Cozy cabins in a great area…but. Be warned that there is mold in the bathrooms and BED BUGS. Spent the whole next day after our stay washing and sanitizing all our clothes and luggage. Hosts did not seem concerned and advised it was a non issue. Seeing the Aurora Borealis was the only consolation.

Cottage had a very strong smell when we arrived. Some mold was in the bathroom. We could not find the TV remote when we arrived. I texted the number for help they provided but never received a response.

Cute cottage up on a hill

Fabulous cottage with everything we needed but had to call the owners to ask for the information to be emailed to us so we could get in when we arrived.

If you want to add to your adventure and are willing to not just be in hotels, don't over-look this option. After a long drive and poor conditions we arrived later to the cabin. The communication to get in spot on, the conditions were really good and it had everything a person needed. The evening had crazy high winds and I thought the cabin may blow over with the campers outside but it was warm and comfy. Wi fi and TV worked great, kitchen set up was good enough if you're staying more than one night. It's not for everone but it was great and a conversation piece for afterwards. Great experience.

Good cottage, but a bit small

Cottage is in very good condition, but just a bit small, particularly for the bathroom. The size of cottage is also a bit tight if you have 3 people when you have large luggges.

Very cute stay. The room was nice and private with everything we needed. The curtains did not really do much to prevent the midnight sun from coming directly into the sleeping area but we made do by hanging some extra coats, towels and sheets to block the direct sun.

Overnight stay

Cottage was as shown on booking site. Compact with suitable amenities. Very warm overnight and could not turn heating down. Booked as part of a circle drive. Did book incorrect date and discovered this soon after. Email to cottages to request a change went unanswered. I respect that no cancellation but to change to a next day date should not have been a problem. This meant I had to reorganise my trip. Wifi good. A little out of town.

Terrible stay in cottage with bed bugs

There was a huge problem with our stay that was BED BUGS! All three beds were full of bed bugs that did not allow all of us to sleep. We all got many bites all over our bodies. The host did not respond to our complaint. I have one more point to note: the Barbecue grill is specified in property amenities, but there were no any Barbecue grill.

*** Worst place we stayed during our 10-day trip in Iceland *** The cottage smelled very strongly of fish as soon as we walked in. I like to eat fish, but this was overwhelming and, frankly, disgusting. We couldn't find the source of the smell, so we couldn't try to clean it up ourselves. The smell was so bad that some of my clothes that were in my suitcase still smelled of fish 10 days later EVEN AFTER WE LEFT ICELAND! I texted the contact for the property, and they just told us too bad because there was no other cottage available to which they could move us. I understand if they don't have an available cottage, they don't have an available cottage. However, they didn't even offer us a discount on the cost of our stay. The fact that someone went into the cottage and changed the sheets (I assume) and cleaned it (presumably) and didn't bother to clean up a smell that bad and didn't even open windows to air the place out makes me wonder how thoroughly the entire cottage was actually cleaned. Stay anywhere else if you have the choice!
