"Beautiful hotel, location, and room! Northern lights seen during my stay, even with the high wind warnings! Restaurants close by (although there is dining on site). Would certainly stay here again!"

"Amazing cabin, was able to see the northern lights and an artic fox. Would stay again"

"House was clean and very spacious. Plenty of heat and hot water. Being right on the water was wonderful. We used the hot tub almost every night. Our first night there, a pod of whales swam by while we were in the hot tub. Grenivik is a lovely location, a quiet town about half an hour from the city and all its amenities. It was a great launching point for all the local attractions. The hosts were super helpful. We left an important bag behind with laptop, passports, medication, etc. and they mailed it back to the States for us. "

"Loved this hotel. Great staff, spacious room and nice amenities"

"Nice a comfortable residence."

"This home (Kaldbakur) and its location are remarkable. First, the setting: It’s on the Eyjafjörður Fjord and is very near the water with no structures in between. We had snow just before we arrived and the view was incredibly beautiful. The aurora arrived that first night (KP Index of 5) and it was amazing. This location is suitably dark (and beautiful) for aurora photography. So, if you don’t feel like trekking out into the darkness, you can a get nice aurora photos from your house (assuming the right camera and lens). Every morning, a herd of sleep walks between the home and the water to graze (usually away from the house). In the evening, they head back to wherever they spend the night. It’s quite fun to watch. Regarding how the hot pot (hot tub) works, it takes roughly two hours to fill. You fill it by turning a key in the kitchen pantry. It is large and deep so you do not need to wait for it to become completely full to get in (saves a little water, too). I’d guess the temperature is around 102-103 F. In other words, perfect for a soak. New hot water continues to feed into the hot pot, maintaining the temperature. It is surrounded by the house on three sides and is therefore protected from wind. After you get out, turn the key in the pantry and the hot pot drains. The house is nicely decorated in a modern style. Large windows bring the view into every room. It is a lovely place to spend time in. Would I recommend this rental? Absolutely!"

"This place is terrific - comfortable, clean, convenient. Cannot say enough about our host, Freyja, - friendly, responsive almost immediately, knowledgeable - and a great cook! Thanks for everything!"

"The property was so amazing. The views and surroundings were way above what we expected. The apt was insanely clean and well maintained. We felt at home here and didn't want to leave. "

"Great place to stay. Just know if you go in October the museum and some of the restaurants are closed"
