It was perfect for one night before an early flight the next day. Check in was easy, the room was clean and spacious after spending 2 weeks in a tent. The kitchen facilities were excellent with hob, microwave, kettle, dishwasher and pots and pans etc. Everything you needed to cook a meal. There was lots of leftover food and gas canisters in the cupboards for you to use and food in the fridge. There was a ridiculous amount of jars of coffee that had been started but not used up! Great place to end your holiday (and if you started it here you would save a fortune on gas and food if you are planning to camp!)

The cleanness of the cabin and shared bathroom are far beyond my expectations. We had troubles on self check-in but got quick response via messages and the staff later stopped by.

Nice location near the airport. Would be nice if the room has a big bedside table, or an extra table/shelf to put stuff on.

Such a fun modern lace to stay. The shower was heavenly and the soaps smelled fantastic. The cabin was surrounded by lupine and it was just beautiful. I loved every bit of our short stay.

Fantastic first night in Iceland!

Our iStay cottage was clean and simple. A great first night in Iceland. The view out our windows of the lupine was beautiful. It looked a bit like Animal Crossing in the best way! What is not mentioned is the property has a fully stocked common room - kitchen and dining area. Designed for preparing meals, refrigerator and cabinet space.

Very nice little cottage in a great area. Updated on the inside and there’s even a common area that’s stocked with tea, coffee etc that provides a good area to sit and eat. We would definitely stay here again.

The hot tub was not working, there was no water and looked like it had not been used for quite some time, false advertisement. The shower didn’t really work, it was difficult getting in with few travel amenities

We stayed for 3 nights. Loved how the towels and bed sheets had a lovely clean scent. The location is very convenient to access the airport, but we didnt hear any planes. It was very quiet and seeing the horses through the window every morning was lovely. Definitely recommend this place, and hope we can stay here again next time we visit Iceland.

Amazing room and super clean. Smelled as fresh as could be upon entering. Comfortable beds and pillows. Just wish the hot tubs were up and running while we stayed there.
