Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We wanted an apartment so we could come & go as we pleased and also to relax in the evening.We booked the apartment with Tui and were extremely pleased. We were a family of 3 and I’d say the accommodation would comfortably fit a family of 4 (2 adults 2 children). The bonus of the apartment was that it came with its own sauna which my husband used a lot. We had a nice living/dinning area where we did cook a couple of meals using the facilities provided. The main bedroom is compact but comfortable with good wardrobe space. The other bedroom is fairly small with bunk beds (the stairs are steep but have high sides so there’s no chance a little one could fall out). On booking it did say a 1 bedroom apartment but actually it is 2 separate bedrooms it’s just the one with the bunks is small. We also had a small balcony which was nice and a drying cupboard which was brilliant, the apartment was very well thought out & came with a fireplace.
The location was spot on, it was away from the town of Ruka by only 10 minutes walk (via the shortcut) and it backed onto the beautiful lake which was frozen and where we got a glimpse of the northern lights. It was the best of both worlds.
The apartment also left 2 sledges which we used everyday.
The hotel restaurant next door was also very nice.
Also the apartment is operated by a key code so you don’t need to worry about loosing keys just remember to take a photo so you don’t forget the code.
The only negative comment was that you had to make the beds when you arrived which was a pain especially after a long journey but other than that is was a perfect place to stay in a beautiful location. We’d definitely stay here again I’m just surprised this great place doesn’t have more reviews as it was fully booked. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good value. This is the third time we live here. Excellent beautiful location and the apartment has everything one needs. There are good spaces to store sports equipment such as bicycles in the fall and slalom skis in the winter. Private beach and winter swimming in winter

We went to Finland for New Year 2015 with Crystal Ski and to be honest didn't know what to expect. After a short 25min transfer from the Airport we were at the apartment with our key code for the electronic lock. First impressions were a spotlessly clean apartment, well equipped and very warm with the under floor heating. We had a 6 birth room for 4 of us (2 twin bedrooms plus sofa bed) so ideal for us with 2 teenage boys. Plenty of room, free wifi, kitchen with all appliances including dishwasher (bring your own tablets unless you know how to use powder and rinse solution) comfy beds (you do have to make them up on arrival) and an amazing sauna.
Clearly, we were skiing and with the nearest lift literally across the road (30mtr) with the ability ski back into the apartment you couldn't ask for better. The Tonttu apartments are just outside the village centre and to walk only takes 10 mins max, not worth waiting for the free ski bus, via a tunnel under the ski slopes and escalator.

We were on a half board basis eating in the Tonttu restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was buffet style with choices of porridge, toast, hot and cold meat, cereal, tea and coffee etc etc. plenty of choice. Dinner was a bit strange as there was a fixed started which was sometimes hot and sometimes a bit of salad - do have the beetroot soup if offered - amazing! Main course was a single choice of fish or meat (plenty of reindeer - sorry Rudolph !) well cooked and very tasty although portions are quite small for English standards. Sweets were a single choice of the day but the homemade ice-cream was wonderful. The dining room surroundings were amazing with a big fireplace in the centre as a feature with wood panels and nice and warm. Note that the restaurant is not park of the accommodation (strangely) so any accommodation issues (we had none) need to be reported in the village and all is explained in the apartment welcome book.

The skiing is limited for more advanced skiers and irritatingly the few black runs are closed most of the day for training! However, you couldn't ask for a better place for learning, which is why we were there as our 2 boys have just defected to the dark side and become boarders! The tuition is wonderful and in Finland they clearly attract teachers from all over Europe so it is highly likely you will get an English instructor (unlike the ESF mafia in France!) The facilities are not up to the Alps standard but the whole place is a scaled down event. The slopes are very wide and not busy and with 3 hours of daylight skiing under floodlights makes the whole place magical. Do wear plenty of layers as it got to -25C on one day and you will need to wear some kind of face protection (we used cycle balaclavas from Aldi - £1.99 extremely well spent!). There are wooden huts with open fires dotted around the piste so if you have a pack of sausages in your bag the that makes for a tasty hot snack - they even provide the toasting forks! Food and drink is typically expensive everywhere and so is alcohol so fill your bags with wine at the airport. There is a small supermarket in the village centre where we bought soup, bread, pasta and pizza for lunches - being able to ski back was great and with a hot boot and clothes warmer in each apartment then all your stuff is toasty warm for when you go back out.

