Luxury Lodge L7 - Äkäslompolo

After weeks of correspondence with the hotel, I arrived to find that the property is closed and I'm being put up at the hotel's 3 star affiliate. The hotel seems to use the same reservation email address for both L7 and its affiliates, and simply decided to assume I wanted to book the affiliate hotel without asking. Their practices are intentionally misleading and a discussion with the owner of both properties devolved into a shouting match during which he refused to take responsibility for any customer service. Stay away.

After weeks of correspondence with L7 in advance of my trip, I arrived today only to find that the property is closed and I have been transferred to the hotel's 3 star affiliate. This was an absolute bait and switch, and I now find myself scrambling for accommodation. Stay away.

We stayed at L7 in late February/early March. We went there to cross country ski in a uncrowded place and relax in a well serviced hotel. This is exactly what we got. It is possible to ski from the hotel and join a network of ski trails, which have plenty of cafes to make a stop for refuelling. The hotel also has facilities for waxing and preparing skis. If skiing is not your style, then the hotel can provide snowshoes to try out, or arrange husky or snowmobile safaris. ||The hotel is very quiet as it is surrounded by forest on three sides, with a lake at the back of the building. There are seven bedrooms, all with ensuite, and they face either the forest or the lake to give a relaxing atmosphere. The bedrooms are comfortable with plenty of storage space. All the furniture is from Finnish design houses which emphasises the Nordic ambience.||The architecture of L7 is striking , being made of large logs throughout the building. The corridor linking the rooms is spectacular, as it has a double height of the giant logs. ||As it is a Finnish hotel, of course there is a spacious sauna to revive guests after their activities. There is also a jacuzzi on the (sheltered) terrace. ||The food is influenced by ingredients foraged in the forest and is exceptional. Every evening the menu is prepared by the chef and the anticipation of what we were going to have was one of the high spots of the day. Breakfast was served from a buffet with hot dishes as well as the usual cereals, fruit, toast ,etc. If we stayed for lunch, it was again a hot meal such as lasagne or soup.||The service was excellent and the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.||Since L7 is away from streetlights and other buildings, it is a good place to see the Northern Lights. While we were there, we saw the best display of them that we had ever experienced. The whole sky was covered by the swirling colours and it lasted for several hours. This was a fitting end to a wonderful stay in Lapland. ||
