Guest Reviews
- Shuchita (10/5): Excellent property … one of the best and very thoughtfully + tastefully put together. - Everything Nothing really.. maybe just the short duration of our stay. Oh and we cudnt locate shower gel in the bathroom… everything else was perfect.
- Daria (10/5): -
- Lotte (9/5): -
- Limor (10/5): - beautiful house, new, lovely and generous owners.
- Mia (10/5): The most beautiful place to stay in all of Iceland - Amazing host, the whole house just for you, wonderful wooden interior and exterior, all the kitchen appliances you might ever need, a great hot tub, great beds and bathroom. Truly a dream come true. Everything was absolutely perfect, we were so sad we had to leave
- Francesco (10/5): - Tutto top
- Marga (10/5): -
- Elisa (10/5): - Pulitissima, bellissima e molto islandese, bagno e servizi aggiuntivi ultra belli. Villa fornita di tutto, sembra una casa degli elfi in grande .la struttura migliore che abbiamo avuto. Nulla tutto ok
- Alon (10/5): -
- Miguel Angel (10/5): Perfecta para pasar unos días. - El equipamiento de la casa es magnífico. El menaje de cocina, los electrodomésticos, el equipo de audio Bluetooth, la Tv, las camas... Un 10 de casa. El único "pero" es que una casa con capacidad para 8 personas solo tiene 1 ducha. Aún así, teniendo en cuenta el resto de la casa, se le perdona con creces.
- יובל (10/5): Exceptional - The place is awesome . The owner is just so sweet. Couldn’t ask for more Nothing. Simply perfect
- Maren (10/5): Exceptional - The property was exceptional, everything was finished to a superb standard with attention to each detail. The house was spacious, well designed and immaculate. By far the best place we stayed during our trip to Iceland, thank you for being such an amazing host! Not applicable
- Eric (10/5): Wonderful Amazing place - super responsive - perfect everything including attention to detail. - Everything ! Only one shower but two restrooms not really a problem or truthfully a negative
- Tatiana (10/5): The stay was amazing and unforgettable. - The house is big, clean, nice and truly amazing. We felt ourselves very cozy and comfortable because it was seen that every detail is made with love and attention. The bathroom is big, warm and has everything we needed and even more. Same can be said about kitchen, all is beautiful and wonderful. The hot tub is unbelievably, we will remember our stay forever!
- Sydnii (10/5): Perfect stay for a group or family - The cutest farm house with all of the extra amenities. Far enough out of town that we could see the northern lights!
- Daniel (10/5): Superb! - Everything! The attention to detail was unsurpassed! Highly recommend!!! Nothing
- Ophir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jingyi (10/5): The best home away from home :) - The space was great for my family of 5 adults. The house came with a fully equipped kitchen + and functional bbq grill that we gladly used for the last night.
Property owners were also communicative and took the time to show us around which we really appreciated. Everything was clean and well maintained, the house was also warm amenities were well thought out.
Location was great too as it’s just a short drive (~15mins) from the supermarket and town area, perfect for families who are looking to cook in the house.
Overall I’d really recommend this booking! While the house is spacious, it’s just a tad too dim but this isn’t really a big issue for my family :)
- Aistė (10/5): House with a soul, spacious and immaculate clean - What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your cozy home with us. We found everything we needed. The house is spacious, we were 8, but enough beds for 9 people to sleep. Very comfy beds as well. Nice big kitchen, and open space for everyone to gather. Kids enjoyed your hot tub. So many other nice details around the house. The house was immaculate and to the highest standart. Our only sorry, we had only two nights there. We wish to stay there for longer. Nothing.
- Cher (10/5): Wonderful, charming, welcoming cottage that checks all the boxes! - This place is just wonderful! So well done! Clean, adorable decoration, user friendly, fully stocked with anything you might need, and a clever hot tub that fills almost instantly whenever you want to use it! There was nothing we didn’t like. It’s a GREAT place to stay!
