    Getting to the property was a little tricky. The host did send pics with instructions, but they were not easy to see. Once we got in, everything made sense. The house was VERY warm!

    This house was spectacular! The location was incomparable! The house was beautifully appointed. Instructions for the hot tub were incredibly helpful. We stayed in 7 different hotels over 7 nights, and this was, by far, the best! We wished we could have stayed longer!

    Be careful getting into the hot tub. It could be very hot. Shower took awhile to figure out.

    Imagine waking up right under an old volcano crater. Cabin was very comfortable and well stocked.

    Several little things around the house would need fixing

    Amazing location right in the middle of the lava fields, spectacular views. Very cozy living room/kitchen really felt like a home away from home from the second we stepped into the house. Hottub was a great plus

    This was an exceptionally beautiful spot to find! I felt like it was a special opportunity to see the nature of a lava field, right next to a crater! We watched the sunset from the hot tub and slept so comfortably. It was great for my teens, who each had their own room after a week of much time together! We loved the photos on the walls. The house seems secluded, but is close to the road (but you can’t hear cars) and convenient to many locations. I would live here! Many thanks for the stay.

    It was very warm inside the property, so warm that everyone woke up during the night, as soon as we got in we set all the thermostats in all the rooms to cold, we had to open all the doors and windows at 2:30 am to cool off. Very odd, might have been a temporary issue or might of forgotten a thermostat somewhere.

    Amazing location, and really tucked away from anyone else, really comfortable beds, lots of facilities, with washer and dryer I was able to clean all my clothes on our last day in Iceland so got back home with clean clothes. Also was able to rise my car with the hose in the facility room. Cooked a full dinner on the hob and oven and both clean and worked well. The hot tub was nice and warm (bit too warm) but we didn’t follow the instructions on the wall to remove the lid as soon as you arrive to cool down, totally our fault but just a FYI for anyone else coming in.

    The hot tub was a big disappointment. Jets did not work and the water was not very clean. Removing cover is a challange and securing it was dangerous. If cord ever broke and cover fell someone would get seriously injured. This tub should be taken out of service, fixed or replaced.

    How clean the bedrooms and common areas were.

    The house is set in a beautiful landscape. The facilities are luxury and the heated floors are a bonus. The hot tub was ready to use as soon as we arrived and the beds are super comfortable. This is truly home away from home and I highly recommend this house. We hope to be back here.
