Nice cabin, not nice warning sign on the wall.

Small clean cabin. Easy to check in and out. The surroundings were lovely beautiful. The road to the place for just a tiny bit was gravel, but completely normal one.

The cabin was much smaller than we imagined, still ok though. What I disliked the most was a sign on the wall that said if you don't want after yourself the dishes and remove the sheets, they will charge 10k kronas, which sounded very pushy and not friendly, also probably not very legal, as I assume they can't just charge money. We left the property extremely clean but still felt that those things should be kindly asked rather that reinforced like that, especially removing the sheets. Luckily they didn't ask us to wash and dry them as well.

Small isolated cabin. Clean. Decent for an overnight stay near Hella.

Clean and well maintained. Good shower. Near Hella, which is convenient for travel by car.

Feels remote and isolated - could not be comfortable for solo travel.

Quiet, tidy, tiny home with expansive views

Lovely, private place with beautiful expansive views. Very calm, well equipped, not far from Hvolsvollur and exactly what we needed for a two day stay.

Non refundable meant we had to know in April we would make it in July.

For $230 USD per night, there are many better places to stay.

Nice, private room in a great location.

The room and bed sheets hadn't been cleaned when we arrived at 5:30pm. The light inside the bedroom area didn't work. The TV didn't work. There was also no soap or shampoo in the shower/bathroom. Not worth $230 USD per night.

The place was beautiful and peaceful. The cottage was really clean and we loved the interior design. The location was a good stop on the way to Vik so all in all we had a really good experience. We would definitely stay here again!

Great cottage in a beautiful location.

It was a beautiful location and the perfect size for a small family. The beds were very comfortable and the deck offered a beautiful view of mountains and plains of wildflowers. The nearby town is close enough for a grocery stop before we headed out for a quieter stay out of town.

Plague of little biting flies destroyed our stay. It was terrible.

Inside the house is a plague of little, biting flies. Noone could sleep, because of thousands of insects trying to bit us. We had to keep our windows closed to prevent more of the flies coming inside, but the object has no ventilation - so it was very stuffy and hot in the bedroom. I ended up sleeping in our car at 4AM. Flies left a lot of bite marks on our bodies which are very painful and itchy.

Poor

The facility was equipt with heating system

The facility was super dirty, there were hairs all over the bathroom. We booked the place for 2 nights and the towels were only enough for one day. Super small facility, only good for overnight sleep. Although there was a big note on the wall to clean the apartment before leave (taking out bed sheets, garbage, etc. And if not done guests will be charged, the room was dirty! Not sure why the cleaning fee was included in the price, when it's not been done & guests needed to take care of it.

The location was only a little off the main highway, but still a convenient location in the south of Iceland. The cabin was roomy and easily accommodated our family.

The directions given were not compatible with Google maps. We were initially not able to find the property. I would suggest using coordinates instead of an address.

A beautiful, clean and comfortable place to stay!

We loved everything about it. Convenient location, helpful hosts, super comfortable beds. We booked this on very short notice because we had been camping and the campground we planned was unavailable. It's in a great location for the Westman Islands ferry and close to town so we were able to get groceries. We had an issue with the TV and the host came over in about 5 minutes and fixed it for us. The cottage is so clean and so comfortable. Also, we discovered beyond the beautiful Alaskan Lupine was a little river! The view was amazing.

We struggled a little with settings on the TV, as well as the hot plate, so an instruction sheet would be an added bonus. It was a little tricky to find. GPS took us to town and a kind local redirected us. Another reviewer complained about cleaning, but that's pretty common in rooms like this. And not a big deal at all.

One of the rules of the house it was that we had to do house cleaning otherwise there was a fee. You don't pay almost 200€ for that. If i want this i would stay at my place0

We liked it and will probably book it again next year

The place was really cool. Perfect setup for us since we were there for cycling.

We arrived very late and the GPS location was a bit off. Of course there was a sign later down the road, with the name of the property. But as a newcomer, you don't know if that name is for the whole village/area or only for the exact location. A short description and explanation would have helped. Maybe most people arrive during day light so its not needed.

The lupines field in front of the cottage.

The bed is too high for me. But you have a beautiful sight of the flower field from your bed.

Great location, a bit disappointing

- Clean - Great location - Warm

- The photos are misleading, they mainly show a larger house which is not the cabin we booked - Bunk beds are too high and not sufficiently safe (the guard rail barely comes above the mattress) this meant we couldn’t have our children sleeping in the top bunk.