- Andrew (10/5): Stay at the Old Farm - it's great! - Lovely place to stay. Very cosy, loads of space, very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lovely hot tub as well! Nothing, other than I wish we'd been able to stay a bit longer.
- Saju (10/5): We were party of 7 people and spent 6 nights in various parts of Iceland . This was the best stay we had . Host was very - The house is exceptionally well maintained and has all the necessary features and facilities. Quick access to the city and the airport
- Evelyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Noelle (10/5): Nothing short of perfection. Best night in Iceland! - Everything! The place was perfect - well stocked with all you can think about, and more! It was such a pity we were only there for one night. The host received us personally and walked us through every nook and cranny of the house and how we could get the hot tub running. Best stay of our entire trip in Iceland! There were 2 toilets but only 1 shower, but we knew that when booking for 5 pax. Nothing to complain about really, awesome house!
- Cinder (10/5): Relaxing! - It is so beautiful and the owners are so kind! We loved everything!
- Benjamin (10/5): What a perfect spot! We want to return for a week’s stay! - This place was amazing! The kitchen had every implement imaginable. The hot tub was so relaxing. We used the grill as well and our host refilled the gas quickly at our request. The towels were plush too. And the robes and slippers were a welcome surprise too. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!
- Chiu (9/5): Highly recommended to stay - Well equipped and comfortable villa. Host is very nice and friendly.
- Anqi (10/5): Perfect stay! will definitely come back - Kitchen is fantastic Nothing
- Wan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adriana (10/5): The best accommodation in Iceland - This accomnodation was perfect, it has everything you may need, its beautiful, is located in a quiet area near town, and the owner was really friendly. It was by far the best price/quality apartment in which we stayed during our trip. We liked everything
- Katie (10/5): Beautiful Place to Stay - The property is amazing. Our host did a beautiful job restoring it. She remembered a ton of little details that really made our stay wonderful. We loved how clean and well appointed everything was. We loved the hot tub as well. This was the best place we stayed in Iceland. Nothing! I wish we stayed longer!
- Bao (10/5): We all like it very much - Big and comfortable The style and the facilities
- Philip (10/5): Will definitely come back .. the best stay we had in Iceland 🇮🇸 - Very well kept old wooden cottage with all amenities you can think of . Super clean and spacious. Barbecue and hot bath outside on the patio It was perfect
- Ann (10/5): Wonderful! - By far the best place we stayed on trip around the Ring Rd. Hospitable and welcoming.
- Elias (10/5): Great house in great place - Everything was exceptional!
Great place, one of the best places I rented ever! Everything was good. No complaints.
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tonya (10/5): Unique property - This is a unique property. The house is beautiful inside and out and has absolutely everything you might need for a comfortable and luxurious stay. Heiodis met us on arrival and showed us everything in the house. We had a great stay here, cooking in the very well equipped kitchen, barbecuing, enjoying the hot tub and sleeping very well. Nothing. Everything was great.
- James (10/5): If you are staying in Akureyri, you will not find a better rental house. - Heiðdís met us as we pulled up and gave us a tour to show us how everything worked. She is a friendly host and even lent us a muddler so we could make mint juleps. Everything about the home was well above average - the beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was extremely well appointed, there was plenty of space for our group of 8 adults, and the outdoor hot tub was large and easy to use. The bathroom was huge, the shower had nice, strong pressure and no sulphur smell, and there was plenty of towels (and robes and slippers!) for everyone. The house is very conveniently located just south of downtown. I *strongly* recommend The Old Farm to anyone travelling in the Akureyri area. The only negative that I can possibly think of is that the hot tub, while huge with nice hot water, had no jets.
- Krista (10/5): Best place we stayed in Iceland! We would definitely stay again and longer!! - The property was immaculate with all the extras to make it special. Hot tub with robes and all the convenience one could ever need! We loved it. The washer/dryer was a little difficult to run.
- Susan (10/5): Lovely place to stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. - Everything! Extremely well equipped and comfortable. Excellent kitchen, lovely underfloor heating and great hot tub outside. Nothing…it was excellent.
