"VERY charming Decor and INCREDIBLE hospitality"

10.0

This was a marvelous stay I would joyously repeat. This is VERY charming lodging in a perfect location to walk to anything in Reykjavik. Elsa was an incredible host who truly went above and beyond to assure I had everything I needed. Anything I was looking for was available - the place is perfectly equipped for guests and very comfortable. It's everything you would hope for and for very good pricing.

"Another great stay at House of the Snowbird. Takk fyrir!"

10.0

This is my second stay at House of the Snowbird. It is my favorite accommodation in Reykjavík, and having a parking spot is a great perk. It's close enough that one can walk to just about everything, yet it's far enough away from the bars that noise is not a problem. The apartment is very clean and inviting, with original art to add a homely touch. Elsa, the owner, is an exceptional host and has created a wonderful atmosphere for visitors. If you want to stay at a place where you truly feel like you're at home, look no futher - House of the Snowbird is it!

"A delight"

10.0

We took the entire house - we didn’t have the sound proofing issues others have mentioned, therefore. Both apartments are elegant and full of love and local character

We loved everything

"아이슬란드 가정집을 느껴보고 싶다면 아름다운 이 숙소를 골라주세요!"

10.0

레이캬비크 시내 중심에 있어 여기저기 도보로 다니기에 좋은 위치였습니다. 현지 가정집이 이런 느낌이 아닐까 싶을정도로 아기자기하고 아름다운 집이었어요. 주방에 기본적인 오일, 소금, 후추 등이 구비되어 있고, 숙소에서 요리를 해먹기에도 식기나 조리도구가 부족함이 없었습니다. 가장 장점은 호스트의 친절함입니다. 메세지 수신과 회신이 빨라서 소통에 어려움 없이 편하게 여행할 수 있었어요. ❤️😉

없어요!
