Reviews of Kaffi Holar Cottages and Apartments

The cottage was too small and too basic. However the owner managed to move us into an apartment on day 2 which was much better. It had a lot more space and everything we needed. I would highly recommend the apartments.

Our only problem was the cottage was too small and had no cups but as I said before we were moved to an apartment that was lovely.

Limpio y cómodo

View on mountains and horses. But if you have any other option to spend night - go anyway else, not here

It looks to be a student dormitory - very unexpected, and very weird. For me it was worse then morden hostel - too poor , and uncomfortable at all. I felt very disgusted! Windows cannot be opened, it is very stuffy in bedroom; you could open balcony door, but it feels very unsafe, and it is common balcony for the whole house. Pillows are awful. It could be okay if it costs 2-3 times less, and if you know what to expect. But for the same price in the region you could get nice fresh rental , usually even with breakfast, just 0,5-1h drive. P.s. BUT if I were a student, I dreamed to be a student in this university with such awesome-view dormitory 💚🖤

The two cottages that we booked for our family group were perfect for our needs - well appointed and very comfortable. They were a much appreciated stopping off point on our Route 1 road trip and a great opportunity to prepare a few meals for ourselves. The location is stunning and extremely easy to find with plenty of parking.

Nothing could have been better.

In the heart of nature, peace.

We had an entire cottage for a very reasonable price! There is a large entryway, kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, bathroom and a patio with a wonderful view. The location is in beautiful area with picturesque landscapes.

There were no blackout curtains which made it difficult to sleep during our stay in July. Additionally, while it is quiet and secluded, if you do not have food there is no nearby restaurants or grocery stores.

Great location, the lock box was easy to use, large space inside the cottages. We enjoyed staying here and having a kitchen was nice

Some things were a bit worn (laundry machine didn’t work, some lights didn’t work, and the beds were okay). Also when we pulled up someone else was in our designated parking spot. Wasn’t super clear where other cabins were supposed to park/if they were supposed to park.

Simple, quiet, well-equipped (with basic amenities) apartment located in the university community of Holar. The apartment provided good value for money, and I would recommend it for anyone needing basic accommodations out in the countryside.

It was fine and met all our requirements. This is basic (budget) accommodation, but you get a good deal on it.

There should be signs for the location of the apartments. There are no microwaves in the apartments and the description of the apartments says so. In one of the apartments the toaster was broken. Dubious hygiene of the kitchen apparels. In one the rooms the shade curtain for the night was broken (lucky that it was totally down...). The toilet there is no proper place for the shower, just a sink hole on the floor and a curtain and a mop.

Cute little place, very peaceful town, not many tourists around and that is rare in Iceland.

Shower could use an upgrade

We enjoyed a good time in two adjacent and spacious apartments, which were well-equipped and comfortable.

Just a very, very minor point, but we really missed some curtains to darken the bedroom at a time when the sun doesn’t really set. The light shine-through curtains that are there are not very handy. Alternatively: bring a sleeping mask ;-)

The location was remote and was really good, the room was spacious with kitchenette which was advantageous.

2 of the 4 rooms were very smelly when we entered. Requested the staff for a change and they were unresponsive on Booking.com message box. The beds were very soft and the sheets didn’t seem clean enough. Not a deal breaker but if they could add a provision for third person in the apartments given the space. We weren’t allowed to book for a third person so we had to book an extra apartment.

Location amazing. Easy check in. We had a small issue which we emailed the staff and they got back to us straight away.

Nothing

Beautiful apartment and the breakfast was great.

Well located, but this is the only good aspect

Very VERY dirty, streak mattresses, non darkening curtains

Apartment was comfortable and functional. A little off the beaten path but we like that.

Good space and quiet.

Could be more clean and more coffee available.

The location and surrounding. All by ourselves. Washing machine was a nice surprise.

Television did not work, no matter what button you pressed on the remote, nothing was happening. The coaxial connector was damaged due to the sofa bed opening on the plug from previous tenants. Instructions to operate TV and or remote would have been appreciated.
