    Amazing property in a fantastic landscape. The one issue we had was the temperature of the building we couldn’t change so it was very warm

    The property was amazing and their views from the windows where spectacular. Would be nice to see some more people in the village but hopefully it will happen one day soon.

    We like the uniqueness about this property. The property is amazing, spacious and very warm. Lovely to sit in the armchair watching the snow falling outside.

    Perfect place once they reopen the town

    This is only a timing issue but because we stayed there not long after the roads were reopened after the most recent lava flow, Grindavík was like a ghost town because so many are still unable to come back to their houses. Nothing was open, and we had to go into Keflavik to even get food. This would have been good to know beforehand so we could’ve picked something up before checking in. Luckily we had a car but if we’d gotten a taxi, we would have to get another one just to get food. Once the town is reopen fully, this would be the most amazing place we stayed on a month in Scandinavia and Iceland

    This was an amazing, unique stay.

    A cozy stay with Stunning Views and a Great Host but a Few Minor Challenges with Storing Large Luggage and Stairs

    We had a great stay overall. The third floor (kitchen and living room) is spacious, cozy, and offers stunning panoramic views. We even saw the Aurora from there, which was a highlight. However, the downstairs area felt a bit small, especially for storing our six large pieces of luggage. The narrow, steep stairs made it difficult to carry them up to the bedrooms, so we had to leave everything downstairs. The property has two bedrooms—one downstairs and one on the second floor—and two toilets (one downstairs and one in the upstairs bedroom), which was convenient for our group. All the rooms are clean. The host was fantastic—responsive, and very supportive. The location is ideal, with easy access to the Blue Lagoon. Papa's restaurant, highly recommended by the host, was excellent; we loved the cod and pizza.

    Nice house. However, inconvenient stairs and shower didn’t work

    It had only one shower and it was broken, so we couldn’t use it. We were told only when we arrived, which was unfortunate, as we had a long trip and we couldn’t use the shower. The living room and kitchen were in the third floor, only accessible by stairs, which is inconvenient if you have kids or elderly people in the group. Not good value for money. It was the more expensive stay in our trip to Iceland and not the best.

    Close to Blue Lagoon, which was our plan for the night we stayed here. Beautiful views from the house. Clean and it had all the facilities/amenities needed. Host was waiting for us near the airport to take us to the house.

    cleaning wasnt bad but might be improved (e.g. the kitchen), the coffe machine wasnt working or we didnt find the way to make it work, in that case a 2 lines instructions for guests might be helpfull, 3rd and last 2-3 windows had glasses not broken but chipped for some centimeters or half a meter, this might be related to stones or heavy wind debris. not a functional problem of course, but for the average price per night this kind of basic things must be fixed

    It was very warm and we had to open windows which is not a complaint it just goes against the grain. I'd loved to have had a thermostat to turn the heating down but I appreciate these are not common in Iceland.

    Loved the open plan top floor and the ever-changing views.

    Will be great when the town reopens. Of course it’s understandable that this isn’t the case right now. Would suggest shopping in Keflavík or Selfoss depending on which way you travel before arriving but even if you don’t Keflavík is only 30 minutes away.

    Outstanding property - has everything you need with fantastic views.

    the stairs were narrow and steep and had no handrail. this combined with the fact that you had to go up and down because of the layout made it an exhausting place to stay. the lighting in the bathrooms was not good, no counter space. no place to sit to take off / put on shoes in the entry hall. getting charged a 250 euro cash early check in fee when the house wasn’t even rented the day before seems unreasonable.

    the views were lovely and the top floor living space was spacious and nice

    steep stairs, so fair warning for kiddos. ours (4 and 6) were fine but I did have to remind them to slow down a few times. a few glasses that are a bit more stable / not glass would be nice!

    extraordinary rental; the view is incredible, and the facilities are unique and well done.

    The rooms were not well ventilated and it was overly hot to sleep. There was a small window which we tried to open but it was raining and windy. The second bedroom was too small and did not have bedside tables or lights; data/wifi didn't work in the bedroom.

    Lovely looking apartment and unique building; great seating area and well stocked kitchen for utensils
