The hotel was very beautiful and elaborate. Exceptional stay, would definitely recommend. Family owned hotel and the owners went out of the way to help us in any way possible. Loved everything about the stay.

Beds, view from the room, service, dinner...all five star and more. Pools in the outdoor spa area, when temperature hit -20 were my favorite. Finally, views from saunas to calm forest covered by white snow are to die for.

Gáldu Hotel and Spa is an idyllic spot for a truly relaxing getaway. The food was incredible, and although the location is slightly remote, it hardly matters when the hotel’s facilities are of such a high standard.
Breakfast was next level — a beautifully presented buffet with plenty of choice, alongside freshly prepared hot options. The spa was also a fantastic experience, clearly well maintained and thoughtfully managed.
What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and attentive, and it’s clear the owners have put a great deal of care and thought into every detail of the hotel.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Uusi hotelli rauhallisella sijainnilla kuitenkin vain pienen matkan päässä kylän palveluista. Palveluhenkinen isäntäväki ja aamiaisella keittiön paitotuoreita munakkaita tai pannukakkuja. Ehdottomasti vierailun arvoinen rentoutumispaikka aivan ulkoilureittien vieressä.
