Real nice cabbin, completely decorated with wood, raindeer materials, etc. The bathrooms/toilet/drinking water are in the main building and are really clean, also nicely decorated. There is a kitchen in the cabins, but you need to fill a bucket of water in the main building and bring this to your cabbin, since there is no water in the cabbin. Bring anti-mosquito spray since the cabbins are in the woods. Also the husky dogs (about 30) can make a lot of noise, but all taken into account a real nice experience.

The value for money I rated as poor because there were no dormitory beds available and I had to pay for a 3/4 bed cabin. If I had 2 friends with me it would have been good value for money.
