Hotel «Havu Arctic Holidays»

The place is good. The distance from Levi is not a big deal if you’re traveling by car. The owner seemed pretty friendly until she noticed we were a same sex couple. Unfortunately we had issues with the heater. It wasn’t working the second night. It was in the middle of the night so, in my failed intend to avoid bothering the owner, I lighted up a candle that was in the middle of the table next to a lighter and found out it was a little bit old and wouldn’t work, so my second attempt was the chimney. I really did my best to keep everything clean, without a trace of ash and even washed my hands at least every 10 minutes. At the end everything was okay. The third morning before breakfast, we had no energy and there was no problem. We patiently waited until 2 hours later to get the energy back. I always do my best to keep everything clean and done before leaving. I even asked the owner about taking out the garbage. But soon after we left, I received a long complain from the owner saying I tried to burn her cabin by lighting up a battery candle (who would even know?), that I left everything worthless and all the walls dirty. I’ve never ever read something that horrible as a review. Immediately after I contacted her to kindly say sorry, and that I didn’t even notice the “damage” she wrote. I also begged her to send an invoice with the damages to do something about it. She didn’t. At this point I just feel I had to take pictures of every corner of the cabin before I left but most of all, I can’t stop thinking about how the first impression could have changed everything about my stay. Anyway, it’s sad to remember such a beautiful trip with that unfortunate experience. A huge lesson about not leaving without evidence of every place I stay.
