Guest Reviews

Bryan (10/5): - Charming, cozy, and clean cabin with a relaxing deck and very kind host. It was amazing listening to the birds at 12:30am while soaking in the hot spring fed outdoor spa watching the colorful midnight sunset, priceless! This highlight was only topped by whale watching from the porch. The cabins are set back slightly from the fjord and the views are stunning! It's an easy 1 minute walk to the waters edge, and an easy drive to Dalvik too. So thankful we found these cabins; all surrounded by wildflowers, whales, nature, and beautiful Iceland.
Probir (10/5): - Very nice property - all was as they mentioned and check in was easy
Bobby (10/5): - Enjoyed my stay, thank you
Bobby (10/5): Very good - Really enjoyed my stay, everything as expected.
Bobby (10/5): - The stay was lovely despite the cold outside (-14). Had one issue and someone came quickly to help, thank you. Would be very grateful if the property could email entry details proactively on the morning of arrival instead of needing to chase each time without international calls. Check in details arrived at 11pm that night. Please check your email or provide WhatsApp as we can't all call your number.
Julie (10/5): - Quirky, comfortable, conveniently located.
Michaela (6/5): - Leider ist das Cottage in einem eher renovierungsbedürftigem Zustand. Ausblick, Lage und der Hottub auf dem Balkon, den man für sich privat hat, machen etwas davon wieder wett.
peter (6/5): - This had potential of being excellent. I booked it with the hot tub in mind. Yet the hot tub didn’t work even after someone making attempts to fix it. Initial check-in was a disaster too. We were locked out even after agreement and email confirmation of a late check-in. We made numerous calls to the owners but got hung up on through voicemails. It was only by chance that i guessed a combination for a key at a different property that we got shelter overnight. Then, when we in our property, the cooker broke down half way through cooking breakfast (food ruined). We got a portable replacement 45 minutes later. All in all, even after this, I would return here, as long as the fickle problems are sorted. As again this has potential of being excellent.
Verified traveler (6/5): Lovely but... - The cottage is very nice, small but comfy. Very disappointed - 2nd time - no info sent to get in, left an hour+ in the dark and snow. Not everyone can call +354 numbers. When you do call / email no-one answers. I ran a guest house, less fancy internal features, more about simple good admin. Heating was again way too hot to sleep even though bedroom and lounge turned off. No instructions on anything inside so couldn't work out what to do. Real shame as this place was great the first time I came.
Julie M. (10/5): - Very clean and cozy
Vibhuti (10/5): - Very quiet place. Beautiful cottage with a drying rack too. The hot pool was quite hot otherwise everything was okay. There were ducks in the sea near the cottages which added further beauty to the already lovely place.
Evelyn (10/5): - The cottage was really lovely. We had an amazing view, the inside of the cottage ist beautiful and the hot tub is an extra plus! The kitchen has everything you need for the stay. Would recommend and visit again.
Adam (10/5): Magic. - This is our third time staying on this property. Our cabin was newly renovated and very stylish. I'd stay forever if I could.
Simone (10/5): Fantastisch! - Wir waren im Basic House und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt...die Aussicht auf den Fjord war unglaublich, die Zimmer sauber. Das Haus war mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Wir haben ein paar Stühle auf der Terrasse vermisst. Für uns war es kein Problem, da wir mit dem Camper unterwegs waren und Campingstühle dabei hatten. Ich bin mir aber sicher, wenn wir danach gefragt hätten, hätte es bestimmt eine Lösung gegeben. Auch der Hot Pot auf der Terrasse war fantastisch. Was will man mehr!
Jason (8/5): - Love the cottage, especially the view and the the privacy. However the shower head clip was broken and some light can’t be turn on, I think it was due to previous tenant who broke that and didn’t inform the property management.
Joshua (8/5): - Beautiful location, comfortable rooms and beds. We enjoyed our stay and our only issue was shower which needs repairs/improvements. Overall a great stay and loved the area and cabin.
Michael (10/5): - Amazing! Highly recommended!
