    A cost and beautifully situated cottage. We were comfortable and the self catering facilities were very good. Our hosts were very welcoming and looked after us very well. It was a good base for exploring the west of Iceland.

    Nothing.

    Very nice and peaceful place about 15 minutes outside Borgarnes. Beautiful scenery, and very peaceful. Only one other apartment, about 50m away, so no noise from neighbours. Very nice deck around the chalet, with fantastic views. Very well appointed, with everything that one may need in the kitchen. Good heating. Very well situated for day visits to Sneafellness peninsula and Husavik area. Road to Borgarnes is quiet and quick, with a number of restaurants in the town. Everything was very clean, and no issues with check-in, or communication with the host.

    An information pack would save the host having to answer frequently asked questions.

    Super comfortable bed, the little extras such as plenty of hooks in bathroom, shoehorn, useful items in kitchen, warm plus able to control heat level (we like the bedroom cool and many places are too hot but we could get all the rooms just right.) Good directions. Good WiFi. Loved not having a TV! Beautiful views ! Quick responses to questions. Handy for getting to and around the peninsula. Bonus supermarket was an easy drive.

    Wonderfully secluded cottage in the middle of the countryside. Well situated for trips to Snaefellsnes. Very friendly and nice hosts living on with their farm next door. Possibility to book a guided horse ride with one of their icelandic horses, which was a magical experience! The cottage was well equipped, clean and absolutely cozy. We really enjoyed our stay here and can fully recommend!

    The house was exceptionally tidy and clean. If you are looking to witness the aurora borealis and the starry sky, this is the perfect choice. We are also grateful to have met such a wonderful owner who took us to see his own Icelandic horses and sheep, passionately introduced us to local specialties, and provided us with useful travel information. If you choose to stay in this house, be sure to contact the landlord to arrange a horseback riding tour and experience a different side of Iceland. The facilities in the house were very complete and modern. Thank you to the host for hosting us.

    Locate this property in the daylight. Not in the dark. Follow exact instructions of owner and use the GPS system they tell you to use. How we actually ended up getting here in the night I'm not exactly sure.

    We loved our stay. What a beautiful little home. So quaint and they really thought of everyting. Perfect for a party of 2. Would work for a small family as well.

    Thee can be lots of midges, they woke us up at night by stinging us. Keep the windows closed as much as possible. Insect screens for the windows would be nice.

    Comfortable, nicely decorated little house, comfi beds, beautiful location, nice host.

    There are a gazillion flies and even more biting midges. At the end of my stay I was fully covered in bug bites, something that didn’t happen anywhere else on my trip in Iceland. If you stay here, come equipped with insect repellent!

    Remote location, very beautiful and peaceful. The cabin is comfortable and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The self check-in functioned smoothly.
