    Great concept with flaws.

    Easy self check-in. Small but comfortable rooms. Very clean. Warm water is (as communicated) restricted as it is heated by a boiler system. However: while the little houses look beautiful on pictures, they don’t quite do the impression justice. The big windows and view open out to the road and walkway between the separate huts, so people walk by the bedroom frequently. If you value privacy, you will be prompted to close the curtains as soon as it gets darker. We were lucky to have one of the last houses in the row, so we did not have another house right in front of us. Most of the other huts are not as lucky. There is no view of the mountain from inside the rooms. Also, be aware while there is a small refrigerator, a water kettle and a microwave, there is no silverware or dishes provided. The whole setup is very simple. However, the location in Arnastapi is beautiful. There are several gorgeous sights to see in the area. So if you are looking for a place to sleep for day activities, this place is nice. We just imagined it a little differently than it actually was.

    Gorgeous location. Great place. It’s my second time there. The staff from the restaurant are very nice. The cleaning staff too. I just happen to forget something and they told me I would be contacted back but they never did. Arnastapi is a great place to be. It’s an important place for me as I have family stories there. I totally recommend sleeping here and visit the neighbouring landscapes.

    Absolutely breathtaking location! The view from the cottage of the Atlantic Ocean, mountains, and just a few distant houses was incredible. I’d stay here again, even if it meant sleeping on the floor. The cottage itself looks very cozy from the outside. Inside, it’s a bit basic, but everything was clean and comfortable.

    (1) there is no shampoo or body gel supplied but rather “hand cream” (see the photo), (2) hot water runs out quickly, in 3 mins. Understand the availability of hot water is scarce in that area, but I have been to worse areas even in West Fjords and their hot water supply was much longer than, (3) there is micro oven and refrigerator, but interesting no dish no eating utensils are available (4) the welcoming message gives a warm welcome but ask us “kindly not contact them if any issue” because there is not much they will be able to help I think the infrastructure is there. Just need a bit improvement and it can become great from good.

    Great location, modern decoration, quite spacious - it has all the infrastructure it needs to become a very best cottage / hotel in the area

    The area lacks signage, we had a hard time finding the entrance and parking to the cottages.

    Cottage design is beautiful. Bed was comfortable.

    We had high expectations after booking the accommodation as we wanted this to be our treat after busy days exploring Iceland. When we arrived we were disappointed and took us really long time to open the door. - WiFi was not working at all. - One small pillow per person. - No hand towel. For money spent at least filter coffee machine would be expected as well as better hairdryer.

    - Clean and cozy room.
