Reviews
The guesthouse is located in the middle of nowhere, making it a perfect spot to admire the Northern Lights. We did not expect to see them, so it was an unforgettable surprise. The service and food were excellent, and breakfast was satisfactory. The only downside was that the basin in the room was quite small, as it seemed more suitable for a restroom.
Overall, this guesthouse is highly recommended.
