Ruhige kleine Hütte in der Nähe eines Hofs mit guter Lage
Schönes Häuschen, große Parkfläche vor dem Haus, Küche modern, Bad sauber und mit großem Heizkörper, Esstisch und Couch vorhanden, Wasserdruck sehr gut (ist nicht überall so), Sonnenblenden im ganzen Haus, ruhige Lage aber trotzdem sehr nahe an Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Borgarnes, sehr netter Service mit Zusatzinformationen während des Aufenthalts. Allgemein sehr sauber!
Ein kleiner Fernseher im Eck würde wirklich gut sein, insbesondere bei Regentagen und am Abend. Küchenausstattung nicht vollständig, aber trotzdem gut.

Superb
Comfortable, nicely decorated little house, comfi beds, beautiful location, nice host.
Thee can be lots of midges, they woke us up at night by stinging us. Keep the windows closed as much as possible. Insect screens for the windows would be nice.

Wilderness paradise
Superb location, very beautiful and peaceful. It feels like you are thoroughly in the wilderness, yet Borgarnes is a short drive. It's also a good base for driving to Snaefellsnes as well as the tourist hot spots of the Golden Circle. There's also a wonderfully isolated, fairly unknown hot spring close by. The cottage is comfortable and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The self check-in functioned smoothly. Owners sent very detailed directions and location coordinates which helped us find the cottage easily. Views around the cottage are amazing! Mountains and what feels like the entire sky surround the place. One can easily expect to see the aurora borealis here. Fully equipped kitchen, with all necessary things to cook.
While the cottage in itself is cosy, it is rather on a small size. Advertised as a place for 4, still probably only perfect in size for 2. The kitchen and bathroom are small, too. Very efficient, but small. No proper storage place. Staying longer than 1-2 nights might get a bit claustrophobic with luggage laying around. Bugs and flying ants are all over the place, loving the warmth of the house. This makes the cottage looking tad dirty (which is no hosts fault). There is also some dust in corners. In comparison to some other properties a bit dated and in a need of an upkeep.

Remote location, very beautiful and peaceful. The cabin is comfortable and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The self check-in functioned smoothly.
There are a gazillion flies and even more biting midges. At the end of my stay I was fully covered in bug bites, something that didn’t happen anywhere else on my trip in Iceland. If you stay here, come equipped with insect repellent!

Cosy cabin in the wilderness
Superb location - it feels like you are thoroughly in the wilderness, yet Borgarnes is a short drive. It's also a good base for driving to Snaefellsnes as well as the tourist hot spots of the Golden Circle. Given the dark skies, we were able to see the aurora - a truly breathtaking experience.There's also a wonderfully isolated, fairly unknown hot spring close by. Just the right size for 2 people and actually hot, as opposed to warm. The cabin in itself is cosy - despite some very challenging weather at times, we never felt cold. It's also well planned for space and is very comfortable for 3 people. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom and all the information was provided promptly. This is our first visit to Iceland and having the cabin as our base after long days travelling was just what we needed. We only hope the other cabins we have booked across the country will be as comfortable :)
I've asked the family and we have no complaints.
