    This charming little cabin is both warm and inviting. Inside, it’s clean and comfortable, and the natural surroundings are breathtaking. The little waterfall behind the house is such a magical touch—I absolutely loved it.

    The room upstairs did not have curtains so was bright in the middle of summer.

    The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Very spacious and cosy. Super location and host was very kind.

    After a long journey we had to travel 5 km beyond the cottages to collect a code from a hotel to get in. This could easily have been emailed to us. The hot plate provided didn’t work so cooking had to be done in the microwave.

    The location was superb, we all loved it. It was convenient for visiting the Diamond beach and Jokulsarlon.

    Both bathrooms are thru the bedrooms so if you have someone sleeping in the loft, they need to go thru the bedrooms to use a bathroom. Also, the loft upstairs didn't have any curtains so it was bright while sleeping.

    Cute small house, location in front of the mountain with waterfalls. The bathrooms were roomy and shower was good. Great location for Diamond Beach and the Jokulsarlon lagoon.

    We loved staying here! The location is amazing — on a small hill with a beautiful mountain and a little waterfall behind the cottage, and wide open views in front. The house was very comfortable with two bedrooms and separate bathroom, which made it really convenient for our group. Also, I accidentally left my tablet behind, and the staff were very helpful in arranging to send it back to me. Great service and a memorable stay!

    You have to drive a bit down the road to check in but that wasn’t a big deal. They make it easy.

    Amazing! Location was incredible! Nestled up against a cliff with a waterfall you can take a short hike up to that offers gorgeous views of the serene surroundings. We absolutely loved it. And the house itself was super comfortable for 4 adults.

    I wish there were more pressure in the shower. No dishwasher (but we knew it so it was fine). No door for the bedroom upstairs and no blinds.

    We were trapped by snow during the night which in the end felt awesome. An unexpected experience that we did not regret (we enjoyed way less the driving on the road though ^^)

    We had to retrieve the instructions to enter the house at another property 3km away. Not sure why as the keys were in the house. Also, there was a broken stovetop with an electric one on top - the broken one should be taken out.

    We stayed in one of the small houses. Very cozy, warm and modern. Perfect for three people.

    The cottage was super nice. The pick-up was easy at the reception of the guesthouse (and there was the possibility to get dinner and breakfast there as well). The location was great. Quiet with a great view of a waterfall/the mountains and just 10 minutes drive away from the Glaciar Lagoon and Diamond Beach.
