The rooms are spacious and clean. There is no cleaning during the stay. Peaceful and quiet room (to the courtyard). My request for an earlier room and a late check out was successful, thank you, it added a lot of value to my weekend vacation. Location in the middle of the village.

Right close to the lifts, the rooms were really comfortable and well equipped. There is a paid parking right below the resort, so you can drop the car and take the lift to your room, very handy with the cold temperatures.

The cottage was very spacious, enough to accommodate 6 people. The kitchen had all the needed utilities. The fireplace in the living-room is very easy to use and creates an amazing atmosphere. The sauna is also very easy to use.
Location is really nice, on the bank of the lake and easily accessible. The village is 10-15' walk away in winter, as you can walk across the frozen lake, and the surroundings are really nice for longer walks. WiFi was working really well, even if there were more than 10 devices permanently connected, and

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.
Villa Tundra is a very nice property, decorated with excellent taste and very conveniently located in an area of villas, close to the ski and cross-country ski trails. The hosts were very nice and readily available when needed anything and advice on the area - communication was smooth and friendly. The villa is very nice, the kitchen is very well equipped, and the heating was working very well even if operating during the coldest time in decades in Ruka. A very nice, comfy and warm place for winter holidays.
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 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!
The property is close to Ruka Valley (4 min drive), but in the forest with a few neighbours, so very quiet. The house is for up to 10 people. We were just 4 people, so enough space for everyone. It was good equipped with all the kitchen utensils, fridge freezer, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, microwave, cooker and coffee machine. Plenty of cups, plates, pans and pots.
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!
Excellent situated in the Village with all that you need within walking distance. The shop was in the first floor.
Beautiful conditions with Ski tracks and downhill slopes.
One of the better Ski sites in Europe.
Nice flat with everything you need for your own household.
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..
The apartment is perfectly equipped with everything you need - nothing was missing for a skiing holiday, including dryer. The hotel has an excellent location, close to the lift, all necessary amenities are nearby - ski storage, shop, restaurant
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.
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.
Fantastic location just a 20 min walk into Ruka village! Food was great on the evening although the breakfast could have been better. The staff were very helpful and friendly too
The location of this property is brilliant as it’s located directly in front of the slopes and ski lifts. Also the restaurants in Ruka Village are just around the corner.
Nice, cosy traditional Finnish house. Very close to Ruka Village and also Ski lifts. Clean and spacious with all basic amenities. Parking space in front of the house.
Breakfast was good and fresh! Location is quiet and far away from shops and restaurants. Igloo felt really private, far more better than regular hotel room.
