Guesthouse Haltinmaa

Good space, clean. You have everything you need and good location.

Air ventilation in all rooms could be better.

Host didn't mention about the option to check and then purchase Blanket. But forcibly asked to take blankets in the Summer, Blanket costs were very high.

Excellent

Unfortunately, the accommodation did not quite meet our expectations. The biggest issue was that it looked noticeably different from the photos online. In reality, the rooms felt much darker, smaller and less inviting than shown in the pictures. The sauna and bathroom were also very small, and the toilet area in particular felt quite cramped. Cleanliness was generally okay, but overall the accommodation felt rather basic. One thing to keep in mind when booking cottages in Finland is that the final price can be quite a bit higher than it first appears. Bed linen is often charged separately, and final cleaning usually costs around €40–50 extra. Otherwise, guests are expected to clean quite thoroughly themselves before leaving, including vacuuming and cleaning the toilet. This seems to be quite common in Finland, but it is worth calculating these extras into the price from the beginning. In the end, a slightly more expensive villa where bed linen and cleaning are already included can sometimes cost almost the same. There were also a few small inconveniences, for example the Wi-Fi password provided was incorrect, so we had to go to reception to sort this out. When we mentioned at reception that the accommodation looked quite different from the photos, the response was simply that differences can occur. For us, however, this was the main disappointment. Overall, the stay was okay, but we would have appreciated a more realistic presentation of the accommodation online.
