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.

The breakfast was phenomenal. The beauty of the area sets this in an excellent location even though it's out of the way.

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.

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.

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.

The location was great, right off the lake, a short walk to the Sami cultural museum (definitely go), and a market right across the street for any other things you might need. The restaurant was great, which is good because there isn't much else to choose from in town. The hotel also has a nice selection of excursions and activities with gear to borrow. We did the aurora hunting excursions with snowmobiles/sleds and the guide was very helpful. Arranging for transit to and from the airport was easy via the website.
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.
Great staff. They guided us to an extraordinary location for spotting the Northern lights, and we did! Perfect apartment with everything you need. I just loved the way they were prepared for my one year old - perfect crib and kid-friendly moomin cutleries. Beds are extraordinarily comfy - top class — 5 star hotel level. Proper siZed kitchen. Larger than traditional kitchens. A minute walk from the hypermarket.
Whole apartment is so clean and exactly the same as you see in the pictures.
The location is nice, right infront of the lake with good views from the main lounge/receiption/restaurant area. The staff is extremely friendly and always helpful, going out of their way to make your stay and experience in Inari a memorable one. Many activities to choose from and beautifully organized to ensure you have a good, safe time. The standard rooms are ideal for a couple or a solo traveller. 113 has good views!
The cabins are beside the Inari lake, which give you larger chance to see aurora than staying in hotel Inari. The room‘s two big French windows really impress me. It also has equipments for cooking and Finish sauna in each cabin. It only takes about 5 mins walk to nearby market and restrauant. The bus station is just 100 meters away. It is really a brilliant experence to stay here!
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!

Helpful staff. Terrific location in the center of Inari. Sauna in my room was awesome! Breakfast buffet was delicious and some things changed daily. Restaurant was good, but pricey. Hotel has their own safari company, so logistically it was a breeze. Great range of activities: dogsledding, reindeers, snowshoeing we’re all great. Very professional.
Nice cottage, very spacious next to the lake. lovely living room with a fully equiped kitchen and a fire place with enough wood and instructions in How to fire it up. The location is about 10 mins drive from Inari center. Also i have to say the staff was incredible kind helping us in Xmas day when We had troubles getting our car out of the snow.
Amazing location. We could observe aurora lights from the lake Paatari nearby. The road can be a bit tricky if the weather is bad (snow storm).
The house is also beautiful. The Jacuzzi is very nice. The morning view is appeasing.
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.
The most beautiful property in Inari. Great staff, restaurant and facilities. Right by the lake. We stayed in cabins with Sauna- wonderful, modern design, and from our cabin, we saw Northern lights during our stay! loved it!
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 is old but nice, on the river so nice view from the rooms and at breakfast.
Breakfast was nice.
One of the receptionists was very nice. The others - less...
