I made a last-minute reservation for their Iisakki Guest house, for which I needed a common accommodation (a baby crib; my son cannot sleep safely in an adult bed) that has never been a problem for me in other lodgings. I called to cancel the next day immediately after I read an email from the guest house that they were unable to meet my needs and was told I would have no issue canceling on booking.com.

Read moreWe stayed at Iisakki village in januari 2023. Group of 14. The place the staff prepared for us was villa Huure. Two small cabins with fireplace and showers and a lovely sauna.

A few meters away we had our point of meeting and from there we did a lot of the activities during the day. Good place to be. Only 10 min away from Ruka and 20 min from...
