Reviews of Sólvellir Holiday Home

It was quiet, cute, clean. Great location

That we didn’t have longer to spend there

The host was quite accommodating in every way.

This is my general complaint about Europe--it would be nice if you could have one thin bedsheet AS WELL AS a duvet which is pretty toasty unless you remove the lining.

Lovely place. Good communication with the host. Quiet and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay.

I liked the hot tube and the nature around it. It is really remote. My children loved playing with the owner's dog, who was super friendly. The garden equipments and outside patio in a sunny day is a really energy recharging place.

Amazing location, next to golden circle route. Good location to see the northern lights,too. Amazing view around and very spacious on the inside, with the most amazing dog as a host.

Location was wonderful. The set up inside, with the sleeper beds was perfect for us. We enjoyed relaxing with a holiday movie in the evenings.

There was no heat and no hot water!!!!!

De Locatie

We booked Solvellir Holiday Home after scrolling through the photos, but when we arrived, we found out our “holiday home” was actually a container unit. This wasn’t made clear when booking, and honestly, it’s a stretch to call this a “home.” There were multiple issues: the water pressure was nonexistent, so we couldn’t shower until the third day. Although the owner was friendly when we reached out, no solution or alternative was provided. The sheets had yellow stains, there were mouse droppings on the kitchen sink, and without proper ventilation, the unit stayed damp, making everything feel humid. The wooden front door was even swollen from the humidity. The heating was making a lot of noise, so we had to shut it off during the night. The Towels in the bathroom still had some stains on them. Also no cleaning products were present. For 783€, this was very disappointing and from our point of view, absolutely not worth the price.

Well equiped kitchen, great hot tub (and you can modify the heat), good location not far from interesting places, Overall cozy place with plenty space. Friendly dog with sticks that require throwing.

The automatic light outside is quite strong and can't be turned off (at least we didn't found how). It kinda breaks the atmosphere and you need to close the curtains, if you want to sleep in the main room.

Not to expensive. Nice nature around. Funny dude who runs the place!

Could have been easier to call but it sorted out in the end.

This house has everything we need. Kitchen is fully equipped, beds are comfortable and bathroom is clean. Hvammsvík hot spring is only 15min away. We love this place!

The views are spectacular! Loved Castro the dog and seeing horses be moved from field to field. Tidy property.

Clothes dryer would help to dry clothes. One bedroom with bunk and queen bed was very cramped. Badly needed black out curtains during solstice time.

Great, clean place. Hot tub, games, kitchen facilities, washing machine.. everything one needs. Thanks for having a bit of coffee and oil as well that is very helpful! I highly recommend your place! thank you

Solvellir Holiday Home has all the comforts of home. The large windows offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape, and the hot tub was a huge plus. It had all the amenities required for a modern house. It’s conveniently located near city attractions, yet secluded enough for a peaceful getaway. I can’t wait to return!

This lodging was an unbelievable value! The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were extremely comfortable, internet/WiFi was exceptional, the scenery was fantastic and the lodging's windows offered spectacular views, access to the property was convenient, the shower was amazing, hot water and heating left nothing to be desired, the place was cozy and well decorated. This was our most comfortable stay during our 10 day trip to iceland.

Overall stay was wonderful, we wanted to stay out of the city and it was perfect for it. But to mention we had a rented car and took some time to commute to Reykjavik and so on. Location is wonderful if you wanna spend some quite nights out in nowhere. P.s - even got to see Aurora last two nights

Remote for TV wasnt working , but it hardly bothered us and host sent us pack of chocolates to make up for it.

good location close the golden circle, friendly owner, very playful dog, highly recommended

Fantastic location, warm, cosy, lots of facilities, welcoming, friendly owner and lovely dog that is there also! We had a fantastic time, we can’t thank you enough for such a fabulous stay!

Watch out for the trap! The smaller house (wich is actually not much more than a lousy container) has a lower standard. It has no access to the hot tub (which is actually not a whirlpool). And it is very dirty there.
