    Everything was perfect

    Well equipped, spacious and very cosy apartment with a beautiful Mountain View. The booking was very short termed and we arrived late but everything was well prepared nonetheless. Our hosts were very friendly, helpful and even surprised us with delicious homemade pancakes! The apartment is well located for exploring the golden circle area and we can definitely recommend it also for a longer stay. We had an awesome time even though the weather was very rainy. Thanks Svetlana for hosting us!

    Wonderful hosts, a beautiful location and had everything we needed plus more. Freshly made bread and home made banana pancakes were a surprise bonus and so yummy. The kids loved having a chance to meet the horses and feed them.

    It immediately felt at home, there was a pleasant atmosphere. Svetlana is a rare woman in her kindness, she took care of us as if we were her family, she immediately made us feel comfortable. Everything we wanted she immediately helped and was cordial and warm. Unequivocally we will return to stay there.

    The location was nice. The apartment is part of Svetlana’s family farm house and the surrounding is beautiful.

    the living environment is quite good and the homestay couple are extremely warmhearted and considerate. The house is quite clean and the kitchen is well-equipped. Its hard to part with them. We will miss them and the lovely dog~

    Good location to stop before/after Landmannalaugar. It felt just like home at this place. I don't know why, but it just felt so warm, so relaxing.. when my fiance entered the room, she instantly said she could live there forever... friendly owners and very cool and cute dog.

    We had a fantastic stay at this countryside house. The location is a peaceful quiet countryside, and it’s a great base for exploring attractions you want to drive to. The house (entire ground floor) was clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed and even more. Svetlana is friendly and helpful, providing clear instructions, local tips and fantastic breakfast pancakes! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet, comfortable place outside the city.

    It has the basic facilities and amenities we needed for the stay. They were very responsive to any queries and gave some tips to the places we were going to visit around Iceland. It has an amazing view and was very dark and quiet to view the Auroras at night.

    The entire place was superb. This is the ground floor of the cottage where travellers stay, while the owners stay right upstairs. Hence, we were the only tourists there. It was a huge place. Very well maintained, tastefully decorated place. It was really nice to chat Svetlana and her husband. We stayed at a lot of places and farm houses during our 13 day trip to iceland (4 people). I have to say, this was the best accommodation we stayed in, with all being on similar price points. Most places had a double bed and a sofa cum bed. Only here we could get two large double beds. Everyone in our group were ecstacic about it. We stayed here for two nights, and saw amazing aurora right outside the door. We had clear skies both the days. Also there was little light polution here.

    We liked everything . Nothing to dislike about this property.

    The location is on a farm very near to the ring road . The house is in a scenic location . The rooms are comfortable and you have all the facilities for a comfortable stay. we were just there for the night before we started to Vik . we all would have liked to have stayed longer. Will definitely book this property again the next time I am in Hella.

    The host was so awesome and had arranged everything for us in order to make our trip very memorable. We arrived late after a long journey overnight and a road trip to Golden circle, the host greeted us with warmth. She made sure rooms were all clean and setup appropriately. Kitchen was fully loaded and she made sure to bake bread pudding fresh for us. Such an experience on the first day of our visit to this heaven country with heavenly host. The host took my daughters to the greenhouse and showed them the vegetables they were growing and also hand picked the baby radish fresh from the garden to eat. Loved the location of the guesthouse. It was reasonable and did not pinch at all.

    No laundry, but that is to be expected in Iceland.

    The location was good, right off the golden circle loop. It was clean and warm :-) the space was clean, open and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc.

    The best apartment during our trip to Iceland. Thank you so much for being so welcoming and helpful. A shame we couldn´t see the Northern Lights (it was cloudy) but if you´re lucky you´ll be able to see them just outside the house :) The dog is so friendly! The house is beautiful too. Very quiet and peaceful area.
