Guest Reviews

• Hitesh (10/5): - Clean room
• Alfredo (10/5): - Beautiful apartment with an incredible view! Great location and it had everything we needed! 😊🙏
• ALEXANDER (10/5): - Great studio. Easy for us to move around being a couple. Slept well. The blanket could be smoother like in hotels, instead of feeling corrugated, as a suggestion. Overall, it’s a real fine place to stay with cooking facilities.
• ALEXANDER (10/5): - Great place to stay. Clean and Quiet. We will be back for sure
• estelle (10/5): - super accommodation, beautiful, clean, with everything you need. ultra helpful host, we got a flat tire and he helped us change it. thanks again!!!! :-)
• Sophie (10/5): - Excellent séjour dans ce logement confortable et bien équipé ! Très bonne communication avec les hôtes, merci beaucoup !
• Xiangyang (8/5): - The apartment is clean and the kitchen and well equipped for light cooking. It is easy to communicate with the owner. The only complaint is that the sink in bathroom is too small.

• Diana (10/5): - Absolutely wonderful and stunning views!
• Lorna (10/5): - Beautiful interior, excellent communication. The facilities were excellent and the small touches really made this property stand out. Would return for the views alone but the apartment made the experience even better. What a great find!!!
• Kimberly (10/5): Perfect for small group - Great spot along our travels. Would stay here again.
• Jing (10/5): recomendare - todo ha sido muy bien, teniamos q cambiar por otro apartment y el dueno ha sido muy simpatico y me ha ofrecido uno muy bueno y con descuento.
• Rodrigo (10/5): - El departamento es de buen tamaño con una cocina equipada con todo lo necesario, es tal cual las fotos, con muy buen gusto en general, la cama cómoda aunque las almohadas podrían mejorar, la ubicación es un poco aislada pero perfecta para descansar y ver las northern lights
• Xiaochen (10/5): - Everything is very good
• Hari (10/5): - Hosts were commucating throughout the checkin and property had everything for cozy stay for a family
• WEI MIN (10/5): - Location is the best for observing northern light
• Sheri (8/5): - Very nice studio apartment. Clean, new furnishings, and well equipped. Only complaint was bed was hard and pillows flat.
• Riliang (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay here. It’s cozy, nice and with everything you need. Jon and Edda provided all the information in advance. Highly recommended!
• Jessica (10/5): - The place was easy to find with Google Maps and the instructions for getting in were easy. The apartment was clean and matched the photos very well. The interior was nicely updated. The tea/coffee in the kitchen was a nice treat and access to Netflix on the TV was appreciated!
• Hong (10/5): - Clean. Nice studio. The location is great
• Henrik (8/5): Fin nyistandsat lejlighed - Dejligt sted langt ude på landet, med 360 grader natur omkring én. Lejligheden pæn og ren, udstyret kun lige med det man skal bruge. En god base for udflugter i området.
• Christopher (10/5): - The owners Bob and Edda were very communicative and helpful from the moment we booked. They provided all key information for an easy stay. The room was exactly as portrayed in pictures and the kitchen utensils were well stocked to make small meals. The views were also incredible and the location is perfect for exploring the South Coast of Iceland. HIghly, highly recommend!
• Lorenzo (10/5): - The apartment is very beautiful and extremely cozy. The kitchen is furnished with all the necessary stuff and also in the bathroom you will find soap, if you couldn't travel with any in your luggage. The apartment is slightly detached from the main road and it's perfect to see the Northern lights. Extremely indicated to spend a night in here.
• Daniel (10/5): Un diez - Un lugar agradable, bien equipado y alejado de todo, ideal para ver auroras y estar tranquilo.
• YSALINE (10/5): Super séjour - Logement très mignon, pratique, grand, bien équipé, confortable. Pour l'été, des rideaux aux fenêtres ! Nous avons adoré notre séjour là bas. Au milieu de nul part, idéal pour voir des aurores !
• Lucas (10/5): South Coast Gem - Lovely property in a great location. Easy check on and check out. Nice furnishing and comfortable beds.
• Furman (10/5): - We loved our stay here! The roominess of the upstairs apartment was exactly what we needed during our 2 week trip to Iceland.