Krista (6/5): - We loved the space of the cabin for 4 people, and we especially love the hot tub available on the deck!! Areas that NEED improvement: The communication was terrible. I texted a note before we came and received no response. Then once our trip came, no one was there to check us in. So we didn't know where to go, what the code was to get in, etc. I had to purchase cell service for the day to call and find this information out. Then once we got into the cabin, we realized that we didn't have bedding for 4 people. Did someone come to help? Nope... My husband was told to rummage in the farmhouse basement and find extra bedding, then we had to make the upper bunk bed ourselves. The hot tub also wasn't warm, so we had to call again to find out how to heat it. We would have appreciated a bit more information in the room or instructions on arrival and/or how to operate the hot tub, etc.
Lydia (10/5): - This cabin is perfect if you want a cozy, quiet experience in north Iceland. It’s simple and has everything you need for a restful stay. I would absolutely stay here again.
Kirsten (8/5): Ytri Vik❤️ - Wieder einmal hab ich Ytri Vík gebucht. Es ist einfach eine schöne Unterkunft mit Hot Pot auf der Veranda und super schönem Blick auf den Fjord. Akureyri ist nicht weit entfernt. Ich werde wiederkommen. ❤️
Jan (10/5): Excellent accommodations - Best accommodation ever! We love it so much that we will come back again! We would love to stay here for atleast week. Thank you for the experience!
SOJEONG (10/5): Perfect!! - Awesome!!! A little bit far from city but the best place to stay and see aurora! Of course, warm, well-cleaned and the host had a good communication! Really recommend!
Marielle Helena (8/5): - We stayed in one of the small cabins, they all have hot tubs! That is an amazing feature. The cabin is older but well build. Some of the use over the years is showing but it is a decent cabin. Some more attention could be put to for example labeling the numbers on the electric stove so that you can see how high you turn it (the numbers are worn off and it takes some investigation to figure out), but once you have it on high it does cook fine. It is a bigger cabin than most newer cabins, actually had a decent living space, nice porch and don't forget the hot tub! Even little battery candles which you can use when you are sitting in that hot tub. Wifi worked perfectly as with all places in Iceland we've seen A very comfortable vacation place, incredible view right from your porch over the fjord.
RICARDO (10/5): One of the best places to stay - What an amazing cottage and place to stay. One of the best places I’ve stayed in, in Iceland. Highly recommended. Communication with host very easy. Hot bathtub was a pleasant surprise
Bobby (10/5): Very good - Lovely place by the fjord. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Would personally prefer TV in lounge as wouldn't watch in small bedroom.
Molly (10/5): - This was the perfect Cottage! Especially loved the hot spring fed hot tub! Well equipped and cozy. And the view! Amazing stay, wish it had been longer.
Alex (10/5): - The cottage spacious, it was easy to find, and we really appreciated the chlorine free hot tub.
Heidi (10/5): - Beautiful location. Wonderful cabin with hot tub! Planning on booking again when we come back.
Monika (10/5): Beautiful relaxe place in the nature - A very nice place - fantastic hot pot - beautiful surrounding. Recommand to change the broken light bulbs and check the freezer. Very good grill.
Tinna (8/5): - Ljómandi fínt allt
Bobby (10/5): Enjoyed my stay - Really enjoyed my stay here and boat trip to nearby Hrisey. Cottage had everything I needed. Will be back.
Pauline (10/5): Lovely, lovely spot - Loved this place. Very well laid out small cabin for two, every cabin has an incredible view and it’s own hot tub. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Craig (10/5): - Great cabin close to town but feeling far away. Called the number before getting there and was told we had cabin 3. Easy to find and wonderful inside. Hot tub was a bit colder than you’d like but it was beautiful.
Anne (8/5): Gorgeous view - Lovely little wooden chalet in a very quiet location looking out over the fjord. Hot tub ready for use on the covered porch (even in Nov…) but we didn’t try it…. Had everything we needed in kitchen and was warm. Bedroom was very small and not ideal for double bed which was pushed with one side against wall but worked (kept suitcases in lounge area).
Anja (10/5): - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist unschlagbar, direkter Blick auf den Fjord, Natur Island liegt direkt vor den Augen und ist einfach atemberaubend. Der zum Haus gehörende "Hot Pott" ist perfekt für die kalte Jahreszeit!
Verified traveler (10/5): A Small & Perfect Paradise - This cozy cottage is - perfect. The hottub is huge, likely the nicest design we’ve seen anywhere in Iceland, overlooking green grassy hill that meets an expansive view directly over the fjords and mountains, with a lovely young pine forest behind that shields the wind and makes you feel remote & secluded, though you are minutes from both great dinner & lunch spots & two towns.
