Clean, bright room with spacious bathroom, close to the airport (few km).

Pete Belgium

I booked this room last minute and had no issues getting in and out of the space. All the amenities were clearly marked. The spaces were was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. The guesthouse was in a great location; right next to the airport and blue lagoon. The last night I was in Iceland, I stayed at this place.

Ms United States of America

The communal kitchen is well appointed. Cottage is clean and modern. Location is fantastic. Good way to begin or end an Icelandic vacation.

Randy United States of America

Cozy and very clean. The owner responded quickly to my emails.

Suzanne United States of America

I loved the boardwalk and vegetation around the property. It was a quiet place. Glad it had wifi.

Marjorie United States of America

Fantastic location. So close to the airport yet still out in nature. Perfect location to start or end an Iceland vacation.

Joanna United States of America

Communal kitchen was well-equipped and we were able to grocery shop locally and prepare breakfast and dinner on the property. Cottage was clean and comfortable. Shower was great. Property is beautiful. Second time we've stayed here and it exceeded our expectations and was as nice as we remembered. We plan to stay here again, discovering more of the Reykjanes Peninsula each time we either arrive or leave Iceland.

Randy United States of America

Everything was amazing. The owners were super friendly and gave us all that we needed. We had an amazing time and we would HIGHLY recommend it.

Ruslan United States of America

Perfect for our quick stay. Very clean and comfortable. We’d definitely book this property again.

Jim United States of America

perfect location for next day departure. Quiet and away from city. Nice view.

J United States of America
