We had a great time and the property was perfect!

The property overlooks the town of Akureryi and is about a 5 min drive to the center of town. It easily accommodated our party of 8 (two families of four) and the beds were very comfortable too. If you are looking for a home base to explore Northern Iceland, I would recommend the Hrimland Cottages. The only thing keeping this property from being a 5-star is the property manager was not as communicative as I prefer. However, all information was provided and check-in was smooth.

This property is a great location and had everything we needed for our week in Reykjavik. Communication with the property managers was great. Thank you!

The location is "above" Akureyri, but not far away. It was nice to be away from the noise and cruise ship crowds. The accommodation is lovely - large, spacious. It has laundry, a full kitchen, two bathrooms, a HUGE tub and plenty of beds for all. It was clean, accessible and had everything we needed. I wished we stayed longer and will definitely use it again if in the area.

Well situated for travelling around the area or popping into the city.

Excellent property. It was clean and very well appointed. It is not luxurious but highly functional with great views.

BEWARE!!!! This property is NOT as advertised in the pictures. The closeup with the mountains and grass is photoshopped - that view does not exist. The wide view with a dozen homes on a mountainside is either old or photoshopped - the rental is in a large and growing community now three times the quantity of homes in the picture and is a massive construction zone with tall cranes and lots of traffic. Views - only three of the homes have the advertised view, the rest have a view of the sky and into windows of your neighbor’s cabin. Hot tub - not a hot tub, but an oversized bath that holds too-hot water (can’t regulate temp) and no jets. Cleaning fee - high cleaning fee then they post in the home that you have to clean everything and remove your trash. Access - minimal to no access in the snow, and the owner refuses to plow or salt up to the entrance - I took a nasty fall on my wrist and hip carrying a 40lb suitcase on a 4” thick sheet of ice that went from the driveway to the front door and the resulting pain inhibited my skiing ability. When I told the owner about it he said “ahh” and when I asked him to create safe access to my door he refused response to that only offering to refund me and have me leave. Instead of providing any help or safe access he said he was calling the police to report my recording of an accident. What???
