftes Bett. Ich habe richtig gut geschlafen. Die Lage mitten im Wald macht den Ort zu etwas ganz besonderem. Danke dafür.

직원들이 친절하고 음식이 맛있습니다. 분위기가 매우 좋습니다

We had such an amazing stay here. They were so nice and friendly and the resort was great. Food was terrific. The hut was awesome and the northern lights didn’t disappoint. Will be back!!!!

We stayed for 5 nights and same breakfast menu was served for all the days. There should be some variations. At the time of checkout, water bottles should be given as complimentary.

Excellente expérience dans la cabine Aurora ! Tout est parfait ! Buffet petit dej et dîner au top, le personnel également. Vraiment 11/10 !!!

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.
