“Friendly staff and exactellent considerate service details!”
Very surprise to find anti-insect net outside the windows in our room. So we could keep the window open during the whole stay. Which is very considerate during this extreme hot summer in this year.

“Will recommend and revisit”
Great concept and atmosphere. Decoration and spaces were consistent with the history of the building. Lots of green plants and stone materials. A sense of freedom and peace.

“Very cozy and stress free stay”
Excellent breakfast, really more than you would expect for the cost. Our host was very nice and outgoing and gave us tips for places to go and where to eat. Cozy rooms with plenty of space. We brought our own bed sheets so no extra cost for that. Not too many travellers at the time so no waiting for the showers. It's an old building so floors and beds can be a bit noisy but really didn't bother us too much. In a way very charming place. Location close enough to Koli town centre at least if you come by car. Overall very nice and short one night stay.

“Koli the less touristy way”
Beautiful old school building with large park offering all the charm of the remote Finnish countryside. Very helpful host, also for hiking and canoe activities nearby.

“A great experience”
This place was clean and unique. Worth visiting. You can have your own privacy or you can socialize with other guests. The owner was amazing and really make people feel welcome. She also has a wonderful knowledge about the area and was keen to help us find our way to any activity we wanted, for example where’s the best place to watch sunset or the most calm and peaceful beach to swim.
