Byggdavegur, 245 Sandgerði, Iceland –

Close to the airport Common kitchen and living room Big tv

Yann, France

Great commons area with free coffee and tea. Comfortable huts.

Claus, United States of America

It was really nice. We got what we expected and even more. For eg. we really liked the idea that the kitchen had two fridges. One with boxes for each cottages and the other one for leftovers that were free to eat. And we did't have to throw out any of our food that we didn't want to take home either. Every guests cleaned up after themselves and really cared about the common kitchen and the bathrooms as well. Quiet location (when there's no windstorm). The room smelled nice too.

Béla, Hungary

The facilities as well as the cottages where very new, clean and very well conditions. Very cozy stay. The toilets where excellent, clean and fully renovated.

Diana, Germany

Love this place, it's my second trip here. I like the feel of the property (campground with camping cabins). Gives the feel of camping with the comfort of a bed. I also like the group kitchen and highly recommend stopping by to chat with fellow travelers.

Ryan, United States of America

I enjoyed interacting with others staying at the property in the common house. We had wonderful conversations and went out to observe the northern lights together.

Julie, United States of America

I really like the cabin, something different to experience. The location was perfect for staying there for 2 nights. Looking forward-to visit again!

Barbara, United States of America

The cottage was fabulous! Great bathroom and shower. Very clean!

Allison, United States of America

Close to the airport. Well equipped kitchen. Ideal cleanliness.

Advantis, Ukraine

Great little cottages with a community kitchen close to the airport. Location was quiet and a great little seafood restaurant was just a 3 minute drive away. Check in was easy as long as you have cell service. We really enjoyed our quick stay.

I sent several e-mails beforehand kindly asking to provide instructions for self check-in. E-mails and sms'es were ignored. After calling the host, I got reply that instructions will be provided on check-in day. So you have to call the host upon arrival. This information could be sent beforehand, because I had a feeling that host simply disappeared. There wasn't possibility to cook - which was disappointing, only microwave.
New bungalow. kids playground nearby.

Maybe a hot plate in the kitchen would help a bit. And a blind for the door as it was really light in the room and the kids had a hard time falling asleep.
It was really clean and in a great area close to the airport. Perfect for those with an early flight the next day. Also check in and check out were super easy and uncomplicated.

The shared bathroom was not in the same building as the cottage so to go to toilet you need to go out, maybe in summer it's not a problem but when it's windy and snowy is not very comfortable. Same thing for the kitchen area. The cottage was also a bit cold and the price too high for the service offered.
Good location if you need to be close to the airport.

Would have liked a regular cooker / stove. Self catering, so only having a George Foreman grill made cooking eggs a bit tricky... Some free / ready to eat items like bread or pastries each day would have been nice.
Nice to have the fridge and clean, bright shared dining space.

I could not reach the property because there were no easy access by buses at late night to go there at late night. So people who do not have a car, can only go by taxi, which is very expensive.
not applicable, as we could not even reach there.
