    The bathroom floor was extremely rotten and we were afraid to take a shower and didn't use the toilet unless absolutely needed. This needs to be addressed! Also the main door knob needs fixed. The beds were very narrow, didn't feel like a single mattress.

    The size of the house and all of the appliances

    We spent a night here on our journey to Snaefellsnes, and we couldn't be more pleased with our choice. The small, cozy cabin features 3 bedrooms. While there wasn't much room for our luggage, the welcoming atmosphere was what truly mattered. It had a homey vibe, offering us privacy and a sense of serenity. With the chilly weather outside, the cabin felt clean and warm. Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful space, what's more, there's a private hot tub right outside the door step!!!! :))

    All six beds were singles! We would have preferred one of the 3 bedrooms to have a double bed.

    This rustic cottage was a few kilometres out of Blonduos, just off the main road. It was easy to find and very private. The location was picturesque and convenient for an overnight stay. The rooms were small and cosy with very comfortable furniture. The kitchen was also small but well-equipped. We had a very pleasant stay.

    Great remote stay for those looking to catch the Northern Lights easily!

    We were expecting to use the hot tub for a soak but unfortunately the pipes to fill the hot tub were broken (we were informed a few days before our arrival). We would normally expect an extractor fan in the bathroom but there wasn't one here which made the bathroom humid for the next person.

    Property is located in the middle of a farm land, so it is a bit remote but it would be great for seeing the Northern Lights (there are windows on all 4 sides of the property too). Two of the room sizes are cosy (enough for 2 single beds with a night stand in the middle), there is another double bedroom too. Spacious hallway with a bench and coat hangers for plenty of boots (and a place to sit whilst removing/ putting on boots), coats and luggage space. Kitchen only has 2 stove tops and no oven, but this is fine for those not looking to cook extravagant meals.

    The water has some natural smell like Geysir Hot Springs. But it did not bother me at all. Just not drinking it.

    The cottage is well fit with 6 people since there were 3 rooms with 2 beds in each room. The mattress and pillows were clean and soft. I also like the blanket which can keep me warm all through the night. We could cook Thai food easily using the kitchenette provided. Many thanks.

    The place is a little outdated and the floor in the bathroom is wonky. Anyways it was good value for money.

    The cottage is cozy and has a lot of space. The location is remote and quiet. Bet it would be a good spot to see northern lights, if it hadn't been so cloudy.

    Small bedrooms and beds with nowhere to put luggage. Cooking facilities inadequate for more than very basic meals with a small 2 hob stove with no oven. Bathroom facilities need to be completely refurbished. The shower is tiny and the bathroom floor has obviously suffered with water damage.

    Is a cosy and comfortable cottage just off the main route 1 which is very convenient for a nights stopover. Good value.

    The location is good especially if your are doing the full Iceland circle shopping Route 1. Due to heavy snow our AWD SUV got stuck very close to the cottage, but our guest sorted it out quickly. They made our stay comfortable. Thanks.

    The shower was awful small. My kids and husband are all over 6 feet tall and even I had trouble fitting. The floors in the kitchen/living room are just plywood. Seems I fished to me. It is very clean and well decorated just unfinished. Also so many candles but no way to light one! Lol. Could use a washer and dryer? As we always seemed to be wet in Iceland.

    The space is nice. Three bedrooms, a mud room and living room/kitchen. Great space for a family. We got in late so didn’t see the hot tub.

    We did not end up in the hot tub as we had hoped. After filling it, it was only luke warm.

    The Laxas cottage was clean, comfortable and well appointed. It was a warm relaxing place for our family of 5 after a long day of travels.

    Two rooms next to each other and next to the kitchen (for 4 people) and one which is on the other side of the cottage, where I slept with my fiancé (I like the fact that I didn’t hear my snoring grandma). Perfect I like the rock in front of the door, really sweet

    3 small bedrooms with single beds in all of them. The floor in the bathroom was rotten and was very unstable, almost to the point of going through it. The toaster didn’t work and given that it sleeps 6, there were only 4 chairs at the small dining table. It’s advertised as having a hot tub, which it did, however, we received a message saying that we would need to fill it upon our arrival and empty it on departure. We only stayed one night and therefore, didn’t have the opportunity to actually use it. The kitchen only had two hobs and as a family of 5, caused a bit of a problem when cooking. Also didn’t have an oven. The whole place felt tired and a bit dilapidated and could do with a makeover.

    Location for what we needed as a family was perfect.
