We stayed for two nights at one of the chalets. It was very roomy, although we found functional areas were lacking, more specifically, there was no counter space or mirror by the shower sink which made it difficult for basic use and the lack of caddies to place our belongings. Towel hooks weren’t the greatest and they kept falling off. The sink in the bathroom was extremely small, even just for handwashing and everything kept getting splashed. The breakfast was good but it did get quite busy. The doors also kept sticking to the floor which could be related to uneven flooring. Otherwise the property was beautiful with the lake out front and a beach. There was a large tipi with what appeared to be used for activities like yoga but we were never informed of this, which would’ve been nice to have been informed during check in so we didn’t have to wonder. The food at the restaurant was delicious!

The hotel is new and very typical. We had a wilderness room which was spacious, comfortable, clean and warm. However the bathroom, although new, seemed basic. I would appreciate a screen between shower and toilet, lack of screen means the toilet gets wet. The cleaning of the room is every other day. However we stayed three nights and the room was never made. I think to ask 25 euros for a WhatsApp message for the aurora alert is ridiculous, it should be complimentary. Food choice is reasonable but of very good quality. Sauna needs to be booked but it is a very nice experience. I would add a water fountain rather than taking the water from the toilet

The Igloo room was a great idea; however, the execution was lackluster at best. The mattress was uncomfortable. The shower was very awkward and you can only take a 10 minute shower in a very small space. Also, no amenities like a nice shampoo, conditioner, or body lotion were provided.

We visited this property in search of the northern lights. The location is ao well located we did not have to leave the hotele grounds. We saw a huge aurora display over the aurora cabins and the frozen lake directly behind the hotel. The food was amazing and we really enjoyed the husky ride we booked though the hotel. The staff were amazing throughout the hotel. All in all this trip provided everything we wanted and more. Would highly recommend.

Stayed at the hotel during the winter and had a wonderful time. The chalets are very modern, stylish, clean, and cozy (much better than in the pictures). The main hotel building is really cozy and the food was simple yet very well made and tasty. The service was overall really friendly and catered to requests promptly. Finally, the surroundings of the hotel are really beautiful. Walking over the frozen lake and snowmobiling to a campsite to see the northern lights were unforgettable experiences.

Great hotel and buffets. Location is fabulous! However don’t expect much service and our room sauna doesn’t work properly and being remote there is nothing the hotel can do to fix it. So you can gamble on paying extra for the chalet without the proper facilities!

Totally Charming Hotel
We loved staying at this hotel. Our room was pretty normal--clean and comfortable--but the breakfast and the sauna made the experience fantastic. It was so lovely to cool off in the lake and then warm up in the sauna with its lovely views of the lake. The breakfast was exceptionally good. The room was dark enough for us to sleep well, even when it stayed light all night!

Dont go to this hotel
We were in this hotel for 3 days 1days for the normal room and 2 days for the igloo 1. The hygiene of the restaurant is awful It's a tough time with Covid19, we all need to be extra cautious, while this hotel didnt try hard when the kids touch the food and cough next to the buffet bar. Some of the guest are not wearing a mask on when they take the food. The waiter were standing there and didnt stop the irresponsible guests. We were at the restaurant entrance and waited their waiter to arrange the table for dinner. After 5 min when we were seated another waiter came and ask us which room are we from and he said next time wait for people to put you at the table... And with your lack of communication and accuse without confirm in advance, it is really unacceptable The attitude of the receptionist are also awful We dont have our room cleaning when we go back to our igloo. And i went for the reception for house cleaning. The server said "ok...now you want house cleaning for your room" i paid hkd9000 for 2 night of Igloos and yes i expected clean towel and thats not the right attitude Last but not least, the igloos is small and there is no wifi in the Igloos. Dont expect people would carry your luggage nor judge the service because of the price paid, it really doesnt worth it.

Lots of room for improvement
We spent 3 nights at the Wilderness Hotel. Overall it was a good experience but there is a lot of room for improvement. Amenities are not easily accessible, we dragged our bags in the cold but the hotel had no problem sending a car round at checkout time to tell us to leave (rude!). Super overpriced met with slow service at dinner. The location was good and strategic.

Nice, modern place with a great view
Stayed three nights in "Aurora" cabin with glass roof. It was good for sleeping and evidently cool if there happens to be aurora in the sky. They have also log cabins and hotel rooms. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the interior made with taste. Positive surprise was free sauna time each day, but small minus was some smell in the dre#in room. The sauna cabin has also glass roof and direct access to the lake.
