Scandic Rukahovi ★★★★

"Good location"

Overwater Hut Kuusamo ★★★

Ski-Inn RukaValley ★★★★

"The hotel/apartments were great, amazing location, fully equipped apartment... The only downside was the food, we stayed half board so had breakfast in the Colorado bar, the selection was very limited and they only had one 2 slice toaster which was very frustrating. The staff were also rude and very unhelpful. Dinner was in the piste restaurant, staff were very friendly and there was a kids play area which was great. However the food selection was very poor: 2 meat options, one veg and one potato and the only drinks available were water and coffee. Each meal worked out at £26 per person per night, it was definitely not worth that when you can buy a large pizza over the road for £14! We have already booked again for next year but this time self-catering!"

Holiday Club Kuusamon Tropiikki ★★★★

"Hotel is a bit old. But staff are nice! Lot of facilities. Breakfast is just fair."

Ski-Inn RukaVillage ★★★★

"This hotel was the perfect spot to stay in Ruka! Very close to the lifts, boarding was sick! Never been that cold in my life, I’m a born and raised Texan but it sure was fun to experience it. Very comfortable room for my friends and I. Great bar and restaurant downstairs! Staff was very friendly. I did leave my goggles and would love to get them back if possible, I sent an email but haven’t heard back. Other than that, loved the stay and would definitely stay there if I ever find myself in Ruka again. "

Magical Pond Nature Igloos ★★★

"Friendly staff, contacted us on our way to ask for our time of arrival. Because it was getting late the lady fixed us soup and bread. Not a lot of space to put stuff, but that was all clearly in our description. Cosy bed and very comfortable. It’s so big you can’t find your partner at night. We could choose our breakfast in advance. All we asked was freshly made and baked. No wifi in the iglo, only in the main building. But I think if you ask for it, they can fix you something."

Hotel Royal Ruka ★★★

"Calm and friendly staff"

Hotel Rukatonttu ★★★★

"We had a family room with a bunk bed that was too small for a 15-year-old. I suspected the chambermaid was on leave herself. She only visited us once in five days, even though we had filled out the form at reception indicating we wanted room cleaning. We had to request fresh towels ourselves at reception. Breakfast was good; it had everything you'd expect. Dinner was also fine, delicious, and the service was friendly."

Ski-Inn AurinkoRinne ★★★★

"We have visited Ruka for around the past 10years and always stayed in the same apartments. As we find them comfy, warm and not far from the slopes. This year though we were put in a studio apartment away from the slopes. the bed was in the living area. Beds are right in front of the log burner. Bit disappointed as we were there for 2 weeks. The apartment didn't seem very warm when we arrived. 2 of the radiators weren't working, along with the underfloor heating. With it being late we would have missed the rep. So we decided to leave it and see if the heating came on that night. It didn't. It got to around 60° by the morning. Luckily we had an extra duvet. The sink in the bathroom leaked. We informed the rep. Maintenance came down. Fiddled with the radiators. They came on. But only for half an hour. He said the underfloor heating was working as the red light was showing on the control panel. It wasn't. That night it dropped cold again. We also found the shower head was broke. The Maintenance reported the heating was ok. The temperature had gone up. Yes, as we had the cooker on,toaster. The dryer etc. I ended up widdling the underfloor heating button. Turning it on and off and around and around. The underfloor heating kicked in. Then came the log burner. These have a knack to lighting them. With being used to these we knew how to light them. There is a button on the wall that you press, it stays on to draw smoke up the flue. Ours turned off after 10mins. So the room filled with smoke. If we lit the fire,which you do when you have a sauna as the heating goes off. We couldn't have one together. We needed to keep pressing the fire button in. Then, one night after we had just swapped to go in the sauna there was an almighty bang. Numerous swear words. I stepped out of the sauna and the full length shower door had fell off in my husband's hands. Luckily it wasn't me or a child in there. The problems went on. Maintence came out. But didnt fix the problems. After a week of complaining and asking to come home on the next flight we gave up. To move us to another apartment they wanted €1300 . The price of another week. Ive never felt so stuck in a place that doesn't feel safe. Not all the apartments are like this. But this one needs some serious attention before a bigger issue arises. If you are also looking for a ski inn place thr studio apartments aren't for you. We absolutely love Ruka and have made some lovely friends with the locals. But sadly next year we are looking at a different resort."
