"A personal sauna…OMG! Apartment was lovely and had everything we needed. Bathroom was phenomenal. Check-in was self service, but that was well managed. If you came here in winter you literally walk out the front door to the ski lift. "
"A lovely location by the lake with a lakeside view. Easy reach to the beach and walkable distance to the ski resort which is opened in the summer.
The flat has a private sauna.
Windows could not be opened which made the place very hot during our stay.
Hotel staff was very helpful although the check in desk was actually a 5 min drive away from the apartment. It was difficult to find. The check in instructions could be improved by a bit more description in addition to the check in address....
"Check in was friendly and simple, room was clean. I had an early bus and left before breakfast but they delivered it to my room the night before for no extra charge and it was delicious!"
"We spent a week here with our dog. Ruka is really a dog friendly place. Many places (stores/restaurants) allow dogs.
There was a towel for the dog in the apartment. Everything is near here."
"Overwater Hut cabin is absolutely gorgeous! The decorations is warm and luxurious.
There is not shower, wc seat behind the curtain.
The stuff is very polite and friendly. Because it wasn't hight season, I got an extra room (where I was able to take a shower). "

"Our apartment was clean and kitchen well stocked. Front desk staff (Daniela) was amazing!!! Helped with check in and recommendations for hikes close by. "
"The hotel is amazing, the location is key, ski-in-and-out. Right next to Ruka Ski Resort Gondola. The room assigned to me was clean, very charming and cozy. The bed was super comfortable, nice winter blankets, and soft pillows. Breakfast was included and it is a massive buffet with healthy options. I loved the food and the service. There are restaurants, shopping stores, and tour agencies all within walking distance. Also the bus stop to the airport is a 4 minute walk. I would come back to this hotel and location big time. Finland is a dream!!"

"So it was a walk down 79 steps to the village, so in ski boots that is challenging but you get used to it.
Hot water did run out after 30 minutes or so on a couple of occassions.
Apartment was superb and had a sauna and towels and bedding and all kitchen implements such has cooker, microwave, dishwasher kettle, washing machine.
Separate toilet to bathroom (teenagers need this).
As good as Ruka Suites but just 50m further away on those steps."
"Lots of skii routes and easy access to the lifts. Great place to skii from January to April. You can also go and see the northern lights in the area since its right on the border or the arctic circle."
"Our stay was exactly what my fiancé and I were hoping for! The room had absolutely everything needed for a ski trip. It had a spectacular view with both a hot tub and sauna. It was spacious, equipped with all the kitchen necessities, and was close to the rentals and gondola. Not too mention all the nearby restaurants and shops. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay."
"Our stay was wonderful. The hotel stay was helpful and kind. The room was comfortable and clean, the in room sauna was wonderful after a day of skiing. "
