Guest Reviews
- Cristina (10/5): -
- Jasmine (9/5): Great find, wonderful location, cosy and modern. Would definitely come back. - Great location for the property, very clean and cosy, and quite new. The shared kitchen and dining facilities were very spacious and had plenty of utensils, cutlery etc. and even a BBQ. Also had a guitar in the lounge area.
Friendly little dog as well on the property.
Would easily recommend this place.
- Sara (9/5): Vista stupenda in perfetto stile islandese - Vista spettacolare e spazi ben organizzati e puliti. La cucina in comune grande e spaziosa ottima per potersi organizzare con i pasti. Posizione eccellente a 5 minuti dai gayser. Tutto perfetto Non abbiamo incontrato nessuno dello staff in quanto il check in viene fatto in autonomia ma non è una criticità così grande.
- Piotr (10/5): - Lokalizacja. Wielkość. Wyposażenie. Sąsiedztwo koni : ) Wszystko było idealnie.
- Siu On (6/5): -
- Anja (9/5): - Die Lage zwischen Strokkur Gysir und Gullfoss war super. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet mit Spülmaschine. Das Zimmer hatte viel Platz. Der Ausblick aus dem Zimmer Richtung Pferdekoppel war schön. Die Betten waren verhältnismäßig etwas schmal.
- NIOVI (8/5): Ευχάριστη διαμονή. - Μείναμε αρκετά ευχαριστημένοι. Ωραία εμπειρία και άμεση ανταπόκριση από το προσωπικό. Αν θέλετε να παρατηρήσετε το βόρειο σέλας ζητήστε βορινό δωμάτιο. Το μόνο που μας έλειψε είναι καφετιέρα για καφέ φίλτρου.
- Eline (8/5): - Très belle chambre au calme, propre et spacieuse, avec une belle salle de bain. Les équipements sont de qualité même si la cuisine est partagée. Attention: Entrée glissante avec la neige. On peut facilement entendre les autres occupants de la maison aussi avec les portes qui claquent.
- MIRIAM (10/5): - Lo que más nos gusto fue la tranquilidad y la ubicación.
La habitación era muy bonita con grandes ventanales y la cama súper cómoda.
Al día siguiente hacia muy mal tiempo y nos dejaron quedaron hasta que el tiempo mejoró.
- Nomad (5/5): - Nice location and clean room Very hard beds, couldn’t sleep and got back/neck pain. Shower with low water pressure
- Claudia (9/5): Cottage molto accogliente, poco fuori dalla strada principale. É stato molto suggestivo dormirci durante un abbondante n - Sia la camera che la sala comune erano nuove, accoglienti e super accessoriate. Cucina molto grande considerato che le camere totali sono solo 6.

Franchement 10/10 De ne pas avoir prévu de rester plus longtemps
Sinon rien à redire tout est parfait
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- enrico (10/5): -
- Fallon (9/5): Nice stay in the golden circle!! - Like to see the horses. Good
- Tatiana (10/5): - Everything is brand new and very nicely decorated. The place is calm, beatufil and cosy. Stunning view and horses all around give additial charm to this place.
- Mun Foon (10/5): Excellent property. Nicely designed. Good location. Would stay there again. - Exceptional property. Scandinavian style and looks newly built. Awesome shared kitchen not your standard design kitchen. We did not use it but there is a coffee machine in kitchen. Nice furniture in shared lounge. Good size modern bathroom and even a small fridge in the room which is useful as fridges in shared kitchen can be full if many guests. When we were there there seems to be only one other couple and so was rather luxurious space. Lovely outlook and close to Gullfoss and yet feels remote. Easy self check in. Nothing. Only possible improvement would be to add hooks to bathroom.
- Chan (8/5): - All facilities are good. A large cooking area!
- Vanessa (10/5): -
- Dshamilya (10/5): - Schöne und moderne Unterkunft.
