Central Cottages
I really liked this check-in option! A lovely house, incredible views, a beach with black sand nearby. The house had absolutely everything you needed, we were able to cook dinner in the evening, and make hot sandwiches in the morning. There are charming, very smart dogs on the property that will be incredibly happy if you play with them (you will throw them balls that they will bring you). Dogs will also accompany you to the beach. Recommended!!!

Glacial Glass Cabin
I cannot say enough about how incredible our stay was here, and how above and beyond the hosts went. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a beautiful, private getaway. Seeing how pretty the place looked in the pictures, I booked this spot to bring my fiancé to after proposing to her on the south coast. The hosts were kind enough to pick up decorations that I ordered from a nearby post office, and decorate the place beautifully well in time before I brought her there. They were extremely communicative in the weeks leading up to my stay, and put so much time, care, and attention to detail into the decorations while asking for nothing in return. In addition, the place was absolutely spotless and clean throughout. If you're looking for a serene stay with stunning views, cleaned to the highest standard, with extremely friendly and responsive hosts, this is your place.

Heathland Lodge - 7
Our stay at this Heathland Lodge was, without a shadow of a doubt, an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a sense of privacy and serenity that is truly rare. The lodge itself is a masterpiece of wonderful Scandinavian minimalist design, where every detail, every texture, and every carefully chosen furnishing whispers (no, screams!) understated luxury. It's clear that immense thought and care have gone into creating a space that is not just beautiful to behold, but incredibly comfortable and restorative to inhabit. The location is simply breathtaking, offering amazing and uninterrupted views of the surrounding lava field. Waking up to such a unique and dramatic landscape was a daily highlight, a constant reminder of Iceland's raw, natural beauty. It felt like our own private sanctuary, a small slice of luxury carved into the wild. For us, as avi

Ari’s place house 1
Such a wonderful place, so cozy and comfortable. Would stay here again 100% and recommend to couples traveling in the area. Ari was very intentional with the design and amenities and it was everything we hoped it would be.

Mosi Hut
We had a fantastic stay at the Mosi Hut! Audur was super helpful in suggesting hikes and things to do in the area. She was incredibly welcoming and warm, making our stay so special! We would come back (Northern Lights trip?) and would definitely recommend Mosi Hut to our friends who are planning to visit Iceland! Thank you Audur, for making our trip so memorable.

Private room (A) at Geysir Hestar guesthouse
This was incredibly convenient for its location on the golden circle, close to both Geysir and Gulfoss. We only stayed for a quick overnight, and the space served the three of us well. We never had a problem with access to the bathrooms, though perhaps they weren’t fully booked that night either.

Little Reels
Beautiful accommodations and beautifully decorated. A delicious cake was waiting for us. Thank you for the use of body wash/shampoo and conditioner. Thank you for a nice quantity of towels and washcloths. The beds and linens were comfortable. Just the double bed was a little hard for 2 adults to sleep together. Highly recommend this place.

Stargazing Igloo by Eyja Mork w/HotT
