From first pick up until finally drop off at the Ivalo airport the Wilderness Hotel Inari took exception care of all our needs, hopes, and dreams. We arrived at the hotel late in the evening and were immediately encouraged to enjoy the buffet before the hassle of checking in. This made a strong first impression on us, our comfort was their top priority. This impression would continue to be fortified each day in different small ways that made our trip beyond our expectations.
Each item of the buffet was very well prepared and the variety allowed us to experience local flavors as well as classic dishes known around the world. I personally started with the soup of the day and freshly made bread before sampling the multiple protein and vegetarian options. The desserts looked wonderful and varied from day to day, however I left my sweet tooth at home.
We stayed in a chalet and an aurora cabin a found both very nice, however, the chalet was our very favorite due to increased privacy, space, and of course, the sauna. The beds were very comfortable and the floors warm (very comforting after adventuring out in the cold!)
We failed to bring enough cold weather clothing, which was no problem because we were provided quality boots, gloves, and snow suits. These were essential to our ability to enjoy the activities throughout our time. We picked a new saying, “there is no bad weather, only bad clothing” and the Wilderness Hotel Inari helped us appreciate this wisdom.
We enjoyed several of the many adventures offered including some Aurora hunting expeditions, ice fishing, and the husky safari. All our guides were kind, helpful, and focused on our enjoyment. We had great success in viewing the Aurora activity and we think our photo’s came out amazing (only using our phones!)
Without a doubt, this trip exceeded our hopes and for a price that felt very fair for the service and comfort.

Very nice atmosphere, and special to stay in vicinity to all those sledding dogs. We also had some reindeer passing the property during our stay. The huts are very cozy. Staff/the owner very nice to communicate with. The sauna option with the icey river water next by is really good.

Good location, easy accessible from the road and close to siida museum, breakfast at the hotel for 10e/ person was very good. It was clean with possibilities to cook. Pets allowed with additional fee 15e
We went on a snowmobiling trip and a dog sledding trip.
We went on a snowmobiling trip and a dog sledding trip. We liked both but really enjoyed the dog sledding more. The cabins on the lake at night, when the northern lights came out, were perfect. Yes it was cold but we could go in an out of the cabins and take pictures as the northern lights waxed and waned. Truly a fabulous adventure that cannot be replicated at a hotel.

Pretty little town, beautiful nature, very few people in the streets. Northern lights!!
Not many places to eat or to go out to, but it wasn't a problem for us. There's also a big museum and a cultural center there, hotels, a souvenir shop and supermarkets, and generally many things specially for the tourists. There is apparently no public bus going between Inari and the Ivalo airport (only Inari and the Ivalo town), but it's possible to book a shuttle bus.

the Wilderness hotel was fantastic.
the Wilderness hotel was fantastic. We love to hike and there are quite a few nice hikes in the area. The museum was very impressive and certainly worthwhile a visit.
The restaurant at the hotel was very good and we ate there every night of our stay. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Hotel Inari.
We stayed at Hotel Inari. View over huge lake from hotelroom and restaurant - and you can walk by foot or snowshoes or skis on the lake or ride snow mobile. Mini villlage, totally quiet, yet supermarket just across the road and tours in the area starting next door without any disturbance. Nice room, good breakfast though a bit crowded for Covid conditions at least at rush time (9 am) and probably winter holiday in Finland. Much much better to go to Inari than to Ivalo. Very friendly and helpful people, and many wonderful tours available.

Kind of remote town middle of nowhere, next to lake Inari.
Kind of remote town middle of nowhere, next to lake Inari. Not much to do if you'd like to downhill skiing or party but if one likes nature, calmness and clean, healthy atmosphere, then Inari is beautiful place. Especially during winter months. Dogsled rides, cross country skiing or such.

