The view of the glacier is stunning. The skylight and large window were perfect for viewing the northern lights. The hosts made us feel special on our honeymoon by hanging a congratulations banner. The room is large and the cooktop, tea kettle, and dishes were great for preparing a few meals.

Great view of Northern lights…. Please consider having other cabins’ outdoor lights turn off on a timer after a certain timeframe - we couldn’t figure out how to turn ours off. Also, the coffee pot leaks despite following instructions

View is amazing, the place is very nice, we loved it. It would have been nice to have a microwave but we managed. The hot water is limited so we would get wet turn the water off to soap up then rinse off again to ensure we both had hot water. I would recommend this place to people.

Cozy and adorable

Loved being able to see the glaciers and lupine through the window. Perfect little spot. Beds were comfortable!! Room was warm!! The sheep woke us up chatting in the morning (that’s a good thing, they are so cute!!). Little kitchenette was stocked with exactly what we needed to prepare a small meal for two. Mini fridge! Shower was great. Just have to keep showers short but that was fine.

It was a lovely, compact and amazing room with a roof window for northern light. However, the room I stayed the window wasn’t close properly due to a bent window frame.

Brand new, compact apartment overlooking the glacier (back window). Owner was very personable and helpful. Full glass front window/door with large window over the comfy bed in the back. Good kitchenette with 2 of everything. Great coffee! Love the heated bathroom floors! Shower is a little tight.

This property is a gem of Iceland. The property is easy to find - the conods are the structures in the area. Driving from West to East - just turn left after the glacier foot - can't miss them! :D I received my entry code both in messages in e-mail and Expedia. The room was cozy, quiet, and serene. The kitchenette was much appreciated and included instructions for confused foreign tourists. My only (ultra-picky) complaints came from the desire for more bathroom shelf space, a shower wash cloth, and a roll of paper towel for kitchen spills. I look forward to staying here again and the view from the back will forever be a warm memory in my heart.

Our stay here was okay. We really liked the view and how big the windows were as well as the ceiling window, it made for a great way to see the stars and the northern lights. However, some things were not the most comfortable such as the pillows (provided 2 pillows but they were extremely flat), the window in our unit was not totally closed/sealed and the knob was locked so it seemed that the window had a bit of a flaw as it let a lot of cold air in and one of the days we stayed in was very windy so it made for a very cold night as we could feel the cold wind get in over our heads since the beds were above the window, have to time our showers since hot water is limited, and lastly, could smell the sceptic tank outside the unit at the parking area. Host were very responsive to our questions though and they seemed like nice people.
