The rental units looked brand new. They put a lot of nice features into each cabin. Very modern feel. We enjoyed our stay!

Cabins stay was very nice and cute. Only thing I would say is the bedding could have been cleaner. There was pieces of hair in my bed from a previous tenant.
Great place, very clean, convenient, self-check in was very easy.

View is amazing, the place is very nice, we loved it. It would have been nice to have a microwave but we managed. The hot water is limited so we would get wet turn the water off to soap up then rinse off again to ensure we both had hot water. I would recommend this place to people.
Our stay was perfect, the guesthouse was in a great location and it was very clean and quiet, with everything we could need. We got lucky during our stay and could see the northern lights out of our back window - would definitely stay here again!
This room was beautiful and cozy! The heated bathroom floor was an added bonus. The team was very accommodating and polite with a special request. Definitely recommend!!!

Cabin looked very modern. The view of the glacier was amazing. Located directly at the ring road but still quiet.
Our host Stefan was very nice.
It was very small. There was not enough space for both of our suitcases.
We would have wished more equipent in the kitchen, concerning quantity of utensils.
The porch lights of all cabins automatically burned throughout the entire night, which bothered us because we were hoping to see northern lights and thus left the blinds open.
If you‘re coming from the glacier, be aware that hot water is limited.
This was by far my favorite stay! The location was perfect, close to great restaurants, and the place was spotless. The view from my room was amazing, and I especially loved the heated floors in the bathroom —they were such a nice touch.
I definitely recommend this place to others!
This property is a gem of Iceland. The property is easy to find - the conods are the structures in the area. Driving from West to East - just turn left after the glacier foot - can't miss them! :D
I received my entry code both in messages in e-mail and Expedia. The room was cozy, quiet, and serene. The kitchenette was much appreciated and included instructions for confused foreign tourists.
My only (ultra-picky) complaints came from the desire for more bathroom shelf space, a shower wash cloth, and a roll of paper towel for kitchen spills.
I look forward to staying here again and the view from the back will forever be a warm memory in my heart.
It was a lovely, compact and amazing room with a roof window for northern light. However, the room I stayed the window wasn’t close properly due to a bent window frame.
