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!

Hieno paikka lähellä Riisitunturia. Luonnon keskellä, hiljaista ja rauhallista. Paljon tilaa. Hyvät mahdollisuudet erilaisiin aktiviteetteihin. Ystävällinen palvelu. Myös lähellä sijaitsevilta muilta yrittäjiltä löytyy palveluita. Suosittelen

Kiva majoitus

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

Kitkan helmi

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!

Majapaikka Riisitunturin kupeessa

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