My stay at Istay Cottage was unplanned after my flight was canceled, but it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. The cottage was cozy, clean, and very comfortable — exactly what I needed after a long travel day. The best part was the incredible view of the Northern Lights right from the property — an unforgettable experience I hadn’t expected to have! The host was kind and accommodating, making a stressful situation much easier. I’m so glad I ended up here and would happily stay again under any circumstance.

Common area was clean, and extremely well equipped. The cabin was small, but comfortable. One suggestion would be something that holds the blinds from moving when they're drawn so they don't clank on the wall when the window is open. Otherwise, a great stay close to the airport, good first/last night location!

Nice cabin with great amenities nearby. The bathroom was very modern and spacious. The cabin was very clean and it was easy to access it. It is located in a quiet environment, but near Keflavik and the airport. It was nice to see horses in the field just beside it!

Highly recommend

This was a really nice place. There are 8 cabins with comfortable beds, a heater a short wooden path to some large bathrooms and really nice kitchen/common area. I took advantage of the public pool down the street for my last night in Iceland. You won't want to miss the lighthouse at sunset either. Such a great ending to an amazing vacation!
