The cleanness of the cabin and shared bathroom are far beyond my expectations. We had troubles on self check-in but got quick response via messages and the staff later stopped by.

Nice location near the airport. Would be nice if the room has a big bedside table, or an extra table/shelf to put stuff on.

Such a fun modern lace to stay. The shower was heavenly and the soaps smelled fantastic. The cabin was surrounded by lupine and it was just beautiful. I loved every bit of our short stay.

Fantastic first night in Iceland!

Our iStay cottage was clean and simple. A great first night in Iceland. The view out our windows of the lupine was beautiful. It looked a bit like Animal Crossing in the best way! What is not mentioned is the property has a fully stocked common room - kitchen and dining area. Designed for preparing meals, refrigerator and cabinet space.

The hot tub was not working, there was no water and looked like it had not been used for quite some time, false advertisement. The shower didn’t really work, it was difficult getting in with few travel amenities

We stayed for 3 nights. Loved how the towels and bed sheets had a lovely clean scent. The location is very convenient to access the airport, but we didnt hear any planes. It was very quiet and seeing the horses through the window every morning was lovely. Definitely recommend this place, and hope we can stay here again next time we visit Iceland.

Amazing room and super clean. Smelled as fresh as could be upon entering. Comfortable beds and pillows. Just wish the hot tubs were up and running while we stayed there.

Our stay here was an ideal way to end our trip to Iceland. It is located in a peaceful and quiet area, close to the airport and car rental locations, which made an early morning flight conveniently easier. The room was sparkling clean and spacious, and the amenities were perfect. The shower and heated towel rack were A+. We also loved that the TV had streaming services available that were already logged-in (with accounts for each cabin), meaning we didn’t have to use our personal accounts. The central kitchen area was great for breakfasts, and the parking and pathway system made rolling our luggage to and from the car easy. I would absolutely stay here again.
