Astelin uimaranta

This accommodation was the perfect end to our trip to Finland, the cabin was genuinely faultless, it was spacious and cosy, with a very comfy and warm feeling. The kitchen was was well equipped with pots and utensils etc for if you wanted to stay in and cook. The bed was comfy with a lovely view to wake up to. The shower and toilet facilities were immaculately clean with! Genuinely cannot pick fault with this place. The hot tub was the perfect end to every day and we even found time to jump in before our flight home. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, they were attentive if you needed the to be and the dropped off a lovely breakfast each day for us. The only quibble I had was the drive from the main road to the accommodation, the track felt like an afterthought or was maybe unfinished as it was littered with potholes. But that is her only issue I can find with the accommodation. Overall would definitely recommend and would without question stay there again!

I want to stress how accommodating and attentive the staff was. Reception truly was very welcoming and I do not want my review to reflect on them at all. Could not have been happier with them. That being said the property condition was just not it. There was mud EVERYWHERE; black snow, bit construction signs and and large construction trucks - it just totally totally ruined the feel of the place. The cabin itself was pretty low end in my opinion. Coming from The Northern Lights Village - this was definitely a downgrade and did not feel luxurious or relaxing at all :/ the hottub was nice but the view was black snow, mud and an ugly wooden panel; again just ruining the entire moment. The cabins also had these drapes that were very annoying to deal with and quite literally block the Aurora. I had to wait several pictures to remove the drapes. Disappointed by the location but very happy with the Aurora Borealis. I hate to leave such a critical review but I think it’s important for consumers to know what they are getting for $600/night. Value is just not there.
