“Winter Wonderland”
Beautiful location and staff where all very lovely! Special shoutout to Alexi who we had on two of our excursions. Made it super fun and has a wealth of knowledge. Food was not wow as we were the last guests to leave the resort prior to the end of season however was still lovely and did not put a damper on our long weekend. Just stunning with breathtaking views!

Rooms as shown in the internet, staff was friendly and breakfast was good. We stayed in an igloo and to shower we had to walk to an extra building. This was no problem but as we had so shower in the sauna we had to schedule a fixed time to do so. The time is max 45 min and the front desk mixed up our “shower times” various times.

“An unforgettably wonderful stay at this magical place”
+ Small, but cozy with beautiful equipment. + Perfect organized activities with very friendly and motivated tour guides. In addition, the beautiful surroundings with their magical forests and the huge lake with its numerous islands are just great for long and adventurous walks. + Everything extremely good and the service very nice and kind. A huge applause for the whole kitchen and bar/service team.

“Excellent customer service and a very peaceful place to stay which seems to attract lovely guests”
We had a couple of issues with our first night and day of activities, however when we addressed this with the hotel manager (Sanna), she went out of her way to ensure the next 24 hours were such a positive experience. The way we were dealt with was so impressive, and left us feeling very happy and positive about Wilderness Hotels and specifically Nangu. A special shout out to Ida, our ski guide, who was so enthusiastic, full of nuggets of interesting information and really made our last day, magical. A lovely place with some excellent activities to help you see and experience the area to the full.

“Simply off the scale INCREDIBLE!”
This place is simply incredible! The ambiance, the staff, and the food is just amazing - amazing reindeer fillet, Arctic charr and perch - so local, so traditional but contemporary in presentation. If you are a foodie you will love this place! So refreshing not see Berger and chips on the menu! The surroundings are simply beautiful-we has a log cabin with a hot tub and sauna which was amazing! We did - snow shoeing, cross country skiing and the huskie ride - all pre booked with the hotel - we loved all of these - we also took a taxi up to the ski resort of Saariselka - which was 50 minutes each way - return in a local taxi was 250€ - this ski resort whilst small had epic snow and was a great day trip organised by ourselves. Totally recommend this place - the fact that it’s adults only is a massive bonus also.

“Wonderful location for a winter getaway”
The hotel is located on the edge of lake Inari and in winter it’s beautiful. We were able to snowmobile, walk and aurora sight see from the frozen lake, as well as ice fish. The restaurant offers fantastic breakfast options from fruit, verbenas, cooked food and waffles. Evening meals are a set main with vegetarian or meat option. Then there’s unlimited buffet started of salads, soups and breads. Being adult only makes the experience very relaxing and enjoyable and near such a natural beauty spot it’s perfect.

“never again in a wilderness lodge. Many better alternatives.”
The breakfast and dinner( included in the price) was of very poor quality. The remoteness of the place is not a factor because there are several big ,very well stocked ,supermarkets in close proximatety. They saved money on the food and the quality was inferior.They didn't have a chef , or a cook.:Only someone that heats up deep freeze food . The coffee was bad quality. If you wanted better coffee you had to pay extra !!! This place is about making money. not interested . Much better alternatives in the area.
