    We were very kindly given a bigger cottage than the one I booked , and this one had a sauna and a hot tub which was brilliant. We enjoyed our stay , the surroundings were beautiful and being able to hear the nearby river was lovely.

    Coffee machine but no coffee

    Comfy beds and nice big living space. We arrived outside of the reception hours but were given access without issues and also were given an upgrade which was highly appreciated:)

    You have to use the phone to call the receptionist for check-in. My Canadian phone provider charges 30$ day even if you do just one call, so the checkin was a bit expensive in my case. It would be better to receive pin code or other information by e-mail, the wi-fi is available in cafe ant gas stations.

    Very good place to stay when you do long ride between Reykjavik and Acureiry or Myvatn. We had small house for two persons; it was very calm. There was kitchen place that was not indicated in description so we could have our own breakfast.

    City centre was not close, smell in the bathroom was not nice and couch in the living room was broken.

    Nice houses, we got first a small house and asked to change and this was ok. There was no reception but we could call and they response quickly. Nice bed and close by nice restaurant. Beautiful view over the river.

    Shower facilities were awful (shared with campground next door?), tiny mattresses (pushed together) - not really comfortable, cottage difficult to find after dark

    New cottage, good heating & hot water, clean, equipped mini kitchen (but no supplies), basically quiet decent lighting, and porch/chairs for sitting

    Very small. Description didn’t quite match reality. Shared shower facility was too small for size of property. Nobody on site

    Good location. It would have been a lovely property a few years ago. Very private and cozy.

    We had originally booked a smaller cottage - but when we arrived it wasn't ready as it hadn't been cleaned yet. So the very friendly receptionist immediately upgraded our cottage to a larger one. No arguments and no extra cost. Great customer service in my opinion.

    There was very little space for having so many beds in a cottage. The 'hottub/spa' was not filled and seemed like it might be broken. I understand if we wanted to use it we'd have to fill it, which is not something I typically see at other locations.

    Having a kitchen was convenient. There were a ton of beds.

    Beds were too small for half of our group. Bathroom could use some cleaning. The hot tub that was offered had an issue and you couldn’t close it to fill it up and use it.

    The location is nice, right next to a river.

    The water in the area really stinks of sulfur so be sure you bring drinking water. No bedside lamp in the bedroom. Instructions for the tub were a little vague. The bathroom wall is a mess of pipes and valves so I have attached a picture showing which one you turn on to fill the tub -pointed to by the Blue arrow, and the adjustment for the water temperature going out to the tub - the red arrow.

    Nice cabin with awesome views of the river. The hot tub setup is odd and requires a bit of work but was good when it finally filled. Nice kitchen and living room space.

    The beds were really small. And the sheets were a little dirty. If you're a smaller human and don't have claustrophobia, you'll be fine.

    The cottage is really well built. Includes hot tub and sauna.we didn't use either though. Location and scenery are really nice.
