Great place in winter wonderland. While the hill is not particularly high, the ski is great and geared mostly towards beginner and intermediate skiers. Great cross-country skiing as well.
Ruka village is lively and with good selection of bars and restaurants.

Compact and convenient for most things.
Compact and convenient for most things. Skiiers used to Alpine ski resorts will find it small but it has good snow and being amongst trees is lovely. Bear in mind that beginners wanting the easiest slopes should be at the Valley side not the Village side or else you'll need to bus/gondola across.

I was in the summer.... which is still not too warm... so take that in to consideration.
There are TONS of mosquitoes, you wouldn't believe, but still the area is beautiful and the things to is basically kayaking, hiking or just relaxing. you must have a car to get around and it's better to purchase food and cook for yourself where you stay.

Ruka is a great family resort.
Ruka is a great family resort. A winter paradise with cross country skiing and downhill skiing available. There is also a ski school. I recommend staying in Ruka village side rather than Ruka valley side.
Ice slide onto small frozen lake was super popular with my kids as well as watching the ski jumping.
Highly recommend the ski school and Lammintupa for reindeer and husky adventures.

Ruka is a very friendly and family oriented place but my son...
Ruka is a very friendly and family oriented place but my son and his friends enjoyed the night- life at Ruka village too. Skiing is for those who enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere as this place doesn’t have many if any for the more experienced ones. We did not have to queue at the lifts. Nevertheless it is very popular with couples and families alike . There are plenty of places to eat in , or use the take-away services too. We would definitely go back next year. Loved it!

Beautiful place, fantastic food in the restuarants in Ruka...
Beautiful place, fantastic food in the restuarants in Ruka Village. Must try Stefans Steakhouse. Do book with Ruka Adventures for experiences, they are exciting, genuine and very helpful. The Cabin is cosy and warm and an ideal place to relax. Would highly recommend to all.
Located next to both downhill and cross-country skiing, can start the activity straight from the property. Also the village is reachable by an uphill walk from the hotel. The room was clean and had a drying cabinet. Takeaway breakfast was great. For dinner it was possible to order food delivered to your room. A great example of how to handle the covid situation well and I am sure this will pay off with returning customers in the future.
The location is absolutely gorgeous and the cabins, although tiny, are absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed our time by the bonfire and watched northern lights from here. They even have snow shoes available to go hike some of the trails around. Beautiful stay which is close to the ski town of Ruka which has plenty of food options. It was nice that the breakfast is included in the morning. Ruka Pizza was amazing gormet pizza we ate.
Beautiful hotel right by the lake. Great views from the restaurant/breakfast room. Nice fireplace that gives a great ambiance to the room. Electric Sauna was good too. The rooms are equipped with an electrical clothes dryer which is very thoughtful and was already useful in the fall, so I can only imagine how useful it will be in winter! The location is great as well, just a short walk from Ruka village.
The location is perfect as it is in the Ruka village itself close to all amenities, shops and restaurants. The apartment was spacious and clean, a balcony with a view of the ski and the village plus a sauna inside the bathroom which was really nice extra. It was warm and cosy inside the apartment, our family had an overall comfortable stay. And it’s very good value for money as well. Would recommend!
The house was modern, new and good size. The kitchen was well equipped- we had everything what we needed. The most, we liked the location - in the middle of the forest - perfect for the skiing holiday and Christmas celebration. The cross country skiing tracks started close to the house; and the Ruka alpine skiing centre was very close as well. Quiet and beautiful place - perfect for winter holiday!
If you are sick of cookie cutter business hotels where you have to pay for everything, this homely hotel offers authentic hospitality that you might expect from a holiday to Lapland. Lovely food fired sauna included. Didn't mind not having a bathroom and shower in the room at all as there was a sink. Recommended for good value for money and some character!
We were doing Karhunkierros trail, we finished a day before planned so we have not a booked room in Ruka and the other hotel we had for the next night could not offer us a solution. The Scandic Rukahivi staff were extremely nice, the room was great and the breakfast was amazing. If we come back to Ruka, it will be here.
It is unfair for this type of accommodation to be rated on a Booking.com review. Yes, the room is very small. But the whole experience is far beyond a typical hotel. The scenery, the view from the room, the stars, the northern lights, the tranquility. Just magical..
Location is great! 3 minutes drive from Ruka's center. Kitchen was well equipped, showers were great and so was the fireplace with lots of ready wood in the storage. There's also a smart big screen TV and a big dining table. plenty of space.
Luxury apartment with very quiet environment and great cenery. Only 1.2 km from Ruka village, our children walked that distance with snowboards. We travel to Ruka > 8 times/ year and I can say this was the best apartment so far.
Cabin was spotless
Everything we needed was available
Sauna was great
Beds comfy
Good location - less than 10 minute drive to Ruka village and 15 to Ruka Valley.
Instructions were clear.
Drying cabinet was great.
I have stayed in Rukan Salonki cottages before and have always liked it. It is best choice for bigger groups because big cottages have 6 bedrooms each and 14 people can fit comfortably
Nice location by the lake, 15min to Ruka east slopes.
The place is cozy. The dryer is convenient for drying gloves and ski clothes.
The kitchen is compact but very well equipped.
The villa we booked is spacious and cozy. We love everything. The village itself is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We hope we could stay longer.
