Guest Reviews
- Massi (10/5): - Everything was perfect
- Rieke (9/5): -
- Alexander (8/5): - Mooi appartement, dicht bij het centrum/haventje gelegen. En toch lekker rustig.
- Isabelle (10/5): - Très bons équipements, salon extérieur, café,thé, bonne literie
Proche de la mer, supérette,et restaurants
Super Rien
- Peter (10/5): Stylish apartment in a wonderful town - Wonderful apartment that was beautifully decorated with everything you could want: kitchen, washer/dryer, comfortable sofa and an easy walk to shops, restaurants, museums in Husavik.
- Albertje (10/5): Geweldig verblijf - Goede locatie, makkelijke check-in, alles aanwezig voor een prettig verblijf. Niets.
- Else (9/5): -
- Tom (10/5): -
- Christa (10/5): - Enorm genoten van dit fijne appartement: lekker bed, fijne douche, top dat er een wasmachine en droger was. Niets
- Robert (10/5): Snow In May ? - Everything was excellent. I had the only room without laundry facilities and I needed to wash my clothes. The staff collected my laundry, washed and dried it and returned it to me in three hours, for no extra charge. Maybe not their usual practice, but I was so very grateful. The location is great, with a cafe next door and Fosshotel across the road where you can walk in and buy breakfast or dinner even if not a guest of that hotel. Barely 200 metres from the classic old church on the main road and the harbour. Great location. All the snow in May made negotiating the exterior wooden stairs up to my room a little tricky, but that was Mother Nature, no fault of the premises. I was happy there and really have nothing unlikeable to report.
- Iet (9/5): -
- Webb (10/5): Clean, comfortable, with Nordic charm. - You can't get much more into the heart of Husavik than staying at Skalfandi. The apartment was clean with a great bed, great shower, and easy access. The host was responsive (calling back even while he was watching a movie in Akureyri.) Also, I've never seen an apartment with so many power outlets-nice! Next door to the apartment is a wonderful coffee and snacks shop. We went in the winter, so I also can recommend how good a job the city does with snowplows. Virtually every booking.com place we've stayed in could have used more and brighter lighting, and this place (except around the bedroom) was like that, too.
- Lora (8/5): It was an uncomfortable stay. I slept on a roll out bed. - The garden was very nice. The chairs need to be replaced. We needed a fan for air circulation and a roll of paper towels would have been nice.
- Singhal (8/5): It was nyce and cozy! Just cutlery was missing and heater wasnt working well rest alll was great -
- Lorena (10/5): Fantastico - Al llegar la estancia algo fría
Faltarían enchufes cerca camas para cargar móviles noche
- Cara (10/5): This apartment is fantastic. Very roomy, comfortable. Easily walkable to the restaurants/harbor. - Location was great - easily walkable to main stores and restaurants in Husavik. Apartment was beautiful. Lots of space, kitchen well appointed. Washer and dryer. Would definitely stay here again if we were ever going back. Nothing
- Mihnea-Sebastian (10/5): Perfect - The apartment was very nice, spacious and very clean, located on a quiet street just 3 minutes from the harbor. The hosts were very friendly and responded instantly. When we arrived, it was quite cold in the apartment, so we called them, and they immediately told us how we could heat the apartment.All the windows have curtains and the internet connection is very good. They also offered us a 10% discount for whale watching. Everything was very good, but it could use a rack to leave the dishes to dry
- Monique (5/5): Bof à éviter... - la situation de la chambre, sa grandeur, son frigo et sa douche. Un seul évier complètement bouché, une fenêtre ouverte très difficile à fermer, un sol collant et tâché, les draps étaient propres, mais le sol n'avait pas du voir la serpillère depuis très longtemps. Très cher pour un confort très faible.
