Kristin’s place was incredible and she is so friendly. I highly recommend this Airbnb as the experience was amazing and I would only stay here when I return back to Iceland.

Gigja was extremely welcoming and helpful in showing us around the house and giving us local recommendations. Her house is an amazing place for kids! We had 3 kids under 5 who loved the trampoline, the 2 enclosed outdoor spaces and playhouse, and the toys and spacious interior. The place is immaculately clean and full of beautiful plants! There is a walking path that goes right by the house and runs along a stream and goes to 2 parks that we frequented. All things in Reykjavik were under 10 minutes by car. We highly recommend this house and the hosts.

We had such a wonderful stay at this property. The host was super responsive and allowed us an early check in. The house itself is spacious, with super comfortable beds and it is gorgeous. The house fit 15 of us comfortably. The hot tub was so lovely and warm! It was only a short 15 minute drive to the centre with lots of bars and restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here!

Amazing place and host! Great location close to downtown and easy access to hiking and golden circle! Would go back!!

The stay was nice and clean.

The house is beautiful and the location is amazing. Hal was very helpful and my family felt really at home 😊

Such a wonderful stay! The view from the home is beautiful over the bay. Kitchen well stocked with coffee maker, microwave, stove, dish washer. Beds were very, very comfortable and plenty of towels present. Washer/dryer on premise but we did not use. Gudrun was quick to respond to any questions. Would absolutely recommend!

What a wonderful place and in the perfect location for exploring the Golden Circle. The house was plenty big for the eight adults in our group, and we were all able to spread out, but also come together for meals and games. Although we didn’t use it, the hot tub was a great amenity. Our host was wonderful and very responsive when I contacted her with a question before booking and also when I needed to turn off the security system. We would highly recommend staying here.

Hrafn's home was a great place to stay for our first visit to Iceland. Centrally located in Reykjavik, just minutes from the downtown area.

We absolutely LOVED the Villa. It was immaculate, modern and so well stocked. Hosts were ideal and it was one of my favorite venues ever. So many comfortable beds and the ideal spot to achieve our bucket list objective of seeing the Northern Lights. We’ll never forget this stay. Thank you!

We had an excellent stay at The Mountain Villa in early February. Hafþór and Björn were gracious hosts, responding to queries quickly and providing clear instructions to find and access the place. The villa itself was as charming and idillic as we had expected, everything was perfectly clean and tidy on arrival and the facilities were fantastic; we particularly enjoyed the sauna and cold plunge after long days exploring. Flúðir was a quiet little village but perfect for what we wanted, with enough options to eat and drink for the short time we were there, and easily walkable from the villa. The hospitality at Restaurant Minilik was particularly excellent, and the Secret Lagoon is definitely worth a visit too! The Mountain Villa was a perfect hub to explore the region, with lots of sights and walks within a 30 minute drive, and a good place to travel further into the South from. Overall, a perfect stay and we hope to visit again in the future! Thank you Hafþór and Björn!

We stayed here as a family of four, including two adult children, and had a great experience. We didn’t spend a ton of time in the home since we were out exploring most of the day, but every time we returned, their home feel comfortable, and inviting. The house is located on a busy street, though we didn’t find it noisy at night—it was easy to relax and get a good night’s sleep. It’s was a pleasant walk to the main downtown area of Reykjavík, which made it super convenient for sightseeing, shopping, and dining without needing to drive. The driveway is a bit tight and can be tricky to get in and out of, but we ended up walking almost everywhere, so it wasn’t a big issue for us. All in all, a great base for a Reykjavík stay—clean, cozy, and well-located.

We travel to Iceland often and this is now at the top of our favorites list. The history and authenticity of the home is super interesting and very fun, but the upgrades and amenities make sure that you have no loss of creature comforts. The low ceilinged sleeping arrangements were challenging for two vertically gifted people, but we considered the contortions required to be our flexibility workouts for the week. We love to be west of center city and this location is just far enough from the hub-bub to be convenient and peaceful. If you want to get out of the city, the included car is great for grabbing supplies or visiting farther flung activities. Margret was super helpful and had very fast communication, a great host experience. This will be a highly recommended location for anyone, without small children or elders, that asks me for suggestions.

This house is amazing… it stood out among 3 airbnbs we used this trip… comfortable, well stocked (foosball, great kitchen amenities, quality towels linens and beds) and in an exquisite location on a small cliff with great panoramic views of far-off snow capped mountains. Hosts were responsive when we tripped the circuit breaker and helped us quickly get power back. I have literally zero complaints and so many things i lived about this house!!! Many thanks to these gracious hosts!

This was a really beautiful place to stay, we loved it. House was spotless and so well equipped and warm. Most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! Location was amazing and the views are incredible. The high snow fall did make getting out of the driveway difficult, but that was part of the adventure.

Wonderful place to stay! This house provided all of the amenities we needed for our family of six of various ages. We had a fantastic trip together to Iceland and the hosts were friendly, helpful and responsive to our questions.

A great Airbnb. Modernly furnished but totally cozy. We felt right at home. The hot tub on the terrace: a dream. Great to find with the description. The hosts are always available by phone and take excellent care.

Excellent place that wasn’t too far from Selfoss which has some nice restaurants. The house was perfect and we felt right at home there

This was the best place we have ever stayed as a family. Sigurdurs place is beautiful with the most stunning view. The house is spacious and very warm and cosy. It is absolute heaven, the perfect escape to the countryside with a chance of seeing the northern lights over the lake. I would definitely recommend Sigurdur’s place to everyone. Thank you so much for letting us spend time in your home.

Very comfortable house, well equipped and located in a peaceful location. We had a great time. The views are superb, the jacuzzi very pleasant. Rooms are spacious and the house has all the amenities available.

AMAZING!!! Runar’s place was even better than we could have imagined. The Northern Lights were extremely visible to the naked eye 3 of the 4 nights we stayed. The back deck was lovely to watch Aurora dance in the sky. The furniture and bed (we only used 1 of the 4) were extremely clean and comfortable! To our surprise, the bathroom floor was heated, which was a lovely touch! We absolutely loved our stay here. It was extremely peaceful and secluded but also so close to town. We have already started talking coming back to Iceland and staying here again. It is the perfect home in the perfect location on the Golden Circle.

Arnar’s home is outstanding, we were a family of 3 staying however there was plenty of room for another 4 more people to stay if needed. The living space was nice to relax and look out over the Mountain View’s and the sheep would come by in the morning. It is completely private with its out private drive, a car is needed but everything is close by. We were lucky to see the Northern lights from the home. The pool table was loved by our son and my personal favourite was the hot tub and the electric massage chair. The home is so well located for the Golden circle with most attractions within 30 mins and the secret Lagoon 5 mins away. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with us.

We stayed here as two couples and absolutely loved it. The space offers great privacy between the rooms, which made it really comfortable for sharing. The photos don’t do it justice — it’s much more spacious and welcoming in person. It’s also the most well-stocked Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in — everything we could possibly need was provided, which made the stay even more relaxing and convenient. It’s a perfect base for exploring the south of Iceland, and getting to see the horses on the property was such a lovely bonus. Communication was super fast and helpful throughout, and we had no issues at all during our stay. Highly recommend!
