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 stayed at the hotel during our stay. A modern twist on standard fare, makes this a great place to try. The reindeer rib appetizer was so good that we had it 2 mites, the perch was voted best by 2 of 4 that had...it, the mushroom pan was loved by 3 of 4, the reindeer pot was exceptional. The desserts are scrumptious Not inexpensive, but well worth the money. Friendly serviceMore

I had blinis for a sater, and it was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. For main course I had perch coated with rye. It was delicious. My husband had salmon for a starter, and roedeer for the main course. The salmon...was fine, but the deerwas excuisite. We also had a very good amarone to go with the meal.More

We had a superb dinner here. The fish buffet is highly recommended. You can try different sorts of Finnish fish and Lapland potatoes. The dessert was also delicious. This is not the cheapest place, but worth it!

Some local businessman told me to go there and try the reindeer. Wasn't sure at first because i was the only client (turns out it's a slow season Just before christmas here), but i was really impress. First, i asked for a local cocktail and...the waitress gave me a drink with vidka, wild berry, syrop and citrus. I started really good (and i dont like vodka). After that, she suggested i take the reindeer filet with tounge in a brown sauce.... I was disgusted but she convinced me to take it and im sure glad i did! It tasted so Good and so soft. Plus, its just accross the chappel and 10 min walk from the ski station.More

A week on a familyholiday and we organized one night for a quick dinnerdate. The choice we made was perfect. Atmosphere was quiet enough but not too much and I think becouse of the menu, there were no kids. We ate fish-table and Lapas (...Lapland tapas) for starters, both so tasty and full of different kind of exotic tastes. Lamb and fish for main course, both excellent. Wine was a true match, as was the recommended cappucino with nutliquer. The waiter was so professional, it made us feel very special customers. Excellent, a little expensive menu, but really worth of every cent.More

Take the advise of the chef for their recommendations of local produce. Top class dining, with a wonderful variety of selected fish, tapas, or red meat (reindeer).
