The cottage was really nice and large. Much better than the hotels we stayed at. The only thing was the shower water was a bit smelling of sulphur but they were upfront about that.

Very nice cabin. Had some difficulty finding the cabin. Sulfur smell in the water was off-putting, but not a deal breaker. Hot tub was great.

We stayed at the 4 person apartment. It was spacious and the kitchen was nice. We however did not like the surroundings. We expected to be on a farm like setting which was not the case. It had a nice size outdoor hot tub.

Great place overall it was a comfortable stay. There was one door on the patio that was a little weird to open and close and my family member was able to open it from the outside without unlocking. In terms of the check in I think the sent instructions for check in could be a little bit more clear as to where to go for the reception including a full address or google maps link.

Our stay here was amazing! It was SO clean, quiet, and private. The communication with the host was fantastic and the cabin exceeded our already high expectations. The hot tub was perfect despite -8 degree C weather, and the northern lights made a spectacular unforgettable experience.

Favorite property of the trip.
Cottage was large and comfortable. We really enjoyed the windows on all sides, so we had a view of everything. The hot tub in the center was great. Rob’s and clogs are provided. This was our favorite property of our 7 day trip.

Comfortable cabin with delightful hot spring
This was the most expensive place we stayed in Iceland but also the best. The cabin was terrific and comfortable, the hot springs delightful, and the horse ride we booked at a discount was terrific. We really appreciated the attention to recycling and the good communication with the management.

A Beautiful & Peaceful Sanctuary
On an trip to Iceland with my 11 year old, we decided to explore the more remote parts of the country. We stayed at the Hestasport Cottages for 1 night and my daughter declared it the best night of the trip. Beautiful, quiet, peaceful, amazing. Thank you Hestasport Cottages!
