amazing place in the wilderness of iceland

to many spiders

Location was amazing, views were amazing. Even had a visit from a local cat for the night

Location was excellent for travelling around and seeing the area around Vik and the surrounding area, not too far too travel to see local attractions. Having a hot tub to relax in after a long day out especially with other teenagers. The place was spacious and very clean

Nothing

This lovely home was so peaceful and quiet! it’s nicely finished, had plenty of room for my family of 5, and having a washer plus a dryer was essential to keeping our packing light. Everything was very clean, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen well stocked. The hot tub was a fun treat to sit outside at night and watch the horses. And the horses— we loved seeing them at the fence line right behind the house! The hosts are super responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend this home when visiting the Golden Circle area, as the location is quite convenient for sightseeing, hot springs, and horseback riding tours.

Honestly have no complaints!

Situated in the country with gorgeous views and horses grazing out the front deck, it was peaceful and relaxing. There are 2 towns nearby for groceries or take-away, and there's easy access to the sights on the Golden Circle. The geothermal river with hot springs is also nearby. 2 bathrooms each with a shower was hugely helpful for our family of 6. We enjoyed the hot tub every night as well, watching the horses graze nearby. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Nothing - it was a great stay.

Nice host. Beatiful surroundings. Nature in form of horses just outside the house. Very very nice

All fine. So nothing

Super comfortable beds. Peaceful. Tranquil setting

Spacious house, we were a group of 8 and had plenty of room for the kids to run around and play. Good starting point to explore the south and south-west of the island. The horses were awesome!

Nothing, all good!

we had a great time here at Strýta, even the weather was not so great while our 5 day visit.

The Stryta Guesthouse is the place where you love to stay when visiting South Iceland: situated close to Hveragerdi, but not close to main road no 1. There you wake up with a phenomenal view and it only gets better: there's no personnel, which means you really feel at home all the time; the kitchen is huge and equipped with anything you need to prepare meals. The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so for 5 persons it is optimal. We had coffe machine, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and a dryer - everything. The host Krissa, was always ready to help via Booking messages as well as personally. We came to the farm in the night at 4.30 am in a horrible snowstorm, everything was covered with snow. Krissa woke up very early, invited us to the coffe room in stables. To have a coffe "with horses" was great... in the meantime her husband drive snow plough to remove snowbanks. after his great job we followed him to our amazing, warm house. So, we met great people with horses, dogs and cat. We were happy also because of the hot tube on the terrace, which we used with fun. Everything feels like it has been managed with care and love, and that's the best a guest can find in any trip. I will definitely come back if visiting Iceland again.

no reasons for claims

Just amazing

Super nice location with a superb hot pot and good infrastructure. Shopping supplies are just a few kilometres away, still the place is very quiet.

Shower, oven and coffeemaker were not perfectly clean, all other stuff was well maintained. Wireless was not totally stable.

Everything. Very spacious, had everything you could possibly want, and the host was a lovely lady,

Nothing.

The space, the view with horses right in front of the house, the hottub, two bathrooms, easy to approach owners, location close to the ring road… One of our favourite accommodations in Iceland!

The mattress of one the double beds was a bit too soft for adults, we rolled into the middle and decided to switch rooms with one of our children. Also the WiFi is not very reliable.

We loved this property so much, we didn’t want to leave! The house is very cozy and comfortable, kitchen stocked with all the basics (we cooked every day in the week of our stay, and everything we needed was there), and the setting is spectacular. The house feels remote when you are in it, but you can easily access many south coast towns and sights. Krissa was accommodating about our check-in time and helpful in showing us how everything worked. The horses are so much fun to watch, and the dogs and cat who live on the property stopped by to say hello most days. It felt more like a home than a rental.

We loved everything!

We loved staying in the beautiful guesthouse, watching the horses and foals and enjoying the hottub! Inspite of rainy weather we really enjoyed our stay! The owners are really caring and helping out immediately when there are questions. The house was really tidy and there was plenty of space inside and a big terrace on the outside. It is close to road number one but still very calm. Shopping 5min drive away kn hveragerdi, Reykjavik as well as the volcano in a bit less than an hour away. We can only recommend a stay at this lovely place!!! Thanks a lot!

Nothing!

Where to start! It’s so spacious - so much more so than the pictures suggest in the description. Tastefully decorated with every convenience including a fabulous hot tub with an even more fabulous view over the fields surrounding the property and the horses contained within them. I would come back here again in a heartbeat :)

Nothing!

Perfect! Top of the top - this was our favourite stay during our Iceland road trip and we were so happy that we've reserved a stay in this home for 4 nights. Everything was perfect about this house - it was big, pretty, very well equipped (well-equipped kitchen - it was a pleasure to cook there own meals; a washing machine and a dryer), extremely comfortable. We felt there like at home. We enjoyed also the hot tube. Also, the surrounding was so beautiful and peaceful and it was a pleasure to observe the horses every day :) The owner was so super nice during our whole stay - we felt very much welcomed there. I loved this house, would definitely stay there again and I recommend it to everyone!

Nothing to complaint about - everything was perfect

This ended up being our favorite stay during our trip. The location was great and a perfect place near the end of our Ring Road journey and from which to start/end our day on the Golden Circle. It had a nice layout for our family of five and we could easily spend time all together or spread out a bit. The hot tub was lovely and easy to use - you could relax and watch the horses grazing a few feet away. This was also our only stay with both a washing machine and separate dryer which was amazing to have. Our host was lovely and accommodating. It was also close to town/stores/restaurants, etc. Highly recommend this home.

No complaints.

Home was perfect for our family of 5. So quiet and peaceful. Kids sat and watched the horses the whole time. Perfect start to our vacation. We especially loved the hot tub and proximity to the hot river hike and Viking restaurant. Highly recommend! Owner was wonderful as well!

Loved everything.

The location is good, house is clean and fully equiped, the owners are wonderful people. It was a beautiful, quiet, rainy weekend for us✨ It also didn't hurt having horses right outside the window for our little girl to enjoy watching❤️

Nothing

I liked everything about it the owner Krissa is a really nice person and told us all the important things about the guesthouse where things were located and so on. The place was clean and the location was really really nice close to selfoss and from there the golden circle is not so far away. 10/10

Great! Very friendly owner! Thank you for very nice stay!

Comfortable, well-heated, very clean and well equipped. Pleasant service with owner. Well appointed between top attractions; relaxing place to come back to at the end of a full day sight seeing.

There was nothing myself or my family disliked about this property or location.
