Cannot say enough good things about this property! Best stay we had in Iceland! The cottages were absolutely adorable and spacious with a large TV. Right near our airport and it was very clean and were very intentional with their directions and ways to reach them. The common area was very nice and allowed us to have some downtime with tea/coffee. The kitchen usage was an added bonus! Loved it.

We stayed in the bathroom included hut and it was very nice.Very comfortable bed and clean room. Short drive to airport .A bit isolated but good food at the local gas station nearby.You pick up room key from a coded lock box onsite so no face to face.Only improvements I would recommend is a extra pillow and we were unable to get the TV to work.

The cottage is clean and spacious. There's a separate building that has the kitchen although we didn't use it. There's no onsite staff but check in/out instructions were clear and easy to follow. It will be a good place to watch the northern lights, weather permitting.

A pretty bare bones cabin with a seprate kitchen/common area and 2 shared bathrooms with showers. Everything was nice and clean. The WiFi signal was pretty weak, we had a cabin further away from the main building. The shades on the window could have been a bit wider or had magnets on the side or something to close the gap. Overall an affordable, pleasant stay close to the airport

One of the things I wanted to do on this trip was to stay at a tent pod. This was the perfect location for our last night in Iceland since it was a short drive to the airport. I didn't see any staff since its a self check-in, but the instructions were easy and we got our key right away. There is a hot tub, but we didn't have time to get in. The shared kitchen is spacious and has all necessary appliances.
