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.

An average place that serves average food which does not blow you away but does not fully disappoint either. Customer service was okay, options quite usual, restaurant inside nice enough. Wine and food more expensive than in other places. Doubt we will remember this place,...for good and bad.More

While visiting Koli, please visit Grill It if not anything else then for a pint and pizza. The staff is very friendly, food is yummy and scenery is breathtaking.

It is bit depressing to stay a week in a hotel which has only one restaurant which serves bad/tasteles food. Food was like chef was pulled out of jailhouse kitchen, totally lacking of self appreciation and passion for food. Dishes where bland tasting and in...some cases just bad.More

We enjoyed the awesome view but risotto's structure was like porrage, it was missing spices. Also fish was awerage and without spices as well.

Hi Minniinni! We are truly sorry for the texture of our risotto! We will be extra careful with it in the future. Best regards from Koli, Sanna

The hotel restaurant surprised positively. The view is stunning, it was known, but the menu was also working. If something could be improved, then more local products and importers would be introduced.

Food was OK, but nothing special. Service icould have been better as we had to wait for a table more than 10 minutes, even if there was space (considering Covid-19 restrictions) and quite a lot of waitresses working and no other people waiting for a...table.More

The views are great - and that’s it. Personnel slow, phlegmatic and service non-existent. Food overpriced and bad. Ordered a salmon salad bowl - and got one including CALAMARI and canned MANGO, in the middle of a Finnish National Park. This place is disrespectful of...its customers and a shame to the environment- but clearly survives thanks to the beautiful spot it’s located in. DO NOT RECOMMEND.More

Really tasty food. I ate fried squid as a starter and pork ribs as main course. Squid was really tender and ribs were really tasty and juicy, bones almost fell off from the meat. We waited a big long for the startes but our waitress...was really kind and made us forget about little delay with excellent customer service. Main course and dessert came in time and no delay at all even tho the restaurant was full.More

I ate here with friends, we went mid March 2021 around 3 and the restaurant was half empty. This was nice as we were concerned about crowds. They were very specific about our allergies and checked these a few times which we appreciated. Friendly service!

Visited in the restaurant two times. Quite basic S-group restaurant and a bit expensive. So don't expect much. First evening I ordered Caeser salad and was ok. Second evening ordered salmon with risotto. Dish was quite heavy and salmon was overdone. Ice cream included ice...- once melted. Service was nice and friendly and views are stunning.More

Part of the Sokos Hotel on site. Very good food, both the vegetarian skewer and the meat burger can be recommended. Ambience a bit cold, modern Scandinavian look. Tables with a view need to be reserved ahead of time. Expensive even by Finnish standards.
