The property is located in a very picturesque place. You have a lot of privacy and the perfect place to enjoy the Aurora!
Well equipped. We stayed two nights. 15 minutes drive to Höfn. The local pool is very nice too.

Place was easily accessible and clean… my only complaint was that there needed to be better pillows.

Very poor communication for check-in, unit clean and warm but basic, a little tired. Overpriced for the facilities provided. Quiet location with rural outlook.

Beautiful location off the highway, but offset so no noise. Was great for my family of 3 space wise and set up for cooking, play and sleep. Was exactly what we needed

It's mostly clean, when we got there the cottage was cleaned up well except for the blinds. At some point someone mustve closed the blinds a bit lazily, as when we opened them, there were dozens of dead bugs stuck to the inside of the blinds. Additionally, they don't have a hairdryer on the property, which given the weather, wet hair can be incredibly uncomfortable.

There were bugs in the apartment and in the bed. We could not stay in the property. We had to leave and find another hotel to stay.

Best thing about the place was the cleaning person helping us to access the property. Before that we received no communication about the property, which cabin we were in, or how to access. Thanks to help from the community, we were able to get in. Just a heads up that you are expected to make your own beds and clean (sweep, mop, vacuum, etc.) before you leave.

Simple but cozy, with amazing pastoral views. All you need is there. Easy clean up like washing dishes after yourself, putting bedding away and vacuuming , was not an issue.

My family loved the cottage, especially the field of horses right in front of the porch. Great view and location for our road trip, very quiet. I received the combi ation to the door and was happy with how easy it was to access. It was an easy location to find. I certainly recommend this property.

Very scenic setting! Lovely view from the sitting area. You will find everything you need. If you are lucky, the horses will arrive on the neighboring property and let you feed them some oats.

We did not like to have to make our own beds upon arrival. Nor did we like the obligation to clean the property before leaving. Although there was a recycle bin, it could only take bottles and cans. The are a lot of bugs in the area late in the day so we do recommend some repellent if you plan spending time on the porch.

The pictures matched the description. The location was remote. The cottage was very basic. The bedding was not even on the beds when we arrived. It was a complete surprise to read the cleaning requirements once inside the cottage. There was no mention of this when booking. It was not just the basic, clean up after yourself and take the garbage out. The bathroom was expected to be scrubbed. The floors were expected to be swept and mopped. There is a fee if not cleaned when you leave.

Check in directions. I went to someone’s house thinking it was the main area to check in and walked into someone’s house.

Be aware you have to put sheets on the bed & take off. Clean the bathroom, kitchen, sweep. Nothing is done for you, all do it yourself. Very disappointing for what we paid.
