    Great little cabin that was comfortable and quiet. Nestled on a working farm with two awesome dogs that were great hosts as well (friendly and playful). Recommend that you bring your own food as it’s a fair bit of a drive to the nearest restaurant.

    Amma Jona is the coziest little cottage. Spotless clean and comfortable with a stunning view you can enjoy through the enormous window. Hosts went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.

    First of all, I would like to thank Jana and Einar! They were very friendly, kind and helpful hosts! We stayed for 1 night! The location of the cottage was perfect with free parking! The cottage was brand new, very beautiful and warm! I definitely recommend this cottage for your stay!

    A washing machine would have been fantastic. We really struggled to find any self contained places in Iceland that had a washing machine.

    attractive property, well designed, in a lovely location with views across the fields. Everything that was advertised was there. The farmhouse/hotel next door (east) has a very nice restaurant. A 5 minute walk across the fields. Kitchen was also very useable and we appreciated oil and few essentials available. We never saw the owners but that wasn’t an issue. We were able to phone them. We liked the dogs even though they are interested in you only as long as you throw a stick for them.

    We travelled around Iceland for two weeks and these were the best accommodations of all. Exceptionally clean, new construction, modern design, boutique quality linens and towels, very comfortable beds, super nice owners. Our family had a wonderful time despite the gloomy weather. We didn't want to leave and will certainly be back! Thank you for making our stay so pleasant!

    We stayed 5 nights (2 adults and 2 children). Very nice layout, with a spacious sleeping loft. Well-equipped kitchen and fresh hygiene area. Clean and neat and comfy bedding. Familiar and pleasant reception. We felt so welcome on the whole farm and got to take part in farm life with cows, chickens, dogs etc. This accommodation is a real gem with genuine Icelandic outdoor adventures within easy reach as well as close to many tourist attractions. Our children cried when we left, we would have liked to stay longer!

    There was no such thing

    Everything was just perfect. The cottage is located in a beautiful scenery and it has everything you need. It’s small but very comfortable. The owner greeted us very warmly and we just loved their dogs, they are so cute😍 We would love to stay there longer but we already had next accomodations booked. Thank you and warm greetings to the host 🥰

    The location was so relaxing in such a tranquil farm setting. We loved this tiny house. It was perfect for the three of us. The owners were very kind and helpful and their dogs were super sweet and gentle. We stayed two nights as we explored the area around Vik, coming back to cook some dinner before sleeping soundly. We highly recommend.

    The kitchen is a tad small.

    It is a very pleasant stay. The house is new and clean. It is in the center of a farm. When you get up in the morning, you see horses, cows, and chickens roaming around. The cabin comes with a huge floor to ceiling window, certainly a big plus!

    None! You do need to space out the showering a bit so you don’t run out of hot water. You can see the meter on the heater.

    Everything is well designed. Kitchen was stocked with pots and pan and oil and spices. Easy check in. The space while not huge worked fine for our family of four adults.

    The cottage locates between the Seljalandsfoss and the Skógafoss so we were able to visit both falls twice in two days. The view outside the cottage is also excellent. The cottage is very new and the hosts are very friendly. We can feel that they put lots of effort into this cottage. Highly recommend this place!

    The chalet is small and felt a little cramped for 3 adults (specially in the loft area which has very low ceiling) but it is consistent w the small spaces typical of the area. But the lack of space was far outweighed by the comfort, cleanliness and outstanding location.

    The location provides spectacular views. Kitchen was well equipped. Bedding was exceptionally comfortable.
