Guest reviews for Ruoktu
"Everything that you will need is available in the unit . It is central , right across fhe bus stop ; 14 minutes walk to northern light village for activities , 6 minutes walk to their grocery store a 10 minute walk to that spot where we were able to view the northern light village. I appreciate that the host was flexible and able to accomodate our early check in ."
"The communication either the host at first . I did not receive a confirmation message thru here in the booking.com nor an instruction on the check in up until i found his whatsapp contact . Only then did i recieve a message here and we communicate thru whatsapp which he was more responsive ."
"Location is just in center of saariselka..everything is nearby"
"kitchen equipmemts werent clean.for ex - bread toaster, oven were very dirty."
"Great location, clean, has everything you need, good sauna, sledges available. Host responds quickly but only over WhatsApp not booking.com."
"Aucun."
"Very close to all points of interest in Saariselka. We also saw the Northern Lights one night, right outside the accommodation."
"The accommodation is quite old, and moderately clean. Bedding and towels are not included, but can be provided at an extra 15E per person."
"A spacious apartment with a private sauna, a cozy fireplace (wood included), and a well-equipped kitchen. The location is very central, with the bus from Rovaniemi to Saariselkä stopping right in front of the apartment area (on the opposite side of the road). A great spot for aurora viewing is just 1 km away, making it an easy daily walk. During our stay, we even spotted the aurora right from the street outside the apartment. There are also ski sleds available on the terrace, which you can use while exploring the town."
"linen and towels are excluded, it costs 15€/person"
"I visited for honeymoon. We arrived early hostel. Hostel Check in time is 4pm, but we were able to check in on 12pm. So it was very nice location is very good and Room temp is very warm.😊"
"Aucun."
"Very peaceful and tranquil area, good facilities, toilet and shower was separate which was nice, big sauna and had everything you needed for cooking and cleaning - dishwasher, washing machine with inbuilt dryer (huge plus), stove, oven and microwave. Even had a kettle. It was very clean."
"Some of us in the group who slept on the sofa bed found them uncomfortable. Also the curtains hardly block out daylight so there house is very bright in the summer even after midnight which some of us found difficult to get enough sleep."
"Location of Ruokto's apartment is excellent. There's everything around right from good restaurants to sovenier shop. We were lucky to see the Auroras just outside the home on the very 1st night. The house is just 50 mts from the inter city bus stop. The house has everything that we needed. A very comfortable and super clean house. If in Saariselka, best home to stay."
"Since the house is in a locality of similar houses, its a little difficult to trace. A little bigger name plate would be very useful."
"Friendly and communicative host. First time travelling alone with children and felt very comfortable here. Sauna was an added bonus, all the basics were available with ahome from home feel. The xmas tree and lights were a much appreciated surprise, as were the sledges! Warm and cosy lodge, will book to stay here again :)"
"Only suggestion would be adding a cheese grater to the kitchen utensils!"
"Уютный теплый дом, все есть на кухне и в санузле. Везде пол с подогревом, в сауне не мылись. Постельное белье платное, сразу пришло письмо с вопросом и сообщением что платное белье, мы привозили свое. Единственно что долго искали дом. Если встать лицом к Panimo, то дом находится справа , второй дом ,стоит торцом. Практически на центральной улице. . В доме чисто , тепло."
"Все ок"

"Huoneisto oli huomattavasti viihtyisämpi kuin kuvien perusteella odotin"

"Kõik oli suurepärane, maja hästi varustatud, ilus loodus"

"I loved Westin. I was looking for a place just like that, quiet, in the nature, by the water, with sauna, and I got it all. It was so peaceful, and it was so nice to wake up each day and hear the birds sing. I would make my coffee and go and sit by the pier and watch the seagulls dive for fish. There were hiking trails nearby that I took advantage of almost every day. I packed my lunch and went walking in the woods. It is so safe there and I never saw anyone else. It was also really early in the season and I went hiking on weekdays so I did not expect to see anyone. It was also close to Vaasa and it was easy to go shopping for a day. I had couple of dinners that were extra and they were exceptional. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the meal options. I have many restrictions on my meals due to food intolerances and they still managed to make such wonderful meals for me."

"Beautiful space in beautiful surroundings. The bedrooms were small, but very comfortable. Nicely equipped kitchen, though out of coffee, and loved the table. Sauna was wonderful…we were able to enjoy in the evening when we arrived and before the fantastic breakfast spread that awaited us. Johan was even waiting for us to arrive as we ended up arriving later than planned and in the dark. What a warm welcome to our overnight stay."
