Reviews of Glass House with Private River & 360° Views

This was hands down our favorite place we stayed in Iceland. We were there at the beginning of our trip, and measured everything else up against this stay. The hosts, Daniel and Samantha were really responsive to all of our questions (including how to turn on the heaters) and we got a good sense of their interests from the decor, which was fun. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the views out the window were indescribably beautiful. Out of one window, the sea. Out of another, mountains, a little river and a waterfall. Out the back, volcano and glacier. I would come back to Iceland just to stay here again. :) We decided to just walk from the house to do the Arnarstapi to Hellnar hike along the sea instead of dealing with the car, and that worked out well. A few basic but cute restaurants just 2 minutes away were helpful for dinner as well, all within sight of Snaefellsnes' own guardian troll statue.

Incredible location and views. Spacious and very comfortable Definitely worth booking!

It was a bit stuffy in there so had to open up doors which allowed flies to come in

You cannot beat the location of this home and the views are incredible. The village has beautiful hikes that you can do, and the property is just a short walk to the cliffs overlooking the beach. The beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is well supplied if you want to cook. We sure hated to leave this house and would Iove to come back and stay here again.

The views are spectacular. Well stocked kitchen. 2 min walk to the views of the coast line.

They could use a few deck chairs.

An incredible find! The house is beautiful inside and set in a stunning location—glacier on one side, the sea on the other. Perfect location for seeing the peninsula. Would be thrilled to stay there again.

Beautiful location, very cool property and house. Convenient to national park and amazing outdoor activities.

Bedrooms and bathrooms are “efficient” with fantastic and lovely common living spaces.

Absolutely fantastic views and a really lovely house with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Hosts were also responsive and helpful.

Location. Facilities. Very homely.

Stunning location and views, clean and comfortable. Lovely deck to watch the lights from and spacious living area.

House and location superb.

Some additional lights in the living room.

The location was amazing and the views were second to none. Super close proximity to the glacier and right on the coast line.

Great location

A very cosy cabin in a beautiful location, with lots of personal touches. The hosts were extremely helpful in responding to queries before our stay.

Beautiful house and garden in a marvellous setting with incredible views. Clean, spacious and equipped with all you need. The host did our laundry and was very helpful. We will come back!

Daniel very kind and available. Very warm and cosy house with a tremendous view on beach and glacier.

Attractive and well equipped living space. Location and views were great. Private. Comfortable accommodation although the bedrooms are small and somewhat cramped.

The most incredible location in one of the most beautiful, peaceful, quiet places on earth. The stiff dreams are made of.

Kitchen was well stocked with equipment and supplies that would be annoying to buy for a trip, like olive oil and spices. There was a drip coffee pot and coffee as well. The views were great and the patio had a nice place to sit with morning coffee. Couches were cozy enough that I almost fell asleep on them. Guestbook also had great suggestions and hosts were extremely responsive when we had questions. It was So Close to all the hiking too!

It does take a bit to find, but just keep driving on the road.

gorgeous cabin, well equipped kitchen, amazing view and hikes around the house.

everything was great!

Arrived at house and the supplied code of 0841 did not work on either front or back door lock box. Their contact number went straight to voice mail so we were stranded with no place to stay the night with two child. Tried phoning several times throughout the evening and always to voice mail. Ended up having to book arnarstapi hotel for the night which luckily had a family room available. Returned to the house at 10pm Iceland time and tried the 0841 pin again several times and in various ways, it just didn't work at all. Tried phoning again at 10pm and still voice mail, tried phoning 8am in the morning when I was suppose to be getting ready for my wedding and still got voice mail. Avoided this place like a plague it ruined not only the night before my wedding but it also ruined my now wife's birthday which was 31st may. I have already made a complaint to booking.com and will be doing a credit card charge back soon as I get home. So basically I dare to say I didn't like anything about this experience at all.

Did not like being left with no place to stay and no way to contact the owner as just goes straight to voicemail. Completely terrifying experience when you find yourself possibly homeless for the night with an eight and four year old in the car. Thankfully arnerstapi hotel had rooms so suggest you book there instead
