    Cute cottage on a remote farm in the middle of no where. Exceptional place to see northern lights, if there were any. Nice heated floors.

    Would have liked a TV. Smart TV best. Didn't care for the long gravel road to get to the location. About 5 miles of gravel. Very remote, bring food/drinks, as nothing around for 15 minutes. Sheets and Duvet cover not very soft.

    Beautiful property w a view of the countryside. Clean room and very comfortable bed. Perfect location to spend the night on a tour of southern Iceland.

    Host was shouting through the house at 10pm. When asked to tone it down he just shouted that it’s not midnight yet Pictures are very misleading! Show cottages and other rooms - whilst this is mainly an extra room in the house next to the washing room. As other people mentioned kitchen is a fridge next to the private washer. You have to wash the dishes next to the toilet (see pictures). Not worth the money!

    A charming option for lodging between Vik and Reykjavik, in the countryside. Perfect for a couple on a romantic getaway. Plan ahead and take food for breakfast.

    Not at all the fault of the facility: we had three adults and it felt a bit cramped. Again, is a charming option for a couple.

    There was a separate entrance (shared with one other guest). The bedroom space, bathroom, and common spaces were very clean and organized. The interactions with our hosts were very friendly and hospitable.

    The kitchenette space (shared with the other guest) was smaller than anticipated and the house electrical capacity did not support all kitchen appliances. However, our hosts were kind enough to make other arrangements to allow us to prepare our meal.

    Great and attentive host who provides good tips and conversation. Rooms were very comfortable and the common areas are nice, kitchen was very useful. Great shower for getting the grime of travelling off of you. If the weather is good there is seating outside, very nice stay!

    It is far away from stores etc., the roads could be a challenge in really bad weather without a 4x4.

    View from kitchenette was beautiful, rooms were big with room to hang a few items.

    Better to have a sink in the kitchen.

    Everything was clean and comfortable. Good value for money. Easy communication with the owner. There is a shared bathroom and kitchen but we were lucky enough the be there alone that night so we had the whole place to ourselves. Ps the owner has cute dogs and one extra cute puppy!

    Facilities were great

    Need to inform that location is "remote" so no stores/restaurants "nearby". Not a problem if prepared 😉

    The place was clean and the bedrooms were comfortable. They had the infrastructure to allow our plug in hybrid to be charged.

    The kitchen facilities are abysmal! There is only an induction hot plate, very small fridge and a microwave. You have to wash your dishes in the bathroom sink.

    The place is clean, well equipped with basic necessities and is comfortable to stay in. We got stuck in orange alert and there was another booking. The owner assured us that we can come back if we cannot travel ahead and she will arrange something for us instead of risking it to drive further. Thanks Sigga for everything

    The place is bit out of the way, so stock up on food, fuel before reaching. But setting of the house is very serene and beautiful.