- Victoria (10/5): - Todo.. nos sentimos como en casa.. ubicación perfecta!! Fue todo perfecto
- FrancoY (10/5): - Muy buena ubicación cercano a los lugares turísticos del golden circle. La cabaña es muy bonita, espaciosa y limpia.
Recomendado
- Pascal (10/5): nice, modern, clean - spotless, very nice communal area/kitchen, location close to geysir and amazing hot spring a reasonable drive away on the pricier side but we had the whole place to ourselves which was amazing
- Françoise (9/5): Un séjour au calme entre Geysir et Gulfoss. - La chambre cosy, très spacieuse et confortable, l’immense cuisine commune avec des équipements 3 étoiles. Le calme. La vue sur les chevaux et les moutons qui broutent dans les prairies derrière la maison. Rien
- Susan (10/5): Excellent stay.would have stayed longer - Delightful surprise
- Female traveller (10/5): - Great location, clean, well equipped kitchen. Plenty of space. Lights on the outside make the location easy to find the house, but make viewing the Northern Lights a bit more difficult.
- AYOZE (8/5): -
- Doug (10/5): Perfect, highly recommend. - Amazing location and very comfortable rooms. The area around the cabin is beautiful too and we were able to see the Northern Lights!
- Eugenio (10/5): Una accogliente camera con bagni privati e cucina condivisa in una posizione molto strategica per le visite. - La posizione ed i servizi Nulla in particolare
- Alice (10/5): -
- Kim (8/5): Heel mooi - Prachtig ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien.
Mooie locatie. Het was wat gehorig. Op het moment dat er iemand die de gang liep voelde je het dreunen.
- Rene (10/5): -
- Laure (9/5): Simple yet amazing countryside stay - What a beautiful accommodation in the middle of the wild. Loved the cabin, the kitchen and the two lovely horses.
- Bell_C (10/5): - Big and clean kitchen, easy self check in, parking on premise
- Simone (8/5): - Posizione e pulizia, perfetta per vedere l’aurora Uso improprio della cucina da parte di un gruppo di cinesi. Puzza per tutta la sera/notte terribile. Peccato
- Steven (10/5): - Nice and clean room very comfortable great location for the northern lights
Only downside to our stay was the shared kitchen when the only night we cooked for ourselves there wasn't any clean crockery as the dishwasher was stacked up and hadn't been put on cycle so had to was dishes before we could cook Having to wash dishes before being able to eat
- jean pierre (10/5): Un établissement exceptionnel - Une maison résolument moderne disposant de vastes locaux communs et d'équipement de cuisine exceptionnel. Très bien située à proximité de deux sites emblématiques du Cercle d'Or La possibilité de disposer d'une cuisine bien équipée n'est pas clairement mentionné.
- Hai (10/5): - Lovely place. Very close to all the attractions of the region. Only 4 kms to geysers and 10 minutes to Gullfoss. Great place to view aurora, even we couldn't see it due to cloudy. Very clean and comfortable. Lovely design. NA
- LINA (10/5): - Very fast response from property, very friendly & nice view from our room
- ROBERT (10/5): -
- Maria (8/5): BELLISSIMO - Le camere sono nuovissime e molto accoglienti, in camera si hanno a disposizione quattro cialde del caffè indispensabili 😊 e tisane. C’è una cucina molto grande in comune a disposizione per tutti gli ospiti. Direi nulla, se non il fatto di avere una cucina in comune che spesso può capitare di ritrovarla non pulitissima in quanto utilizzata da diverse persone tutti i giorni
- Joyann (10/5): - It’s wildly close to Gullfoss, in a beautiful setting and there are horses in the vicinity!
- Lionel (8/5): Belle expérience - Bien situé, au calme. Chambre moderne, literie confortable. Salle de bains bien équipée et grande salle à manger commune avec tout le nécessaire pour faire à manger (à condition d'avoir fait des provisions avant) - les instructions pour le self checking étaient claires. Pour profiter de la cuisine il faudra vous organiser car le supermarché le plus proche est à 30 min de route. Le logement est donc assez isolé même si deux sites touristiques très proches offre une solution alternative pour manger. Le plancher est très bruyant et ça résonne facilement quand on marche. Vous n'avez plus qu'à espérer que vos voisins de palier soient discrets.