As to Crystal Ski other than the welcome meeting (which a delay at the airport meant we missed) and them dropping off a card for departure time the day before we left - we never saw them. We did make a comment on our feedback forms that a visit to check everything was OK with its clients wouldn't do a miss, although I understand that they did visit some log cabins that were further away. Luckily everything was good so we didn't really need them.

Also, buy your ski passes and ski school on arrival (you have plenty of time) in the hire shop as they are cheaper than Crystal and you don't pay their ridiculous exchange rate either. If you tell the ski school you are with Crystal they will even put you in the same classes so you are with fellow Brits. The service is excellent and the equipment well maintained.

Overall a great place to stay, great apartment on the slopes (almost) which are ideal if you are a beginner and a lovely restaurant to eat and relax in the evening.

Location really good! Skiing and downhill skiing easy to leave.
A cozy and comfortable place, but the staff indifference.
Breakfast is scarce and many things ran out and completed. Food also stood a long time served. Fine saunas, but a bit of a mess everywhere. Frozen lake did not dare to go, since the path so icy and will not be maintained. I feel like nobody cares anything?
A fine setting, but poor management!

Amazin’ place to spend an evening after a day full of various activities! I didn’t stay at the hotel myself, but was present at this place every evening.

The 1st great thing abt this place is the sauna and the ice-pool. Granted every hotel/motel in finland has a sauna – but the addition of the ice-pool on Lake Talvijarvi makes an added attraction.
I did give in to this new Finn thing and ended up diving in the ice-pool (or rather wading into it) after heating up at the Sauna, and had run for the sauna again for dear life after the ice-pool dip! In hindsight –it was amazing, though at that time the dip felt like a thousand stabs in the body!

And the next great thing abt this place was the bar and restaurant…with a very friendly bartenders who will regale you local tales and customes and quite a good stock of alcohol and a spread of Finnish cuisine…it definitely brought a nice close to the day.

It is here that I learnt abt hot chocolate with mint liquer, the royal wine () and also tasted a host of Finnish fish from the fried state (vendace) to the raw state (perch). Around 8-8:30 they also light up the fireplace and make it even cosier.

The salmon soup and the reindeer soup comes highly recommended and yes – do end everything with that special hot chocolate with Minttu!

Don’t miss – the view from the balconey which looks over the ice-pool and all across the frozen Talvijarvi…

We stayed one night during our summer holiday in RukaTonttu hotel. Our standard room was new, clean and it had nice view. The hotel locates on a lake. At least end of the summer the hotel was really peaceful. Also hotel's restaurant was really good. The breakfast was delicious: eggs, bacon, porridge with fresh berries, yoghurt, baked bread etc.
You should go to the Oulanka national park during your stay in Ruka.

More than a hotel! We were made to feel as though we were old friends. Delicious traditional home cooked meals and scrumptious desserts - even the ice cream is homemade! Ari, the owner and chef, was a mine of information about local customs and culture. He really went out his way to please us with his excellent cooking skills! This hotel is highly recommended!

We spent here one night in June after walking the Karhunkierros trail. I don't know if our room was larger than the ordinary ones since we reserved a room for three adults and two dogs, but at least the room that we were assigned to was reasonably roomy even for our lot, with lots of cupboard space (plus a drying closet!). So if that's the size and equipment of a standard room, I'm sure that it would be a very good option for a longer skiing trip - you really have some room to live there even with all your space-consuming winter stuff.

The room was clean and seemed new, no signs of wear and tear that are usually apparent in non-allergy hotel rooms that are allowed for pets. The hotel didn't really acknowledge the presence of our dogs at all, a thing that some Finnish chain hotels tend to do (giving some kind of a welcome package with treats and poo bags etc.), certainly not a problem for me, just a notion if anyone else traveling with pets is interested.

We did not have dinner at the hotel restaurant, only breakfast, but it seemed really cozy and nice with the lake-view and all. The time of our stay was probably the quietest period of a year, so no wonder there wasn't that many staff members around. The ones that we encountered were friendly and helpful. Overall, we were really happy with our brief stay.

We spent a long weekend at Rukatonttu early February. RukaTonttu is located only a five minute walk from the Ruka center with all restaurants and services. Peacefully located by a lake you can either stay in the hotel or in apartments. We had a very nice, clean and cosy hotel room in the basement with an entrance practically out on the lake. Outside you also have the possibility to swim in the lake around the year (yes it's cold). If you ski the nearest lift is only some 50 meters from the hotel and if Nordic skiing is of interest it can be done on the lake. We will definitely return. Worth mentioning is the very nice personnel managed by the very owner Matti.
