This cabin was a real highlight of an already awesome visit to Iceland. Gorgeous location, immaculately clean, and beautifully quiet, our family of 4 had a terrific time here. The hot tub was delightful. Highly recommend!

The hot tub was a nice touch although I needed to learn how to clean it and start it up. Olafsjordur basically shuts down at night with only one restaurant open after hours and no grocery stores. The property owner responded quickly to my call for pots and pans.

The cabins were really nice, and some of them look out on a spectacular view. Cabins were clean and warm, and internet was good. Not all cabins have a spectacular view. The instructions to check in were problematic as the keycode was never sent (or never received). In that case you need to go to a different hotel across the street to get the info. The area is beautiful but not developed for tourists yet.

This property advertising was misleading. We expected the cabin to be out of town and with more seclusion, with nature and space around the cabin. The cabins are in a line facing a nearly dry slew not a large lake or the fjord. The TV didn't work. The cabins are beautiful, spacious and clean.

Cute, private cabins
The cabins are cute and the little lake had ducklings when we were there. Easy check-in and check out.

Great little cabin on an unswimmable lake
The cabin itself was great, with everything we needed (especially the hot tub on the porch!), but the pictures on the website make the surrounding area look a lot more remote and attractive than it actually is. The lake is very shallow and unsuitable for swimming, but apparently attractive to local jet skiers. The kayaks available for use are fun, but pretty beat up.

I was expecting the cabin to be in a touristy setting but it was in the middle of the city with no view and little natural light coming in. When we arrived the windows were closed and there was a slight smell.

Amazing cabins right by a lake. Feels very disconnected, which was great. Also has a hot tub. Which was a major plus.

Very nice cabin in the north of Iceland, very clean and with all facilities. Great view, easy to check in, hot tub in porch overlooking the water and snowy mountains. Instruction about how to use the hot tub very clear. All in all perfect accommodation for us, probably the best we had.

Ok place
We had a cabin for the night. Beds and linens were not very comfortable. There was a consistent buzz from something thru out the night, possibly the heating system. Not good value for the money. No restaurants open in town.

Don't be fooled by the pictures - not remote
A slightly disappointing experience when we find out that the cabins are in town - right outside the door are residential apartments, window looks on to a street, the hot tub looks on to another street. We essentially couldn't keep our curtains open without someone being able to see inside. (We saw people walking their dogs are we sat in the tub.) Street lights too bright for good Northern Lights watching. We used the sofa couch for the third person but sheets had holes in them and couch hard to figure out how to make into a bed. The cabin itself was functional and cute but don't be fooled that this is located somewhere remote. It's a hotel in town, but in cabin form. Hot tub was nice!