- Léa (10/5): Super séjour - Tout était super, très bien placé, facile à trouvé avec les indications reçu.
Arrivée autonome.
La chambre et sdb est très belle, et donne sur une superbe vue. Rien
- Liudmyla (10/5): - Все нове, зручне, функціональне. Дуже чисто і затишно. Багато уваги до деталей. Високоякісне обладнання на кухні, дуже якісна сантехніка.
- graf (9/5): - Sehr moderne Ausstattung, sehr sauber, man hat sich gleich wohl gefühlt. Kochmöglichkeiten und alles dafür vorhanden.
- Antonio (7/5): -
- Nelson (9/5): -
- nathalie (9/5): Allez y les yeux fermés - Très jolie chambre hyper calme , très propre, dosettes de café et thé, vue sur la nature
Ne pas oublier de mentionner la grande cuisine complète à disposition Nous n’avons pas trouvé ni le code du wifi( reçu par la propriétaire après demande) ni le manuel de fonctionnement de la télé mais ce n’était pas très important
- Jasmin (9/5): - sehr schöne und modern eingerichtete Zimmer
- Jacinta (10/5): - Un posto tranquillo, esattamente quello che cercavamo, anche se tutto è spettacolarmente tranquillo dopo essere arrivati dall'Italia, è il modo migliore per riposare la mente... un soggiorno meraviglioso! Perfetto tutto
- bettina (9/5): - God udsigt, pænt, rent og nem parkering, ankomst og afrejse.
- Pierre-Hugo (9/5): -
- Leonhard (9/5): -
- Uta (9/5): -
- Domenico (9/5): Nuovissime stanze. Spazi comuni ben attrezzati. Ampie vetrate. - Ampia camera luminosa. Arredamento moderno e curato. Bellissima cucina in comune con grande isola.
- Juan Antonio (10/5): - La zona común es muy amplia. La cocina fantástica. Hecho de menos un extractor de humos. Aunque supongo no se cocina mucho. La Cafetera es magnífica. Tal vez podría tener algún sofá más. Hay espacio. Y un trípode plegable para apoyar la segunda maleta. Pero muy bien
- Michiel (8/5): -
- MARIA ROSA (10/5): El mejor alojamiento de nuestro viaje a Islandia - Alojamiento espacioso y decorado con mucho encanto ubicado en un entorno muy bonito. Y muy cerca de los geysers y de la cascada. Habitación y baño amplio, cómodo, bonito y limpio. Al igual que las zonas comunes. Salón comedor cocina equipado con todo lo necesario. Por tema higiene propongo una funda protectora para el colchón. El colchón sólo disponía de la sábana bajera.
- Menno (8/5): Zeer mooie kamers met badkamer met grote gezamenlijke ruimte met uitgebreide keuken ideaal gelegen voor Golden Circle to - Mooie nieuwe kamers met fijne badkamers. Zeer ruime gezamenlijke ruimte met uitgebreide kookmogelijkheden Gehorig, deuren slaan automatisch hard dicht
- Nuria (9/5): -
- Sara (9/5): Tranquillità e natura - La nostra stanza e tutto il complesso era molto curato e dotata di tutto il necessario, molto silenzioso e con una vista spettacolare! La camera è provvista di bollitore, e macchinetta del caffè! Tutto stupendo! -
- Maria (10/5): Piacevolissima sia la stanza che la zona comune, molto luminosa ed in un’ottima posizione -
- Manfred (9/5): - Lage nahe Gullfoss und vor Kjölur-Route war praktisch.
