5/5 Recommended
Kristin is such a warm welcoming host , it was a wonderful stay. Located at the river bank and right across the city centre.
Kristin went beyond to take our luggage from the airline (who had misplaced our luggage ) , she welcomed us with a smile, good wishes and a chocolate to enjoy with the coffee.
The facility is clean and spacious. We stayed for 1 night, had a comfortable stay and a good sleep.
The bathroom water does have thermal like smell, we wondered why.
Don’t look any further , book this place without a doubt Kitchen utensils weren’t very clean. Thermal like smell of the bathroom water
- Eda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nathan (10/5): - Wonderful host! Kristin was on site making sure our check in went very smooth and provided an excellent restaurant recommendation for dinner.

- Soujanya (9/5): Fantastic - Location was amazing with stunning views. Insulation could have been better but we didn't suffer as it was summer time.
- Maria (9/5): Great experience in a cozy studio for the night! - Host Kristen was great!! She met us when we arrived late to show us into the apartment, but in case she hadn’t done that, we had a code to the lock box anyway.

- Paul (8/5): Very good - The check-in process was very straightforward. Our host greeted us shortly afterwards to check everything was in order. She is pleasant and happily gave me advice on places of interest in the region. The facilities are modern and in excellent condition. The location, next to the river and a 2 minute walk to the renovated centre of Selfoss, is fantastic. We had a lovely stay in Selfoss and surrounds.
- Mary (9/5): Superb -
- Karen (10/5): - The owner is just wonderful. The apartment is perfect for a couple or small family. We loved having a washer and dryer. Well stocked kitchen! Great location central to lots of wonderful places. Highly recommend. It was one of our favorite places to stay in Iceland.
- Jana (9/5): Superb - Wonderfull location, across the town center and very close to beautiful forest area. You can use the walk during the summer. The apartment is modern and cosy. The owner was friendly and came up in case of need. One of the apartment has just a septum between bed and living room, which does not reach the ceiling. It is tricky, if somebody in the group snores. But it is obvious on the pictures.
- Anurupa (10/5): Whole family liked it very much - Location by the river, very clean and all necessities there None
- Marjan (10/5): Exceptional - Kristin was very welcoming and gave us good tips on what to do in the area, as well as good places to eat. The house is lovely and located in the perfect spot to visit all the beautiful scenery in the southwest of Iceland. The beds are great, the shower is nice and hot, and the kitchen is well stocked. Everything was ok.

- Koen (9/5): Superb -
- Jason (10/5): Fantastic, relaxing, and spacious way to end our Iceland vacation. - Beautiful and spacious, well equipped. Gorgeous location on the river. The lock box was pretty hard to open.
- Rachel (9/5): Clean, comfortable, older but cozy and large studio - Great location across the bridge from town Don’t know the apartment was down outside steps
- Christine (8/5): Fun stay in Selfoss. - The location was excellent. Shopping, restaurants nearby and walkable. Very Clean. Loved having washer, bathtub, parking. The bed was comfortable. Great towels. Towel heating device useful for drying clothes. Slept with windows open with soothing sounds of the river outside. Kitchen well supplied with cookware, sugar, tea, etc. Really hard to figure out the lockbox even with instructions.
Unfortunately the WiFi and TV weren't working when we arrived (local outage).
There's a dryer but it didn't dry my clothes.
Needs blackout blinds for summer.
- Nelly (9/5): Our first night in Iceland, we slept like baby in this beautiful home. - Cozy house, fully equipped and complete kitchen utensils.
Warm & friendly host. Nothing
- Suni (6/5): Pleasant -
- Dmitri (5/5): Disappointing - A large, nice studio on a ground floor of a 2-floor house, well decorated. The owner was nice to us. The lodging is presented as follows on its Booking.com site: "This spacious apartment features 1 living room, 1 separate bedroom... ". Yet, this is misleading as in reality it has NO "separate bedroom", but a narrow part of the living room behind a barrier with a bed (see photo). First, it is inappropriate for two couples, as was in our case, second, the space between the bed and walls/barrier is too narrow, and there are no bedside tables nor bedside lamps or electric sockets (for phones). Further, the kitchen is too small to sit four persons; there's no trash bin.
- Charles (10/5): Wonderful Host and Apartment - The apartment was wonderful. It was very comfortable and clean. My family and I were very happy with the accommodations, and the communication that you provided ahead of time was very clear and helpful. We also appreciated your offering any suggestions and assistance with the rest of our planned trip!
- Evanthia (10/5): Absolutely gorgeous. - The house was super clean and the host super polite, and friendly. Everything was great.
- Birgir (10/5): Exceptional -
- sophie (10/5): - L’appartement est bien r’équipé et décoré avec soin. L’hôtesse est fort sympathique.
- Dongwoo (10/5): 따뜻한집 - 따뜻한 주인아주머님 없는게 없는 주방기구,
넉넉한수건, 직접 청소하시는지 깨끗한 방,
세탁기 및 건조기는 장기간 여행에 도움이 됩니다
가족단위 여행에 강추드립니다
- Anastasia (10/5): Our host was an amazing woman. She had everything prepared and she was very very caring, - It was very clean and cozy. Had all the amenities that we needed. It was perfect
- Carolyn (10/5): - Wonderful place. Clean, spacious, and decorated nice. All supplies available to cook dinner. Walkable to groceries and restaurants.
- Hubert (9/5): Great place to stay! - Very good location with nice view over the river and close to shops and restaurants in Selfoss (highly recommend visiting the Old Dairy Food Hall - Mjólkurbúið Mathöll) and good starting point for Golden Circle attractions (as it was for us). The apartment was spacious and clean, the kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to cook for yourself and the bathroom had a washing machine and a dryer. Kristin (our host) welcomed us, was very helpful (even offered us to alert if there are Northern Lights out there). Shame we only stayed there one night...
- Scott (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay, I will 100% stay here again. View is great and the location is perfect. My wife is picky and demands cleanliness, and this was a welcome surprise to see how clean and well maintained the property looked. There was some noise upstairs but very minor, and did not distract or cause an issue.
- K.o.a. (10/5): Ecellent - Good location in the middle of golden circle of Iceland. Close to the downtown. Supermarket, restaurants, gas stations are all near-by. Friendly owner. Facility was functionng perfectly. Equipped with washing machine and a big dryer. Nothing. Recommended.
- Jochem (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (8/5): Very enjoyable. Perfect location to be able to visit Golfen Circle - Great location. Nice walk into Selfoss and the shops/restaurants.
