• celine (10/5): -
• C (8/5): - Bij aankomst was het in huis lekker warm zelfs de hottub was al voor ons verwarmt. Het voelde voor ons al welkom Het uitzicht is prachtig Het matras dat lag niet lekker(kuil)
• jens (10/5): Ein traumhafter Start - Top Lage, absolute Ruhe, Besuche von Katze und Hunden Prima hot Tub Unkomplizierter Kontakt zu Vermietern
• Jari (9/5): 60-v juhlamatka - Sijainti loistava.Olohuoneesta avautuivat kauniit, avarat maisemat pelloille. Hevoset oli ihania! Keittiö hyvä, astioita riittävästi 6 hengelle. Tiskikone, pesukone ja kuivausrumpu toimivat hyvin. Kylpypaljussa oli ihana makoilla. Olohuoneen ja keittiön kalustus 6 hengelle riittävä. Kaikin puolin loistava majapaikka! 6 aikuiselle vain yksi wc/suihkutila ruuhkautui ajoittain! Toinen wc olisi hyvä lisä!
• Marcella (9/5): - La casa era ben strutturata e accogliente. Molto piacevole il bagno nella vasca esterna
• Nadir (10/5): Lovely cozy house ! - Everything !
• Anja (9/5): - Der Ort, die Lage, die Einsamkeit, die Natur, der Hotpot, ….
• Adrian (10/5): -
• ChS (10/5): Alles perferfekt und sehr zu empfehlen - Tolle, einsame Lage neben einem Pferdehof. Wunderschöner Ausblick auf die weidenenden Pferde. Perfekte Ausgangslage für den Golden Cirlce. 5 Min. mit dem Auto zum nächsten Ort mit Supermarkt und Bäckerei. Hot Tub mit toller Aussicht. Sehr schöne Inneneinrichtung. Alles vorhanden. Netter Kontakt mit der Vermieterin. Sehr sauber. Alles perfekt. Die Unterkunft war etwas schwierig zu finden. Es wäre hilfreich gewesen, wenn in der Buchungs-Bestätigung oder in der Message gestanden hätte, dass es sich um das Gebäude "Stryta I" handelt. Die Angabe von Booking, dass es sich um eine Doppelhaushälfte handelt, war nicht korrekt. Es ist ein freistehendes Haus. Im Kinderzimmer konnten die Fenster nicht verdunkelt werden. Angabe von Booking war nicht korrekt (kein Zimmer mit 2 Einzelbetten, sondern 2 Zimmer mit Doppelbetten). Schade, dass kein Frühstück angeboten wird.
• Yoke (10/5): We enjoyed our 4 nights stay at this beautiful house. We are lucky to view Northern Lights just above our house. - Beautiful, clean and spacious house. Plenty of towels and toiletries. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and everything is nice. Highly recommended. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Nil
• Ciara (10/5): Exceptional -
• Agnieszka (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place with a communicative host. Highly recommended.
• Marc (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, quiet, beautiful views, and fantastic host Nothing
• Dirk (9/5): Superb - Spacious, extremely well maintained and clean property. Water pressure in the smaller bathroom could’ve been better. Could have just been the shower head clogged with hard water deposits.
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was clean and there was a lot of space. The kitchen was very well equipped. The check in was very easy and the host very friendly. nothing
• Shannon (10/5): Exceptional - The location was beautiful and close to gas stations, grocery shopping and the golden circle. Our host was in constant communication with us whenever we needed her and very accommodating!
• Eduardo (9/5): Superb -
• Joan (9/5): Loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or return. - Peaceful location after the biz of Reykjavík but close to Selfoss for anything needed. Excellent communication from host. Easy access to the main roads for getting out and about. Hot tub was appreciated after long days out sightseeing. No teapot or larger mugs. The new roads made it a little tricky to find as our GPS wasn’t picking them up. Nothing to do with the property really but worth mentioning.
• Sidstan (10/5): Thanks to Krissa we got a great time in Stryta Guesthouse. All what you need you’ll find there! -
• Rebecca (10/5): A perfect spot. - This house exceeded all our expectations. Lots of space for a family of 5 (and bonus toys for the little ones!) Excellent location just off Route 1 but super quiet. The hot tub is fantastic. A perfect spot for our adventures. Nothing. Can’t wait to come back.
• Sharee (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (9/5): Very enjoyable. I would stay there again. - The owner of the property was close by if there were any problems, in our case none. The property was very good value. The main road (no 1) to Selfoss was nearby , but not too close as to be a problem. The host, Krissa, was most helpful. There were items already there that were needed eg dish washer tablets. The kitchen appliances were first class and the property was exceptionally well heated. I would stay there again without doubt. The bedding in the two double bedrooms were of very good quality. The bedding in the bedroom with bunk beds was of a lesser quality.
• Natalia (10/5): Very nice property, beautifully located. Very comfortable beds, nice hot tub, cute dogs and horses. -
• Kaisa (10/5): I can really recommend Stryta Guesthouse! - The place is very easy to reach. It's on beautiful countryside not too far away from Reykjavik and from road 1. The hostess was very friendly. -
• Gabriel (8/5): Very good -
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious, comfortable and cozy. 5 min drive from a supermarket. Nice view and surroundings. Horses and dogs.
