Apartment rentals in Reykjavík

Modern 3BR Ocean View Apartment in Reykjavik
Listing is as described. Very nice, very clean, beautiful sea view from the living room area. The amount of dishes is a little insufficient. And the very impersonal welcome, we preferred to be greeted by the other than to find the key in a flower pot.

A spacious apartment right downtown Reykjavik
We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The location couldn’t have been better—just a short walk to popular attractions like Rainbow Road and plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. It made exploring the city super convenient. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, always quick to answer any questions and make sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area!

Lovely flat near center and seaside
Everything was nice and well organized .

Charming Apartment / Reykjavik

Reykjavik4You - Deluxe Two Bedroom Apartment
Fantastic Stay – Clean, Perfect Location, and Ideal for Families! We had an amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless and beautifully maintained. The attention to detail was impressive, and it felt just like home—only better! The location couldn’t have been more perfect. We were close to everything we needed—shops, restaurants, attractions—and still had a quiet, peaceful place to come back to at the end of the day. This place was perfect for our family. The layout was spacious, the beds were super comfortable, and there were thoughtful touches throughout the apartment. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and will definitely be booking again the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!

Quiet street, Near Famous Church.Private entrance
Lena´s place is great for a couple or single traveler. The location is right next to the church but is on a side street so it was nice and quiet.

One bedroom apartment, car included
Thank you for your great hospitality and life lessons while we explored your beautiful country! Our most breathtaking day was driving up to Snæfellsjökull Peninsula/National Park. Your providing a car with the airbnb was so appreciated- as was the pickup from the airport and the stop to see your "friend". Thanks for making us feel at home while traveling abroad.

House rentals in Reykjavík

Beautiful home in the gardens
Tara’s home was a great find. It’s close to the city center (15ish minute drive) in a quiet residential area. Kitchen is fully equipped to cook full meals, grill outside, grocery store 2 minutes away. Book, games and toys for the kids including soccer and basketballs. Everything we could need was available. She was quick to respond to questions and was kind enough to let us check in early after our red eye flight. Highly recommend.

Cosy and family friendly house in Reykjavik very
The house was spacious, clean , tidy and we felt at home. All amenities and description were the same as in the advertisement in air B&B. Nice neighbourhood and easy to walk to the supermarket although we had a car. Definitely recommend to others Kjartan was a great host before and during our stay . Iceland is a lovely country.

Modern 5-bedroom home with indoor fireplace
Good place to stay near downtown.

Massive Villa in Downtown Reykjavík with a Sauna
We loved this Airbnb. It was perfect for our group and even left us with extra space to lounge in. Our host was amazingly responsive and helped us locate everything from luggage storage to the best transportation to our lava show. We loved the sauna, although we found the stairs down to be a bit treacherous. Everything was clean and the beds were some of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Iceland has become a repeat destination for us over the last few years and we would definitely stay here again. We suggest you try Reykjavik's Chips one night. The best restaurant and it's right around the corner.

Luxurious row house with hot tub, gym eq and sauna
The place is spacious, stylish and cozy! Communication was very timely as well. Highly recommend!

Great apartment close to city centre
As a group of four we stayed at Anna’s place for two nights. The bed as well as the sleeping couch were comfy. The kitchen equipment was a bit sparse, for example there were only three cups and unfortunately no kettle. Otherwise, the accommodation was clean, within walking distance of the city center and great for the start of our Iceland trip. I would recommend Anna's accommodation.

Cozy Mid-Century modern 60's villa in Reykjavik
Great location easy access to the buss that took us to Harpa.

City House 5 min walk to center
Jenny's place was a great location and had plenty of room for our group of 7. We loved our stay here!

Canyon cottages
The cabins sit on a road away from where reception is, and the instructions were clear to get there. The hot tub does take a while to fill up, since it is filled with geothermal spring water, but it is definitely a must in Iceland. Relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of hiking and traveling the Golden Circle was a perfect ending.

Seaside Apartment, Fifteen Minutes From Capital
10/10. Maria and her family were wonderful hosts. From letting my children play with their pets to allowing us flexible check in and out due to our flight times, this listing is an absolute gem. Great water (drinking and bathing), beautiful yard, killer views. We saw the northern lights right from our windows multiple nights. I wish we could have stayed forever!

Luxury close to the capital
This is such a beautiful place to stay. It has everything you need at the cabin and more. It is warm and cosy and such a relaxing place to come back to after full days out exploring Iceland. Alfa and Finnur were very helpful with quick responses to any questions we had as well as useful pre holiday advice. The beds were comfy and the cabin and clean and tidy inside and out. The decking area was a lovely place to sit and relax and listen to the birds. We will be recommending to friends and family

Cozy Cottage in Reykjavik Iceland
We had a wonderful stay here. Our family of 4 was comfortably and felt right at home for our stay. It felt very private yet I could message Sigrun for recommendations and questions anytime and she replied quickly. We highly recommend this location if you plan to visit Iceland. It’s a great ‘home base’ if you want to do day trips.

Cabin home with a view, Northern light, hot tub.
This is a amazing place! It’s quiet, tidy, and friendly for a group of friends. Ylfa is so easygoing and responsive to whatever problems we had. The lovely house has a nice and well-equipped kitchen that allows us to make dinners. We really enjoyed the stay and definitely recommend this place! 👍👍

Quiet, Secluded Lake Home with Stunning Views
Amazing and beautiful rental for our first time in Iceland! Helga is very communicative and very responsive. We had a lovely time and will definitely return in the future.

Great countryside in Hvalfjörður
A perfect place to stay for a week with family to discover Iceland. The hosts are really attentive to their guests and the place is beautiful.

Downtown at the ocean in the center of Reykjavik
Extremely well stocked with supplies and all sorts of gadgets and home comforts. Christmas decorations and a small gift for each of the children along with a bottle and chocolates were such a thoughtful and nice touch as we were staying over Christmas Day. Just bear in mind it’s a tourist attraction so if you don’t lock the door you may get an unexpected visitor. We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of character and very homely.