Sharad (2/5): - This property was a terrible waste of money. I am very disappointed with both the property and it’s owner. First of all, the picture that was shown on the property listing was not even close to what we actually were living in. The place was infested with insects, the WiFi did not work during the duration of our stay, and there was no cable (even though it was advertised). We tried reaching out to the property manager about these issues but he dismissed us and told us he was aware of these issues but “could not do anything about it”. He eventually became unresponsive and left us to deal with these problems on our own. Overall I feel like I got scammed and would like something to be done because of the false advertisement and poor customer service.
Verified traveler (2/5): - Although this was the place I was most looking forward to during our Iceland trip, we were really disappointed by the whole experience. The cottage was falling apart and there is really no customer service. There were no light bulbs in most of the rooms when we checked in at night. Tried to call customer service several times but there was no response. Also sent them a message through the booking app but no response. Talked to someone on the phone the next day but they didn’t bother to fix the issue. There were no instructions or information about anything in the cottage or surrounding areas or how to reach customer service if there was an issue. There was no soap, shampoo or conditioner in the bathroom. If this was expected, we should have been informed before arrival so we would have bought some. The shower door came off while my daughter tried to close it and almost fell on her. The list goes on. Do yourself a favor and find another place to stay.
Krista (10/5): Nice place to relax - Nice location, everything needed to relax die a couple of days
Verified traveler (8/5): - Absolutely gorgeous location, pleasant cottage, suited my group of five quite well. Fifth time staying at Ytri-Vík over the last seventeen years, and will likely continue to stay there when visiting north Iceland.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Having traveled for 30 years I have found my FAVORITE SPOT! Beautiful clean modern spacious (could of slept 10 comfortably) cabin with a hot tub overlooking the fjord with beautiful snow capped mountains in the background. Full kitchen. Bring some food and stay for a week.
Kathryn (10/5): Absolutely lovely! - I thoroughly enjoyed this cottage. I had the best night's sleep of my entire vacation here, as the bedding was so comfortable and we were able to open all the windows and relish the fresh air. My only suggestion is that coffee and supplies should be offered. The closest town was 15 minutes and it took us some time to locate coffee first thing in the morning.
Anja (8/5): Erst Wow! - dann Okay - Die Bewertung bezieht sich auf die Cabin "Sel". Unschlagbar ist ohne Frage die Lage und die Aussicht der Cabin. Auf der Terrasse gibt es einen HotPot und einen Gasgrill und es lohnt sich definitiv sich ein Steak mitzubringen. Wir haben die Zeit auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf den Fjord sehr genossen. Insgesamt ist die Cabin gut ausgestattet, sauber und mit Liebe fürs Detail eingerichtet - jedoch wäre eine Renovierung / Überholung sicherlich sinnvoll. Die Plastikverkleidung im Kühlschrank war defekt, Glühbirnen fehlten, Schubladen waren kaputt und die Fensterscharniere sind zum Teil herausgebrochen, so dass die Fenster nicht mehr 100% schließen. Alles Dinge mit denen man leben kann, wir haben uns jedoch gewundert ob das wirklich so sein muss, da es den wunderbaren ersten Eindruck bei Ankunft etwas trübte. Der Check In war unkompliziert - es gibt eine Keybox, sodass man zeitlich flexibel ist. Die Vermieterin ist bei Fragen schnell telefonisch erreichbar. Parken ist direkt am Haus möglich. Die Küchenausstattung ist gut und es fehlt nichts. Alles in allem ein schöner Aufenthalt - mit Steigerungspotenzial :)
Carl (10/5): - Fantastic cottage with an incredible view. Hot tub on the porch was perfect.
Caroline Mae (10/5): Amazing stay in this cottage - It was a great stay! The cottage was very spacious, loved the jacuzzi and we used the barbecue. Would definitely stay here again!
Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved the location and the view is fantastic. Bring your steak and grill on the deck.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Our cabin was clean,warm and cozy!
Denise (10/5): Cute little cabins - It is off the beaten path and not well marked so it was almost impossible to find at night. It has little to no light pollution so it is a great place to see the northern lights if the weather cooperates. It has a hot tub but it isn't protected enough to use in the colder months and the grill was filthy
Verified traveler (8/5): - The views from the cabin are tremendous! The coffee maker was broken.
