This property is right on the river, very serene. Cabins are clean and comfortable and well equipped kitchens. Great for a night. We wish we had a few days to really appreciate the property and the area.

A unique cottage within a campground. Loved the personal hot tub in the back. We enjoyed exploring all of the nature trails on the river behind us. Didn't love the sulphur smell in the water in our cottage, but could be normal for this area.

Authentic cabins. Walking distance to a restaurant. Cabins are quiet. Warm. Decent value for money. The handler gave us an option to chose a larger cabin when we arrived.

6/10 Good

Just wanted to experience staying in a cottage in Iceland, so had no high expectations. Good location, good price, nice river views, decent size with two bedrooms, and reasonably clean. It’s an old-style cottage with a well-equipped kitchen. Free WiFi, a private bathroom, and a private hot tub were nice bonuses. Very peaceful and tranquil. The only downside was the check-in instructions. We had to call the host, an elderly man who looks like Santa Claus (so no complaints—he might not be very tech-savvy...). It’s better to head to the reception house and call the host directly to ask for the number of the hut that has been assigned. The “Santa Claus” host’s contact number is posted on the glass entrance door. He will tell you the hut number and arrange for someone to show you how to fill the hot tub with water. As for the WiFi, there’s a white router box on the windowsill. Just scan the QR code on the bottom, and you’ll be connected to the WiFi. No password is needed. All in all, a pleasant stay. The size of the accommodation and the location are fantastic.

2/10 Poor

Stay away from this place! We were totally scammed here. We booked a cottage with one bedroom, a separate sitting area, a patio and a private hot tub. But we were given a very basic room in a large half-finished building. When we tried to complain, the office had closed and there was nobody there. So far, there has been no answer from the property and we are still waiting…

Beautifully situated on a bluff overlooking the Blanda River. Could see and hear it from our # 25 cottage. Large windows bringing the sunshine in. Close to everything in town such as grocery store etc.

It's near a river and cottages are nice but we ran in to some challenges with check in where our cottage was taken by some other guests so we had to sleep in the main lodge in a room not equipped for party of 5

We were stuck due to a blizzard and terrible/closed roads, and the cottage was perfect! We were even upgraded for free because a larger cabin was available.

The hot tub I paid for was “unavailable “ and the cottage was old and not as pictured in the ad The town itself has little to offer, no breakfast and poor restaurants Wished we just carried on to Akuyere Don’t bother with this place

Inaccurate description on hotels.com

The description on hotels.com indicated a private bathroom. I’d assume this would mean it has a shower! No indication there was no shower. Otherwise cabin was nice, brand new. Property littered with construction materials.

The cottage was cute with a workable kitchen. The bathroom/shower was very small. We did not use the hot tub as we arrived late. There is a phone number posted on the main building door to call when you arrive. We had an Esim with data only so could not call the number. There was not a WhatsApp number. We were lucky that another person was checking in and had contacted the manager. Staff were pleasant.

Did not meet expectation at all. Very, very disappointing. Just don’t if you have any other choice. We loved every accommodation around the Ring Road except this one. Broken windows and blinds, stinky water, poor communication and not at all as described.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

This was the most spacious place we stayed out for our entire trip to Iceland, which was a welcome change of pace. The cottage itself was wonderful. We paid extra for a cottage with a hot tub, but the hot tub experience was not what we had expected. We had to fill it, which required an employee to do this for us as we could not figure out the written instructions (and that is on us and is not their fault) ... but when we went out to the hot tub after it was filling up, it had lots of hair, dirt, and dead bugs floating in the water. We felt like if we were paying extra for the hot tub, that is should be clean and ready for us to use. Otherwise, there were no complaints at all.

we stayed in Cottage number 4 which had a bedbug infestation. We have been bitten so badly that we have had to receive medication. I have written a report about this last week which you did not publish. The communication is terrible with the host, there was about a metre of snow against the front door. We had no option but to dig it away with our bare hands which took around 10 mins, not even a shovel was provided. I am asking Expedia to request a refund on my behalf or i will publish photos on every site that this disgusting property advertises on.
