8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We thought Fensalir was great. Good location, lots of space, well equiped, excellent layout, good pre arrival info, super hot tub and sauna. There were however a couple of small things: the separate cabin does not have full blackout blinds which is a problem in the summer; no mirror in the cabin bathroom which is a pain if you shave the old fashioned way; hot water runs out very quickly so it became a race to the bathroom every morning. All very minor things but means overall 4/5 score. We loved our stay though and would recommend it.

We loved our time here. The home is spacious and clean. Kitchen has everything we needed for a few simple meals. The hot tub and sauna were relaxing and clean. Multiple nights we could see the northern lights which was a big highlight. The location is excellent as well for visiting the Golden Circle. We would highly recommend staying here.

Our stay at Fensalir was outstanding and exceeded expectations. The property is beautifully located in the heart of the Golden Circle region, making it the perfect base for exploring Iceland's natural wonders while still enjoying privacy and tranquility. The home was spotless, spacious, and very well equipped. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and sauna after long days of sightseeing. The layout worked perfectly for our family, with plenty of room for everyone to relax comfortably. The guesthouse provided additional privacy for my wife and I. The surrounding scenery is stunning, with peaceful countryside views and easy access to major attractions such as Gullfoss, Geysir, and Þingvellir National Park. The host was responsive and helpful, and the check-in process was seamless. If you're looking for a comfortable, luxurious, and well-located home in Iceland, Fensalir is an excellent choice. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Golden Circle area.

The Fensalir cabin was perfect for our family. The property is well maintained and quite cozy. We had no issues with the accommodations. The appliances were all in good working order. The host was very communicative and helpful. The host provided excellent documentation and instructions on how to get to the property, how to access, and clear instructions about all the amenities and appliances. It was easy to answer any questions on how to do something by checking the handbook that was provided.The location is fantastic. It is in a more rural setting yet close enough to Selfoss for easily getting groceries. We loved the quiet and peaceful environment. The views were very good: the mountain just to the east (Búrfell); the view towards Selfoss and the river to the south; meadows and a river to the east. Great hiking on the nearby mountain with a small lake in the crater. Geothermal features in Reykjadalur and the Golden circle, and Kerið Crater are close. Sitting in the hot tub and/or sauna at night after a day of adventures was very relaxing and we were even rewarded with a view of the northern lights while sitting in the hot tub. I highly recommend this property and will try to book it the next time we come to Iceland.
