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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. ❤️