- Shouhua (6/5): -
- BO RONG (9/5): 很好 - 環境很好 廚具也不錯 衛浴設備也很好 無
- Lisa (10/5): Great place, would stay again! - We stayed 2 nights half way through our 10 day trip exploring northern Iceland. Appreciated being able to do laundry (washer and dryer). This was the largest accommodation on our trip and we loved having the extra space to relax and prepare meals/eat-in. Even though this apartment is surrounded by other buildings, we were able to see the northern lights while sitting at the kitchen table. The bed was comfy, as was the couch. Well appointed kitchen. Really nice bathroom/shower. 5 minute walk to the whale watch port area (discount to one provided by host). The key/front door access requires 2 hands and a bit of fumbling. None of our accommodations in Iceland used a keypad/door knob entry as is common in the USA. Maybe that simple concept will make its way to this beautiful country someday.
- Aixa (10/5): Excelente - Amplio, bonito y con todo lo necesario para una estancia con todas las comodidades. Cuenta con lavadora y secadora, cafetera, cama cómodas, buena calefacción, cerca del puerto y de los restaurantes. Todo genial
- Inga (10/5): Drei Tage fast wie in den eigenen vier Wänden - Superschöne Ferienwohnung im Erdgeschoss eines kleinen Apartmenthauses. Gut eingerichtet, viel Platz für zwei Personen. Wir hatten ein Problem, die Besteckschublade zu finden, aber auf unseren Anruf wurde innerhalb von wenigen Minuten reagiert und es kam jemand, der sie uns zeigte (Spoiler: Es ist eine Innenschublade in einer der größeren Schubladen). Wir hatten drei tolle Tage dort, und konnten einen Regennachmittag gut aussitzen.
Insgesamt gut ausgestattet - es war alles vorhanden von Spülmaschinentabs bis zu Waschmittel. Nichts! Das Küchenmesser hätte schärfer sein können, aber das war es auch.
- Duarte (1/5): -
- Tracy (6/5): Beautiful apartment, expensive, thin walls, need to implement quiet hours. - Beautiful luxurious apartment. It’s apparent that the hosts equipped the apartment with everything that a guest may need for their stay. Great attention to detail. The washer/dryer combo took too long to do a full load (+5/6 hours). We had the unfortunate luck of having a large party above us. They were talking and playing music until 2am and we could hear everything. The apartment faces the front of the street so for our one night stay, we had numerous guests attempt to enter our apartment thinking it was theirs.
- miguel (8/5): -
- Monica (10/5): Perfect Stay - Location is perfect. Clean, and the facilities, it is everything you need. Stove, dishwasher, washing machine. Close to Geosea Thermal Bath. Everything worked well. Nothing.
- Mark (10/5): Excellent relaxing stay at a good price! - Very comfortable and homey. Bed and pillows were perfect. Shower was roomy and water pressure was good. Upstairs
- Jihad (10/5): Well maintained Modern studio apartment. Wish we had stayed for more days here. - Nice chic apartment with all privacy and facilities. Nothing
- Yuen Wah (9/5): -
- Silvia (9/5): -
- LUCA (8/5): -
- Nina (8/5): - Parkplätze direkt vor dem Haus, durften ihn auch bis nachmittags nutzen da wir nach dem auschecken noch eine Whalewatching Tour gebucht hatten. Self-Checkin. Restaurants und Cafés fussläufig. Zu wenig Steckdosen im Apartment, mussten etwas ausstecken um 2 Geräte gleichzeitig laden zu können.
- Elisa (10/5): -
- Sigurþór Hólm (9/5): -
- SIMONA (8/5): - Posizione ottima-bellissima camera ,grande ,bel bagno tutto nuovo
- ALICIA (6/5): Húsavík n’est pas selon nous une ville qui a besoin de nuits sur place - Emplacement idéal face au port, petite terrasse logement 2nd étage Décoration sombre
- Irina (10/5): - Localização
- ATHANASIOS (10/5): - Τέλεια τοποθεσία!!από πάνω μας το βράδυ εμφανίστηκε το σέλας!!
- Margherita (9/5): - La struttura è in centro, vicino al porto. Aveva un bel giardino con tavolino e sedie per stare all’esterno. Esteticamente è un appartamento molto bello e con cucina funzionale. Il divano letto era piccolo per due persone adulte. Inoltre mancavano federa e asciugamani per una persona.
- Blovsky (7/5): - Kousek od přístavu, samostatný vchod do apartmánu, na pokoji malý kávovar na kapsle, ticho.
