    Bathroom facilities were a little on the downside due to the poor drainage and only one toilet available. Kitchen stove only allowed us to use one stove at a time, otherwise it would shut off..

    We loved the vibe and coziness of the cabin

    One minor hiccup was the hot tub, which wasn’t functional due to damage caused by previous guests. However, the host’s response was exemplary. They came to check it promptly and offered a generous refund, which covered more than a fantastic trip to the Laugarvatn Fontana hot springs for all six of us. A word of advice to future guests: please report any issues to the host immediately to avoid inconveniences for the next visitors.

    We had a wonderful stay at this property! The location was excellent and quiet, perfect for a peaceful getaway. Finding the place in the dark was a bit challenging, but the host was incredibly responsive and helpful, guiding us to the right entrance via messages. Pro tip: If using Apple Maps, be aware it might lead you down a closed path - start from Gunnarsbraut street instead! The property itself was a delight - impeccably clean, cozy, and well-equipped for self-catering. Despite the cold outside, the interior was comfortably warm. As an unexpected bonus, we were treated to a spectacular display of Northern Lights, even though the forecast had been low!

    Heating in bathroom and one of the bedrooms did not work. No medium or small sized pans to fit the stove size.

    Spacious, well designed and comfortable. Hot water is not directly geothermal (no sulfur smell 😊). Great hot tub.

    It’s a bit smaller than what you would expect, I would say at most 4 people as it only has one bathroom

    This is very clean and nice place to stay. Many attractions are nearby.

    Really no complaints. We had a few issues but we had immediate helpful responses so it was no trouble.

    The location was wonderful; beautiful hiking close to the cabin, with Bruarfoss close by. It was our favorite hike of the trip. Another highlight was Laugarvatn Fontana, also not far.

    Nothing to dislike - just be aware that the exterior bathroom door will lock automatically if the door blows shut, which is not great when you’re half naked in the hot tub and it’s -4°c outside.

    Beautifully appointed, warm, cosy and bright

    Could use another couch instead of chairs for more cozy seating.

    Very beautiful location! Has everything you would need for an extended stay. Hot tub had been broken prior to our stay and the owners got it fixed our first night after the roads being closed due to weather. Breaker also tripped and power was out. They were able to get it running for us again. They are also very responsive for any issues! Very close to a few different attractions with Bruarfoss only being a 15-20 minute walk from the house!

    Having just one bathroom for a home that sleeps nine people is just not enough. We were there with five and even then, a second bathroom would have been nice. No washer or dryer in the house. Other than the loft, the bedrooms were so small that there was no place to put a suitcase.

    Beautiful home with large porch. 20 minute walk to a nice waterfall and even less to a smaller one. Well equipped kitchen.
