    There is everything you need in this apartment. We really enjoyed our four night stay. The owners were very friendly. We also liked the dog there which enjoyed some pets :)

    The fire sensor was beeping through the night as a battery was to be replaced.

    Quiet, peaceful, welcoming. Excellent and firm beds. The owner waited to let us in later than the scheduled time of arrival and was very gracious about it. Very spacious. Nice kitchen.

    Everything was great.

    Great place, in fact a full flat with all the ammenities you could expect from the place like that. Very clean and cosy. Very strategically placed especially if you use F35 coming from the interior of the island.

    Very calm place with animals around, surrounded just by the nature but very close to Route 1. The apartment was clean, fully equipped for cooking. Appreciate two separate rooms for sleeping.

    Everything was perfect but one night was just not enough.

    Location off main road was easy and absolutely beautiful. Apartment was very comfortable and clean. Waterfall and Natural warm bath within walking distance was an added bonus we really loved. Host was so welcoming and educated us on their horse training program. Wish we could stay another night it was so comfortable and scenic.

    Not a dislike just more of a potential restriction for late-night travelers: the owner meets you to let you in - which she was very friendly and prompt but does mean it’s not 24 hour check in (as she has a life too) so we just had to adjust our travel to make sure we could meet her in time (9 PM latest check-in). Just something for travelers to keep in mind!

    Spacious and clean. Located on a working farm surrounded by cute horses and dogs. Also a really beautiful area that is a bit off the beaten path so I’m really glad we made the effort to stop in. Central to alot of horse tours and hiking opportunities. Really great experience!

    We loved our stay at Sauerbær Apt, even for just 1 night. We felt homey right away. Friendly welcoming. Very big apt., comfortable beds, good shower, everything clean. Its the only apt, so it was very quiet. Lovely dog. Beautiful waterfall Reykjafall and Fosslaug (hot spring) 25 min walk or 4 min by car (with 10 min walk). We were almost alone there. Would have loved to stay longer!

    Really nothing

    The apartment is on a horse farm…really in the middle of no where. We knew this ahead of time, and we planned accordingly. The apartment was very clean, but with not a lot of frills (of that is what you want). The apartment is larger than I thought it would be, so we were comfortable making dinner and hanging out playing games, for a night. The place was a few minutes drive to a natural hot spring that all you have to do is wear a bathing suit, grab a towel and hop on in. The funniest surprise was when we opened the door heading out to the hot springs, a man was there, with his ice cream truck. Fortunately for him, we didn’t plan a dessert, so they was a perfect ending to a night spent inside.
