    Very good location with nice view over the river and close to shops and restaurants in Selfoss (highly recommend visiting the Old Dairy Food Hall - Mjólkurbúið Mathöll) and good starting point for Golden Circle attractions (as it was for us). The apartment was spacious and clean, the kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to cook for yourself and the bathroom had a washing machine and a dryer. Kristin (our host) welcomed us, was very helpful (even offered us to alert if there are Northern Lights out there). Shame we only stayed there one night...

    There was some noise upstairs but very minor, and did not distract or cause an issue.

    Great stay, I will 100% stay here again. View is great and the location is perfect. My wife is picky and demands cleanliness, and this was a welcome surprise to see how clean and well maintained the property looked.

    The curtains don't block out the light very well but I've noticed this with every place we have stayed in Iceland

    Excellent location in Selfoss. Wonderful host. Spacious apartment. Beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed the river view out the window and we were able to walk to dinner and the grocery store.

    Whatever I say will not do this place justice. we had the best New Year ever! That was due to where we stayed and our wonderful host. Who is the kindest, nicest lady we could wish to meet. The apartment has everything you could possibly need and is in a perfect location. just wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you once again Jen and family xxx

    The apartment is located very close to the city centre. Plenty of shops nearby. The view of the river is stunning. The apartment includes a washer and a dryer and it could come in handy if you need to do some washing or if you plan to stay for a longer period. Also the host Kristín was very nice and helpful. We'll definitely stay here again when we come back to Selfoss.

    Nothing.

    It was a last minute booking due to an Airbnb disaster. We were pleasantly surprised. The host was very helpful in making sure we got into the apartment safely. She even took the time to set up the washer and dryer for us at 11:00 at night. The apartment is clean. The beds are comfortable.

    There was not much to not like. It wasn't obvious when we pulled up it was the place, but a quick call got us to the tight spot. There were signs as well.

    River Apartments were very comfortable and our host was very gracious. We could easily walk across the street to the grocery store and restaurants. It was a quiet and peaceful place.

    Not much could have been any better!

    We checked in by use of the key locker exactly as described. The owner lives in the above apartment in the house and came by shortly after we arrived to say hello. The apartment we got in the lower part of the house was very well equipped, clean and even with washing machine and a dryer, which we used. River apartments is located right across the bridge from main part of Selfoss leaving you a view from the apartment to the city with the river in front. We can recommend to visit the food hall Mjölkurbu if you are not up for cooking in the apartment. We had a very nice stay!
