Looking for a winter job where no two days are the same and you’re at the center of it all?

We are now looking for receptionists for the winter season 2026–2027.

Our guests arrive from around the world, and reception is where their stay begins and ends. In this role, you help ensure everything runs smoothly from arrival to departure.

What your workday looks like

Days vary, but here’s a typical rhythm:

Morning – departures and planning
Guests enjoy breakfast and check their daily activity schedules. At reception, you go through departures, arrivals, and any special arrangements.

Check-out is by 11:00, with the busiest time usually between 10:00–11:00. You’ll handle payments, departures, and talk with guests about their stay.

Midday – coordination and preparation
After check-out, there’s usually time to handle emails, booking channels, and prepare for the next arrivals.

Reception acts as the hub of the hotel:
the kitchen confirms guest numbers, the restaurant checks reservations, and housekeeping reports updates such as lost & found items.

Afternoon & evening – arrivals
Check-in starts at 15:00, and new guests arrive throughout the afternoon and evening, often via our airport transfers.

You welcome guests, guide them through their stay, and assist with any questions. The evening is a mix of new arrivals and ongoing guest service.

What you’ll be doing (in short)

• Handling check-ins and check-outs

• Customer service in person, by phone, and online

• Managing reservations and payments

• Coordinating with different departments

• Keeping the overall situation under control

We take service seriously

For us, good service is the foundation of everything.

This means:

• being clear, friendly, smiley and professional

• staying organized even when things get busy

• taking responsibility for getting things right

Reception works closely with all departments, so teamwork and communication are key.

What we expect from you

• A positive and professional attitude

• Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks

• Strong communication skills

• Fluent English (other languages are a big plus)

• Previous experience in reception or customer service is an advantage

What you get from this experience

Working in Lapland is more than just a job.

Our hotels are located in the municipality of Inari, far north of the Arctic Circle. After your workday, you’ll find space and quiet around you – with direct access to nature.

We also offer Wilderness Hotels employee benefits to support your daily life.

Staff accommodation is available if needed.
Apartments are well-equipped and shared (two people per room during winter season).

Salary and benefits

• Starting salary: 2260 €/month (14.21 €/hour) + supplements

• Final salary depends on your experience and education

• Wilderness Hotels employee benefits

Working hours bank:
You will have a working hours bank system in use. This means that your working hours may vary during the season, and extra hours worked during busier periods can be saved and taken as time off later. If any hours remain unused at the end of your employment, they will be paid out.