- Yuanyuan (10/5): Best place we stayed for our 14 days trip in Iceland - It is a very spacious farm house that are great for family. Super clean with pretty much all the amenities you would need. None
- Przemo08 (10/5): An absolutely lovely house in Iceland - It was an absolutely marvellous place. A cosy house with fully equipped kitchen - actually the whole house was fully equipped. The quality of the furniture and the equipment was really high. Beautiful and incredible design - this house has the soul. Very pleasant and engaged landlord lady.. A very good bang for the buck for Iceland. The best place we visited during our staying in Iceland. I absolutely recommend this place. Nothing
- Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rohit (8/5): Very good -
- Guat (10/5): Exceptional - Host are very patient and friendly! This place is cozy, clean and well equipped.
Host offered free coffee, tea and chocolate...wish we could stay longer😊
- Greg (10/5): perfect place to see the North - spacious- beautiful views- close to town and close to country sites nothing
- Hafdis (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent stay, have everything you need, attention to details, á cozy atmosphere.

Great patio with sitting area and very easy to use hot tub. We loved everything. Our best stay in Iceland. 100% reccommended.
- Ivelisse (10/5): Delightful and lovely house, great host. - We love everything, beautiful design, very comfortable and a nice hot tub, 100% recommended
- Kathy (10/5): Best stay on Ring Road Trip! - What a gem, this home had it all.
Spacious and completely updated, fluffy towels,
and a robe and slippers for each guest.
Outdoor seating area space was lovely, and we enjoyed the jacuzzi.
Coffee bar was well stocked, they even had milk in the refrigerator for us.
Can’t say enough about the owner who made ever effort to make us feel at home.
Great stop on our ring road tour.
My husbands only complaint was that we couldn’t stay another night!!! Nothing it was perfect!
- Wendy (10/5): Beautiful lodge near a lovely city! - Absolutely beautiful lodge! Very tastefully decorated. Loved having two bathrooms. Very nice touches like a robe and slippers. Nice washer/dryer for us to use.
- Eva (9/5): Lovely stay at a beautiful property - Loved our stay here. Plenty of room to spread out; the house is recently upgraded with many nice touches and amenities. The kitchen is amazing so we enjoyed cooking. Best part was the hot tub and we were fortunate to see the Northern Lights. Host was waiting for us to arrive and showed us around. Only one shower (second 1/2 bath) so have to share, but it is very nicely outfitted.
- Ivo (10/5): Exceptional - Stylish and thoughtful design, exceptionally clean, more than very well equipped. Real home like feel.
- Willis (10/5): Exceptional - the interior of the house was really nice
- Chaitan (10/5): An Amazing Stay at Great House, Wished We Had Booked for Longer - We travelled to Iceland for 13 days with the family - two kids and two adults and went around the ring road. We stayed at this property at the old farm for two nights and overall, it was an absolutely amazing experience. We wish we had booked more nights at the property and just stayed for more days here to see the northern fjords.
The property is very well constructed and it is clear to see the passion of the property owner as they have put a lot of detail and thoughtfulness into the design to maximise comfort for families.
Everything was super clean, all the equipment was functional as expected, the kitchen was well-stocked, the hot tub was very clean and very easy-to-use (there is just a button inside that you press and it fills up with hot water and then you press it again and it drains automatically), the bathrooms were very clean and they provided a very large number of towels and bathrobes for the entire family to use. The washing machine was also very good, and they provided sufficient soap and detergent that we don't have to go by anything on our own. They even worked to accomodate our request for a check in 2 hours before the official check in time. The only thing we did not like is that we did not book for more nights and did not stay here longer.
- Graham (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katka (10/5): 5star hotel level accomodation. We regreted we stayed only 1 night :-) - hot tube (bathrobes available too), generous space, very friendly host who showed us all around, very comfotable, luxury, stylish, cozy space, well equipped kitchen
