Reviews of Kaldbaks-kot cottages

Great cabin close to Husavik. Cabins situated with tons of vegetation and nature surrounding you and with excellent views.

Bathroom is very tight.

We loved the grounds with private lake and good bird habitat. I had forgotten a pair of earrings, and the cleaning person had already put them aside for me! She was very sweet.

It’s not a great place for large adults.

I loved the fact that it felt like you were in the middle of nowhere - even though it was a 2 min drive to the city. Both my partner and I also loved the genereal feeling of being cozy in the cottage.

It was peaceful in a perfect location, in front of the lake.

In generally the smell of the water because of the sulfur.

We stayed here for 2nights as a relaxing stop whilst travelling around Iceland. Made a really nice mini break in our 2 week holiday. Nice private cabins in the trees. Staff all very helpful and offered to be there as required for any issues, which we didn't have any. Cooking facilities enough for the two of us, everything you need. We had one of the hot tubs close to our Cabin which was great to relax in and watch the lake and Ocean. Cosy feel to the place and would recommend if you like a wooden cabin vibe to chill in. Either a long walk or short drive into town. Bonus supermarket being very close by.

Great to have the spa on site, very private space with lots of grass and trees around, although paths need to be maintained and greenery cut back. The veiw was great but obstructed. Hosts were super helpful and lovely. Went above and beyond to be helpful, but internet was terrible and there were no binoculars in the cabin. Clean cabins, close to town if you have a car.

Cabins are very small, especially the bathroom. Better place for couples rather than friends. Water smelled like sulpher. Whole place needs some money spent on it. Tired and old, but good vibes.

We loved staying in this cozy wooden cabin in the woods. The property has its own pond and walking trails. Great bird watching area and scenic views out to the mountains. The added bonus were several hot tubs scattered amongst the cabins. Only a short drive to Husavik for whale watching, good restaurants, groceries and shopping. The cottages are a great base for exploring north-central Iceland.

The cabin’s proximity to the lake was nice. Peaceful views and serene environment.

The cottages are in a very nice place. Very clean, cozy and well cared. Also note that there is a reception (we should start refusing to go to accommodations where you do not even see the host) with very friendly attention and care about the environment.

Our cottage 17 had just enough space for 4 people. We were well because we were 3.

The location is a dream: out in the countryside with the most fantastic views you can imagine - but be careful which cabin they give you - some have no view.

Way too expensive! Hotels in the neighbourhood are often cheaper and you get more for your money, like breakfast, for example, and modern plumbing. Our cabin was showing its age a bit. That can be charming, but new shower taps, modern electrics, etc, would make a big difference. If you're a big person, you will struggle moving about, especially in the bathroom, which is tiny, tiny.

Beautiful location set in bush land overlooking a lake and snow covered mountains

I’ve no objection to emptying the rubbish, but asking to strip the bed linen is a bit cheeky and an increasing trend

Location

Very nice place

Fantastic location surrounded by wildlife, with room to explore

Cabin would be slightly too small for 4 people. But was fine as there were 3 of us

Nice, quiet and beautiful location

The layout of the cabin was poor, bed only accessible from one side. Bathroom was too small, for bigger people practically impossible to sit on the toilet.

Good access to nearby Husavick and it felt very close to nature - a very peaceful stay.

The accommodation was cramped and the electrical wiring and sockets were rather concerning.

Stunning location Perfectly equipped Super cozy cottage Great for viewing the northern lights Great hot tub Helpful staff I’d highly recommend Húsavík and Kaldbaks-kot cottages

Nothing!

Great location. Close to a lot of things . Good hot tub view. Pottage well equipped with everything.

Bathroom a bit small

Cozy well equipped cabin with as much or as little to do as you want! Surrounded by nature and wonder, but close to Husavik. Could stay at the property and use a boat on the lake, fish, bird watch, soak in the hot tub, etc., It is even possible to walk or drive to town to eat, shop, go to Geo Sea spa or JaJa Ding Dong bar and Eurovision museum. Had a great time and the hosts are lovely and very helpful- we were not smart about how to work the temperature of the shower and they came over to show us!

The path to the cabin was dark and we arrived late so it was hard to make out but not impossible

The cottage was really amazing and well equipped. We didn't cook, but I could see that everything you would need was there. It had a beautiful view out the front of the Fjord, and I could see by the comments written in the guest book that the well marked trails were worthwhile for bird watching and just hiking. For our purposes, it was perfect. We were looking for a location near Myvatn without the high price of a touristy hotel. Highly recommended.

Our front door lock was difficult to manage with a "finicky" key....especially late at night in the dark. This really needs to be replaced. There were hot tubs available for free use, but only if you wanted to share with others. They were always in use. They were in a nice spot and lit up at night. A nice amenity, but unpractical for our personal preferences.
