    Forgot to bring enough food…not a lot of options in the evening near by. Wish something was open until 9, but very small town.

    Amazing property and view.

    Charming modern cabin with breathtaking views. The owners have done excellent job of designing and furnishing the cabins each which have an ocean view. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathroom and shower was the best we had during our 10 days in Iceland.

    Would suggest better designated parking area for each unit as people parked wherever they wanted and could park near a person’s unit and block their view.

    The contemporary cabin was gorgeous, brand new and in an amazing location with incredible views.

    It would be great to find in the house some information about the surroundings, such as routes, shops, restaurants, etc. This could help us not to look for the way to the beach on the wrong side of the house during pretty heavy rain :) And, just as an idea, having a vending machine on the property with some essentials would be a plus (considering there's no stores nearby).

    Great accommodation, it gives real comfort despite the relatively remote location. We liked everything about the house. We expected to have a break there from constant driving of previous days, which we did - just hit some nearby attractions (Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge and Lóndrangar) and took a costal walk to Arnarstapi.

    It’s like a forbidden from the city near by the sea,which is not famous,has less people. The room is new and clean, everything are clean although ppl cook in the room, it still fresh. We can be very calm to stayed here, however we can only cook here, we are very happy to do it,it is a good experience to dine in the room face to the beach, we also chose to dine the canteen nearby.

    Nothing - this place is perfect.

    I can say that it was THE BEST accommodation during our 10 day trip around Iceland. Nice location - right on the sea with incredible views. Very well planned interior with nice furniture. The cottage has very large glass windows giving you incredible views on the sea and surroundings but in the same time the distance between other cottages is also good. Very nice bathroom. Cosy bed and couch. Also pretty good price. In overal: all was amazing - location, the cottage, etc. Also they are very fast with replies on Booking.com 10/10 - perfect.

    There really wasn't anywhere to store you luggage/clothing. There is one small closet but no dresser. The bedroom is fairly small and it was tight to store bags.

    The view was incredible, the beds were comfy, and the black out shades were great. The shower was nice and spacious. I was glad it was our last stay of the trip because it blew the other places out of the water.

    Brand new stylish luxury suite cabins that all face the ocean. The materials in the cabin were high quality and well thought out, including a mirror in the bathroom with an LED frame perfect for makeup application and a lightbar in the main closet (no need to dig around in the dark). A small kitchen allowed my wife and I to easily prepare a dinner, and the minisplit offered both heating and cooling, which came in handy during the current Icelandic heat wave. The bed was on the firm side but pillows were nice and fluffy, and the shower had plenty of pressure and hot water. Others have mentioned a lack of storage space—there is a large closet for both hanging clothes and room on the bottom for bags, so that also acted as our food pantry. We've been in the country for 3 weeks but stayed here for only two nights, which seemed perfect— it's a space to relax and enjoy but not really settled into for an extended stay. We appreciated the daily towel changing/trash collection, and I also really appreciated the owner's willingness to work with us on a last-minute date change (my wife has unfortunately been sick for a chunk of this trip, which affected our itinerary). While my wife and I didn't spy any whales, we really enjoyed watching two busy Oyster Catchers and their three rambunctious fledglings roaming the grounds around our cabin (like enjoyed it to a degree that we didn't think possible... they were ridiculous and so much fun to watch). There's also a small cafe— Fjöruhúsið Café— down near the pier/beach. Google says that they're temporarily closed but they are open, and the waffles and skyr cake are delicious! We visit Iceland often and are always looking for new and nice places to stay— we are already talking about including the Peninsula Suites again in a future trip.

    Handheld shower intentionally removed, only overhead shower available. The handling of the keypad to unlock the door isn't obvious. upon arrival. Better handling info would help a lot.

    Quite literally the best apartment we've ever stayed in. Breathtaking views, stunning design, and plenty of space. Fully equipped kitchen, stove, microwave, a luxurious bed and pillows — everything was spotless and brand new. High-speed internet. The location is unbelievably beautiful!! We absolutely loved it. Would happily live here for a year! Hands down the best place in Iceland. Thank you!

    That we had to leave.

    The most stunning stay in our entire 2 week trip of Iceland! The suites are brand new, beautifully furnished with everything you might need. The huge windows overlooking the ocean were a dream to sit by, and you wouldn’t believe it but we saw 9 orcas from our window who spent about 3 hrs cruising around. It was surreal. The suites are private, quiet and so relaxing. Check in was very easy, loved everything about it. I can’t speak more highly of this property!

    Absolutely stunning apartment—this might be the most unique place we've ever stayed. From the breathtaking views of the sea and cliffs to the thoughtful design, we loved every minute! We slept like babies on the incredibly comfortable beds, and the shower was amazing, complete with such high-quality products. They truly think of every detail!! The space was super functional, we cooked ourselves a cozy dinner in the apartment and enjoyed the complimentary coffee in the morning. It was really easy to access, and the location couldn’t be better, it is close to the national park, seals, waterfalls, and even a glacier, all with stunning views over the ocean. We even saw a seal resting on the rocks just a minute from the apartment! This is such a unique spot, with total privacy and nature all around. Worth every single buck and we’ll definitely be back!!!
