    Everything was great. Couldn’t get the large blind to stay down so it was up both nights. That was only concern. Everything else was great!

    Great property, great location.

    No concerns with the property, it was just a little expensive overall. Next time I think we will filter to only consider properties that include some type of breakfast, as many stores in Iceland do not open until 10am and we were always on the road much earlier than that.

    This was a very cute little "apartment" (room with bed, closet, bathroom, sitting area, kettle, and mini-fridge). It was on the second floor and had a little patio area. Great location, a very short walk to the whale watching tour area and the church. There was a little convenience store nearby as well, one of the few stores we encountered that was open until 10pm, which was great.

    The apartment was spacious and clean. We stayed only for one night, but we would have been very comfortable if we were to stay a longer time. The kitchen was well equipped with a microwave, coffee machine, and toaster. There was also a washing machine.

    Nothing to complain about

    Great location in the centre of Husavik, just a short walk to the port where all the boats for the whale watching are leaving. Fully equipped kitchen that can be very useful if you are planning to cook during the stay. We enjoyed the chance to wash some clothes which helped us plan from the beginning with reduced number of clothes.

    We loved everything about this place. We stayed in Fjara which was a studio on the ground floor. It was brilliant. They truly have thought of everything to make it a comfortable couple night stay. The location is fantastic and easily walking distance for most things in Husavik and great location for exploring the north. Wish we had booked more time here. Can’t wait to stay again.

    A cool place only 2 minutes walk to the whale watching. Husavik is one of our favourite places in Iceland. Make sure to have a beer in the Husavik oL micro brewery. Northern Light picture was taken from the apartments veranda. When we return to Husavik, we will be booking here again. Can't add enough pics...

    I took a key off its chain in a safe, then attached it back for checkout. Didn't feel comfortable just leaving our stuff with a key in a cheap safe just outside the door.

    Very lovely (family run?) hotel. Right outside whale watching harbor, they also sent us discount codes for it. Parking is free, supermarket is in 5min drive, and lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.

    The apartment was spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Everything was clean as well. All the necessary amenities were provided and the bed was comfortable as well. We loved the living room area with its comfortable chairs. It is well located near the church and the meeting point for our whale watching trip the next day. The owners even shared with us a discount code for the whale watching trip :) One of our top favourite accomodation this trip. Thanks for having us!

    The room next to me had a family of four kids. The walls were really thin. I could literally hear every word they said and every move they made.

    The location was excellent, the room was spacious. The bed was really nice. Everything about the property was convenient and comfy.
