The apartments were ideally located near Geysir, Gulfoss and Pinvelir. The accomadation itself was beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable. Huge stitting room, fully equipped kitchen and dining area as well as hot tubs and barbeque outside-fantastic for a group of friends, family or even as in our case a romantic getaway. The owners were charming and incredibly helpful and knowledgeable when it came to us getting around. The food at the resturant which is located on the grounds of the apartments, served up sole and traditional Icelandic dishes- all of which were delicious. We thouroughly enjoyed our stay. I would recommend it to anyone.

The friendly and helpful owners, the great location and the fantastic buffet breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble. Great stay, would stay here again. Only thing I thought would be nice was maybe coffee/tea facilities on arrival in the apartment.

This is definatly the best place we have ever stayed and we travel alot. The decor is brand new and just so tasteful. The facilities are incredible the manager/owner went out of his way to accomodate us with getting is breakfast the night before we had to leave at 4:30am. Te water is beautiful straight out the geysir so untouched natural water to shower and bath in. The hot tub outside was such a real treat. This place is gorgeous and the perfect place to see the northern lights in the middle of no where just you and nature. The hotel offers meals and its not far from sightseeing like Gulfoss and the geysir. If you want to get away from it all and just relax in the middle of nature...then this is the place for you.....

Modern, well-equipped, spacious apartments in an area ideal for exploring the 'Goldern Circle' by car. We were very impressed with the quality of the apartments and furniture. Beds were very comfortable. The owners of the apartments warmly welcomed us and were exceedingly helpful in recommending places to visit and explore. Breakfast served in the main house was of a high standard. For Brits, there is a flat-screen TV with all the UK channels and a dvd player! Not really an issue, but the outside hot tub was not as private as we had hoped, but it was certainly a great experience to bathe under the stars, surrounded by snow in idyllic surroundings.

We stayed in an apartment that could have easily slept up to 6 people. It was absolutely beautiful. Mainly IKEA furnished and felt very modern and new and yet warm and cozy at the same time. Every apartment has it's own hot tub as well as wifi that worked very well. The restaurant is wonderful (had dinner there twice). Best lobster I've had in awhile. The owners are very nice and accommodating. It's kind of in the middle of no where, about an hour from the city, so if you're taking a lot of tours from Rejykavik, then the location might not be ideal for you but we drove quite a bit, so it was perfect for us. Plus, I liked feeling like we were in a less crowded countryside. Only other tiny downside.. water has a sulfer-y smell, but I think you get that a lot in Iceland.

Wonderful setting, friendly, welcoming, and competent hosts, and the luxury of private, modern homes/studios. The accomodations were very contemporary, comfortable, and tastefully furnished. Very, very quiet and definitely the best dining experience we had in Iceland -- dinner was by candlelight, with a good selection of wines (in Iceland!)_and the breakfast buffet, included with the room rate, was the nicest we encountered on our trip. There was a selection of fresh fruits, and the freshly baked pain au chocolats were simply divine. Though advertised, and for us a great attraction, none of the hot tubs/spas was operational. One, outside the dining room, was filled with water -- very cold water! The hot tubs located on the decks by the homes were not even filled with water. A disappointment, as there were no tubs in the accomodations, and we had really been looking forward to the hot tub!

These apartments are worth every penny! They are very comfortable, good beds, a very good restaurant. We have stayed in lots of hotels in Island but neither of them were as good as these! If you want to visit Geyser, Pingvellir, Reijkholt etc. this is the place to stay, Only 1 1/2 hours drive of Kevlavik airport. Not cheap, but very, very comfortable and spacious. Best accommodation of Iceland It's an apartment. They serve breakfast and a very good diner. Make sure to bring you're own drinks, food and things like shampoo! There are towels, dish washer detergent.

Grimsborger is a newly constructed and lovingly managed property located in the countryside outside Selfoss and off the Ring Road (Rt.1), but so close to so many other wonderful sights! Both days I stayed there I stayed gone from early morning until late at night seeing the sights without putting major mileage on the rental car! The owners are the consumate hosts, and the property is maintained to a very high standard. Let's just say when I walked in and saw the toilet paper roll folded like they do in 5 star hotels I knew I was going to be a fantastic stay! I was the only guest at my first breakfast, but despite that Katherine rolled out the whole spread for me, including freshly baked cinnamon rolls! The countryside views from all structures are what you'd expect from rural Iceland, gorgeous! The property was spotless, and the bed was heavenly. The price is very reasonable given the quality, service and location...treat yourself...you won't be disappointed! I only have one niggle, and I believe it doesn't have anything to do with the property owners, but whatever mapping mechanism that booking.com uses. Because this was a last minute booking for me, I used the directions on booking.com instead of the Grimsborgir website. DON'T! Take the time to go to the Grimsborgir site, or use your own mapping site The directions on booking.com do not use the common names for the street you need to take, and you will spend much more time looking for the property than you need to! Iceland is too beautiful to lose time trying to find the property. Grimsborgir is very simple to get to, just don't use the booking.com directions!

We really enjoyed our stay at Grimsborgir Apartments. We booked a 2 bedroom apartment but ended up with a fantastic 4 bedroom apartment. It's actually not an apartement, it's a very well decorated (lot of IKEA) villa with a full equiped kitchen, fire place, enormous bathroom, 4 large bedrooms, seperate toilet and a hottub outside. Breakfast, inlcuded in the rental, is delicious. The owner/manager does everthing to make you feel comfortable. We had a delicious dinner one night at the restaurant and were suprised not more guests come over for dinner.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay - I can't wait to go back with friends for a long weekend. The houses are decorated to a superb standard, everything is very comfortable and looks amazing. Having a personal hot tub on the deck overlooking the countryside is a pure luxury. The proprietors are very helpful and friendly. Cant recommend this enough

オーナー夫妻はとても温かい人柄で、いつもやさしい微笑みで迎えてくれました。部屋もとても居心地がよく、- アイスランドで暮しているような気分になれます。首都レイキャビークからは、約1時間ほど離れていますが、- ゆったりのんびりと休息できるので、もしアイスランド滞在で時間の余裕があるなら、ぜひ宿泊してほしいなと- 思います。朝食のシナモンロールはとてもおいしくておススメです。

Very nice appartment, very comfortable furnished. Perfect service. We will come again and recommend it to all travelers who travel to the south of Iceland. It is situated near the Golden Circlle. Sehr angenehm mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Viele Möbel sind von Ikea kombiniert mit Antiquitäten. Wir werden mit Sicherheit auch unseren nächsten Island-Urlaub dort verbringen. Absolut perfekt kurz vor dem Golden Circle gelegen. Light in the kitchen could be a bit brighter.

Ich würde die Apartments zu einem der schönsten Plätze der Welt einstufen. Es ist absolut genial Abends im Hot-Tub zu sitzen und am Himmel das grüne Polarlicht zu beobachten. Die beiden Besitzer sind überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit und das selbst das Essen ist ausgezeichnet. Wir sind schon in vielen Hotels gewesen, aber der Aufenthalt hier hat alles Bisherige übertroffen.

Die Appartments sind sehr geschmackvoll und hochwertig eingerichtet und gehen definitiv als luxuriös durch! Die Lage ist angenehm ruhig - in schöner Landschaft mit genügend Abstand der einzelnen Häuser - aber nahe an den Sehenswürdigkeiten Gullfoss, Geysir und Thingvellir. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und das Restaurant ist gut. Der Hot Tube liegt nur an den großen Appartments.
