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.

Fire and ice cabin
When we got there the cabin was excessively hot to the point we had to open every door and window in the middle of a rainstorm. We discovered we had no knob on the heat to adjust it and it was unbearably hot. After multiple frustrating conversations with “maintenance” we convinced them to turn off the heat completely at which point it became bearable. The next morning the shower was either ice cold or hot as lava. No in between. The location was great. If the heat and water had any in between it would have been a great cabin. Overall pretty frustrating and not worth the cost.

We had to wait for almost one hour to get the code. Please make sure you get the code to open the main door. Main room heater was not working. But manager came and gave us a small heater for the night.

I do not recommend it, very bad communication, I informed them in time that I could not arrive before 9:00 p.m. to check in because it was far away, they sent an email saying that it could not be done later, I asked for their support and they sent a code, I asked them to explain to me How to access and the location because the app did not open in Google Maps, I sent 5 messages and they never responded again, they were supposed to be there until 9:00 p.m. I arrived as quickly as I could without having dinner and they couldn't get there on time at 8:40 p.m. THERE WAS NO ONE and they never responded to my messages, bad place, bad communication, bad service

Basic accommodation nearby many great sites. A tight fit for 4 people, but got a good nights rest. Cons: Most windows don't open, very few hooks, view from front porch is of a large number of new small huts.

Reception very lacking. Had to call a number but no answer using free phone on site. Once connected using international calling, communication was drowned out by children screaming in background. Cute cottage but reception ruined it...

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.

It's a cute little cabin. It surprised me how good it was. The construction seems new. It has 3 beds with comfortable clean blankets. The only suggestion is : the water is beige and has a bad smell.

The property was clean, quiet and the area was picturesque. However, even though the property was just off a major roadway, we had some difficulty in locating it. What little signage existed was small and hard to read, especially for those of us who were first time visitors to Iceland.
