Overall, Mansikkaharju Holiday Camp combines a prime location with serene, picturesque surroundings, offering a top-notch experience for visitors.

Breakfast
Mansikkaharju Holiday Camp provides a breakfast experience that has garnered mixed reviews from guests. While some guests found the breakfast to be a good value for its price and appreciated the basic offerings such as porridge with raspberry compote, others felt that the selection was limited and not varied enough. The convenience of having breakfast in the main building was noted positively, although the need for a breakfast ticket and the charge for an extra breakfast option were points of contention. Many guests also highlighted that breakfast was not included in the price of the cottage and some had to make their own breakfast, which added a homemade touch but was less convenient. Overall, the breakfast was seen as light and satisfactory by some but disappointing and sparse by others, particularly given its cost.

Rooms
Mansikkaharju Holiday Camp offers a mix of accommodations ranging from quaint cottages to unique igloo cabins and wilderness huts. The setting is undeniably picturesque with stunning lake views, a tranquil atmosphere and well-maintained communal areas, including clean toilets and shower facilities. The cottages and igloos provide essential amenities such as well-equipped kitchens, compact but functional spaces and personal saunas, which many guests found delightful for relaxing stays.

The igloo cottages, in particular, are highlighted for their spaciousness and comfort, complete with glass roofs to enjoy the starry night sky. These cottages are designed to accommodate both couples and families (including pets), offering a cozy and intimate experience by the lake. Guests appreciated the thoughtful layout, charming interior design and the provision of canoes and bikes as a part of the stay.

Despite the scenic beauty and functional amenities, there are notable concerns about cleanliness and maintenance. Many guests mentioned that some cottages were not professionally cleaned with issues such as musty smells, pet hairs and worn-out furnishings. Specific complaints included old and shabby bedding, creaky chairs and uncomfortable mattresses. The air conditioning units often failed and some cottages suffered from dampness and a lack of proper cleaning.

There were minor inconveniences such as low ceilings and outdated decor in some cabins, which could detract from the overall comfort. Some guests experienced issues with small bathroom and shower spaces, broken kitchen appliances and inadequate heating during colder nights.

In summary, Mansikkaharju Holiday Camp provides a variety of accommodation options with charming views and essential amenities for a relaxing retreat. However, improvements in cleanliness and maintenance are necessary to enhance the guest experience fully.

Beds
Mansikkaharju Holiday Camp presents a mixed bag when it comes to bedding. On the positive side, several guests found the beds to be comfortable with some describing them as comfy and perfect for a good night’s sleep. However, there appears to be a significant number of issues reported regarding the condition and cleanliness of the mattresses, pillows and bedding in general. Many reviews mention old, worn-out mattresses and pillows that are in poor condition or simply uncomfortable with some even describing them as dirty or stained. Sofa bed mattresses, in particular, received negative feedback for being too hard or not meant for sleeping. The bedding often felt insufficient, either too thin for the cold temperatures or simply outdated and in need of renewal. Despite the comfortable beds noted by some, the consensus suggests that the overall quality and upkeep of the bedding leaves much to be desired with numerous calls for updating and better maintenance.

Cleanliness
'Mansikkaharju Holiday Camp' is frequently praised for its cleanliness, especially in communal areas such as showers, toilets and kitchens. Many reviewers mention the cleanliness and good maintenance of the shared facilities, describing them as clean, tidy and well-maintained. The general state of the cabins, however, is more varied. Some guests note that the cabins and cottages are clean, neat and cozy with clean bedding and basic cleanliness assured in many cases.

However, several reviews highlight issues with dust, untidy surfaces and poorly cleaned cabins. Some specific problems mentioned include mold in shower cabins, spider webs and leftover trash from previous guests. Ventilation and air quality inside the cottages, particularly in older units, could also use improvement. There were complaints about dirty linens, dusty rooms and overall messiness in several units.

Despite these mixed reviews on individual cottages, the outdoor areas and facilities like the beach and maintenance buildings receive commendations for being clean and peaceful. Moreover, the friendly staff and numerous free activities add to the overall positive experience. For future stays, prospective guests might appreciate the generally clean common areas and be prepared for variability in cabin cleanliness.

Wi-Fi

Given the camp's emphasis on disconnecting from the digital world, this may not be a significant issue for everyone, but it's an important consideration for those who need reliable internet access.

Parking
