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 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.

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 hotel is just beautiful. located on the lake Inari and surrounded by natire. You can walk on the lake if it’s frozen and at night you can see the auroras. The staff are very nice, approachable and happy to help with whatever they can to make your stay more enjoyable. The hotel is about half an hour walk from the village Inari and it’s very easy and safe to walk there. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel if you are going to Rovaniemi. The rooms are super clean and cozy like a perfect wilderness cottage. I loved it.
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.
Hotel:
Perfect location and the staffs are really kind and helpful! The breakfast and dinner are really nice with a great variety of food. Cabin is really neat!
Surrounding:
The surrounding is really quiet and we even got to spot reindeers and see Aurora at the lake, which is behind the hotel.
Extra Info:
The ride to Inari center is around 20 minutes by taxi (around 23 Euro) and ride to airport is around 40 minutes by taxi (around 132 Euro).
I liked everything about my stay there starting from how friendly the people are to how unique the experience is of staying the night in a mobile cabin in the middle of a frozen lake. many thanks to Sampsa, Esko and his wife in making our stay an unforgettable experience. They made us feel like home, arranged for us an activity (snow mobile) to do in the evening and prepared a very delicious barbecue dinner in front of a nice fireplace
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.
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.
Great place, with a great view! Equipped with all you need, and you can park the car in front of the house.
The area is quiet and charming and at only few steps from your door there is a nice hotel with bar and restaurant.
The host has been very kind and supportive with all our questions.
Highly recommended!
The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel stay before the lake and so many activities can be attend. We could view the Northern light on the lake at 1 am at night. The bus stop is set before the hotel. The breakfast is excellent with many choice of fresh salad, bread, ham and hot dishes. We recommend.
The staff was extremely friendly and we really felt that we were welcome. We saw some Auroras on the lake and enjoyed the wonderful landscape of Finnish Lapland. The ice fishing was a great experience too. Atte was so great guide and he prepared so tasty dishes from fishes of Inari lake.
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 service is excellent and staff very friendly! second oldest hotel in Finland. the restaurant is a must, compliments to the chef! absolute value for money in a country where a lot of tourist services are heavily overpriced!
Idyllic location overlooking Lake Inari. Fantastic restaurant for dinner and breakfast. My room was lovely and had a private sauna. Walking distance from Siida (Sami museum) and hiking trails.
We loved our stay in the Aurora Hut. The view of the lake was beautiful. We had a pretty sunset, and saw some AMAZING Northern Lights! We loved that it was quiet and not crowded!
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.
Very quite place at a lake. Calming atmosphere, idyllic for swimming, sitting outside at a fireplace in the evening and have self-made pancakes for a breakfast!
