Beautiful place, great common area both inside and outside. We had late check in and it worked great. Cafe is delicious, loved the sauna and the apartment room was comfortable and had outdoor space as well.

Jean-Marc : Take the time to visit : a need !

Very nice stay and lovely people. We had the chance to discover Furu Hostel and there is place for everyone : from shared kitchen exchanging experiences in foreign languages to nice dinner enjoying home made food after a wonderful sauna with view lake and lake swim…. Rosa sunsets with the lake….I hope we could come back.
Next time maybe

Decent and clean apartment but it was different to the one in the photos that we booked. It was clean. Only annoying bit was the bathroom drain was blocked and there was no dish soap. Overall, great location to see the northern lights and cute surroundings with a lake at 100m.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Liked the lakeside location and coziness. Stayed in one of the double bedrooms 3 nights. Everything was good but there are signs letting you know of quiet times due to noise carrying throughout the building very easily. Unfortunately, not everyone adhered to the quiet times and I was woken up multiple times throughout my stay with people moving around, talking, and slamming doors. Something to consider if you’re a light sleeper.

Hyvä ja halpa hostelli

Oli todella sympaattinen paikka, todella kodin omainen ja maanläheinen. Ihan pehmeät sängyt. Seinät ohuet, joten muiden äänet kuuluvat. Pieni, mutta siisti yhteiskeittiö.
