Fijn huisje met veel privacy
Pros:

We verbleven in de cottage. Veel privacy, een groot terras rondom en een prachtig uitzicht. Plek voor de auto voor het huisje. Een oven in het keukenblok waar we veel gebruik van hebben gemaakt en er kon gebruik gemaakt worden van een wasmachine. Omdat dit ons laatste verblijf was in IJsland was dit heel fijn. Ook van de jacuzzi en de sauna hebben we genoten.
Ruime hoeveelheid handdoeken.

buona tappa verso la capitale
Pros:

posizione comoda
lo consiglio come tappa di avvicinamento verso la capitale in un viaggio on the road

Cons:

l'acqua deve essere fatta scorrere a lungo per renderla palatabile (sapore inizialmente non invitante)

Ubicación al lado de la carretera pero entorno muy bonito, habitación muy cómoda con cocina y terraza.

La mampara se salía y se mojaba todo el baño, pero se secaba fácil. De resto todo ok.

Pros:

The location of the apartment is really nice, near a river, with really nice views. The staff were very helpful, giving us instructions on self check in since we arrived after the reception was closed.
The room is quite spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped. Everything was very clean and comfortable.

Fomos brindados por uma bela aurora boreal!!!
Pros:

As vistas, a existência de cozinha e máquina de lavar a roupa

Cons:

Permanecemos por duas noites e o foi não foi despejado. Tendo em conta que o quarto e a cozinha ocupam um mesmo espaço, teriam de ter esse cuidado

Pros:

Nice room with comfy beds. Great picnic bench outside for breakfast with a view. Cooking facilities all good with 4 ring hob, oven, microwave, coffee maker etc. Our room even had its own washer/drier which was a great addition. Great location just of ring road with amazing mountain backdrop.

Cons:

Sofa bed was a bit uncomfortable and one sink had a dysfunctional plug. But these didnt impact our stay. Otherwise all good.