• CAROLINA (10/5): Wonderful place to stay near Seljalandfoss - Wonderful apartment in a farm area with all the amenities. Would definitely stay here again!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed the place. It was a perfect central spot for our road trip, so even though it was a little in the middle of nowhere, it was a great location for a few days in the south. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone going to the same area.
• Daina (10/5): - These apartments are in a great location! The family apartment is small but comfortable. There is no washer (that photo must be a different apartment), but had everything else we needed, comfortable beds, and sufficiently dark shades for us. Be aware that you have to climb a set of steep stairs with no handrail to get to the living area (not an issue for us, but may be important for some with accessibility issues). My kids loved the curious lamb that hands around the apartment. Would stay here again.
• Stephanie (10/5): Quiet, rural location with amazing scenery - Very remote location on a sheep farm. Quiet and lovely. The apartment is small but has everything you will need. Would definitely stay again.
• Mark (10/5): A Hidden Gem - It was a clean, spacious and modern two bedroom apartment. The location is convenient to local waterfalls and the setting is remote yet beautiful.
• peng (10/5): - Very clean and functional, kitchen is useful and a very suitable area for the midpoint between the airport and Vik
• Joanna (10/5): - Great views and lovely property but location was a bit off the beaten path which wasn't an issue for us.
• José Luis (6/5): Apartamento correcto... en medio de la nada y caro - El apartamento en sí está bien, pero se encuentra en medio de la nada, en una granja cuyo aspecto desanima al llegar, con algún resto de vehículo a la vista. El precio muy alto si se compara con alternativas similares.
• Nancy (6/5): - The apartment was roomy enough and clean.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Close to our ferry location
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good stop after a trip to the Golden Circle - A nice stay after a trip to the Golden Circle. The apartment is well-equipped, clean and cozy. It's located in a remote area, so it's really dark and quiet at night. We are satisfied overall.
• Susan (10/5): Great place to stay in south Iceland! - We really liked this little studio apartment. It gave us the freedom to come and go as we pleased and we could make our own meals. Everything was modern/new and very comfortable. It was very close to the ring road and thus other places that we wanted to visit. Enjoyed our stay!
• EL (10/5): - The place on Road 247, very close to Seljalandsfos. Beautiful surroundings. The place is clean and the spacious. The owner is very nice.
• Jolanta (10/5): Close to Seljalandfoss - Very nice apartment close to „1” and Seljalandfoss
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We love the location (a little away from the main road but can still see it from our room), the room and the amenities provided in the room. The beds are comfortable and the room is very clean and spacious. Highly recommended.
• Daniel (10/5): - This place was clean and newly built in modern style, and had everything like your home. I found sheeps around the house in the morning, and such a lovely place. We enjoyed.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Kviholmi was fantastic and a hidden gem. If you try to route to this property, Google Maps will try to tell you to go down a road that doesn't exist. Look for a sign by the Ring Road/main road that says "247 Fornusandar 6" and turn onto the gravel road beside this sign. This road looks like it is parallel to the non-existent road on Google. You will see some farmhouses in front of you, further down the road. Keep going straight and then turn left at a sign for Kviholmi. Tip: before coming to Kviholmi, I suggest that you stop for groceries and gas/petrol either in Vik or Hvolsvöllur, depending on the direction you are driving. We really, really enjoyed our stay at Kviholmi apartments. It was simple and clean, and in the middle of a farm, so we got to watch the adorable lambs run around. We also spoke with Gunnar, just about the economy in general, where to eat, and where to find the ferry. He was really nice and made us feel very welcome. Kviholmi was soooo quiet, as well, so we slept really well.
• KenRichards (10/5): - We were pleasantly surprised by the comfort and amenities provided at Kviholmi. The owner Gunnar was at the property when we arrived, so we did not need to use the lockbox checkin. We were upgraded to a larger room. The property has views of the mountains to one side, the Westmann Islands to the other. Sheep gambol in the green fields. Comfortable beds, good bathroom and well equipped kitchen. Top marks all around.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean. The property owner was great as well! Great studio apartment
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice modern and clean apartment. Quiet surroundings. Fast WiFi. Place quite difficult to find especially after sunset
• Sally (8/5): Kvíhólmi apartments - Place was excellent, but a little hard to find. Google did not find it correctly. Maps.me did. A little difficulty with the keybox, but they sorted it out very quickly by sending someone over in less than 10 min. Very clean and comfortable.