- emma (9/5): Appartamento molto comodo , facile da trovare seguendo le indicazioni dell’host , tutto molto curato e nuovo , cucina be - Grandezza e comodità degli ambienti , cucina molto grande e attrezzata , tranquillità della zona . L’interno di design tutto nero molto fashion ma un po’ cupo
- MORLAT (10/5): - établissement proche des activités liées aux baleines (départ à moins de 3 min à pieds. intérieur très agréable et fonctionnel. Le parking devant l'hébergement est un plus
- Stef_10 (9/5): -

- Thomas (9/5): - Όλα πολυ ωραία Λίγο ακριβό
- ds (10/5): Empfehlenswert - Perfekte Lage, ruhig und sehr schöne Ausstattung.
- Rossella (10/5): Splendido appartamento - Splendido appartamento, curato nei dettagli e spazioso, ottimo per 4 persone.
In casa era presente tutto il necessario, lavatrice e asciugatrice (ottimo essendo a metà del viaggio), pentole e utensili per la cucina.
Posizione vicino a tutto quello necessario e al centro di questa piccola e favolosa cittadina, porto per le escursioni a 200mt. Nulla da segnalare
- Lorenzo (9/5): Appartamento Foss bellissimo - Abbiamo preso due appartamenti. Quello grande veramente fantastico, spazi belli, grandi ed eleganti. Veramente una bella casa L’appartamento per due è un poco buoi
- Nina (10/5): Tutto super! - Abbiamo soggiornato in due appartamenti entrambi molto belli e funzionali. La posizione è ottima: vicinissima al porto e con parcheggio adiacente gratuito. Gli spazi interni sono ampi e vivibili, ogni appartamento dispone anche di spazio all'esterno privato dove poter mangiare o prendere il sole. La cucina ha tutto il necessario, compresa una comodissima lavapiatti. I letti sono comodi, incluso il divano letto. Il bagno è ampio con una bella doccia. Una delle migliori sistemazioni del nostro viaggio in Islanda.
- Maximo (9/5): -

Chambre design avec canapé et beaucoup de place.
- Lindsay (9/5): -
- Alice (9/5): - Molto bella la zona giorno, camere essenziali ma pulite. Divano comodissimo e vetrate spettacolari. Un solo bagno è un po' poco ma comunque gestibile.

- Trisha (8/5): Perfect location for whale watching at Gentle Giants. Thank you - Great property, great location. Everything was great. Couldn’t get the large blind to stay down so it was up both nights. That was only concern. Everything else was great!
- Estelle (8/5): Très bel appartement - Parking gratuit et proximité centre ville, appartement très spacieux
- Theo (8/5): Relaxed verblijf - Goede locatie en op loopafastand van haven.
Indien je wat minder mobiel bent is het sjouwen van je koffers naar de 1e verd niet handig
- Giedre (10/5): - Wonderful, well-equipped, spacious apartments in the very center of the city.
- Matthias (9/5): -
- zhu rong (8/5): - 厨房怎么没有抹布和面巾纸?
- Ronit Aharon (10/5): מושלם‼️ - הכל היה מושלם! הבעלים חשבו על הכל. החל ממכונת כביסה ומכונת ייבוש, טוסטר, תנור, מיקרו, מדיח כלים מחבתות וכל מה שנדרש להכנת ארוחת ערב למשפחה. היתה לנו שאלה לשאול את הבעלים ונענינו מיד.
והמיקום - 5 דקות מסופר.
- Erin Walborn (10/5): Wonderful - This was in a great location, much larger than I expected. comfortable, large tv. very spacious and clean. Great laundry. Very much appreciated this apartment.

- Athanasios (8/5): -
- Christian (9/5): -
- Gerhard (9/5): Modernes schönes Apartment im Zentrum - Sehr modern eingerichtete Ferienwohnung, es ist eine Freude, dort zu kochen und zu schlafen. Zentral gelegen zu allen Dingen, die man dort unternehmen möchte, man parkt direkt vor dem Haus Menschen nehmen Dich nicht in Empfang, alles anonym, aber funktioniert. Die Bestecke, Teller und Töpfe sind unterste IKEA-Qualität und könnten mal erneuert werden.
