A beautiful well equipped cottage in a stunning location. It was clean, easy to get into and the view of the mountains was breathtaking. 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids) stayed there and it was small but well laid out so we felt like we had a good amount of space. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was nice to have coffee, tea and sugar (many places we stayed at on the trip didn’t so this was great to see). We would certainly stay here again and highly recommend this accommodation.

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.

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.

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.

Fire and ice cabin

When we got there the cabin was excessively hot to the point we had to open every door and window in the middle of a rainstorm. We discovered we had no knob on the heat to adjust it and it was unbearably hot. After multiple frustrating conversations with “maintenance” we convinced them to turn off the heat completely at which point it became bearable. The next morning the shower was either ice cold or hot as lava. No in between. The location was great. If the heat and water had any in between it would have been a great cabin. Overall pretty frustrating and not worth the cost.

This place was much, much better than people rate it. 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

We had to wait for almost one hour to get the code. Please make sure you get the code to open the main door. Main room heater was not working. But manager came and gave us a small heater for the night.

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.
