The landlady or other manager did NOT appreciate me calling for check in instructions as per their first email. They eventually do email you a cottage and a door code. The cottage I had (#105) does have a hot plate, toaster, plates, cups -- but the outlets are all on the floor. The shower is very hit and miss - pulses cold, then warm. It is easy to accidentally scald yourself. Oh, we also ran out of toilet paper as well. You do overlook a pretty hillside, though.

The views around the property were grand. It is an amazing property nestled at the base of some mountains. The best thing is the view of the mountain in the morning. Only two concerns; we came very late after hours and it was hard to get the access code by messaging and calling; and there was a used makeup sponge left in the bathroom.

We loved our stay. The cabin had a kitchenette with hot plate, toaster, microwave, plates, cups, utinsels for 4, it was perfect for us. Hot water in the shower comes and goes but part of the experience I guess. We hiked up the mountainside right behind our cabin and enjoyed an amazing view. We hiked up to the very close Seljavallalaug swimming pool which was also cool. Loved our stay. I don't see why they won't allow check-in times later than 9pm. We were aware of that deadline and arrived at 8:30pm so it was fine, but it's just a normal key in a lockbox by the door, which means someone is removing that key manually at 9pm if you haven't checked in... just be aware of that.

Cabin was relatively newly built - very basic but practical. Servicable kitchen, beds were comfortable, heat worked,etc. Only complaint was the shower - it would run fine (bordering on scalding) for a while, then the hot water would abruptly cut out. Happened once every 1-2 minutes. There was no answer on the phone line we received from Expedia.

Clean and in an amazing position, but that's where thd positives end. When you pay a high price for something you expect quality in return. I could overlook the issues at half the price charged, but..... Faulty (and dangerously unpredictable) shower, bathroom door that doesn’t shut, no accessible sockets to plug the kitchen electricals into - there's more, but you get the picture. No obvious way to communicate with anyone to fix the problems either. Disappointing and not to be recommended.

The cottage is located in a very quiet and peaceful area among other cottages, which we appreciated. Check-in was generally easy, and the instructions with the entry code were sent in advance. However, there was some miscommunication during arrival. I arrived around 3:30 PM (check-in was at 4:00 PM) and spoke with someone at the main house, which seems to function like a reception. (Or at least I thought bc it had signs and said ‘Reception’. I asked if I could check in early or drop off my bags and he said if I had the email with the code, then I could. Perhaps this was the miscommunication and he may have thought I was asking how to get in? Moments later, a teenager from another house on the property came out and rather aggressively told us that the cottage wasn’t ready and we couldn’t enter, so we left immediately and returned later that evening after dinner. That night, we encountered an issue with the shower: the water temperature fluctuated dramatically from scalding hot to cold within seconds. My husband was even burned on the shoulder by the hot water. I contacted the host right away, but unfortunately, I never received a response — even a week later. I even sent a message to advise that the bathroom hand soap bottle was empty and no response either. There were also multiple flies trapped inside the cottage when we arrived too. Overall, the location is quiet and has potential, but the communication, cleanliness, and maintenance left a lot to be desired.

This place was much, much better than people rate it. It’s a cute little cabin -- clean and cozy. Parking was easy, and the surrounding area is beautiful. My only complaint was that the shower water temperature was hard to get just right. Otherwise, it was perfect

I understand its a cabin but there were no toiletries, there wasn’t even a lock on the bathroom door. The location is nice.. view of the mountain was awesome. We enjoyed sitting outside till late night. However, giving 4 star just because of the bathroom.

Avoid this place

We did not receive an email with check inn details. Staf could not be reached, not by phone and no answer on email. The cottage is outdated and too cold inside. You can feel the wind inside! Good location but ridiculously overpriced and non-exisiting communication. No wifi available. Avoid this place!

Wonderfully serene. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Parking was right next to the cottage. It's not far to the next town, so shopping isn't hard either. The valley behind the cottages goes right up to the glacier.
