Beautiful property surrounded by horses and mountains. Only a 9 minute drive to secret lagoon. So cosy and comfortable. Easy access and we watched the sunset was dreamy! Highly recommend.

Too expensive for what it was
Great location(relatively close to geysers), but overall it was too expensive for what it was, compared to every where else we stayed at in Iceland. The sofa bed is uncomfortable. There’s no trash cans. It’s very challenging to find the place. The instruction on the email is poorly translated to English. The owner was very nice and responsive on the phone.

The host was very nice and super responsive when we had issues with the wifi, although it was never fixed during our stay. Biggest frustration was the advertised blackout curtains which didn’t cover the whole windows. The one in front of the double glass doors were a good 18 inches off the ground letting in a lot of light in the middle of summer which made it hard for my kids to get to sleep. Bed was super soft! But they were 2 single beds pushed together so I ended up in the crack a few times! Fold out bed is quite small though.

I have taken pictures there were spider webs all over the room . House was very dirty . There were no tissue papers . Utensils were dirty. We preferred to stay out as much as possible and. Only came back at 1 pm to just sleep. Horrible experience and completely water our money. This was only bad experience we had at Iceland otherwise everything about our trip was perfect.

Hi, I am amased and very surprised to read this review. I honesty doubt that your are writing about the correct accomodation as it is out of sink with our guests experience. I am sorry that you feel this way, if you are writing about correct place. It is always very well cleaned, but if was the case I would like to refund you for part of your fees.

When we arrived, we found a well equipped and handsome cabin in a beautiful place. However, I would not stay there again in summer for one reason: during the night we were eaten alive by bugs. When we first got in, I noticed a lot of no-see-ums tapping to get out the windows. Perhaps because of unusual summer warmth, it was uncomfortably warm in the cabin, but though we thought of getting window air, we couldn’t leave any windows or doors open because of the clouds of bugs. Even so, all three of us were bitten on every bit of exposed skin during the night. Not only did we not get much sleep, we are still itching all over a week later. A look in the guest book suggests that most people visit in winter, when this cabin would provide quiet and close access to the glacier and a view of northern lights. I would come to this property then, but in the summer this place needs screens and fans. We paid for our stay here with numerous days and nights of scratching at bug bites.

Hi dear guest,I am sorry to hear this, but the lúsmý bugs are new in Iceland, and come 2-3 times per summer for few days. They are annoying but hard to escape otherwise but to have the windows closed over the night. We have put up nets over the window to help keeping them out.Good you where pleaced with other things and the cabin itself.All the best and thanks for staying.

This is a cute cabin on a horse ranch. It had a workable kitchen, was clean, and had great views of the horses and hills. Just watch out for the shower cause it isn’t level and shifts when you stop in it (it’s also very small.. but this is a small house). I got an email a few days before the stay and everything was as they said.

Regretful stay
We have had a wonderful trip in Iceland. However, this stop we regret. There were bed bugs in our cabin. The bed was so soft that we had the kids sleep on the bed and the adults slept on the pull-out couch. The kids now have bed bug bites on their hands, arms, legs and neck. The shower temperature was lukewarm and smells like sulphur. From the outside the cabins are beautiful.

Hi, this comment is very strange to say the least. Are you writing about the right property? We have had these cabins in 2 years, and all of the reviews are very positive and now you write this about bed bugs. There are no bed bugs in the cabins and the geo thermal water is hot and nice. Very sorry to see this and doubt that you are writing about my cabins.

Find somewhere else to stay
The fotos doesn't match reality. Many fotos show a completely different room with a TV and leather sofas and a big modern bathroom. That is not what you get The cottage is very small. We could barely fit our luggage and 4 people. The shower is old and worn. The pictures of the small room also does not match reality. It looks quite nice and modern in the fotos, but most af the interior is old and worn. The bed was extremely soft and the sheets and linnen were old, stiff and worn. Neither the bed nor the foldout sofa was made up when we arrived. The sofa was very difficult to fold into a bed and seemed old and wonky. Maybe it was broken. One of the windows was cracked and there were little flies in the corner of all the windows, which was blackened a little from mold around the edges. The overall feeling was not very nice, and I would not recommend this place to anyone. I do not understand the very nice reviews this place has gotten. It wasn't a place I would chose to stay, if I had other options (4 people sleeping in a Dacia Dusters was not an option). We were glad to leave the next morning.

Die Abgelegenheit ist klasse. Isländer direkt vor der Tür. Zu viert aber nur für eine Nacht in Ordnung, da das Sofa halt nicht für länger geeignet ist. Aber zu zweit (oder mit Kind) ist diese Unterkunft traumhaft. Küche könnte noch etwas besser ausgestattet sein.
