Haltia Lake Lodge Nature Boutique Hotel & Glamping

Just perfect moment for relaxation in the nature, first hiking in the forest, then relaxing and absolutely perfect dinner at the restaurant. Excellent food and wines, expertise regarding the wines was also great, everything the staff proposed really hit the target. Thank you for everything!

- There is an open construction site just in front of the rooms. We were never informed about this and the disturbance (visual and sound wise) that this would bring us. - Food choice for vegetarian (vegan) is extremely limited. However there were some options (salad or an oat bowl) - they even tasted ok depending on the day (if the chef was present). However the price of 26€ for a small vegan bowl of cabbage, oats, veggies and beens / 20€ for a salad felt like a rip off. (And did not taste very well) - Sauna. Normally in Finnland sauna is included, but here you had to pay 50€ extra if you wanted to use the sauna in the evening. I understand this meant to save energy, but with the price of the room it felt like it should be included. - Staff. Very kind and very young. Felt like all of them were super sweet teenagers but when we complained it was obvious that it wont bring anything. The girls were changing every day and it just did not seem very professional. - For cleaning the premises a motor car is used, wich does not fit at all to the whole sustainability concept. - For a three nights stay our room felt a bit cramped. Rooms are very small!

Very nice atmosphere and service! Good hiking location near the lake. Truly recommend this venue for short getaway. Staff were very friendly and restaurant had good selection of drinks and food. All in all nice experience, very Finnish and down to earth.

Loved the hotel. Just keep in mind that you are in a National Park and not close to any store. The food choices at the hotel for dinner were very limited but very good. If you are a picky eater you could have problems. You may want to stock up with a few food supplies to put in the mini fridge. Staff was super nice and polite.

Had a relaxing and cosy stay here while hiking the surrounding areas with my partner, a convenient location to base off. We were warmly welcomed by Miko, one of the proprietors of the establishment, who gave us a detailed explanation of the premises as well recommendations on popular hikes. Appreciated the sustainability features including cups, cutlery used. Dinner menu was always changing depending on available local produce, which we enjoyed. Breakfast buffet was equally enjoyable, made even more so by chef/ops Sari. We liked the sourdough bread and spreads in particular. Rooms were warm and welcoming. Loved the lights in the room, every one (from foyer, bedside, main living area to bathroom) seemed infinitely dimmable. Helped with setting the mood!
