we stayed only a weekend in Hotels Korpikartano but it was wonderfull. As others have said , it is a remote place in the middle of nowhere, but if you go for the northern light: it is THE place to be. The staff is great, they help you with what ever you want, you just indulge in a full program... More

This was part of a two centre trip to visit the northern Finland and hopefully see the Northern Lights. We were not disappointed by either the Hotel or the Lights! Timo and Anna are very friendly and try to help you whatever it is you want to do. We tried Nordic skiing, the Snow mobile Husky driving and the Reindeer... More

If you want to get away from it all, the Korpikartano is the place to go. In a most scenic setting on lake Menesjärvi (I hope I got it right), you truly are in the middle of nowhere - wonderful! But still, if you want some action, you can go skiing, do the husky sledge, or go snow shoeing. And... More

We stayed here at the end of February 2012 as part of a trip organised by Aurora Zone to look for the Northern Lights. The hotel is, as others have commented, an old school sitting on the shore of a lake in the middle of nowhere, owned and run by husband and wife team Timo and Anna. The location, when... More

We stayed at the Hotelli Korpikartano in late February 2012 on a trip organised by Activities Abroad; the idea was to see the Northern Lights. Our small group was collected from Ivalo Airport by Timo, the avuncular host. Upon arrival we were introduced to Anne, Timo’s wife; as others suggest, these two are the key to the success of the...

The owners and staff were wonderful and made you feel at home the entire time. There was personal service throughout our stay at Korpikartano. In fact we felt like we got to know the staff really well. They organised all the activities that we wanted to do and made sure that the group sizes were small enough for a great... More

I travelled here in dec 2011 together with my son (4 years), my cousin and her two kids (5 & 8 years old).We stayed in two rooms with kitchenettes so we had lots of space. The rooms were very clean and everything in good condition, the bathrooms are small but ok and we slept really well (and we were able... More

This hotel is built in front of the Lemmenjoki lake, a beautiful location indeed, very quiet and charming. The wooden building looks like new, with clean nice rooms, even if small. Unfortunately, like many hotels in Finland, you can't open the window... there is an estractor fan of course. Bathroom is small. The restaurant service is basic: you have no... More

The rooms are very cosy and clean. Food and atmosphere are unsurpassed. The staff were nice and helpful at all times. Would stay here again!
