Hotel Jeris

Everything was good, cabins are big and comfort. It's warm and you can change temperature. In cabin we had sauna. Food is also good, and had a lot of options. The staff is very pleasant. Within the hotel have artic sauna world what is ver good to see and try.

The impact of Jeris Lakeside on its environment is not in keeping with all the clean air and sustainability claims that the company is making. Idling company cars are parked at the hotel entrance, say 2 meters from the main door, for lengthy times. Same for room maintenance in the village, also at plus C temparatures. Snowmobile sledges are abandoned across ski tracks at down hills. Hotel provides plastic sleds in hotel yard, handily at the foot of the sign prohibiting toboganing in hotel yard. There is also private property in the village. They co-finance the skiing track maintenance. A lot of maintenance is needed as tracks are used as walking paths by hotel quests. Snowshoes seem to need a prepared skiing track too, not what snowshoes are made for, one would think. Following the indicated one-way ski track signs does not apply to walkers, not a small risk for the less nimble skier like kids and the elderly meeting them when navigating down a one-way marked skiing-only track. There is always a discomfortable surprise when these issues are mentioned to hotel guests. Toujours surprise total. Immer ausserordentliche Überraschung. Valitettavasti myös niiden suomeapuhuvien, jotka eivät jaksa ja osaa hiihtää tunturissa ylä- ja alamäkeen, on käveltävä juuri niissä kohdissa, jossa hiihtäjä kaipaisi tasaista baanaa jäisen ja poljetun lumen sijaan. Maahisen majalle yksisuuntaista latua matkaavien taaperoiden on varottava muna-asennossa kiellettyyn suuntaan tulevia mestarihiihtäjiä. Guided consideration and self-guidance much needed, welcomed and appreciated. Like in the old days.

You have travelled litterally in to middle of no where and staying in a cabin. Could be lovely. Instead of feeling welcome you are not alloved to dine at hotel restaurant??? At very same establisnent... No service but almost rude behavior from staff. Never again! Lapland is wonderful this place is not. :(

This hotel is simply brilliant. It has no airs or graces cos it does need anything. The jerisranta cabins are lovely and plenty of room with a changing entrance clothes dryer lounge / kitchet. You even have your own little sauna. The facilities at the hotel are just what you need unless you want down hill skiing. Snowshoes to cross country skiing to snowmobiles. We came with Regency travel and bought a ultimate Lapland experience which had everything we wanted. The hotel is full board and the food is lovely and plentiful. All the staff are lovely and friendly nothing is too much. I would defiantly recommend it no questions. If you are looking for night life and parties maybe go else where. If you are looking for price and quite and a real slice of Finland this is the place. At night you can venture out on to the lake and hope to see the north lights. The thermal clothes they give you are excellent quality and really do the job over your own warm clothes. ( boots, all in one, socks and balaclava, mittens with wool liners). They also do a good line in real ales. Negatives really only that drink is pricey, but that is Finland all over, we brought some with us to have in the cabin and no real lounge area in the hotel but there is a bar and you can us the restaurant area which over looks the lake. Also recommend you use the sauna world which is in the hotel grounds great place to watch the sunsets, get a massage and enjoy the 4 types of sauna.
