Smooth and easy check in. Clean. Friendly. ##### Mags Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### james 9 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Nice location No kitchen outlets except on floor Very inexpensive plates chairs etc. Very expensive, needs upgrading ##### james Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hung 17 Aug 2025 The landlady or other manager did NOT appreciate me calling for check in instructions as per their first email. They eventually do email you a cottage and a door code. The cottage I had (#105) does have a hot plate, toaster, plates, cups -- but the outlets are all on the floor. The shower is very hit and miss - pulses cold, then warm. It is easy to accidentally scald yourself. Oh, we also ran out of toilet paper as well. You do overlook a pretty hillside, though. ##### Hung Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica 23 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The views around the property were grand. It is an amazing property nestled at the base of some mountains. The best thing is the view of the mountain in the morning. Only two concerns; we came very late after hours and it was hard to get the access code by messaging and calling; and there was a used makeup sponge left in the bathroom. ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 4 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We loved our stay. The cabin had a kitchenette with hot plate, toaster, microwave, plates, cups, utinsels for 4, it was perfect for us. Hot water in the shower comes and goes but part of the experience I guess. We hiked up the mountainside right behind our cabin and enjoyed an amazing view. We hiked up to the very close Seljavallalaug swimming pool which was also cool. Loved our stay. I don't see why they won't allow check-in times later than 9pm. We were aware of that deadline and arrived at 8:30pm so it was fine, but it's just a normal key in a lockbox by the door, which means someone is removing that key manually at 9pm if you haven't checked in... just be aware of that. ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christian 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication Cabin was relatively newly built - very basic but practical. Servicable kitchen, beds were comfortable, heat worked,etc. Only complaint was the shower - it would run fine (bordering on scalding) for a while, then the hot water would abruptly cut out. Happened once every 1-2 minutes. There was no answer on the phone line we received from Expedia. ##### Christian Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tim 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Amenities Clean and in an amazing position, but that's where thd positives end. When you pay a high price for something you expect quality in return. I could overlook the issues at half the price charged, but..... Faulty (and dangerously unpredictable) shower, bathroom door that doesn’t shut, no accessible sockets to plug the kitchen electricals into - there's more, but you get the picture. No obvious way to communicate with anyone to fix the problems either. Disappointing and not to be recommended. ##### Tim Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ruben 7 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful area, cabin was a cozy place to rest. ##### Ruben Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 14 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great place ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica 24 Aug 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The cottage is located in a very quiet and peaceful area among other cottages, which we appreciated. Check-in was generally easy, and the instructions with the entry code were sent in advance. However, there was some miscommunication during arrival. I arrived around 3:30 PM (check-in was at 4:00 PM) and spoke with someone at the main house, which seems to function like a reception. (Or at least I thought bc it had signs and said ‘Reception’. I asked if I could check in early or drop off my bags and he said if I had the email with the code, then I could. Perhaps this was the miscommunication and he may have thought I was asking how to get in? Moments later, a teenager from another house on the property came out and rather aggressively told us that the cottage wasn’t ready and we couldn’t enter, so we left immediately and returned later that evening after dinner. That night, we encountered an issue with the shower: the water temperature fluctuated dramatically from scalding hot to cold within seconds. My husband was even burned on the shoulder by the hot water. I contacted the host right away, but unfortunately, I never received a response — even a week later. I even sent a message to advise that the bathroom hand soap bottle was empty and no response either. There were also multiple flies trapped inside the cottage when we arrived too. Overall, the location is quiet and has potential, but the communication, cleanliness, and maintenance left a lot to be desired. ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ying 30 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful mountain and ocean views!

It’s a cute little cabin -- clean and cozy. Parking was easy, and the surrounding area is beautiful. My only complaint was that the shower water temperature was hard to get just right. Otherwise, it was perfect ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Haiyan 18 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Convenient location ##### Haiyan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### R'twick 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I understand its a cabin but there were no toiletries, there wasn’t even a lock on the bathroom door. The location is nice.. view of the mountain was awesome. We enjoyed sitting outside till late night. However, giving 4 star just because of the bathroom. ##### R'twick Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monimala 8 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful ! ##### Monimala Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Evi 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort, communication #### Avoid this place We did not receive an email with check inn details. Staf could not be reached, not by phone and no answer on email. The cottage is outdated and too cold inside. You can feel the wind inside! Good location but ridiculously overpriced and non-exisiting communication. No wifi available. Avoid this place! ##### Evi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda Vidler 2 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Wonderfully serene! Wonderfully serene. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Parking was right next to the cottage. It's not far to the next town, so shopping isn't hard either. The valley behind the cottages goes right up to the glacier. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A786D3887C08540C45F628851904DFE403577D2A1662157990589.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Linda Vidler Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stephen 15 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Basic accommodation nearby many great sites. A tight fit for 4 people, but got a good nights rest. Cons: Most windows don't open, very few hooks, view from front porch is of a large number of new small huts. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peyush 22 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness This property had basic amenities and is ideal for folks who want to detach themselves from their busy schedule, internet et al.
