    Great base for sightseeing!

    Tap water in the complex is sulfury and rather undrinkable so please have your own drinking water with you (there was none there). The location is still not on the map so make sure to be there before dark or you may have difficulty to find it (it is further, at the end of a road indicated on google maps with big eagles on the gate). There is not enough trash bins for segregation. I would suggest the administrator to provide all required information one day before check-in as some of the information I read only after check-out.

    Great housing complex. Modern, clean and cozy, in the middle of quiet fields. Equipped with essentials.

    The place was great. Just a little small for a 2 year old to run around inside :)

    The property was nice and secluded. A little dar from selfoss down a gravel road.

    We loved the space and the location was ideal. The cabins were very clean and equipped with everything you may need. The host was very responsive and we would recommend the cabins without doubt. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

    Too much emphasis on waste separation. We have no problem with separation (we also separate them at home)! However, if someone wants waste separation for six groups, then they should prepare 6 different bins, not order that a guest who is in Iceland for the first time should look for group waste islands in the neighborhood. While the other guests don't separate their waste at all ;(.

    Up-to-date communications. Modern and clean accommodation. Recommended, if you want to stay for several days near the Golden Circle.Precise access instructions, everything else without any comments.

    We didn't like that there were flies and spiders, we must've killed at least 20 flies. Also, we had a hard time opening the door to one of the cabins. There wasn't a place to congregate, one cabin had a sofa but the other one had the table. Also, the 3rd sleeping area was separate and uncovered so it is very dangerous for the elderly and kids. We weren't sure exactly which cabins were ours since there were 4 separate cabins. There were no instructions for anything. The dryer didn't work properly, it gave us an error to drain the water but there was no water. It was midnight so we didn't want to bother the host.

    We liked the hot tub eventhough we had to fill it everyday. The host was very responsive to our questions

    Weird and difficult, not worth the money. We do have many family inside jokes about it now.

    Gaining access was very difficult. We called the Greenkey host and they acted like we were idiots. They had clearly never been to the property. There were MANY doors and MANY locks. After finally getting inside, it was sweltering. No AC, of course, and the giant wall of windows makes you feel exposed and creates an indoor oven. This is probably nice in winter. It was awful in July. If you rent the entire "villa" (HA! More like "Amazon build-a-house), some of your party will need to walk outside to get to and from their bedroom and the main house. Inconvenient in the rain, I wouldn't do it in winter or with young children. Not enough towels, one small one per guest. Refrigerator was never cold enough despite turning it to the lowest setting. Instructions for sorting trash arrived on day 4. Outside trash containers were overflowing on day 1.

    Quiet. Selfoss is a good central location for a few days.

    The shower smelled like sulfur but you get used to it. The oven is nice but there were no oven mitts or baking paper, would be nice. The smoke detector kept going off because there was no hood for cooking. Luckily the owner could stop the sound.

    Modern, clean and super new! Beautiful silent surrounding. We saw the Northern lights on our first evening. The beds were very comfortable (be aware, one room has a double bed and one room has a single bed). Selfoss and many things to visit nearby.

    Just a small issue, as we had requested a cot and when we arrived the cot wasn’t at the property (despite the property having confirmed that it would be there) and the beds are not big enough to have a little baby sleeping with the parents. The cot was then delivered the day after our arrival.

    The location, the space available, the amenities were great. Super quiet place with everything needed for a wonderful stay.

    Unpractical layout, didn’t want to leave my children in a separate part of the house. Hot tub wasn’t working , which was a massive disappointment as it was the reason we booked the lodge. We won’t be returning

    The property was modern.
