Excellent9.8Based on 29 reviewsElizabeth4. October, 202310VerifiedFantastic location for visiting sites on the Golden Circle and the SW to Vik. ☺ Everything about the house and whole booking process was fantastic. Don't hesitate to book this place! The house was spacious, impressively well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms large and well appointed. The location and view were wonderful. We had amazing views of the stars at night, and saw the northern lights 4 nights in a row by simply stepping out onto the back deck! (there is a lot of glow from the lights from the greenhouses in the surrounding area, but that's only a problem when there are clouds to reflect it!). A beautiful house that added to to our amazing Icelandic experience.Tapri2. September, 202310VerifiedFrábært Sumarhús / Phantastisches Ferienhaus ☺Phantastisches Haus. Tolle Lage. Super ausgestattet. Im Bad standen sogar Shampoo, Conditioner, Duschgel, Handseife zur Verfügung. Die Küche lässt auch keine Wünsche übrig. Kaffeebohnen, Kaffepulver, div. Gewürze, Salz, Pfeffer, Zucker, Öl, Spülmittel, Waschmaschinentabs. Der Gasgrill ist mit ausreichend Gas ausgestattet. Also alles was das Herz begehrt, wenn man ein Ferienhaus mietet! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. þakka þér fyrir gestrisni þína!Gema16. August, 202310VerifiedEspectacular, si vuelvo repito ☺Es una casa situada encima de una laguna preciosa con unas vistas espectaculares para diez personas. Cocina y salón juntos muy bonitos y muy minimalistas con una cocina perfectamente equipada con una nevera y un congelador doble , una terraza exterior muy grande con un jacuzzi preparado . Tiene cuatro habitaciones, una muy grande de matrimonio con baño y las otras no muy grandes. Dos tienen tres camas pero una de ellas no tiene ningún armario es la pega que le pongo Al entrar al salón es decir: ohhhhhh, que bonito ☹Una de las habitaciones triples no tiene ningún armario. El problema son los baños, hay dos baños pero uno está dentro de una habitación con lo cual como fuimos diez pues teníamos que entrar en la habitación para luego entrar en el baño y eso pues es una pega. Debería estar fuera. Pero bueno , lo bonita que era la casa lo compensa.Eric26. May, 202310VerifiedFabulous! ☺ This very spacious villa meets all the requirements of modern comfort and the beautiful location on the river is the icing on the cake. Spacious sitting area, spacious dining room, sufficiently spacious rooms, modern and hygienic bathrooms. The kitchen is equipped with all modern and well-functioning appliances. You can't imagine it or it's there! We could also enjoy the hot tub, which should have a new lid ... The location in Laugaras is excellent for visiting The Golden Circle. We could only dream of such a stay and that dream has become reality! ☹ Maybe do a check of all windows because some won't open!Oleg15. May, 202310VerifiedBest place to stay ☺ Modern and beautiful villa with everything you need. Great kitchen with a lot of cooking tools, 3 coffee machines, oven, microwave and all other thing you need. Big and comfortable beds, warm hot tube that fix up to 8 people and has a great view on river. Big backyard, new BBQ facility, great location and very friendly staff. ☹ It was a little bit warm inside the house in the beginning, but staff explained us how to lower the temperature. Also the temperature of water in hot tube was to low in the first evening, but this also was fixed by the staff next day. So thanks a lot, we had a great time.Karen13. April, 202310VerifiedExceptionalIvan8. April, 202310VerifiedExceptional ☺ Perfect location if you prefer having a quiet and undisturbed stay, you love being surrounded by beautiful nature, and you want to visit all the best places near the Golden Circle without rushing through them!Sara22. February, 20239.0Verified☺Die Ausstattung ist Hochwertig. Es gibt zwar kein Kinderbett aber die Betten lassen sich zu einem Familienbett zusammen stellen. Hochstuhl ist vorhanden. Seife, Duschbad, Kaffee und vieles mehr ist da. ☹Das fehlende Kinderbett. Einige Ecken müssten renoviert werden und wenn man eine Unterkunft auf Luxus Niveau anbietet muss auch auf die Details geachtet werden.Danilo14. February, 202310VerifiedExceptionalAmy31. October, 202210VerifiedAmazing cabin, in a beautiful setting, with a hot tub - perfect for the northern lights! ☺ We loved staying in this cabin and it was