Great location - less than 15 minutes from Jokulsarlon / Glacier Lagoon. Cozy cabin with beds for 6, great view of the waterfall, and 2 close restaurants. Perfect for families or big groups.

There was a long line at check-in so we had to wait about 10 minutes and then drive to our room which was only a few minutes away. The Wi-Fi wasn’t working when we first got there, but they sent someone over to check it out and the problem was fixed within the hour. We were able to see the northern lights from the front yard and we really enjoyed the big front porch. There were also waterfalls right in our backyard.

We had a great experience staying at the Old Cottages. The location is absolutely amazing, with a beautiful waterfall right out back that made the setting feel peaceful and unique. The layout of the cottage was well thought out and comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time there. Everything we needed was provided, and the surroundings were perfect for unwinding. We truly enjoyed our stay and only wish we had more time to spend there. We would definitely love to come back in the future.

We loved our stay in the luxury cottage. It was bright and clean and perfect for our family of 3. The location is great for doing things in the south such as Diamond Beach/Jökulsárlón Lagoon, Múlagljúfur Canyon, and Svartifoss. We would recommend the luxury cottage.

Lovely location (10 mins to Diamond beach / Glacier Lagoon) with a beautiful mountain view. However, external modern images don’t match the dated interior. It needs a refresh. Kitchen is old and has the bare minimum of items ( 2 bowls). Washing liquid was watered down. It just felt as if you were getting the bare minimum which is disappointing for the price. Check in process isn’t that clear (read the notes as check in is at another property). Wasn’t a massive issue but there was a lack of response to communication when this question was asked. Loft bedroom doesn’t have a curtain.

The cottage was clean, nicely updated, and very comfortable. The staff at the location of check in were not friendly; and even though they touted laundry as an available amenity, it was clear they disnt want to honornthat. We ended up washing clothes in the sinks at the cottage.

Pleasant stay in Cottages

We overnighted in the old cottages and was very comfortable and nice. The cottage was spacious yet cozy. Very clean, nicely furnished, and had 2 bathrooms! The only suggestion would be to add a curtain to the bathroom windows for privacy. Wonderful waterfalls in the back.

Beautiful cottage. We loved the waterfall view and comfortable beds. We waited for the host at the registration property at least twenty minutes after the 4pm check in time and nearly missed our glacier lagoon tour. I recommend they move to a contactless check in since the only thing they do is give you the key box code.

Patio door had no lock on it. We rigged up an “alarm” on it while we slept. Check-in was laughable. See photo. A lady who was very impatient gave me directions to a place over a mile away. She pulled out the paper in the photo and told me to take a picture. Finding the registration building was also difficult. No markings and the coordinates the gave me took me to a cabin. Do not stay, the pictures make it look nicer. The scenery around it is outstanding.

Clean cabin in a gorgeous location. We enjoyed the waterfall view in the back. Kitchen was equipped and having two bathrooms was convenient. Location came with trade offs as it was close to the ice lagoon but far from amenities without driving.

We are family of 4, and wanted to stay near Diamond beach and the glacial lagoon. This property is 10 min drive away. Spacious functional stand-alone house with separate bedroom, living room and kitchen. Cute and unique. Quiet and nice surrounding with waterfall walking distance. Received two instructions to checked-in, one to drive 3km away to get code, and another to checked in directly using given code. Wanted to make sure, hence drove the distance to get the code, turned out the same. Some heating radiators, as well as hair dryer not working well. No extra rubbish disposal bag. No washing machine nor dish washer. No slippers. No shampoo nor conditioners. Small and cold toilet and shower area. Not cheap either. Use this as place to stay the night, if necessary.

Such a great space!! The sleeping loft could have used a curtain to help block out the sunlight but other than that it was a great space! Loved the waterfall behind the house and easy drive to the glacier lagoon.

The room unfortunately had bed bugs. It was our first night in Iceland and thankfully we were only 1 night at the property. In addition 1 of 2 heaters in the living room was not working and so it was colder than it needed to be. Communication with the host was poor - we reached out a number of times on the bed bug issue but got no response. Am just glad that the stay was only one night and didn’t ruin the rest of our vacation

This cottage was amazing! Cute, clean, comfortable, quiet. It was everything we could have wanted and all that we needed for a family of 4 (two teens). It was no problem to check-in at Gerdi's nearby. It is a little hard to find, so you may either need some patience in the dark or want to arrive while it's light. It's worth it though! Bonus: the waterfall is lit up at night, so during the short days of winter, it can be enjoyed. You can hear and see the waterfall when outside but not inside, so it does not disturb sleep. Highly recommend this place!