- Andrea (10/5): - Struttura moderna, elegante e curata in ogni minimo dettaglio.
Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo
- Maria (10/5): -
- Giulia (7/5): Nice stay but few improvements can be implemented - The apartment is big and in a good location in Húsavík. Really nice to have the outdoor space especially in summer. Improvement points:
- the heater in the bathroom was not working at all (cold)
- the kitchen was well equipped in terms of cutlery and crockery but sponge and kitchen detergent were missing
-not all cutlery was very clean
- washing machine was extremely noisy
- Gerald (10/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Mooi appartement in het centrum van Husavik - De locatie bij het centrum is geweldig. Binnen enkele minuten ben je bij restaurants en de haven waar de walvistochten vertrekken. De kamer was van alle gemakken voorzien, een heerlijk ruime douche, terras met zitje. We kregen maar een handdoek per persoon voor een verblijf van twee nachten. Dat was wat weinig.
- Claire (9/5): Great location and cute little place - This was a very cute little "apartment" (room with bed, closet, bathroom, sitting area, kettle, and mini-fridge). It was on the second floor and had a little patio area. Great location, a very short walk to the whale watching tour area and the church. There was a little convenience store nearby as well, one of the few stores we encountered that was open until 10pm, which was great. No concerns with the property, it was just a little expensive overall. Next time I think we will filter to only consider properties that include some type of breakfast, as many stores in Iceland do not open until 10am and we were always on the road much earlier than that.
- Michel (9/5): J’aime bien Husavik - Belle appartement, j’aime la disposition des pièces. Bien équipé avec un lave-linge et un vrai sèche-linge (une sécheuse en québécois).
Grand parking. Proche du port. Le joint de caoutchouc du lave-linge était plus que dû pour un bon nettoyage.
- Georgiana (10/5): - The apartment was spacious and clean. We stayed only for one night, but we would have been very comfortable if we were to stay a longer time.
The kitchen was well equipped with a microwave, coffee machine, and toaster. There was also a washing machine.
- flynn (10/5): Beautiful property - Clean central location. Nothing
- Ronelee (10/5): Lovely and comfortable stay! - It was a very modern and spacious unit. Loved it. Value for money would have been better if there was a view with it.
- Marios (10/5): - Great location in the centre of Husavik, just a short walk to the port where all the boats for the whale watching are leaving. Fully equipped kitchen that can be very useful if you are planning to cook during the stay. We enjoyed the chance to wash some clothes which helped us plan from the beginning with reduced number of clothes. Nothing to complain about
- Caroline (8/5): - Das Appartement war sehr sauber und ist toll eingerichtet. Die Lage ist super. Der Vermieter war super nett. Die Ausstattung war etwas knapp gehalten. 2 Gabeln, 2 Gläser… für den Preis leider nur einen Wasserkocher, keine Mikrowelle etc.
- GEMA (9/5): - Cama fantástica, cortinas para que no entrase luz y muy buena ubicación a 5 minutos caminando del puerto y de restaurantes.
Cafetera, tetera y nevera por si hay que enfriar productos perecederos o cervezas...
- Marion (6/5): Waren nur eine Nacht da, das ging, länger wollte ich da nicht übernachten - Freundliches Personal an der Rezeption. Es war sauber Das Hotel sieht außen sehr runter gekommen aus.
- Jeroen (8/5): -
- Maud (9/5): - Nice little City, close to walk Took a while to get the door key!!
- Julee (10/5): Happy stay in Husavik - We loved everything about this place. We stayed in Fjara which was a studio on the ground floor. It was brilliant. They truly have thought of everything to make it a comfortable couple night stay. The location is fantastic and easily walking distance for most things in Husavik and great location for exploring the north. Wish we had booked more time here. Can’t wait to stay again. Nothing!
- Agustin (9/5): -
- Luca (9/5): -
- Radan (10/5): Amazing. - Everything. It’s really clean and nice. The facilities are great. The location is great. Thank you for sharing with us. Nothing
