Great location - less than 15 minutes from Jokulsarlon / Glacier Lagoon. Cozy cabin with beds for 6, great view of the waterfall, and 2 close restaurants. Perfect for families or big groups.

This cottage was amazing! Cute, clean, comfortable, quiet. It was everything we could have wanted and all that we needed for a family of 4 (two teens). It was no problem to check-in at Gerdi's nearby. It is a little hard to find, so you may either need some patience in the dark or want to arrive while it's light. It's worth it though! Bonus: the waterfall is lit up at night, so during the short days of winter, it can be enjoyed. You can hear and see the waterfall when outside but not inside, so it does not disturb sleep. Highly recommend this place!

I booked the luxury modern cabin and it was neither. The location you check in is about 5 mins down the road. The TV didn’t work but I didn’t feel like driving back to let them know. The waterfall behind the property was beautiful but I would book a different hotel next time.

The cottage was clean, nicely updated, and very comfortable. The staff at the location of check in were not friendly; and even though they touted laundry as an available amenity, it was clear they disnt want to honornthat. We ended up washing clothes in the sinks at the cottage.

The Old Cottage was a small drive from reception. This proved to be worthwhile since it was beautifully located in front of waterfalls and among trees. It was truly wonderful to be in an accomodaiton that allowed you to enjoy the natural beauty of Iceland. The accomodation was also very spacious and clean. My party was extremely happy to have seperate spaces in the property. We wish we were able to stay longer. The staff was very helpful in communicating with me and I appreciated the fact that they had breakfast/dinner available.

Beautiful location with waterfalls right behind. Easy to access and park. Check in took a bit of time as had to go to another property and received the code which could have come via email or message instead but was close by anyways. Property was very nice. Person at check-in was friendly and helpful. Spacious cabin with plenty of room for our family of 5. Nice beds, nice bathrooms and kitchen was great.

We loved our stay in the luxury cottage. It was bright and clean and perfect for our family of 3. The location is great for doing things in the south such as Diamond Beach/Jökulsárlón Lagoon, Múlagljúfur Canyon, and Svartifoss. We would recommend the luxury cottage.

Very nice cottage. Clean and we enjoyed our night there. A bit pricey for my taste but it met our needs. The check in process is weird. You have to drive to a completely different location to check in and then drive to the cottage with the code to get the key to get into the cottage. Not sure why they made it more difficult than it has to be. Otherwise everything else was fine.

Patio door had no lock on it. We rigged up an “alarm” on it while we slept. Check-in was laughable. See photo. A lady who was very impatient gave me directions to a place over a mile away. She pulled out the paper in the photo and told me to take a picture. Finding the registration building was also difficult. No markings and the coordinates the gave me took me to a cabin. Do not stay, the pictures make it look nicer. The scenery around it is outstanding.

Pleasant stay in Cottages

We overnighted in the old cottages and was very comfortable and nice. The cottage was spacious yet cozy. Very clean, nicely furnished, and had 2 bathrooms! The only suggestion would be to add a curtain to the bathroom windows for privacy. Wonderful waterfalls in the back.

We loved it. Party of 7. Each cabin sleeps 8 but we had ti rent 2 cabins because they fine you TONS extra in fees for every person in your party over 4. So, it doesn’t make sense. But that was our only complaint. Loved the place. (Needed paper towels and a cookie sheet, but those are small things,)

Beautiful cottage. We loved the waterfall view and comfortable beds. We waited for the host at the registration property at least twenty minutes after the 4pm check in time and nearly missed our glacier lagoon tour. I recommend they move to a contactless check in since the only thing they do is give you the key box code.

Beautiful magical property. Everything was 10 stars except for the fact that we were woken up at 3am by chirping smoke alarm and then again half an hour later by the second one. The batteries were obviously not changed and it really put a dent into next day exploring as we were not rested.

Awesome stay with 2 beautiful waterfalls behind

The cottage was awesome! 2 beautiful waterfalls behind, the cottage had almost all amenities except dishwasher and laundry. We had a great stay and would love to stay again! The only thing i would request is to add a dishwasher if you can
