Karuna Guesthouse

Karuna Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent
"I loved this location and the property itself. It had everything I needed to be comfortable. There were no staff present, but the self check in was very easy and they were responsive by message when I had a question. The reviews mentioned it being a good place to see the northern lights (on a clear night, of course) and they were right! The hot tub and sauna are small, but wonderful. During my stay, there were just two other rooms booked and I was able to use both amenities solo. The kitchen was well equipped for me to make dinner and store my food in the fridge. The common space was beautiful with big windows to look out of. I didn't use the tv, but they had a lot of channels accessible. The only thing I would ask for next time is an extra towel or two so you don't have to use your towel for the shower to dry off from the hot tub."
