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

Great little place as a stop off either on the way to or from the airport - really good, comfortable base. Great parking, fantastic and well stocked community kitchen. The shared bathrooms were exceptional. Really warm and comfortable - very cosy, and such an easy check in and check out process. Fuss free! Thank you!

Quiet location 10 minutes from airport. We arrived after midnight as our plane was in late, but not an issue as there is a lock box for the keys. Be aware there are no shops nearby or breakfast options - bring something or drive back to the Keflavik bakery for breakfast.

Very clean place that's convenient for an early morning flight out of the Keflavik Airport (though driving distance). All necessary amenities provided. Shared bathroom is in a different cottage. A little chilly to get from our cottage to the restroom but takes 30 seconds so not too bad. All facilities, including restroom and kitchen, are very clean and well-stocked as well. Easy to find even in the night, and ample parking.
