Our experience here was great. The cottage is really nice and has everything you need after a day of sight seeing. I didn’t go to Iceland to sit inside all day but the beds are comfortable, the showers were clean and hot, and the host Helga is a wonderful person. She came over and gave us lots of helpful tips of things to do with the kids. I liked the location because it’s away from the city. I liked this because I was able to meet locals and get to know the area. Icelanders are extremely friendly and helpful, I definitely want to go back.

This cozy cottage was exactly like the description. Helga was an amazing host and we loved the little treat that was left for us. There was no issue when it came to communication and we would booked this again and again.

Beautiful space and well laid out for a family. Great location if you’re looking for hiking and Hot Springs also close enough to Reykjavik for day trips- and all the amazing sites on the golden circle. Fabulous host!

The property is exactly as described so no surprises there. Our only issue was that a couple of repairs need to be made (bathroom door & hot water kettle). We needed some extra regular pillow covers (but we did not call the property manager for this). The cabin is very quaint, in an outstanding location, and the area is so very quiet you feel as though you are the only one in the area. Great location and would rent again.

Great location to explore Thingvellir and in a town filled with green house and hot springs! Helga was very responsive and quick to resolve any conflicts.

The house is located on the property of another house, which I couldn't tell from the photos but it's explained in the host video. I stayed for two nights and enjoyed how close everything was as far as groceries, gas, a delicious local bakery, a few restaurants, several popular hot spring areas, and of course, the Golden Circle route. The host was very communicative and flexible, which I am always grateful for. I would certainly stay here again.

The pics of the property are exceptionally well done. The home looks spacious in a woodsy setting. It’s actually very small, offering a full bed in a studio apartment setting that includes an efficiency kitchen, very large table and small couch, and a separate bedroom that fits a double bed and not much else. There’s very little unpacking room and a teeny-tiny bathroom. There may be a loft bedroom but it was sealed up and seemed to primarily be used for storage. Not what we needed for 4 adults. The setting was unexpected-it’s literally in a suburban back yard-with the windows of the rental directly facing the windows of owners home. We were forced to close the blinds for the entire stay to avoid being on constant display. This might be right for a couple with fewer inhibitions, but was not comfortable for 4 adults including my daughter and her fiancé.

Pre-trip communication with Helga was excellent! She provided some restaurant options, two of which we tried and they were very good. The cottage was easily located and is very unique, both inside and outside. Some nice touches were washcloths, a hairdryer, and fresh Icelandic bread. Improvements could be made, though, on the following: The shower doors didn't close entirely, so water leaked outside of it. The drain had a sharp rubber piece sticking up which hurt when stepped on. Shampoo and soap dispensers weren't filled. Our 31-year-old son slept in the loft which was very small and somewhat claustrophobic. We strongly recommend installing a carpet runner or railing on those steep stairs. They seemed dangerous to all of us. In the bedroom, there's no room at the foot of the beds so you must climb over the person sleeping on the outside bed. I opted to sleep on the bed in the main living area.

Cottage was in a nice location and clean. Kitchenette was adequate. Was a little too small for our family of 4 with two teens, but would likely be fine for fewer people or younger kids. Easy check-in and orientation video from host. Parking available at residence.

Great location for where we came from and were going onto. Cute cottage, had what we needed for our stay. Easy to find, checkin, bedding, plenty of towels, clean and cozy! She also had some bread and butter for us to enjoy when we got there. Got lots of info for food, activities, sights from the owner ahead of time. My son left his AirPods behind in the upstairs loft and the owner found them and came all the way out to us in Reyk to drop them off!! Above and beyond!! Thank you for making it such a great stay!

The cabin was lovely, evidently they are not prepared for 7 day rental because we were given one towel per person and no way to do laundry. When renting the cabin I didn’t realize we would only have access to half of the loft which seemed very unfair since we rented the whole cabin. There was no broom for sweeping There was no way to keep ice we asked the owner and she didn’t have a cooler or ice chest for us to store ice so we had to purchase ice everyday Other than that we did fine

What a wonderful host and cozy cabin we were lucky enough to enjoy during our stay in Iceland. The pictures of the cabin are accurate and my friend and I enjoyed the bread that was left for us to enjoy. The place was very clean and had everything that we needed. We stayed for one night and the beds were super comfortable. The cabin is about 5-6 minutes away from a postoffice, bakery (yummy) and grocery store. You could not ask for a better location or a better host. We would absolutely stay here again.

Warm and cozy cottage

Warm and cozy cottage

We picked this town as a stopover between the Golden Circle and the Ring Road and this cottage was quiet and comfortable and perfectly sized for a family of four for that purpose, with the added bonus of relatively dark bedrooms in the midnight sun. As others have mentioned it was an easy walk to a great pizza/brewery place in town for dinner. The only tiny disappointment is that other reviewers all mentioned a fresh baked loaf of bread being provided for breakfast. While that’s not officially in the property listing, there was a sign in the cottage inviting us to enjoy it so I guess it was supposed to be there... just a small thing, but maybe if you’re staying here just don’t plan for that to be your breakfast!

We had a wonderful stay in the "Beautiful Summerhouse". The little wooden house has all the comforts you need for a pleasant stay - comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen supplies, complimentary coffee and tea, and even freshly baked bread! We almost hated to leave but Iceland has too much to explore to stay inside. Helga is very responsive and left plenty of good information for us to utilize. We would definitely come to stay here again and we would highly recommend Helga's home to anyone coming to the area. Hveragerði is a great little town with many sites to explore.

This was a lovely property with easy access to the Golden Circle and the South Coast. Very good communication with management. They had a small hot loaf of bread in the apartment upon check in. It was just my son and I but was large enough for a small group. It lived up to the photos posted.

We so enjoyed our stay at Helga’s - the cottage is sweet and peaceful and her hospitality was very welcoming. The town had some great restaurants (highly recommend the pizza place!), and my husband enjoyed a hike into the hills at midnight, and had plenty of company up there.
