Guest Reviews
- TZE HUI (8/5): Clean, comfortable, perfectly equipped. - The cabin was incredibly comfortable, clean, and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. Highly recommend!
- Stefano (10/5): Ci tornerei, il miglior alloggio in Islanda fino a questo momento! - Piccola casetta in legno, calda, accogliente e attrezzata davvero di tutto ciò che può servire (lavatrice, lavastoviglie, stendipanni, ecc.) in una zona riservata e facilmente raggiungibile ma con una bella vista.
Fornito tutto il necessario anche per l'area SPA.
Ottimo WiFi.
Rispetto ad altri alloggi le tende della stanza oscurano bene la luce del sole notturno.
Come rapporto qualità/prezzo sicuramente il miglior alloggio in Islanda fino a questo momento: da sfruttare anche per più di una notte!
- Sabrina (10/5): - Hands down the best apartment we had on our trip. It’s a beautiful cabin with access to a sauna and whirlpool. It’s super well equipped, even has a washing machine, and was very cozy with little details in the flat. The landlord was also there when we needed help. Nothing, it was perfect :)
- Stephen (9/5): Great stay in beautiful place - Location and remoteness Tight bedroom with not much storage space
- Maxime (9/5): - Le calme, l’accueil des propriétaires, l’emplacement. Nous n’avons pas eu le temps d’utiliser la partie sauna et jacuzzi mais sûrement que c’est un + (free or not je ne sais pas.. il faut demander car je ne crois pas l’avoir vu dans le livret d’accueil) Un peu exigu même à 2 dans la maison, la cabine douche aurait besoin d’un coup de neuf (+ refaire la peinture.. peindre autour de la baie vitrée ça fait négligé.. surtout quand on voit au travers.. 😅) + changer la vaisselle actuelle serait un +.. car la porcelaine des années 1970 n’est pas très pratique. Du détails mais un petit coup de modernisation serait la bienvenue et justifierai un équilibrage des prix. Belle continuation
- melanie (10/5): - La localisation de la cabane est top.
Les hôtes sont adorables, monsieur est passé dire bonjour, ce que l'on a apprécié.Le petit message de départ aussi est très agréable.
Le jacuzzi est top, pas testé le sauna
On a apprécié la machine à laver qui fait aussi sèche linge.
J'ai passé ma meilleure nuit de mon séjour dans cette petite chambre cosy.
Merci pour tout.
- Paul (10/5): Stunning location, everything you need including patio heater and bbq if you want it. - Personal touch, being greeted by owner. Location beautiful with wonderful views. Was hoping to see Northern Lights but sadly a little cloudy. The hot tub and sauna a lovely touch but didn’t get to use them as only stayed one night, we had already booked Vok Baths which is about 20 mins away by car. Nothing
- Michael (10/5): - Es ist alles auf dem Gelände sehr liebevoll eingerichtet/ dekoriert. Hat alles was man braucht, wenn ma sich selber versorgen will. Waschmaschine, Spülmaschine, Air Fryer sowie Induktionsherd, alles da. Es sind sogar Bademantel für den Gang in die 20m entfernte Sauna bzw. Hot Pot auf dem Bett gelegen.
- Nehir (10/5): - The house was very clean and warm, and the bed was very comfy. We caught an Aurora show here (partially from the hot tub), so the place is definitely remote enough for a good viewing. The house was very well stocked, had everything we did (dishwasher!) and didn't need (e.g. air fryer, blender, and such luxury kitchenware!). The checkout instructions were reasonable unlike what's mentioned in some other comments.
Special note for the hospitality: The host did regular checks to make sure that we were comfortable. On our checkout day, the snow conditions were blocking the roads. They sent us a message saying that we could stay as long as we wanted until we felt safe enough to start driving. We left 3 hours after our regular checkout time and treated ourselves with some more hot tub time.
We highly recommend staying here.
- Anne Stacey (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay. A lot of thought and care has been put into making this cottage a delightful stay on the Ice - This is a beautiful, well appointed little cottage. Nothing.
- Vasilis (10/5): -
- Tuire (9/5): -
- Kevin (9/5): - Alles top, super Lage etwas ausserhalb von Eglistadir, Sauna plus Hottub inklusive, Häusschen top ausgestattet mit allerlei Küchenutensilien, tolle komfortable Betten, Bademäntel, Balkon mit Heizstrahler und Gasgrill.
- Verena (9/5): -
- Baltasar (10/5): -
- Traveller - D (10/5): A unique & comfortable spot to stay! - This is a beautifully designed/decorated place. Although it is on the small side they have done an excellent job of making everything as comfortable as possible. Everything is well thought out and made for a comfortable 1 night stay. Loved the duck lamp! The bed was up against one wall, we missed this in photos when we booked, so our error. This makes it difficult to get out of bed (for the person on that side of the bed) in middle of night. On a positive, if we had caught this we wouldn't have booked this place but still glad we did as it is a really cute place.
