This was a great place for our 2 nights extra stay from our cruise. An easy 45 mins drive from Reykjavik and close to grocery store to stock up for our stay. The cabin is quaint and give you enough privacy to enjoy the beauty of Iceland landscape. The rooms and the loft was lovely.

This property was great! It's your own 2 bedroom cabin with additional sleeping in the loft. Full kitchen and dining area. We wished we would have stayed here 4 nights instead of 2. Private hot tub and the other cabins are spread out so it feels secluded. Highly recommend

Gljúfurbústaðir is a lovely place, perfectly positioned for exploring the South Coast or doing the Golden Circle. Very spacious. Hot tub a nice bonus. Not a big deal, but the hot water smells strongly of sulphur (low carbon footprint!).

If we could give 100 stars we would. Stefan was amazing, the room was excellent. Super accommodating for our family, providing a cot and high chair for our 10 month old. We saw the lights every night from the hot tub and got engaged under the northern lights. Beautiful, spacious, secluded property. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for granting us the opportunity to enjoy your cabin.

The cabin was so cozy and we loved how we felt tucked into the natural surroundings. We cooked a couple meals in the kitchen and found that it had the basics we needed. The location was also convenient to nearby towns for sightseeing, meals, and charging our EV (6-7 minutes away).

Farm Cottage Stay With Excellent Views

Wonderful cottage stay on a farm with plenty of room and everything you need for an enjoyable stay. I particularly liked the fact the cottages are situated so that you cannot see one another, giving you the feeling you are alone. The views from the cottage to the valley below is spectacular.

These are incredible cabins. A brilliant location, just off route one, but in outside of the main town of Hvergardi, so minimal light pollution. We were so lucky to capture the Aurora every night we stayed there - watching them form the hot tub was an amazing experience. The cabins are warm and cozy and had everything you could possibly need for a memory making trip to Iceland. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.

Good for a small group in cabin. Newer sheets and bedding would be nice and make it feel cleaner. Also having coffee for coffee maker would be a nice touch. Would stay there again - good location near many sights and town is less than 10 minutes away with good bakery and there are couple of places to eat, groceries, fuel and ATM.

The cabin was warm and cosy, but there was no space to keep our luggage and the cabin had no closets. No bathing soap was provided and no garbage bags, The hot tub is a plus. Over all enjoyed our stay at the cabin.

Wonderful.

The cabin and the owners were wonderful. We did have a little problem figuring out how to check in. You have to go to the owners home 3pm or later. We were looking for registration at the first cabin. There is a sign that states go 400 m to check in but we thought that meant where the cabins were. Once we checked in things went perfectly. Would definitely stay here again.

This delightful A-frame cottage was perfectly located for exploring the South Coast while still being within an hour or so of Reykjavik & the airport. All of the cozy touches of quilts, wall-hangings, couch pillows, etc. made the space feel like our family belonged there. There was plenty of privacy but we didn't feel isolated. We could see both mountains and the ocean from our windows. It's obvious the hosts/owners really want their guests to feel welcome and informed. It was easy to get into Selfoss for dinner or shopping, and also to get to the great little village of Hveragerdi. I can see why it would be a hit even in winter.

Amazing holiday

Great cabins, well spaced out, good living space, loved the hot tub. Things like kitchen roll, toilet roll, washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, soap... Was all supplied. Leftover spices/herbs from previous users. Only little problem we had is space for our suitcases. As the bedrooms are small and our bags were too high to fit under the bed. But we would definitely return. Saw the northern lights by popping outside. We stayed 5 nights.

Cozy cabin, poor communication

I’m torn about how to rate my experience because the property mostly met my expectations, the experience leading up to my stay did not. I didn’t receive any communication from the property manager leading up to my stay. I tried reaching out through the app to get the address & check-in information, but didn’t receive a response. When I landed in Iceland, I still had not heard back, so I called VRBO’s customer service line. After a very frustrating conversation, I was given the owner’s phone number to try to contact them. The owner advised that VRBO never provided my contact info & didn’t receive my messages thru VRBO’s messaging system. Ultimately, I was able to get in touch with the owner & got the check-in information the same day we spoke. Once I had the information, check-in was very easy. However, it felt like VRBO was putting it all on me to rectify the issue. I don’t understand how I can be charged & receive a confirmation email if my contact info wasn’t shared. I also don’t really understand why the owner didn’t work with VRBO to get my information if there was a known glitch where he sometimes doesn’t receive contact info. It was an incredibly stressful situation to be dealing with in a foreign country, where I had very little access to the internet unless I stopped somewhere that I could connect to the wifi. I booked this 3 bedroom cabin (which is actually 2 bedrooms and a loft) with a friend for a 4 day trip. Only 1 bed was made, so there was an assumption that the reservation for 2 was a couple, which was not the case. Also, there were only 2 towels and 2 hand towels provided for a 4 day stay, no additional towels or linens (that we could find). I did reach out for extra towels, but the reception hours were not convenient for our travel plans, so I wasn’t able to pick them up. The cabin was cozy & warm. It lacks storage, so there wasn’t really anywhere to tuck away our large luggage or hang/store clothes, but it was fine for a 4 day stay. I couldn’t imagine staying here with 6 people though, it would be very tight! The hot tub was nice & we even saw the northern lights from the cabin one night! It was also conveniently located for our plans to see Reykjavík, the Golden Circle & day trip to Jökulsárlón.
