    Amazing property and view.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent property! I would live in one of these if I could! Very clean. Amazing view. It was hotter than hades when I arrived, but it cooled off quickly with the windows open plus the air conditioner. The kitchen items were a great convenience. The bed literally made me laugh when I laid down because it was so comfortable.

    The curtain draw-cords in the living room were not quite strong enough to stand up to average pulling. I had to snap the plastic back in place 3 times. The towel heater was not working either... not sure if it was broken or just having connection issues. Not a deal breaker of course, but that would have been a nice touch.

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

    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.

    Amazing cabin with a direct sea view, stylish design, and comfortable amenities. Unbelievably comfy beds with excellent pillows and sheets. Perfect base for exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

    This was an exceptional experience. There was no staff, there was an email with all of the information I needed. A view and location that couldn't be replicated anywhere else.

    Stunning ocean view right outside the window!​​ Waking up to this breathtaking coastline felt unreal – the photos don't do it justice. The apartment itself was ​​spotlessly clean​​ and incredibly ​​comfortable​​.

    For the first time in my life, I didn’t want to leave a place. Péninsula Suites is simply magical. The view is absolutely breathtaking — we stayed in Suite 1, which I truly believe offers the best view I’ve ever seen. Being there felt like stepping out of this world. It’s the perfect place to disconnect completely and reconnect with nature, the sea, and even the sound of the seagulls. I’ve never felt so light, so peaceful, so far away from the noise of everyday life. The interior is beautifully designed with incredible attention to detail. Every material is top quality — even the kitchen towels and bed linens. The lighting, the layout — everything has been so thoughtfully curated. I’m 100% coming back, and next time for a longer stay. This is, without a doubt, the best place I’ve ever been. I recommend, recommend, and recommend again!

    Everything was just perfect

    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.

    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.

    Nothing - this place is perfect.

    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.

    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.

    It is a fantastic place with so many birds around - we could see and listen to dozens of Eurasian oystercatchers, Common redshanks, Common snipes and many others.

    Bed was incredibly comfortable. We had been awake for.28 hours straight and slept so well once we landed in bed. It was lovely to have espresso in the morning.

    The open shower was a bit of a mess, hard to keep the water from leaving the shower area. But there was great water pressure so it was OK overall

    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.

    Perfect location, beautiful sea view, modern furniture, almost perfectly equipped. Premium category.

    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.