- Birgit (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft - Dieses kleine Häuschen ist extrem gut ausgestattet, alles sehr liebevoll drinnen und draußen und sehr ruhig gelegen. Das Highlight ist der Whirlpool. Wir wurden sehr nett begrüßt und auch immer wieder gefragt, ob alles in Ordnung ist. Vielen Dank nochmal für den schönen Aufenthalt! Nix
- Stephanie (10/5): - Es war die beste Unterkunft, die wir seit langem hatten.
So viel Liebe zum Detail und Herrlichkeit.
Es war alles vorhanden, was man dich vorstellen konnte und noch mehr.
Die beiden Gastgeber haben sich sogar persönlich vorgestellt und nachgefragt, ob wir mit allem zufrieden sind und noch etwas brauchen.
Der Hotpot war auch eine 10 von 10.
Temperaturgerulierbar mit Licht und Sprudel.
Die Unterkunft ist eine 12 von 10.
Sollten wir wieder nach Island kommen, kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder:)!
1000 Dank auch für die Flasche Wein
- Clementina (10/5): Ottimo soggiorno! - Cottage molto bello con camera comoda, cucina funzionale e proprietario davvero gentile.
- Rafael (10/5): Chalé tão fantástico que o tempo parece congelar! - O chalé é muito charmoso, aconchegante e cheio de vida. Agora o ponto alto é a localização. Ele tem a varanda de frente para as montanhas. À noite, os sons do ventos às árvores com a visualização ampla da aurora tornaram esse pequeno espaço em um dos lugares mais agradáveis que ficamos na Islândia!
- cedric (9/5): -
- Tom (9/5): We stayed for a week + and used it as a “home base” for exploring the surrounding countryside, including a puffin sanctu - Quiet surroundings and lovely views Full kitchen with washer/ dryer in the cabin. Hiking trails and a waterfall included. Nothing
- Hweehoon (9/5): - We love the secluded location in the woods, with a waterfall right beside the cabin. A very cosy cabin which served as a base for us for 3 nights. It has all the kitchen amenities and we could even do a bbq. The hot tub and sauna in the woods is a treat. Highly recommend.
- Reber (10/5): Spontan gebucht, alles hat super geklappt, meine Tochter und ich verbrachten drei wunderbare Tage. - Die Unterkunft liegt in einem wunderbaren Waldgebiet, alles ist sehr sauber und funktional eingerichtet, der Besitzer ist sehr aufmerksam, unkompliziert und hilfsbereit.
- Walter (10/5): Es hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen. - Das Häuschen war eingerichtet, wie wenn die Besitzer selbst darin wohnen würden. Es fehlte an absolut nichts.
Zu unserer Überraschung hatte es sogar eine Waschmaschine/Tumbler und einen Geschirrspüler.
Die Bank am kleinen Wasserfall lud zum verweilen ein.
In einer Nacht Anfangs September durften wir die Nordlichter am ganzen Himmel sehen. Das Schlafzimmer ist etwas klein, könnte für grössere Personen ein Problem sein.
- Emil (7/5): -
- Odette (10/5): - Schön ruhig, Pool super, sehr gemütlich.. alles top, gerne wieder!
- Olga (10/5): The cosiest place we have ever been - This little house cannot be called luxury, but it is incredibly cozy. We had the best three days of our 2-weeks journey around Iceland in this place. It is especially well equipped with every little detail to make you feel at home and relaxed. The kitchen has everything one might think of. Small but very cozy bedroom, where you feel like in a cradle and don't want to leave. Thank you very much to the owner who has thought of everything with love and care! Very much recommended!!! Nothing to complain. A perfect place to stay.
- Bucher (8/5): Prima Ferienhaus für die sehr vielfältigen Tagesziele in Ostisland. - Wir waren zum 4ten Mal in Kálda Lyngholt. Die neue Küche ist sehr gut. Ebenso die neue Waschmaschine. Die Pflege der Aussenanlage ist auch ganz prima. Die wuchernden Lupinien sind unter Kontrolle. Der Pfad zum Wasserfall ist erneuert. Alles gut, wir kommen wieder.
- Jessica (9/5): - Das kleine Häuschen liegt super idyllisch. Es war sehr sauber, die Ausstattung war sehr gut!
Kostenlos nutzen konnte man zudem einen Hot Tube und eine Sauna.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und reagierte schnell auf Anfragen.
- Kirsa (10/5): So amazing ( although unfortunately for us weather was not great during our stay).so well kitted cabin was much apprecia - Fabulous cabin. So well stocked ( yoga mat for me, coffee machine for husband). Everything has been thought of to ensure your comfort. Host came to greet us personally ( a first for me and I’ve booked many places like this) and came to check everything was fine a couple days into our trip. Sauna and hot tub amazing. No where can be more highly recommended. Nothing
- Xiang (9/5): Superb -
- Petrie (10/5): Excellent base to visit the northeast area - The property was easy to find, and is very well located for day trips around Egilsstaðir. The house was clean, cozy and nicely decorated. There was a washing machine as well, which was very handy. The beds were comfortable. The area was very quiet, a bit outside of Egilsstaðir, but very quick to drive there. From the open area where the cottages are, there is a short path to a jacuzzi (which was spotless) and there is also a sauna. We had a very enjoyable stay.
