    The host was very kind. He loves the area and gave us some ideas as where to visit/hike. We liked the kitchen/ dining area where we made a plan for the next day. The living room was lovely.

    Finding this house let me discover a part of Iceland which I didn’t know about. It’s such a peaceful and beautiful area, a place to rest!.. I really enjoyed a feel of a local home. I find it so wonderful that a family lives there and opens their house for guests to share some icelandic vibes. The room is super clean and cozy, all house is nicely decorated and well maintained. Special time and I wish to come back again!..

    Wonderful stay and wonderful host! Very cozy and large house, so we were able to rest a lot after some longer hikes. Ultimately great host, who told us a lot instightful info about the eastern part of Iceland as well as he mentioned a set of hidden gems. It is a must stay if you travel through north-east/east part of the island. It is also a great place in terms of close location to different attractions (Stuðlagil canyon, Hengifoss). Highly recommended!

    Needs some horses on site for cuddles.

    We were finally able to do our laundry! But aside from that, we had an entire gorgeous house to ourselves. Nice to feel like we were relaxing at home after a string of hotels.

    The property is a bit out of the way for us, but finding it was straightforward with the provided instructions

    Host was very welcoming and made us feel at home with his conversation. We had a great time and are only sad we didn't get to talk more.

    As I put it I had 3 times need for help to get there at arrival to and get away as well. Sadly for NOT-cardrivers that also was a need. I was helped by host very well. So I highly recommend the accomodatition if you are in East Iceland and in case you rent a car. Then you ve a great place. Because there is no buss till 50 kms from the place I would take care without own/rental car. Then make sure that you can bike or at least have a good condition to reach the nice house at the riverside.

    Beautifull area and I got a real warm welcome. On top of it - by accident - I was brought by the "neigbour" living at 4 km distance for the last part because of a road reparation on arrival day. Which in Iceland means you have to ride to next bridge and back. And the neighbouw twee that to return. This was extreme ly sympathatic and tells how nicely the community is. Host and son were also help full to bring me on the spots like Heretage Museum (2nd day) to 10 km to good hiking place (leaving 3rd day).

    I wish there was a coffee machine (I only saw a kettle, but I didn't ask).

    The room and bathroom was clean, the host was welcoming and surrounding nature is great, worth the slight detour.

    Hard to find. In fact, neither Booking nor Google maps know where this house is located. You need to get to the power plant and right before its entrance - do not listen to Google maps, just turn left onto the rocky road. And moving along it you will not miss the house with the sign "Holl" to the right.

    Clean room with comfy bed and a big cabinet. Clean bathroom just next door. Fully equipped kitchen. Good-natured host.

    True Icelandic Experience - Friendly Host!

    The guestroom is a spare room in the host's personal home - in this way privacy is not perfect. The kitchen and bathroom are also shared with the host and his family. These rooms were however always available for use when we needed, but the hygiene could sometimes be a bit better.

    The location here is wonderful - the area is really a jewel. In summer, when you look out the window from your room, it's like a fairytale - mountainous surrounds with multiple waterfalls, sheep roaming around the property. WiFi, parking, and the guestroom itself, are all great. Kartjan, the host, is a lovely, understanding man who really takes the time to get to know his guests, and is ready with local knowledge, and has great tips for things to do in the area.
