Great room for the price, nice clean hotel with modern upkeep. Staff was great, especially the restaurant staff after hours when help was needed. Nothing bad to say other than breakfast and parking situation.

Compact and convenient for most things.
Compact and convenient for most things. Skiiers used to Alpine ski resorts will find it small but it has good snow and being amongst trees is lovely. Bear in mind that beginners wanting the easiest slopes should be at the Valley side not the Village side or else you'll need to bus/gondola across.

I was in the summer.... which is still not too warm... so take that in to consideration.
There are TONS of mosquitoes, you wouldn't believe, but still the area is beautiful and the things to is basically kayaking, hiking or just relaxing. you must have a car to get around and it's better to purchase food and cook for yourself where you stay.

Ruka is a great family resort.
Ruka is a great family resort. A winter paradise with cross country skiing and downhill skiing available. There is also a ski school. I recommend staying in Ruka village side rather than Ruka valley side.
Ice slide onto small frozen lake was super popular with my kids as well as watching the ski jumping.
Highly recommend the ski school and Lammintupa for reindeer and husky adventures.

Ruka is a very friendly and family oriented place but my son...
Ruka is a very friendly and family oriented place but my son and his friends enjoyed the night- life at Ruka village too. Skiing is for those who enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere as this place doesn’t have many if any for the more experienced ones. We did not have to queue at the lifts. Nevertheless it is very popular with couples and families alike . There are plenty of places to eat in , or use the take-away services too. We would definitely go back next year. Loved it!

Beautiful place, fantastic food in the restuarants in Ruka...
Beautiful place, fantastic food in the restuarants in Ruka Village. Must try Stefans Steakhouse. Do book with Ruka Adventures for experiences, they are exciting, genuine and very helpful. The Cabin is cosy and warm and an ideal place to relax. Would highly recommend to all.
The apartment was cozy, nicely decorated, clean and supplied with everything you need for a comfortable stay, shorter or longer. Despite being in a row house, there was a cabin-like feeling and the neighbors weren't a distraction. The self-service check-in process was convenient. The location near Ruka is great with easy access by car to all the key nature destinations the Kuusamo region has to offer. Highly recommended, thanks for having us!
Beautiful hotel right by the lake. Great views from the restaurant/breakfast room. Nice fireplace that gives a great ambiance to the room. Electric Sauna was good too. The rooms are equipped with an electrical clothes dryer which is very thoughtful and was already useful in the fall, so I can only imagine how useful it will be in winter! The location is great as well, just a short walk from Ruka village.
The property is close to Ruka Valley (4 min drive), but in the forest with a few neighbours, so very quiet. The house is for up to 10 people. We were just 4 people, so enough space for everyone. It was good equipped with all the kitchen utensils, fridge freezer, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, microwave, cooker and coffee machine. Plenty of cups, plates, pans and pots.
This is a well-situated, large cabin within walking distance to Ruka Village, but still surrounded by nature. 5 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, large sauna/spa and well-equipped kitchen. Very clean, very outdoorsy, but kitchen and bathrooms are freshly renovated and modern contrasting the logg walls beautifully. Excellent cost/quality ration.
Our apartment had a bathtub, which was much appreciated after a long hiking trip. It also had a nice balcony facing the main village square, plus a neat sauna. Well equipped kitchen. Dog-friendly. Excellent breakfast at the hotel across the street. We were allowed to checkout late.
Excellent situated in the Village with all that you need within walking distance. The shop was in the first floor.
Beautiful conditions with Ski tracks and downhill slopes.
One of the better Ski sites in Europe.
Nice flat with everything you need for your own household.
Apartment is right in Ruka center next to front slopes. It was very clean and everything was there what we needed. Parking could have been an issue. But we were lucky to get free place when we arrived and then we didn't have to move the car for 2 days 😊
Lovely little log cabin a very short slide on skis to the slopes! Great quiet location in Ruka Valley. Lovely skiing and fantastic coming home to a hot sauna! 100% would stay again. Couldn't ask for more from a log cabin in the Finnish woods.
Location is great! 3 minutes drive from Ruka's center. Kitchen was well equipped, showers were great and so was the fireplace with lots of ready wood in the storage. There's also a smart big screen TV and a big dining table. plenty of space.
I like the location and the ambiance of the hotel. Basic rooms, but as a ski-in hotel it provides easy access to both the slopes and cross-country tracks. The hotel's restaurant is a good one with a real live fireplace boosting a cozy feel.
Cabin was spotless
Everything we needed was available
Sauna was great
Beds comfy
Good location - less than 10 minute drive to Ruka village and 15 to Ruka Valley.
Instructions were clear.
Drying cabinet was great.
It's an entire apartment with all great features like its own sauna, dishwasher, washing machine, drying closet, fully equipped kitchen, couch, TV, and balcony. Good location at the center of Ruka village.
The views from the room ofcourse :-). A very good breakfast. Walking on the walking trail around the property with snowshoes and walking sticks provided by the hotel. Great staff.
Nice location by the lake, 15min to Ruka east slopes.
The place is cozy. The dryer is convenient for drying gloves and ski clothes.
The kitchen is compact but very well equipped.
The villa we booked is spacious and cozy. We love everything. The village itself is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We hope we could stay longer.
