Excellent stay in quet community

Great place in the quiet suburbs- very quick to get into town for groceries or restaurants, and perfected situated as a base camp for adventures in the area. Well equipped with some nice extras (spices, cooking oil, toiletries). Was comfortable for 4 adults and has nice cooking and dining area. Owner was very helpful and provided excellent guides for day trips and highlights in the area.

Location was perfect for our stay in Iceland. We had a car and used Selfoss as our base for the south road and golden circle.
The property is in a quiet neighborhood near restaurants and grocery stores.
The kitchen is well stocked. I would definitely stay here again.

The house is in a very quiet neighborhood but is very close to good shopping and restaurants. Selfoss is much larger than we had anticipated and it was a great locatuon to use as a base for severalnday trips atound the area. The house was great. Excellent kitchen. Amazing huge bathtub with unlimited hot spring water. My wife and her sister basically lived in the tub when we got back from our day trips. We spent 4 great days in the area. End of winter so some light snow one day and rain or clear others. We missed the northen lights due to wether, but the scenery and waterfall hikes and geysers and other hikes were awesome. Easy access to the house. We would definitely stay here again. Only issue was we didn't hear anything about getting into the house until just a week before our trip. Made us nervous, but then communication after that with host was great.

Just returned from 4 night stay in Selfoss. We were very impressed by the cleanliness, cosyness and exceptionally well equipped house.
The situation of the property was really good to be able to venture to all different parts of Iceland. Situated in a lovely quiet street with easy access to shops. I would recommend this property to anyone wishing stay in the Selfoss area. A big thank you for helping to make our holiday in Iceland unforgettable.

We enjoyed our stay in Selfoss! The apartment was clean and neat and worked well for our family of 4. Also close to restaurants - we enjoyed the food hall for dinner in town. Great place to stay after driving the Golden Circle.

This was a great place to end our trip. The hoise was spacious and equipped with everything and more. The hosts have a guest book with useful information about the house but about the region. We were not able to enjoy the patio because of the rain but were able to enjoy a movie and cook good meals. The house was super clean and everything in good condition.

Great space to stay near the city but far enough to enjoy the true beauty of Iceland which is the nature.

The property owners were very prompt in answering our questions on placed to go and things to do and had great recommendations.

Perfect stay, perfect lacoation. Really nice generous space of each room. For us, like a family with children under 12, is always important accomodation. Im not afraid to say, that this was one of the best ! <3

We rented this house after 4 days in Reykjavik and many tours. It provided some much needed privacy and serenity. We cooked dinners & ate in the food hall in town. The location was fabulous for a day trip to Vik & Black Sand Beaches (Game of Thrones fans, this is a must!). The Owners were SUPER kind and responsive while we stayed. No question was silly. The beds were all very comfortable as was the sofa in main living room. Plenty of space for a family of 5 (we were only 2 with an adult son). Grocery store down the street, mini mart even closer and 3 minute drive onto the main street. We’d absolutely stay here again

Lovely little house in a neighborhood. Many places to stay feel more like hotels, but this place definitely felt like someone's house in a residential neighborhood. Selfoss isn't a big town, so it's just a couple blocks to get to the center of town and all the retail and restaurants. Selfoss also is a nice location to get to lots of different places (Golden Circle, Vestmannaeyjar, Lava Tunnel, etc.), so it was a great home base for a couple days.

Wonderful home in perfect location to explore the south coast and golden circle
Our first visit to Iceland. We wanted to spend a few days outside of Reykjavik, in order to explore the south coast and parts of the golden circle. Selfoss was the perfect location - golden circle sights like Geysir and the Crater were a quick drive, while this location also made the south coast and Vik just a short ride away. The house was well-maintained and comfy - had everything that we needed. And the hosts were incredibly accommodating. Would stay here again given the chance.

Comfortable and quiet
Very nice home, well stocked kitchen equipment, and very comfortable bed. It’s also a nice location to explore the South part of the island from. Although it is in town, it was a surprisingly very quiet neighborhood. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Judith.

Great house in Selfoss
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this lovely, well-decorated home in Selfoss. The location is excellent for Golden Circle explorations. The kitchen is very well-equipped and includes many staples you would need for cooking. There are laundry facilities, but be aware that the machines are small and the dryer takes a long time to get things dry, so allow plenty of time. (We were there during some very heavy rain, so were not able to line dry anything). The town of Selfoss is very nice as well, with convenient shops, restaurants, and swimming. Many thanks to our hosts!

Three friends and I stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of our week-long February driving trip. Very nice decor, exceptionally clean. Hosts were accommodating and the unit had everything we needed. We were able to walk to town for dinner the first night. Drove the Golden Circle from there and finished at the Fontana thermal baths. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

We enjoyed our stay here in Selfoss. It was a great location. We hiked up to the Reykjadalur thermal river just outside of Selfoss. Pretty hike, 45-60 minutes. Bring your swimsuits and then sit in the great hot springs!

Well furnished apartment in great location
This apartment was safe and secure, clean, well furnished, and comfortable. The location is great for exploring the south coast and areas east of Reykjavik. Owner communicated well, keys were left in a lockbox so our late arrival was no issue. Would recommend.

Pleasant and cozy!
We loved our trip to Iceland. Travelled with three kids and felt better to have a home to go to each night. This place was perfect and great value as per Iceland’s cost of living. We were absolutely delighted with our stay. The only downside (and nothing to do with the quality of the home) was that we didn’t realize how big the country is and how far to drive to get to all the cool stuff. Returning to the same city every night limited how far away we could travel. This place is a great place to stay for a “base camp” for the southwest corner of the country.