It was one of my best accommodations thrue the trip to the nordkapp.
The location is directly on the lake, close to the village of Inari and on the gate to Lemmenjoki nationalpark.
The house was cordially a former sami-school, now renovated as a hotel. An electric sauna in the house, as well as a wood heated sauna on the lake are available, as well as bikes, kajaks and organised icefishing and snowmobile trips.
Breakfast is delicious and even the dinner perfect, self made by the host and containing local food as reindeer and fish.
I'd come again hundred times! We loved the restaurant (a little expensive and they should make bigger portions, but it was super) where we had dinner once.
Breakfast was the best ever! So many choices and a very high-quality level.
Our room was nice, bathroom was not that big, especially shower, but had all the necessery.
Very well-located. The position was great, and we could spot aurora on the river just behind the hotel.
Staff was very kind and helpful.
Bed was super comfortable.
We loved the house, it was perfectly clean and beautiful. All the amenities provided were great. We enjoyed Reindeers that visited us daily morning during our breakfast. It was most unique experience we had. It's very near to SIIDA museum and lake Inari. Juutua trail starts just outside the house which was a plus point. It's a great trail. You will enjoy the stay if you like to stay inside the woods. Very comfortable cottage.
The Aurora Cabin was great, very confortable and we did see some Northern lights from the Cabin on the second night but we had much better ones when we did the car tour with the hotel as we managed to drive exactly where they were active. The buffet food was pretty good, it was different everyday. The location is stunning, we walked on the frozen lake and to the town as well.
The location was perfect! In the forest and in front of a beautiful lake. Private beach. We were alone, without neighbours and had our own cottage. There is also a place for barbecue. Dogs welcome, and our dogs were very happy there.
There is a dry toilet by the cottage, and a normal toilet further away where you have shared showers and even a sauna.
We had a wonderful time at Lake Inari. People are just of incredible kindness, and if you need any help they do not hesitate to give their hands. The experience of sleeping on the lake is totally undescribable!
I would strongly suggest to spend your time here and take part to Atte's running activities.
Thank you guys!

The hotel is pretty simple and we decided to stay another night and we moved to another room that was better with lake view (upgrade). The location is also perfect to watch the Northern Lights and several other activities! Supermarket right in front of the hotel, as well as a huge souvenir store. Sami Museum just 400m away, nice walk under the snow.
Easy check in, location very secluded and opposite a lake, owner has prepared tons of facilities that are ready available to use including camp fires and snow sledding if one is interested. Sauna was amazing. Would visit again if travelling to Inari.
It was very good to have paused at Inari after a long drive before continue to the northeast point in north Finland, the property is simple but nice quiet and close to Inari center, clean comfortable bed and all what you need for basic stay
The view from the lake is great. The bathroom is good. It is clean. They open the roads for car and walk. The breakfast in the main hotel is good and also the dinner. The staff in the main hotel’s restaurant was kind and helpful.
The house is perfect, comfortable and clean. The hosts left coffee and tea for use. The sauna is a plus after a day in deep cold. The nearby restaurant (wilderness hotel) is very good and the staff is very nice.
A fantastic stay!
The owner Satu is a very lovely host.
The location of the hotel is perfect, it's very close to literally everything.
The room was clean, the beds comfortable.
If I come to Inari a second time, I will definitely stay here again.
Excellent location overlooking Lake Inari! Was an excellent location to see the Aurora and the Aurora Cabin has unobstructed view of the lake and doesn’t look at other cabins. The cabin was nice and new.
The cabin is in the middle of the woods which is beautiful. The location is perfect to walk on the forest or on the lake to chase northern lights. The facilities are good and the accommodation is comfy.
The hotel location is great. It's right in the city center. Everything is within 10 mins walking distance. Staffs are friendly. The room is clean and has everything you need.
The staff was fantastic and welcoming. A special thanks to the housekeeper who went out of her way to help you. Clean, comfortable hotel; we will definitely be coming back.
The hotel is old but nice, on the river so nice view from the rooms and at breakfast.
Breakfast was nice.
