Guest Reviews
- Cheung (10/5): -
- Roger (10/5): We had a wonderful stay, everything was clean, comfortable, and in a great location, and we would de - The house was extremely clean and very well maintained. It is located in a really cute, safe neighborhood and is close to everything, which made getting around very easy and convenient. We had a great stay and would definitely come back. The only suggestions would be to provide a couple of extra pillows per bed, as one pillow per person was not quite enough for a comfortable night’s sleep, and to include more photos of the property, especially of the bedrooms and living areas, so guests have a better idea of the space. Other than that, everything was great.

- Ekaterina (9/5): Прекрасный вариант для проживания - Все было прекрасно! Жаль не успели воспользоваться сауной Нет такого
- Ruchik (10/5): Property was great but the Host was even better very friendly and helpful. Don’t think twice before booking this. You wi - Property was great and very well maintained. The town, Seydisfjordur was remarkable as well NA
- Maria do Carmo (9/5): Casa muito confortável com cozinha, sala e lavandaria muito bem equipadas. - A casa está muito bem equipada! A sala, a lavandaria e a cozinha são fantásticos e permitiram- nos ter um refeição muito simpática em família e lavar roupa para o resto da viagem. Tem um WC muuuito espaçoso. O anfitrião é extremamente simpático. A Casa tem uma sauna exterior (que com muita pena não tivemos tempo de usar). Os quartos não eram maus, mas por exemplo o quarto maior não tinha mesas de cabeceira.
A Casa tem apenas um WC (com dimensões generosas).
- Angela (10/5): - Host was very accommodating! We loved having a home base to explore the area.
- Katarzyna (10/5): - Absolutnie najlepsze miejsce, w którym byliśmy na wyspie. Wspaniale odpoczęliśmy i zregenerowaliśmy się przed dalszą trasą. Stosunek cena- jakość: Wooow! Wybieraliśmy znacznie droższe miejsca na wyspie, które znacząco odbiegały jakością.
Oddzielna część oceny to Właściciel. Od pierwszego momentu można było liczyć na jego życzliwą pomoc. Polecam, polecam i jeszcze raz polecam Wszystko! Dom jest przygotowany aby milo spędzić w nim czas: od sauny, poprzez klocki, karty, gitarę, świetne nagłośnienie, po czekoladę, kawę i dobre wino. Każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie
- Joanna (10/5): Exceeded all expectations and definitely a place to book. - The villa was seriously spectacular. It has super comfortable rooms, a beautiful bathroom and living space, with the added bonus of a full laundry room. Walking distance from town and a chance to meet and chat with the owner were unexpected bonuses. Definitely a must-go-to home. Absolutely nothing. It was perfect.
- Anastasiya (7/5): -
- Tatiana (10/5): - Beautiful view if the mountains and harbor, very well remodeled and stylish modern Icelandic design inside. Host top notch responsive and helpful. The hight of our stay was the sauna with a glass window overlooking gorgeous pink sunset sky and the fyord. Loved everything
- Mayank (10/5): Amazing property, amazing host - Amazing location. Hilmir was an amazing host. We had some questions and he came within minutes to help us. Property's location is amazing and the drive to the property is even better. We enjoyed the sauna as well. We were travelling in a group of 7 including kids and each one of us wanted to stay for longer. We were not used to 'no lock on washroom door ' culture of Iceland.
- Mckenzie (10/5): Exceptional - The views were lovely, the sauna was amazing, and the decor was gorgeous. The host was very accommodating and responsive.
- Pedro (9/5): Superb -
- Gerard (9/5): Superb - Kitchen living room. Shower 🚿 controls ... Lights in bathroom.. no oven mitts... Bedroom power outlet locations
- Steffen (10/5): Perfect for two couples and a kid, spacious and luxurious apartment with friendly host - Great, friendly and attentive host.
Spacious apartment with all amenities
(full kitchen, washing machine, dryer, sauna) Third room was tiny and basically is only the bed
- Nasser (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful all around i would give 100 out of 10. You will find everything you need and the owner was extremely nice supportive and friendly. We got stuck in storm where we couldn’t go out anywhere that day. He invited us to some hot and cold spa nearby. He treated us like a family. One of the things we will never forget and wish we can thank you enough.
- Virginia (10/5): A fabulous nights rest on our way around Iceland. - Gorgeous house! The sauna is awesome. The whole house is lovely and luxurious. Nothing
- Ozge (9/5): Superb - Amazing design
Very friendly and responsive host
Nice outdoor sauna and bbq
Cosy TV room and views from the windows Unfortunately, the fireplace was not working so that was a pity
- Xi (10/5): Exceptional - A spacious room with a great view, and a fantastic kitchen. There’s also a guitar with excellent tone. After a meal indoors, you can take a leisurely stroll around the small town, and it feels absolutely wonderful! The outdoor sauna is a must-try experience.
