Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The was a traditional fishing village that has been turned into a museum. When you enter there are information sheets in a variety of languages (including English, German, and Russian - maybe more) that give a brief overview of each building you can enter. There are a variety of farm, school room and housing buildings. The museums buildings are in an area in a neighborhood that also has locals current homes, so be sure you follow the directions and map. Very nice collection of Island embroidery and costumes in one building with examples from several different islands showing both the different embroidery designs and woven patterns for the clothing too.

A walk in the village with several stops to see things and to eat other things was a very relaxing and refreshing experience in the beautiful and tranquill island of Muhu. Highly recommended. I'd definitely return to see more nooks and nice views.

A perfect place to visit if you have interest to see how people have lived in small villages for hundreds of years. Extra value (not sure if for those who have no touch with these books) comes from the exhibition of Juhan Smuul - a famous Estonian writer lived and worked there. The exhibition was very interesting (but not for kids).
P.S. Most of houses in the village are still in use thus try not to get lost in somebody's garden and disturb their lunch etc - this is not a part of the exhibition :)

If you happen to travel to Kuressaare, you should definitely stop at this village in Koguva (on Muhu Island) on your way there.
Located quite far from other village, this old village still hosts several inhabitants and you can actually only visit part of the village including the school and the house of a local artist. The museum is well made and you can actually see the culture, tradition and living condition in such a lovely village.
Do not miss also the harbour and the windmill.
Visiting time: 45min - 1h

Whst a great place, beautifully looked after and if you get Milies (spelling wrong sorry) you will have a better vidit as he is so entertaining and a great host. Lots of insight into the old life and of the writerJohann Smuul including his books.

The well kept houses vividly tell the visitor how it was to live in harsh rural conditions. The embroidery museum is simply a must.

If you are planning to visit Muhu and Saaremaa please add Koguva Village to your list. You would really enjoy the local nature, culture and you may have a general overview about life style in locality during last few centuries and important historical moments. I would recommend to visit this village to all my friends who travelling to Estonia.

Visited as part of tour. This is fascinating museum which is partly a village frozen in time. Many fascinating buildings such as house, barns, summer kitchen. Sheep sauna! Fishing port and school rooms. Well furnished and great displays including local clothing and books by local author Juhan Smuul. There is gift shop and cafe. Staff super friendly and spoke English. Also information panels in English.

Is it possible to make this a day trip from Tallinn or do I need to make lodging arrangements? What is the best option for transportation without a car?
