    Nice little cottage to spend a night. Too bad the sky was cloudy and no chance for the Northern Light.

    The location and scenery around the cabin was beautiful. Staff friendly and helpful. Cabin has everything you need and was a great base for us. We saw northern lights from the cabin on 2 nights!

    Very clean, good wifi and perfectly placed out in the countryside and dark to see the northern lights! The owner was friendly and key collection was easy. The house was nice and warm even with below zero temperatures outside.

    Lovely cottage, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen. Nice and very responsive host. Almost no light pollution, which granted us one of the best aurora nights in Iceland!

    The cottage is perfect, we liked every single thing about it. The bed is extremely comfortable, everything is super clean and full equip. The owner is also a very kind person, we had a delay in our flight and we could arrive later with no pressure.

    Super cabin exceeding all the expectations! Nice, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything what could be needed (even coffee capsules). Very comfortable, the interior was created with an eye for the practical details. The view is spectacular....
