Reviews of Geysir - Modern Log Cabin

Excellent location to see all of the main tourist highlights. Comfortable quiet and well equipped. Hot tub perfect to relax in after a day out. Easy owner to work with

Nothing

We liked everything. It is a very clean and comfortable house with everything we needed. Hot tub was a definite plus. Kitchen had everything we needed. The host kept in touch throughout. The location was perfect for all our day trips.

Nothing.

So much to like. The hot tub was a bonus. The property is in a quiet neighborhood close to some popular attractions. Had a fully stocked kitchen with everything that you would need to cook meals. Plenty of parking, comfy sofas and chairs and a nice dining table for a group. Lots to like about the cabin. Very pleased.

The only complaint and they are small ones is that the beds need to be made and the shower is small. Making up the beds does appear to be fairly normal in Iceland. These are very minor items and would be struggle to really call them complaints.

Cozy spacious living room with comfortable sofa, well-equipped kitchen, perfect and huge beds, and a hot tub outside. You don't need anything more after a day spent discovering unbelievable natural beauties. Many amazing sites are reachable within an hour of driving (Hot Spring River, Kerið, Brúarfoss, Secret Lagoon, and many others). Kids tired of waterfalls will find themselves happy at the Slakki zoo :-) Geysir in walking distance, Gullfoss 10 mins driving. Minimarket (expensive) with gas station 20 mins driving, less expensive groceries 50 mins driving

Slow internet connection. Luckily, at this place you don't really need the internet :-)

Everything was perfect, I had such a good time at the cabin, we also experienced the very first time the aurora borealis at the cabin almost every night we spend

N/A

Good location. Decent size cabin. Good parking. Did the job of what we needed.

The place was dirty, found litter in the place, the floors were dusty and had hair on them. There is 100% animals living in the wall/ceilings which were very noisy and made it hard to sleep. There were no towels with the bedding so we had to go though boxes to find these as it did say in the pre arrival guide they should be on the bed. There were things wrong in the pre arrival guide that we had to figure out. The hot tub you have to fill and empty every day which is fine except it takes 2-3 hours to fill so when returning late and you would want to enjoy the hot tub this isn't possible. The person who manages this cabin does not appear to care for or about it.

Very spacious and could easily sleep 8 people if needed. Had everything needed for a 4 night stay, including fully equipped kitchen with bits and bobs like herbs/spices salt pepper etc if needed (saves buying, we used some but replaced with pasta packets etc that we didn’t use). The location was stunning, surrounded by snow and mountains (big hills) and 100m or so from the nearest neighbour.

Everything was great, our only small issue was the steep stairs going to the upstairs room, initially my older (mid 60s) mum was going to sleep in one of the beds with my daughter in the other but the stairs were too much for her so both kids ended up there, not a massive issue for us but needs bearing in mind

Excellent location with beautiful surroundings. Very good facilities and includes some extras that we didn’t expect like spices and seasoning for cooking which was nice. Very nicely designed inside.

Only thing I’d say is that I thought there were far too many instructions upon checking out. we were asked to take our rubbish to a local disposal site which I think is too much and should be part of the fee to stay in the cabin. Also we had to put our own bedding on when we arrived and then were asked to strip the bedding aswell. I understand this makes the owners life easier but we have paid to come to the cabin for a holiday.

Hot tub and living area

central location in close proximity to attractions, spacious living room, washer and dryer available

We have 6 pax and book a 3-room apartment. One of the 3 'bedrooms' was an open attic space which was probably not in use for awhile. it was dusty and dirty and we had to vaccum clean the space ourselves. Also the attic was an open space with no 'curtain' and it was extremely bright the whole night because of midnight sun in summer. The water in the bathroom was another issue; the water pressure was very low and it was either extremely hot or extremely cold because we couldnt mix the cold with hot water. In the end we had no choice but to go to the nearby thermal pool to bathe. The pillows were extremely pathetic. they were 'lumpy' old pillows and did not provide any support to the heads.

The cabin is very well kept and spacious! It is centrally located to many things on the Golden Circle.

The hot tub took 4+ hours to fill up each time you use it and the water was lukewarm.

The cabin was beautiful, comfortable and located right in the heart of the Golden Circle. The Geysirs and Gullifoss are literally around the corner. Icelandic horses were in the neighbor's meadow. We saw everything we were hoping for!

The water in kitchen and bathroom took awhile to heat up and the pressure was not as strong as cold. Also, for the oven, we couldn't find any pot holders or oven mittens.

The log cabin was in a really great location. It had snowed when we arrived and it was like a painting. The surrounding hills and remoteness made for an exceptional experience witnessing the northern lights.

Nothing specifically. It is traditionally decorated and some elements like the shower are tired and in need of renovation. We couldn’t work out how to turn the bathroom light off. There were dirty baking sheets in the oven and the oven looked like it needed a good scrub. We didn’t use the hot tub because it wasn’t the type of hot tub we expected (more like a large outdoor bath) and instructions said it would take a couple of hours To fill.

Location General space Size House vibe Look

Shower The facts that hot tub was out of order most probably for quite long time and we been told day before that “previous guests left water in so it’s frozen and blocked with ice” Didn’t seem to be true it look blocked for long time although some of the previous guests must’ve left it like that probably Sad as having hot tub there would be marvellous

It is very nice cabin with great kitchen and pleasent living and dinig room. Beds was comfy too. View in night was absolutely sunning and we are more than happy to choose log cabin.

Easy to find, very nice accomodation, almoust everything was includet.

Low water pressure in the shower. Hot tub wasn´t working. There were no bandages in first aid kit, luckily we had some in the cars first aid kit.

Pillows were very dirty, and very lumpy, beds were unmade and the linen left did not fit the bed/was ripped. Hot tub didn't work and host was unhelpful/refused to come and help sort it. He promised us a 25% refund but we had to chase up multiple times with Booking.com to receive it (they eventually refunded us and said they'd get it back from the host). Host refused to engage once we had left the property. Very disappointing, especially as we'd stayed there previously a few years before and loved it ( the property has changed ownership)