- Cristina (10/5): -
- yishay (8/5): מיקום טוב, נוח, מתאים לבישול עצמי -
- Cristina (10/5): - Posizione ottima per visitare due punti del circolo d’oro, stanza grande, letto comodo panorama bellissimo sulla fattoria e le montagne!
- Man (8/5): Pleasant stay - Clean. Spacious sitting, dining area. Well-equipped kitchen. Flies.
Window is fixed. No ventilation.
- Tauany (10/5): Exceptional -
- Angelica (7/5): Good - The curtains are not blackout and one was broken. Also, the room was not soundproof at all
- Jonatan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lydia (10/5): Clean and comfortable place for overnight -
- Jakkrit (9/5): Superb -
- Tom (9/5): Superb - It was very clean, and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. It’s nice to have a private entrance into the room directly. Good distance from the major attractions. Nice lounge and shared kitchen Coffee machine didn’t work. And no instructions to use it. Smell of stale food in the kitchen. Another sofa for the size of the lounge would’ve been good.
- Gregory (9/5): Easy, clean, efficient, loved the wildlife. - Very quiet, many horses and animal— very few humans Very clean, etc.— just a bit pricey, but that’s Iceland?
- Maksim (10/5): Exceptional - The location is cozy, beautifully located and well designed.
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matej (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chun-mei (8/5): Love it! Relax and enjoyable view of landscape - Spacious kitchen and living room, huge landscape with horses The door from public area to bedroom area made loud noise when closing
- James (10/5): Exceptional - Extremely clean. Scandinavian country vibe. Modern.
- Hans (8/5): Very good -
- Petrie (10/5): Quiet comfortable stay in convenient location - Easy check-in, quick wapp response to question. Very new building, so everything still nice and new. Room was of a good size, everything was very clean. Comfortable beds, great shower. Room has outside door which leads onto a patio. Nice views outside of the mountains and also some horses nearby. Very big and clean shared kitchen area, that also includes a sitting area with couches. Great location, very near Gullfoss waterfall. We did not use the kitchen for dinner, only for breakfast, and it had everything we needed. We were the only guests which made for a lovely quiet stay. There is no window to open in the bedroom. If you do not want to keep the door fully open during the night, it can be made to lock in a position where it is open about 1 cm to let in some air. There is a small window in the bathroom.
- Tereza (10/5): Amazing place in a geysir district - Extremely neat and tidy. A wonderful view to a landscape. Very helpful owner. Large dinning room with kitchen, well equipped. We heard our neighbours, walls are really thin
- Tommaso (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna (10/5): Fabulous - Clean tidy and very quiet
- Sigurthorsson (10/5): Excellent, brand new and great value for money! - The property is brand new, and the room was as nice and comfortable as that of a much fancier hotel. Location is also beautiful.
- Barry (10/5): Exceptional -
- Victoria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jenny (10/5): Great golden circle option - Large communal kitchen area with all the facilities you will need to self cater.large comfy rooms with large ensuite. Right next to gulfoss/geysers Nothing
- Nikolai (9/5): Superb - Great location, clean, and quiet.
- Pelin (8/5): Good - It is very close to the main attractions. We booked very early so the price was also reasonable. We went in winter and heating was working good. Very new place, clean, kitchen was fully equipped as well. I would suggest to open the windows in the main area for some time or using some air sprays. There is this unpleasant smell.
- Lira (10/5): A nice well equipped stay in a dark and secluded spot but close enough to Geyser for convenience. - The property was really nice and the kitchen was well equipped and the rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The host addressed an issue we had quickly. The sign outside isn’t easy to see at night so we passed the house and ended up asking at another house about the location.
- Littleton (7/5): Good - Lucky enough to be the only ones there, has all facilities needed, very big kitchen & lounge area. Room was quite small but still nice and clean. Location is good but there are a few cabins in the same area so a bit hard to see as it was dark.
- K (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mir. (9/5): Superb -
- Stan (9/5): Superb -
- Iris (10/5): Exceptional -
