Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Dear Team, I am writing to raise a concern regarding our check-in experience. I notified you one day in advance as instructed, including requesting the hot tub. However, when we arrived around 17:30, the room door was locked, the keys were not accessible as described, and the hot tub was not ready. There was no immediate assistance available, and the weather conditions that day were very poor, which made the situation particularly uncomfortable. This did not align with the check-in instructions provided and resulted in a very disappointing experience. I would appreciate your explanation and advice on how this can be resolved. Kind regards, Wilson

The room was small but had a table to eat at and most everything one would need. But there was no hand towel and no hair dryer. Shower pressure was good. Location within 15 minutes from the airport made it a convenient and economical stop for our last night. No restaurant near by but a grocery store a short walk away and the property provides a kitchen to guests with a fridge, microwave and burner. Communication from the property manager was slow, otherwise this would have been rated a 5.

Richard, the host and owner was extremely kind, friendly and accommodating. We were lucky enough to go during a not so busy time and we were able to also use his services for pick up and drop off to the airport and couple other attractions. The place is located about 15-20 minutes from The Blue Lagoon and about 30 to 40 minutes from Reykjavík, so depending on what your plans are it could be a convenient location (about 15-20 minutes) to Keflavik International Airport.

We appreciated that we were greeted by the owner after we found our own unit (listed on a blackboard) who advised us about the hours of the small grocery store and the restaurant available in the town. The room is quiet and cosy and the property is lovely. A hot tub experience is available on request. The shared kitchen had apples (we took a couple) and a refrigerator and many appliances for making food, but we did not take advantage of the opportunity. We choose this property because we had arrived in Iceland at 6 am and after a coffee in the airport drove to the Blue Lagoon. Arctic Wind is not too far from Blue Lagoon and we knew we would be very tired (ie we didn't want to drive too far). Overall virtually no complaints but having spent more than a week on the Ring Road since the stay at Arctic Wind it is slightly on the expensive side.

Great spot, thank you to the guesthouse host!

Arctic Wind is a great place to stay, especially if you want to be outside of Reykjavik or closer to the airport or Blue Lagoon. The rooms are well appointed with every element considered to make for a comfy, easy stay. The beds are top notch and we slept well, even in the long daylight period of year (thanks to the blackout curtains as well). Ryszard is fantastic and made our stay even easier, giving us the tour of the room and all amenities, helping with airport transportation, and pointing us to the nearby restaurant before it closed for the night. Vogar is a very small town but the people are all friendly and welcoming and made this one-night stay the highlight of our two-part visit to Iceland.

It is a basic but complete facility. Very convenient if you need a place to stay close to the airport. Staff is very friendly. Location seems a bit weird. In the middle of a subdivision? or an industrial area?
