Pros +
- All the facilities were impeccably maintained, and the staff’s hospitality was truly outstanding.Breakfast was served in a buffet style, offering a spotless environment and a wide variety of delicious dishes. I especially enjoyed the Finnish specialties such as salmon and blueberry juice.The in-room sauna was another highlight; I was able to enjoy proper löyly, which made the experience exceptionally satisfying.Everything was remarkably clean and thoughtfully prepared.I can genuinely recommend this hotel. The quality of service far exceeds the price, and it is an excellent choice for anyone visiting Inari.
- Superb food. Well informed, creative and polite front desk staff.
- The hotel is by a beautiful river, close to the Siida Museum, and near trails. It has comfortable common areas with close views of the river. The in room sauna was a delight. And the room was spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Stores and cafes were just a short walk away.
Cons -
- The room size is fine for 1 person but maybe a bit too small for 2 people.
- If i have to point out anything at all - it will be the food quantity at dinner - would be nice if the portions are a bit bigger. For example at 43 eur for the raindeer maincouse, I would expect a bigger portion to fill the stomach. Ofcourse taste was delicious- no complaint on that at all.
- Rooms could be little bigger

Excellent hotel! The view was amazing from both room and restaurant. Restaurant Aanaar is top quality restaurant and the breakfast is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend the hotel at any time of year.

Location is great. We saw northern lights from our room. Room is clean, but a little bit small. Breakfast is amazing.
Really nice room, staff is very agreeable and food was good though expensive. Highly recommend.
Wilderness Hotel Juutua is close to the centre of Inari, but still having a ‘nature’ feeling, located nicely along a river, just next to the Sami parliament and close to the Siida museum. The restaurant is amazing, including great breakfast. We also booked a snowmobile excursion; everything organised well and we had a great time. The hotel facilities are pretty outdated and the rooms are small; its waiting for an update.

the food included in half board was an amazing 3-course meal everynight
A beautiful hotel in a beautiful area. The food is absolutely amazing, the staff extremely kind and the tours really good organised. We came with our 1 year old daughter and had a few requests and the staff made everything possible. They answered every email right away and made sure we had a lovely stay. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful nature and we were lucky and saw the amazing aurora lights every night! One night they were so strong, that we could even see them from our bedroom. We had a sauna in our room and it was easy to use. We can recommend the hotel to everyone who wants an authentic (and very delicious) trip to Lapland.
The bed kept slipping apart and the rooms were pretty small.
Loved every aspect of our stay here. A kind of quiet, understated sense of beauty, peace, elegance pervades everything: from the kind, professional engagement of the entire staff to the Michelin level cuisine, to the presence of the natural world. A slice of something rare and precious.
Absolutely nothing.
dinner, location, view
Beautiful, understated Wonderland with an incredible staff, from reception to kitchen to wait people to guides. Rooms are perfect, perfectly climate controlled. Food is Michelin worthy. Can't say enough
We hated the fact that at some point we have to leave
Great Service attitude, well appointed rooms and very nice dining experience. Overall ambience was really great with the scenic views. Staff were friendly and menu offerings are quite intriguing.
There were rough patches here and there for the hotel like shower design not making sense, issues with hot/cold water flow, giving me two bottles of hand soap instead of shampoo/conditioner, etc.Service while friendly wasn't always on point. I would be less critical if the cost were less.
Very helpful service when we had to book a room last minute due to a small car issue, staff even looked for a screwdriver for us. Breakfast buffet was on par for lapland.
Room as a bit small and bathroom outdated and under the bed was an old shot glass from some prevoius guest, so hence the deduction. All in all a good place.
Food - disgusting.
Food was almost inedible at dinner time (half board included). Soup cold, dessert just a cold slop, small portions, the waitress not once in 2 nights came to top up our highly marked up wine, and the steak was inedible and undercooked - med well done (so sinewy). Breakfast - assortment of coated donuts and lollies - for breakfast.
The property is beautiful, our room was basic and the restaurant is the real highlight. For once no buffets (like in most hotels in Finland) but a fixed menu with really good ingredients and recipes.
The bedroom was a bit too basic for the price we paid it.