• Heather (10/5): Our stay was very relaxing. Loved the fields with the horses. - Very peaceful and relaxing It was all amazing
• Julie (8/5): Very good -
• Mary (9/5): Lovely cottage on a horse farm - This is a lovely little cottage with 3 small bedrooms, 2 queen and one with bunkbeds. Beautiful terrace overlooking the fields, you can watch the icelandic horses grazing. The large hot tub was perfect in the evening! Comfortable beds. 2 bathrooms, one is quite roomy, good showers. Kitchen was fine and quite well equipped (although we didn't cook). It was a little tricky to find - the google maps pin was a bit off and the highway exit has been recently changed, so it was not clear at first. Go on to the exit AFTER where google maps shows. Then follow the directions on google maps and again do not turn where it says -- look for the horse farm, drive into their driveway and then further on follow the sign for Stryta. There are 3 guesthouses, this is the 2nd one. Not much space to unpack or hang up clothes - only in the kids room.
• S (9/5): Great place to stay - This is a lovely little house on a farm with lots of friendly animals (we were greeted by a cat and two dogs, and the back deck overlooks a horse paddock with lots of lovely Icelandic horses and their babies!). The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay - kitchen is better appointed than what is standard for an AirBnB, there was working laundry - including a dryer which can be hard to come by in Europe. And it has a hot tub on the back deck which is a great way to end the day after lots of hiking and walking. The owner was super responsive so it was easy to get questions answered. The location was perfect for our itinerary (used it as a jumping off point for golden circle). Pro tip: use Apple Maps to locate it; Google Maps had us a few streets over in the middle of a field :) We didn’t initially see the room darkening shades behind the curtains, and even once we did, they could have been darker. We were there for essentially 24 hours of light so this would have been helpful.
• Katarzyna (10/5): Great place - Everything was great. The beds were really comfortable, kitchen equipped, the location convenient, the view to horses great and hot tube amazing. And last but not least - visiting Cat - The Best 😁
• Phil (10/5): Exceptional - The location was amazing, on a working farm with horses. Views were incredible, house was great!
• Amanda (10/5): - Absolutely gorgeous views. Ponies right outside the windows, rolling fields. Lovely hot tub that heated up fast. Clean, peaceful and beautiful. Owner was kind and helpful. Close to Selfoss and Hveragerdi. Close to riding stables. East drive to the crater, the geyser and Gulfoss. Everything we needed was provided. Traveling with our 5 children and everyone was comfortable and happy! Highly recommend!
• Sharee (10/5): Peaceful and comfortable, we’d love to return! - Highly recommend. We had a wonderful time staying at this guesthouse. It was spacious and comfortable. The deck was lovely, the view of the northern lights I posted was taken from the deck. I think the owners probably don’t use Hotels.com frequently. If you have difficulty reaching them through this platform you can look them up generally and reach out that way. My son was even given a special opportunity to meet the horses.
• Lori (10/5): Great house for a family - Great location and great house. Everything we could possibly need was provided. It has a nice size kitchen so you can cook your own meals. It was great to have our own hot tub to relax in after a day out and about. Great value! Nothing
• Ronald (8/5): a very unique place to stay at - amazing place in the wilderness of iceland to many spiders
• Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Location was amazing, views were amazing. Even had a visit from a local cat for the night
• Anj (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rachel (9/5): Superb -
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Location was excellent for travelling around and seeing the area around Vik and the surrounding area, not too far too travel to see local attractions. Having a hot tub to relax in after a long day out especially with other teenagers. The place was spacious and very clean Nothing
• Michael and Gail (10/5): Lovely country home! - Our hostess was very kind and helpful. The house was very nice. It has a door between one bedroom and a bathroom and the rest fo the house, so it allows quiet and privacy. The kitchen has some basic items, which is great. The hot tub gets up 40 (103F) and is quite nice (allow 60-90 minutes for it to heat up and turn it off when you are done). The countryside is wonderful and pretty (photo taken out window at sunset). The heating system works wonderfully. The interent is fast and you can watch streaming shows. The cost is higher than we usually pay, but Iceland is expensive and for that country the fee is a good value. Be sure to bring food to cook for your stay, as it is not near cafes.
• M (10/5): Pretty cottage with hot tub and horses! - We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Stryta Guesthouse! The pictures don't do it justice. It was light and airy and impeccably clean with lovely views of the fields and horses just behind the house. The hot tub worked perfectly and was much appreciated after long days of hiking and sightseeing. The house was cozy and warm, the kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable with nice linens. It is a short drive to the Reykjadalur hot spring thermal river hike which we enjoyed and close to Selfoss for restaurants and grocery stores. All in all it was perfect and we would choose to stay there again in a heartbeat!
• CT (10/5): - The cottage was really nice, extremely clean and organized, and located in a very pleasant site. It is also very close to major sites and easily accessible.
