We had an excellent stay in this hotel/hostel. Nature around the hotel is great and we enjoyed walking in the nearby national parks.
Room and beds were fine and the shared kitchen contained everything needed for self service.
Service from the staff was excellent

Kiitos to our amazing hosts who have been fantastic in every way! We had a beautiful spacious room with a very comfortable bed and a perfect view from the window! The dinner the hosts cooked for us was absolutely delicious and probably the freshest you can get! A truly authentic experience with beautiful memories! Would highly recommend this place for its comfort, beautiful surroundings and very nice hosts!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour de plusieurs nuits ici. Notre hôte était très accueillante, le petit déjeuner et le repas frais et copieux et la propriété a beaucoup d’atouts, c’est bien placé pour visiter les différents parcs nationaux et l’atmosphère au bord du lac au milieu des sapins nous a vraiment ressourcé
Nous espérons revenir bientôt ! Alice et Pierre

Wunderschön gelegen in der Natur, wir waren die einzigen Gäste und die beiden Gastgeber waren super freundlich und herzlich. Wir haben eine private Führung bekommen mit Kiki dem Hund. Das Zimmer ist groß und hat alles was man braucht.

Hyvä majoitus Riisitunturille haluaville. Vuodevaatteet (lähinnä tyynyt) antoi toivomisen varaa, aamiainen hyvä, palvelu ystävällistä.

Olimme Kitkanriisissä kaksi yötä ja viihdyimme erinomaisesti. Huone oli tilava ja sängyt mukavat. Majoituspaikka on lähellä Riisitunturia ja Riisitunturin kansallispuistoa, joten esimerkiksi patikoimaan tai lumikenkäilemään pääsee helposti.
Herkuttelimme myös paikan isännän valmistaman illallisen. Maistui!
Voimme lämpimästi suositella Kitkanriisiä majoittumiseen. Isäntäpariskunnalle lämmin kiitos loistavasta huolenpidosta!

Leppoisa ja viihtyisä majapaikka. Erinomainen palvelu. Aamupala maittava, samoin muu ruoka. Kiva, kun oli mahdollisuus myös omien eväiden säilytykseen ja laittamiseen.