• anonymous (10/5): - Home feel. We can see the northern light around the house.
• Andrew (10/5): - This place was great. The nicest place was stayed on our visit. A very large, comfortable apartment along the South Coast of Iceland, near some of the top visited waterfalls. The beds were very comfortable, and the space was large enough to spread out. Free onsite parking. The bathroom appeared to be recently remodeled and the kitchen was really nice. When we pulled up the owner happened to be there, and he was super nice. We had a good discussion and he gave us a good restaurant recommendation. There's only a couple restaurant options within a 20 minute drive, since it is pretty remote, and they close around 9pm (probably earlier in winter). So plan ahead for that. And the road in and out is pretty rough if you rent a tiny car, but it's not far off Highway 1. Overall, great spot. Would highly recommend, and would definitely stay again if we go back.
• Larry (10/5): - Good location. Close to Seljalandsfoss fall. The apartment is comfortable for four adults (2 couples). Washing machine is really helpful. Minor issues: shower drain was partial clugged. Ran out of toilet paper. Messages to manager wasn't answered. Had to call the day before checkin to get the key code. No internet code either. Also had to call to get it. However, resolved quickly after the calls.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Nice accommodation. - Nice location on a farm. Decent accommodation but expensive.
• Jenn (10/5): - Truly a beautiful setting - quiet, in the country, very calming. Pretty, bright, well-decorated apartment. Had some initial glitches making contact with the host, but once we connected Gunnar was wonderful.
• VENUGOPAL B. (8/5): Charming farmhouse near the Ring Road - Charming farmhouse surrounded by farms and sheep. Area does not have much other to offer. We picked it to stay the night on our drive along the Southern Ring Road to the Landeyjahöfn port to take the ferry to Vestmannaeyjar island the next day. Not many dining options nearby except the Gamla Fjosid restaurant, which is quite nice.
• Miguel (2/5): A nightmare in the middle of nowhere - Stay away from this hotel. If you dont set everything up, days in advance, for checking in... FORGET IT!!!.... they never sent me an email giving me the checking details. But the time I arrive to the location, which is in the middle of nowhere, nobody was there. I tried to call the manager of the hotel with no luck. I called Hotels.com and they tried to call the management of the hotel no luck. Result.. I am stranded in the middle of nowhere at night and low temperatures. STAY AWAY
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great stay! - This is a wonderful place to stay that's both in the middle of nowhere but right off Ring Road. It would have been perfect for northern lights viewing if the skies had cleared. We had the two bedroom family apartment. It was very clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed, although extra pillows would have been nice. My email confirmation told us to contact the property ahead of time using the information on the booking confirmation, but we was no such information. The check-in instructions aren't sent until noon on the day of arrival, the host was very nice when I called before that worried I wouldn't be able to check-in. The apartment had a washer, but no dryer, just a drying rack, so we just put our clothes on the heating elements to dry them after getting caught in the rain. There are even friendly adorable horses off the road to the apartments! Unlike another reviewer posted there is no breakfast supplied.
• Patrick (2/5): Not for the faint hearted - We called and emailed for check in info many times ahead of the trip. We had to call again on the day (that we were checking in) and got his voice mail. The owner did send us some cryptic message then but no clear instruction. We ended up having to scramble in the dark. Found his place instead of the apartment. He was good enough to take us there but clearly not happy about it. Don't try this place if you have travel anxiety.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Owner was very friendly and helpful. Room had everything we needed. Very clean. Quiet, beautiful surroundings.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful place to stay! - This hotel is fantastic! People were friendly and helpful, the breakfast spread was perfect, the bar was delicious, and a very reasonable price! Would highly recommend!
• jane (10/5): Excellent location, close to all attractions. - Exceptional experienced, I would highly recommend this place, good place for northern light on a clear skies.