- Adaixa (10/5): Amazing stay in a beautiful region of Iceland - Everything! Wonderful stay. We wish we could have stayed there for longer.
- Arik (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy place, host was really nice! Hot tub was great after a long day of hiking!
- Edgardo (10/5): Excelent, clean and beautiful cabin! - We loved the cabin and its surroundings. It's secluded enough to feel isolated, yet a five-minute drive from the grocery store, gas station, etc. It was clean and all the appliances were in perfect working order. We cooked dinner and enjoyed the quiet, relaxing atmosphere.
- Nino (10/5): Exceptional - We saw an amazingly big and lasting Aurora borealis. Great place to catch it.
It lasted so long we could hop in the jacuzzi and watch it from there.
The house and the area is comfortable and cute
Overall an amazing experience, all about this house is 10/10
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, especially for watching the Aurora Borealis. Next to a river, the perfect stay. Nothing.
- Sunita (10/5): A wonderful stay! Thank you - Well equipped and very clean Not a thing. It was perfect
- Irina (9/5): Superb - very beautiful house and territory, forest, river very narrow bed, apparently Icelandic standard.
There were no cups for tea at all.
- Tianyu (9/5): Fully-equipped guesthouse for spending a happy private time in the nature - The hot tub and sauna (although near 0 degree it doesn't get hot at all lol), the fully-equipped kitchen (no joke that it had everything and I was impressed) and guesthouse in general, good privacy and a view on the mountains and into the valley, nice natural hair care and body care products provided in the shower The host didn't answer my messages and in the end the father of the host just pass by to check on us, not a big issue but might be frustrating it you would need urgent help. There are LOTS of house rules and high demands from the host on the hygiene and tidiness of the guesthouse even during your stay (it felt a bit tiring that I always have to care about this because I do follow the rules), finally I think the price is a bit high for the offer but I guess it's because of the sauna and hot tub features provided!
- Theresa (8/5): good stay - privacy, quiet
- Uri (10/5): I recommend - Very homey and well maintained. We had a great time, the place is very cozy and next to nature None
- Elizabeth (10/5): Wonderful hosts and wonderful facilities! - Lovely hot tub, sauna, and a heated glass-topped 'greenhouse' to use to view the aurora borealis in cooler weather. The cabins are situated along a couple of paths good for walking or taking a jog.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Unique location and warm hospitality. Yoghurt was delicious. Nothing
- Cohen (10/5): Exceptional - Everything!
The location, the beautiful, cozy and clean cabin that have anything you will need for the staying ❤️
That was a special time for us!! Nothing!
- Sapna (10/5): One of our best stays in Iceland! - The property is located in beautiful and natural surroundings. one of our best stays in Iceland! to top it all the owner Asdis is a wonderful person who had great tips and was always available for help. She makes yummy chia and fruit yoghurt! The property has a hot tub in the beautiful outdoors and we had the most relaxing time enjoying it! A must go place if you plan to be in the area!
- Jung (10/5): Staying Kalda Lyngholt was a highlight of my two week trip to Iceland. - I loved everything about my stay at Kalda Lyngholt. The quaint cabin & property had everything I needed plus a number of Icelandic books and curios that reflected the character of the country and the host. The hot tub and sauna were DIVINE! I felt no need to go to more touristy hot springs when I had this private oasis.
Asdis, the host was amazing and generous. She has a BIG heart! Her warm welcome, knowledge & insider’s tips of the area, kindness, and generosity gave me a wonderful sense of the Icelandic people and were incredibly helpful.
I also loved hiking and walking in the larger property, with its own waterfall and beautiful native grasses and flowers. Did I mention the hot tub and sauna?
- Blanka (10/5): Exceptional -
- Morten (10/5): Exceptional -
- Celine (9/5): Wonderful place to relax, host with little attentions to her guests - Wonderful little cabin in nature but close to grocery and a little town. Very well equiped with everything to cook, to wash your laundry, to relax, enjoy the view. Beautifully decorated, with a great philosophy of life and even a yoga mattress. Just missed bowls for the morning
- Jo (10/5): Asdis & Ivor were the perfect host, giving us our space but providing us with a warm welcome & local tips x - everything nothing
- Vickie (10/5): Asdis has created a wonderful space to relax and get away from it all! There are special touches like the yummy yogurt a - Our group had all three cottages so we had the whole place to ourselves which was a treat! The cottages were so cute and comfy and had everything you could possibly need (even a rice cooker!)! Nothing!
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Esther (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place, cozy cottage, nice host, some extras (yoghurt, chocolate,...) and we were lucky to see northern lights.
- Eric (10/5): Paradise in the woods - Cabin was whimsically decorated making them feel so cozy. The hostess delivered fresh yogurt everyday. There was a beautiful stream and luttle waterfall flowing through the forest with beautuful views if the valley from the cabin. We were in Iceland for 10 days and this was the best place. I woukd travel to Eggilstadir just to stay here give it a 20 rating on 10 point scake. Oh.. and private reserved times in sauna and jacuzzi are so welcome at end of the day. Perfection.loved it all
- Rán (10/5): Exceptional -
