    The kitchenette was very well equipped. Felt like we were in a log cabin. Cozy beds, beautiful view, and met by a friendly host.

    A wonderful serene accommodation in the heart of the East

    The bathroom was very small, particularly the shower. You can hear the adjoining room but this wasn't an issue. The turning to get in was a little steep but manageable so be prepared for that. You have to inform the hosts on the day what time you will be arriving, which is fine for us as a generous check in window which we could move on the day, but meant we felt a little rushed to get there in time.

    This was our favourite accommodation for our holiday. The cabin was more spacious than expected and was really comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The location is central and great and a short drive to many sites in the East of Iceland. The views were incredible and it's such a serene stay.

    Bed linen was tired and worn out . Required new pillows . Shower room was very small and knees touched the shower when sitting on the toilet . This could be fabulous if the owners updated the accommodation . A more comfortable sofa and shower cubicle showing wear and tear . Also didn’t drain fast enough so standing in 4 inches of water !

    The location and grounds. Good kitchen and comfortable mattress.

    This was the only place we stayed this trip that didn't have self check in, which gave us a deadline to arrive, which is fair enough, they had to show us around the apartment and how things worked and it's only fair on them that we don't turn up in the middle of the night, even if quietly! But this did slightly affect/limit our options for that day, although once we had the key we were free to come and go, obviously respecting the quiet hours.

    This gorgeous apartment had everything we needed, thoughtfully arranged and with care for the environment, which is always good to see. They even had a list of essential grocery items you could buy to top up. It was spotlessly clean comfortable, and perfectly located for our needs, and nice and quiet.

    The small bed was tucked into a corner, it was adorable but a bit awkward for the second person climbing in.

    This property was in a remote location but very near the Hengifoss waterfall which was our next stop. Beautiful valley views. Cozy small and comfortable apartment.
