"Hidden gem outside Reykjavik"

10.0

Extreme beauty right outside the window, comfy cabin (that happens to be in the shape of a bus) that is perfectly packaged with a functional kitchenette and fold out bunk bed the kids loved. Bathrooms were clean and not even 10 feet from the cabin. Genuinely one of the coolest places I have ever stayed. My only regret is not booking an additional night here, it's nicely located to visit Reykjavik, and national parks are an easy drive.

Nothing, exceeded my expectations.

Il proprietario è stato carino e l'idea dell'alloggio dentro all'autobus è bella, ma mantenuta male

L'autobus è mantenuto male, non pulito bene e soprattutto ci sono assi e viti a vista, che sono molto pericolose. La cosa piu grave è lo stato dei bagni comuni: molto molto sporchi, sembra che non siano stati puliti da tanto. Abbiamo trovato brutte sorprese nei wc. Inoltre nell'autobus ci sono tanti ragni e ragnatele e abbiamo dormito poco per paura che ne spuntassero alcuni nel letto. Infine manca la tenda che copre la finestra della zona cottura e cosi non si garantisce privacy e soprattutto entra tanta luce durante la notte.

Posizione splendida, l' idea di creare una struttura ricettiva utilizzando vecchi bus è interessante. La realizzazione più che buona. Lo spazio a disposizione, se, come noi, si è in 4, risulta un po' risicato, occorre non avere bagagli o lasciarli in auto. Con un po' di organizzazione noi abbiamo cucinato, la cucina è essenziale ma funzionale. Struttura calda, nonostante le basse temperature esterne. Locale bagno/docce accettabile. Non ci farei una settimana, ma per 1 notte o 2 è ottimo.

Spazio per 4 un po' contenuto.

Nagyon élveztük, hogy egy buszban alhatunk, gyönyörű volt a kilátás a hegyre, meleg volt bent. A konyhában az alap eszközök elérhetőek voltak.

"Unique creative place"

8.0

Lovely enthusiastic owner and a very creative place. Our kids really enjoyed the bus the most of all, even though it may not have been as comfortable as the other places we stayed. Would definitely come back if we ever visit Iceland again in summer.

The kitchen could do with some more utensils. Ventilation is lacking a bit if you don't want to sit in the cold (you can open a window, but the wind was freezing and blowing hard!). Especially when cooking, it got very damp. The large back window (above the kitchen) of the bus had no blinds. We like to make it dark during those short spring/summer nights so we still get some sleep...
