Very cozy cabin with scenic view. Has everything needed for a comfortable stay. We slept very well on the comfortable bed. The horses in the pasture were amazing. If any questions or anything is needed, host is very responsive and helps quickly. Thank you for the stay!

This was such an adorable cottage (cozy and inviting)! The bed was very comfortable and I loved that there were blackout curtains. The hot tub was ready when we arrived so we could step right in after a long day. I would definitely recommend staying here, I only wish my stay had been longer.

Decent for last minute stay. Water did smell like sulphur and the cottage was very small for 4.
This place was a scam. Amenities listed were not included. Place was dark, dusty and wore down. The hot plate for cooking did not work. No tv was included. No way to control the temperature of the cabin. It was stifling! Furniture was uncomfortable. The water smelled of sulfur and you could not drink it. The hot tub was cold, dirty and the walls were slimy. The place was impossible to find in the middle of nowhere. My husband and I got maybe two hours of sleep and left this nightmare behind!

I loved our stay here. The cottage was so cozy, had everything needed, including coffee in the morning, and instructions to get there were clear. The only heads up I’d offer others booking is that the cottage is not located directly in Fludir, which it appears on the Expedia booking page. This wasn’t an issue for us, but it worth being aware of.

Mosquito net on the window would be very helpful.

Anything this location lacks in luxury is made up for in the solitude and peacefulness of the property. The Private hot tub overlooking a horse and sheep pasture was a great addition. Visually isolated from the road and from all other nearby properties. About 10km outside of town gets you away from the other tourists. GPS did get us close, but the communications and directions provided by the host before our stay were clear and got us right to the property. This was our favorite stay in our 2 weeks in Iceland.

The hot tube was open air and due the rain no suitable, the outside area was not enough illuminated, the road to reach the place is very bad and the cottages are extremely remote. Coffe machine not present in the kitchen and instant coffe container already opened since undefined date.
