We enjoyed our time in Selfoss, the destination of this place was secluded and the views were truly beautiful. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna time most - sunset as well.

That being said, when we arrived to the house our first impression was not good. We are a group of 6 that had been traveling for over 24+ hours at this point, when we walked in you could visibly tell the place looked clearly “lived in” to the point we thought we went to the wrong house maybe. After confirming we were in the right location, we were surprised that it was left like that but also that no one came to check this before next guests arrived. anyways we simply called the point of contact given and were told they would send cleaners over as soon as possible and sorry that it was an accident. They offered us to drive/go to another one of their locations for a picnic while they cleaned, at this point it was already 6pm we had just got back from grocery shopping to cook dinner so we declined and said we would just wait until they were done to cook as we really wanted to just settle and rest. When the cleaners came, one of them apologized again followed by “it happens you know!” and while we appreciated them coming right away to have her try to make light of the situation with 6 exhausted travelers was not appreciated. We were additionally asked to still leave for an hour so they could get it done then come back after which we did. 7pm at this point the place looked much better. We were able to enjoy a nice sunset, cook a meal together, use the sauna and hot tub which were all things we really wanted to do at this spot. We were surprised no one followed up to check in again or ask us the next day how it was going - we took pictures of what this place looked like when we arrived (will attach if possible) At the minimum, we expected to be reached out to/compensated in some way as we were not able to actually stay in our place until 3 hours after our supposed check in time. Overall, though the location was beautiful we would likely not stay here again based on how this situation was managed and handled afterwards.

The location is close to a lake/river not far from Selfoss. It’s about 500 meters from road 36. The cottage is complete, it had even a washing machine. the sauna and hottub are great. We arrived when a lot of roads were blocked due to the snow but the last local road was fine. You can easily make trips from here to see the West & South of Iceland. Our host Vala was very supportive and helpful. Great stay in very cozy furnished cottage.

It was very comfortable. It was right on a river and had a beautiful patio and hot tub overlooking the river. It also had a sauna. We saw Northern Lights 3 times. Home was just out of Selfoss, so there was no city light, ensuing magical Northern lights. The master bedroom was huge and luxurious. The pull down window covers on all rooms totally blocked outside light, which was great for sleeping. The beds were more comfortable than my bed at home! We stayed 8 days and drove to sightseeing events. This was much better than checking in to a new place each night. Wifi was great. We had 6 people staying there and each had several devices. WE had no connectivity problems. If I had to go back and do it again, I would definitely rent this home. I will always remember this luxurious place.

You have to call the gate from your phone to open it. A remote would have been better. I recommended to owner and they are going to look into it! There were no directions to sauna. But owners did respond when we emailed them. Master bedroom was huge and luxurious, but the other 3 bedrooms had limited floor space to leave suitcases open. If only one person is using room, there is plenty of space. It is just tight with two to a room in the smaller bedrooms. Nevertheless, I still recommend renting it.

the best place

beautiful home, exceptional setting

no shower toiletries or basket for shampoo and body wash

Everything just perfect! Amazing place to meet New Year!!!

So many great things to say about this property. The beautiful and modern home is spacious with a pristine river-side location. The home is equipped with very high quality furniture and appliances, including a hot tub, outdoor shower, and deck that overlooks the large river. Each bedroom has its own half-bath. Our family greatly enjoyed an Icelandic summer evening here.

Fantastic and well equipped house with lots of space and everything you might need for a stay out in the country. The outdoor area, jacuzzi and sauna was even better than expected.
