From first pick up until finally drop off at the Ivalo airport the Wilderness Hotel Inari took exception care of all our needs, hopes, and dreams. We arrived at the hotel late in the evening and were immediately encouraged to enjoy the buffet before the hassle of checking in. This made a strong first impression on us, our comfort was their top priority. This impression would continue to be fortified each day in different small ways that made our trip beyond our expectations.
Each item of the buffet was very well prepared and the variety allowed us to experience local flavors as well as classic dishes known around the world. I personally started with the soup of the day and freshly made bread before sampling the multiple protein and vegetarian options. The desserts looked wonderful and varied from day to day, however I left my sweet tooth at home.
We stayed in a chalet and an aurora cabin a found both very nice, however, the chalet was our very favorite due to increased privacy, space, and of course, the sauna. The beds were very comfortable and the floors warm (very comforting after adventuring out in the cold!)
We failed to bring enough cold weather clothing, which was no problem because we were provided quality boots, gloves, and snow suits. These were essential to our ability to enjoy the activities throughout our time. We picked a new saying, “there is no bad weather, only bad clothing” and the Wilderness Hotel Inari helped us appreciate this wisdom.
We enjoyed several of the many adventures offered including some Aurora hunting expeditions, ice fishing, and the husky safari. All our guides were kind, helpful, and focused on our enjoyment. We had great success in viewing the Aurora activity and we think our photo’s came out amazing (only using our phones!)
Without a doubt, this trip exceeded our hopes and for a price that felt very fair for the service and comfort.

The view from the lake is great. The bathroom is good. It is clean. They open the roads for car and walk. The breakfast in the main hotel is good and also the dinner. The staff in the main hotel’s restaurant was kind and helpful.

We went on a snowmobiling trip and a dog sledding trip. We liked both but really enjoyed the dog sledding more. The cabins on the lake at night, when the northern lights came out, were perfect. Yes it was cold but we could go in an out of the cabins and take pictures as the northern lights waxed and waned. Truly a fabulous adventure that cannot be replicated at a hotel.

Pretty little town, beautiful nature, very few people in the streets. Northern lights!!
Not many places to eat or to go out to, but it wasn't a problem for us. There's also a big museum and a cultural center there, hotels, a souvenir shop and supermarkets, and generally many things specially for the tourists. There is apparently no public bus going between Inari and the Ivalo airport (only Inari and the Ivalo town), but it's possible to book a shuttle bus.

the Wilderness hotel was fantastic.
the Wilderness hotel was fantastic. We love to hike and there are quite a few nice hikes in the area. The museum was very impressive and certainly worthwhile a visit.
The restaurant at the hotel was very good and we ate there every night of our stay. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Hotel Inari.
We stayed at Hotel Inari. View over huge lake from hotelroom and restaurant - and you can walk by foot or snowshoes or skis on the lake or ride snow mobile. Mini villlage, totally quiet, yet supermarket just across the road and tours in the area starting next door without any disturbance. Nice room, good breakfast though a bit crowded for Covid conditions at least at rush time (9 am) and probably winter holiday in Finland. Much much better to go to Inari than to Ivalo. Very friendly and helpful people, and many wonderful tours available.

Kind of remote town middle of nowhere, next to lake Inari.
Kind of remote town middle of nowhere, next to lake Inari. Not much to do if you'd like to downhill skiing or party but if one likes nature, calmness and clean, healthy atmosphere, then Inari is beautiful place. Especially during winter months. Dogsled rides, cross country skiing or such.

It was one of my best accommodations thrue the trip to the nordkapp.
The location is directly on the lake, close to the village of Inari and on the gate to Lemmenjoki nationalpark.
The house was cordially a former sami-school, now renovated as a hotel. An electric sauna in the house, as well as a wood heated sauna on the lake are available, as well as bikes, kajaks and organised icefishing and snowmobile trips.
Breakfast is delicious and even the dinner perfect, self made by the host and containing local food as reindeer and fish.
Great staff. They guided us to an extraordinary location for spotting the Northern lights, and we did! Perfect apartment with everything you need. I just loved the way they were prepared for my one year old - perfect crib and kid-friendly moomin cutleries. Beds are extraordinarily comfy - top class — 5 star hotel level. Proper siZed kitchen. Larger than traditional kitchens. A minute walk from the hypermarket.
Whole apartment is so clean and exactly the same as you see in the pictures.
One of the best experiences of my trip, it’s an amazing experience slept overnight in the middle of the frozen lake with Aurora view (Not the best night but still saw some lights at that night). Our host and owner, Esko really friendly, helpful, and such a nice person, and our chef, Atte was an awesome cook that cooked a super yummy Moose Meatball dinner. Definitely will return again in the future and stay for couple nights. Thank you Esko, Sari and Atte for the wonderful hospitality.
Luxury bungalows with glass walls, very warm and comfortable. Big bathroom. The position is unbeatable: right on the lake, in the forefront to Northern Lights show, perfectly visible from the shoreline. Very conveniently placed for the excursions with VisitInari.
wonderful location in front of the lake. having a glass cabin is the best to see auroras. we saw it twice directly from our bed.
very nice sauna and restaurant as well. the hotel also organizes excursions and it is a hassle free service. very easy to join.
Easy check in, location very secluded and opposite a lake, owner has prepared tons of facilities that are ready available to use including camp fires and snow sledding if one is interested. Sauna was amazing. Would visit again if travelling to Inari.
Amazing location. We could observe aurora lights from the lake Paatari nearby. The road can be a bit tricky if the weather is bad (snow storm).
The house is also beautiful. The Jacuzzi is very nice. The morning view is appeasing.
This is really a brand new hotel with all facilities new. We only stayed one night and the breakfast was generous. It has good location. The hotel is right on the side of Inari Lake and there is also a unique sauna by the lake.
The combination of modern house and igloo, which allows us to enjoy the starry night and northern lights comfortably inside the room. Close to lake, easy to hunt northern lights. Also loved the breakfast and dinner buffet.
Idyllic location overlooking Lake Inari. Fantastic restaurant for dinner and breakfast. My room was lovely and had a private sauna. Walking distance from Siida (Sami museum) and hiking trails.
Best part of the place is stay is the location. It is on the lake shore. We had a good view of northern lights. Staff is very helpful. Snow was cleared on roads and from front of outage.
Hotel Inari is a very nice place. The restaurant = breakfast area has a great view to the lake Inari. The bar and pub area is very cosy and the personal very nice and helpful.
Wonderful experience to do in Inari, it is a really atypical and magical night on the icy lake under the northern lights. Atte is a very nice host, everything was perfect
Very quite place at a lake. Calming atmosphere, idyllic for swimming, sitting outside at a fireplace in the evening and have self-made pancakes for a breakfast!