- Yushu (10/5): Exceptional - Very cosy place and friendly host! Quite calm little town and beautiful view.
- Yifat (9/5): Superb -
- Ekaterina (6/5): Passible - The location is nice and the views are great and beautiful. The landlord was friendly and approachable. However, we were disappointed with the overall condition of the property, which did not match the description of a “Luxury Villa” on Booking. There were personal items left in the kitchen, including partially used food and medication, as well as a mess in several drawers. Additionally, the cleanliness was a concern; the villa was not as clean as we expected. The laundry room, where the washer and dryer are located, was in poor condition. While the owner did mention that the laundry room was still under construction, this information was only provided after I had already read the negative reviews, which was frustrating.
The villa itself still appears to be under construction, and the bedrooms feel somewhat unfinished. There was a noticeable damp smell throughout the house, particularly in the bedrooms, which created an unpleasant atmosphere. There were also frequent fluctuations in the shower’s water temperature, ranging from cold to extremely hot; unfortunately, our child was burned, which was quite distressing. The synthetic bedding was not very comfortable, and one of the bedroom doors could not be shut properly. For a property advertised as “luxury,” these issues were quite surprising and disappointing.
We rented what we believed would be a luxury villa, but it turned out to be more like an average apartment, similar to a typical Airbnb listing. Normally, we would have considered moving to a different accommodation, but it was peak season, and there were no suitable alternatives available.
Overall, we feel quite disappointed and a bit misled. The villa does not meet the luxury standards described, and we believe the price should reflect its current condition and should be adjusted.
At this moment we cannot recommend this “luxury” villa.
- Karlie (10/5): Seyðisfjörður is a dream and this location can't be beat! - Hilmer (the host) was amazing! He even made us reservations at the hottest Sushi spot in Iceland. I would absolutely stay here again. We were able to get some laundry done and get a great night's sleep before we camped the next night. This was also the easiest place to access with the digital keypad.
- Gilad (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
- Brian (10/5): Really nice place. - Host is super nice and available for questions/guidance. Very nice place. The neighborhood cat decided to jump in the open window and hang out with us!
- Gordon (9/5): Superb -
- Thomas (9/5): Overall, we had a great time, it's a really lovely place and I can totally recommend it. - Hilmir was really nice and had lots of good recommendations for what to do and where to eat. He was very responsive. The property is spacious and located close to the center of the town. No real complaint. A few hours need to be invested to complete the work on the house. Like in all places we've seen in Iceland, you cannot get a completely dark room.
- Jane (10/5): Tremendous stay. HIGHLY recommend. - Fabulous experience. What a home. The owner has thought of everything for his guests' comfort. What a truly wonderful experience.
- Daranee (10/5): A very pleasant stay - The villa was really nicely designed and had great views. The washing machine and dryer were a bonus after so many days on the road without any!
- Adolfo (10/5): Exceptional - There was plenty of space and everything was very clean.
- Leann (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vinicius (10/5): Amazing!!!!!! - Everything -
- Margaridaaah (10/5): Exceptional - It's a very comfortable and beautiful place. There's all of the amenities we can possibly need.
The host was a delight as well, very nice, helpful and comprehensive.
Heated floor in the main entrance, café machines and drying and washing machines also available. It was a really a modern house with a comfy outlook.
Comfortable beds and big nice dining table.
We loved it. There's no way of locking the bathroom door, and in one of the bedrooms we can't shut the door.
Also the water in the shower was a bit temperamental. But this are just technicalities really. The space is absolutely perfect.
- Anastasia (10/5): Our time in this place was amazing, highly recommend it and will come back for sure! -
- Alexandre (10/5): Our stay at this villa was simply amazing! The view was absolutely stunning and made our experience feel incredibly spec - The place Nothing bad to say
- Ingólfsson (10/5): Exceptional - My recent stay at this villa was an absolute dream come true. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was captivated by the stunning view that stretched over the entire town. It was a sight that took my breath away, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and tranquility. The villa itself was a haven of luxury, with every corner exuding elegance and style. The cozy fireplace added a touch of warmth and comfort, creating the perfect ambiance for relaxation. The furniture was nothing short of luxurious, providing the utmost comfort and sophistication. If you're looking for a memorable getaway with a view that will leave you speechless, this villa is an absolute must-visit.