perfect for our two young families. The river view was stunning and it was lovely hearing the geese come and go during the day. The hot tub was a wonderful place to enjoy the view and also to see the northern lights from, also made more enjoyable that it is ready to use at all times. Out & About: Perfect base, near to the golden circle, kerid crater, the secret lagoon, and great for going further east to the waterfalls (Skogafoss & Seljalandsfoss - latter is lit up at night too), plane wreck and Vik. We even ventured as far as Jokulsarlon ice lagoon and the diamond beach (four hours drive) which was incredible to see. We were recommended the local pool in Selfoss and it was a great place for children and adults alike - the kids loved the outdoor slides (even though it was chilly!), the diving boards and the kids pools and floats. There is also a play park in Laugaras with a zip wire where the children enjoyed playing, only a five minute walk from the cabin. Practicalities: Two shower rooms (one en-suite) and four bedrooms (with super comfy beds) worked perfectly for the nine of us. Plenty of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet roll, kitchen roll and cleaning products available in the property. Tonnes of ground coffee available and a really good coffee machine. High chair and travel cot with comfy mattress, duvet, pillow and linen available on request. Washing machine available to use if you bring your own washing liquid / tabs, and tumble dryer too. Hosts: Elín & Börkur were easy to contact and responded quickly to any queries and were on hand to help during our stay but we were otherwise left to our own devices after they had provided some really useful pre-arrival information. We will definitely be back to stay there again, thank you!

The view over the river lowlands was amazing.Thank you for sharing your lovely place!VerifiedRichard22. July, 2023Beatifull location and view. very quiet. Great property. Some difficulty to get the inside temperature down without opening all the windows and facing the few , but very nasty, flies. Perfectly located for golden circle tripsVerifiedNyame12. July, 2023This incredible property makes a truly luxurious base to explore the Golden Circle. Panoramic views can be enjoyed from nearly every room, the kitchen is well appointed, the hot tub, hot, and the black out curtains effective...you can't ask for more from a luxury rental in Iceland.VerifiedLisa10. July, 2023This was a great place for our group of 9 people. Conveniently located in the Golden Circle. The house itself is huge, modern, and spotless. Fully equipped kitchen and plenty of extra linens and supplies. The view from the deck is fantastic! The kids also liked watching the horses at the farm across the street. Great stay.VerifiedNicole28. June, 2023We had a fantastic stay! The house was lovely with incredible views. Spotless and stocked with tons of extra supplies. They even left a tub of hot chocolate that our kids loved, as well as a telescope they enjoyed. The hot tub was amazing for evening relaxation. Beds were comfy. Blackout shades didn’t extend fully to the edges so sun was there bright and early in the morning (didn’t bother us, but others may want to bring a sleep mask if you’re sensitive to that.) Owners were incredibly responsive and had a very helpful list of restaurants, stores, attractions etc that they sent us a few days before arrival.VerifiedJoshua21. June, 2023Elin and Borkur are fantastic hosts! They were very responsive and provided the right amount of communication. The instructions were clear and helpful especially for restaurants, grocery stores and attractions in the area. When we needed more towels for the amazing hot tub, they quickly responded and had towels for us. The home itself is wonderful. The view in back is awesome, just like most of Iceland. The house worked well for our two families of four (both with teens) and the kitchen was well stocked. I highly recommend staying here!VerifiedAmy15. June, 2023This was one of the best airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at! It was clean, spacious and perfect for our family! We hope to come back someday soon!VerifiedMissy23. May, 2023Great place to stay. Our family of nine had plenty of room. The host responds quickly to any questions and provided everything for a wonderful stay. Thank you so muchVerifiedJulien22. April, 2023An amazing place :-)
