Guest Reviews

- Juan Mas (9/5): - Casa limpia y agradable
- Annelie (7/5): eine simple Übernachtungsmöglichkeit - Nettes kleines Apartment mitten im Nirgendwo. Von der Lage her war es perfekt für unsere geplante Tour im Lavatunnel am nächsten Tag.
Wir hatten das Apartment im 1 OG mit eigenem Bad und guter ausgestatteter Küche. Sehr unglücklich waren die fehlenden Gardinen in den Schlafräumen.
Unschön war auch der anscheinend ansäßige Nachbar der in einer identisch aussehenden Unterkunft lebt. Als wir die Pferde und Schafe fotografieren wollten, wurden wir harsch angefahren dass dies Privatgelände sei (Nicht ausgeschildert, keine Zaun, gar nichts.) und man die Tiere nicht fotografieren darf. Mit den Worten " in eurem Land würde man die Polizei für Hausfriedensbruch rufen" wurden wir verabschiedet.
- Giota Nt. (7/5): - The cottage is actually located in the middle of nowhere so it's a perfect spot for enjoyng the aurora if you are lucky!
It has comfortable beds, free parking and fully equiped kitchen. The bathroom was a big issue as there was a bathtub but you couldn't stand or kneel to have a shower and the only option was to lay in the tab. Not comfortable at all for travellers.
- DAMIANO (10/5): In mezzo al nulla ma con tutti i comfort - Comfort e posizione
- Kikijunk (9/5): -
- Zuzanna (10/5): - obiekt czysty, zadbany i zgodny z opisem. Szybki kontakt z właścicielem, zameldowanie bez problemu. Wyposażenie mieszkania bez zarzutów

- drew (9/5): - the location was perfect for what we needed; somewhere isolated and away from it all. the views were incredible and we got to see the aurora from the plot
the accommodation was a lot bigger than we thought and the photos don't do it enough justice.
kirsten was very friendly and the check in process was very simple the beds were very creaky so you could hear everyone tossing and turning at night!
there was no blind or curtain in the smaller room so this may be an issue for trying to get kids to sleep whilst there's still light outside.
given that many would likely choose this place for it's remote location, an outdoor seating area would have been great for aurora watching
- Maria José (7/5): - La localización y las vistas El tamaño de habitaciones, muy pequeñas
Falta perchas.

- Perla Arianna (10/5): - Casa pulita e molto bella, ottima per osservare l'aurora boreale e dotata di tutti i comfort. il letto con la struttura in legno nella camera piccola era davvero rumoroso e scomodo.

- Robin (9/5): Fijn verblijf op goede en mooie locatie in de natuur en dicht bij Reykjavik - Modern, schoon, warm, ruim
- Ignacio (9/5): - Tranquilidad. Situado "en el medio de la nada", pero de fácil acceso. Ideal si buscas alojamiento para cocinar por las noches y estar tranquilo después de un día de excursiones fuera... Nada en especial
- Chris45428 (4/5): - We did not stay at this facility. Upon further review of the details of this property we determined that filters (such as private bathroom ) were ignored in our Booking search results and that this property did not meet our needs. We regretfully booked another property and did not stay at the Cottage in the Middle of Nowhere. It was an expensive lesson in learning not to trust Booking and to look more carefully at the results generated by their search engine.
- Kwok Wai (8/5): - The kitchen is spacious and clean, fully equipped, and offers a pleasant surrounding view, making it an excellent value; highly recommended. Unfortunately, the cottage's location is not accessible via Google Maps.

- Maria (10/5): - Spacious, well-equipped with some products in the kitchen. Beautiful view and surroundings. Parking next to the entrance. Tv with internet connection, nice bathroom. Would really recommend!
- Lan (7/5): -
- Petr (9/5): - Velmi pěkný a prostorný apartmán, jediná věc, která mi trochu zkazila pobyt byla moje postel, která strašně vrzala při každém pohybu. Myslím, že i ostatní postele byly dost hlučné. Velmi hlučná postel, slyšíte každý pohyb. (Za náš pobyt jsem zažil dost hlučných postelí, hlavně poschoďových, toto byl opravdu extrém.)
- Michelle (9/5): Countryside cheer - We loved the location out of town, lovely. Our host greeted us personally and provided detailed instructions to locate the property. The accommodation was as described, very comfortable, and self-contained.
- gianmarco (8/5): Bellissima Casetta Rossa! - Edificio bellissimo e comodissima per iniziare il viaggio in islanda La doccia era troppo bassa essendo in mansarda, e i fuochi troppo lenti a scaldare

- Magdalena (10/5): Un posto magico. - Un bellissimo appartamento, molto pulito e attrezzato con ogni cosa necessaria quando viaggi con la famiglia.
Bella atmosfera, siamo stati molto bene. Tutto perfetto.
- Jeanne (10/5): Great for a family of four - Very clean and spacious for a family of four. Nice kitchen area. Beautiful location. We would stay here and again and would highly recommend this cottage. Just understand that a fee is charged for using the washer. Under the amenities, a washer is listed. I assumed this would be included. One of the main reasons we chose this cottage is because it’s in the middle of our trip, and we needed to wash a few clothes. We only travel with a carry-on. There was a hefty fee, and I did not have ISK, but the host accepted $20 USD.
- Iratxe (10/5): In the middle of everything - The cottage was better than expected, its in the middle og nowhere but still not far from a little city and lots of nature.
- Michael (8/5): Very good - Bath tub was too close to ceiling making it impossible for an adult to get in.
- Julang (8/5): Very good -
- Buba (9/5): Appartment in beautiful location - the great start for Golden Circle - What a beautiful location near Selfoss and ofcourse the "golden circle". Nice appartment with two bedrooms, one of them was quite large. Beautfiful view from all sides. Free parking and fast internet. You have to shower in a bathtub. A shower was provided on groundfloor but must be shared between 2 appartments.
- Meky (7/5): Good -
- Anna (10/5): Charming, well equipped apt perfect for star gazing and saying hello to Icelandic horses! - We loved our stay! The place was perfect with everything we could need. The view was lovely, had Icelandic horses nearby, well supplied kitchen, adjustable beds, a clothes washing machine (1,000 ISK/load), and excellent star gazing. I highly recommend and will be coming back during my next stay in Iceland! Our stay was perfect!
- Mariusz (10/5): Exceptional - It's perfect place for me:fully equipped, very clean and quiet. If you want feel Iceland I recommend this accommodation.
- Carolyn (8/5): Very good -
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was fine N/A
