clean cosy apartment in downtown
It was a very pleasant experience, the room was located in a very convenient place, you can find supermarket, nice restaurants all in walking distance. The house was clean and cozy, Selma was so nice and always replied in a very short period of time~ will come back again if it is possible~ 5-star recommend!

Fabulous Penthouse Apartment on the main street
We enjoyed our stay in Jon’s beautiful apartment. Right in the heart of Reykjavik, it had a splendid view and was walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. Jon was very responsive and easy to work with.

Stylish ocean view apartment
Hildur’s apartment was the perfect base for our stay in Reykjavik. It is walking distance from the city centre but in a quiet and beautiful part of town. We loved the view of the water and the sunset from the living room. The apartment is beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, including for cooking meals. It was comfortable, spacious and very clean. Hildur met us at checkin and left lots of local recommendations. She was very friendly, welcoming and easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend a stay! Thank you Hildur 😊

Ocean view apartment near city centre!
Me, my wife and our son stayed at Ingiberg’s place for 6 nights on our trip to Iceland. The apartment was very easy to find and we were able to park the car in the allocated bay (inside the garage). It is slightly outside of the main town but providing you don’t mind a walk (35 minutes) like us then it is not a problem at all. The apartment was nicely furnished and had everything we needed. Tv and sound system were great for the evenings. Ingiberg was very responsive on messages and even alerted us when the northern lights were on show. Would definitly recommend staying at the apartment to anyone visiting Iceland.

Open and bright apartment in a quiet outdoor gem.
My family and I (5 adults) had a great stay there. Hjalmar and his wife greeted us when we arrived at the house. He was very responsive and flexible with our check-in. The place was clean and comfortable. It had everything. We would stay there again. Highly recommend!

Cozy luxury apartment in traditional house
This was a highlight - now we dream of coming back to this apartment for a month. What a beautiful place, perfectly appointed and in a great location!

Ólafsvík - one bedroom apartment # 3
Great place - easy to find, exactly as described, clean and with a view of the harbour. There was a grocery store right across the street which was helpful as we were traveling with a child and wanted to cook our meals. We only stayed one night as we were driving through the area. Would definitely stay here again.

Stylish Apartment in Downtown Reykjavik
A beautiful apartment in a super location. Easy reach of all of Reykjavík’s attractions and sites. The apartment is spacious, beautifully decorated and lovely and warm. The parking was trickier than anticipated (not the fault of the host) so I would do more planning in advance if travelling with a car as we ended up having to move our car a number of times. Other than that, a fantastic stay!

Design Cottage Close to Icelandic Countryside & Reykjavik
A perfect place for our family of three. Removed enough from Reykavik but a great home base for all of our adventures in the area. The house and grounds are beautiful and relaxing. The host family is so nice and great for recommendations. Finding the house, parking, checking in/out was all very easy. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Álfasteinn, Destination Paradise
The location couldn’t be better , right at the base of the Kirkjufell. Waking up to that view was surreal. The peace and quiet of the surroundings made it the perfect escape. The cabin was cozy and well-equipped, and Anna and Óli were thoughtful hosts. An unforgettable stay in one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been!

Luxury cabins with waterfront view
Picturesque location by the river, secluded private cabins with amenities and glorious sunsets ! Ideal place to stay if you are doing the golden circle or would like to be centrally located to cover all major attractions – Gulfoss, Secret lagoon, Kerid Crater, Reykjadalur geothermal hot springs, and Seljalandsfoss / Skógafoss. Selfoss town is a short drive away and the route to Thingvellir Nation Park from the cabin is spectacular. The price is reasonable, by Icelandic standards. Hosts, Arni and family, were of great help throughout and are prompt in responding to messages. Highly recommended.

Ocean Front Designer Townhouse
The ocean view from this home was absolutely stunning. The location was great, with easy access to nearby restaurants and shops. The host was incredibly helpful. I had a wonderful stay!

Hvalfjarðarsveit Cottage with Mountain view
A beautiful, peaceful setting, with stunning views. Kathrin and her husband let us know when the northern lights appeared one evening and helped us with the settings on our i-phone so we could take the best pictures. Very appreciative or their help. We highly recommend their quiet cottage.

Art & Nature Retreat in Iceland - The Crib Rocks
Our family of 6 stayed for a week of sightseeing. This was the perfect home base! The view is breathtaking inside and out of this amazing Art House! It was an easy walk to restaurants and the local shops. We utilized Michelle’s extensive list of suggestions for touring the area and we were not disappointed. It was hard to say goodbye and we hope to return one day. Thank you Michelle for everything!

House with a wonderful view of mountains and sea
Very nice house in a peaceful corner, lit up at night. The kitchen was very good and the bedrooms on the same floor as well, the sofa bed was very comfortable Has a washing machine and a very convenient dryer, all the necessary spices and condiments In addition, Margret was ready to change our arrival dates at her place due to bad weather and our uncertainty of arriving on the right day. The only small problem is the room which is in the basement, very humid Other than that we had a great time at Margret's place

Waterfront Fjord House - The Loft with Seaview

Cozy Seaside Apartment with Stunning Bay Views

Slow Travel Mývatn - Áúfa - Private Homestay
Great place, cozy and unique and close to lots of stuff to see

Ocean View Condo near Sky Lagoon
The apartment was very spacious, clean, comfortable with a lovely view of the little harbor nearby. It provided my son and I with a base to explore many of Iceland's attractions using our car rental. Getting into the city takes about 12 minutes by car and around 45 minute by bus. We opted to cook at home since there's not a lot of restaurants nearby. Generally speaking this was a fantastic place to stay and made our whole week in Iceland stress free and relaxing. The apartment also has great water pressure and lots of warm water!

Downtown Harbor Apartment
The Harbor Apartment was perfect to visit Reykjavik. It’s clean, comfortably furnished, nicely decorated, and wonderfully warm and inviting on a cold January visit to Iceland. The location was unbeatable, just across the street from the scenic old harbor and near plenty of excellent restaurants and steps from a small market for your daily needs. The host provided voluminous tips on getting around and responded quickly with a work-around when we discovered that the Internet network listed in the check-in instructions was down. We would definitely stay here again. Just one small caveat for light sleepers—the bedroom window is located next to the ground floor elevator and you can occasionally hear the voices of people coming and going, or stomping the snow off their shoes before they get in the elevator.

Bright Apartment With Ocean View & Near Downtown
We enjoyed our stay immensely! We loved the location — it was quiet, but still really close to everything — and the view of the water was beautiful !! The space itself was lovely - clean, open and airy, and had all the basic things we needed. Also— for the parents traveling with young kids— we used the crib, high chair, and was perfect for small kids. Would stay here again!

Reykjavik west town by the sea
Snorri and Svava’s Airbnb was so cozy, clean, and in a great location near the city and next to the water. They were so responsive and friendly! I would stay again!

Lovely 1 bedroom condo next to Sky Lagoon
Unnur’s place was absolutely spectacular, and she was an exceptional communicator. She went out of her way to ensure I had everything I needed, including a charging adapter upon arrival and extra towels for my comfort. Her communication was truly outstanding.

The Artic Oasis
The home was absolutely stunning and the hosts were so gracious. Their hospitality was unmatched! We enjoyed every second of our visit and if given the opportunity to return, would definitely stay at Tinna’s again. It was perfect, from booking all the way through to departure. Wouldn’t change a thing!
