| No WIFI! Arrive after 1700 as there is a lockout. 24 hour access with an access code once you check in. | ||

| Staff was just horrible! Better just take a tent and sleep in the wild! More value for money that way as well. Staff should learn some Basic customer service Manners!
Suomalaiset: älkää menkö tähä rotaloukkuu. Ihan psk sijanti, sisään pääsee vast viide jälkee?!? Ja henkilökunta tosi epämiellyttävä! Parempi ottaa teltta tai vuokrata pikku mökki, on viel yli puolet halvempaa! Ja mukavampaa! | ||
