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.

A hidden gem in Finnish Lapland. A level of gastronomy you would not immediately expect here. The chef uses local products and comes to the table to explain himself. We can only recommend this cuisine. You will find the love for Finland translated in your plate. There is magic with the richness of the Lapland nature. Do not hesitate and go there. You will not regret it!

Amazing little resort renovated with good taste and quality.
Restaurant is something that you might not think to find in the middle of the Lappish forest. Location by the lake is just panoramic.
Kitchen is staffed with top chefs of Finland and waiters know their job and wines.
Choose between 5 or 3 course menu. I recommend the five course menu with wine package. And since we are in the middle of wilderness, they pour some nice wines and with nice amount of the wine as well ;)

Really surprised us positively (even with high expectations). An amazing 6 course menu that was close if not the best fine dining menu I’ve ever had in Finland. Paired with great wines and all in a cozy but luxurious surrounding with great service and quite affordable price.

Did not honour booking and offered no alternative than to turn around at the door - unacceptable. You had our phone number, you should’ve called that you decided to cancel all bookings in favour of a tour group.

Dear Voyage254062,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the situation you experienced during your visit. Unfortunately, an error in our reservation system incorrectly displayed availability for the time in question. This regrettably led to a misunderstanding, as our team believed all online reservations for that time had been closed. As a result, your booking was not noticed in our system, leading to the unfortunate situation you encountered.
We deeply regret not offering an alternative, such as a reservation at our sister restaurant, a gift card, or another on-location solution. This does not reflect the level of service we strive to provide, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. With several new team members onboard, we are taking immediate steps to improve our processes and communication to ensure this does not happen again.
We would greatly appreciate the chance to make this right. Please feel free to contact us directly so we can assist you with a gift card or a future reservation and provide a dining experience that reflects our standards. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we hope to welcome you back for a much-improved experience.
Warm regards,
Liisa / Marketing and Sales Manager
