Cute little cabin with great views, Icelandic horses and a private waterfall. So 5 stars for that.

But: Seriously 32 Euro for three towels and damaged linen? If you can bring your own.
Sadly the grill did not work, and the hot tub is out of order until May. Would have been great to watch Lady Aurora from there.
But all in all we had a good time and would come again.

The GPS didnt take us to the exact spot, but not far off. We ended up in the parking lot of a green house across the road. The owner of the cottage was super helpful (over the phone) to cross the road and go up the hill. Smooth communication all the way. The cottage was clean and comfortable. It was our first experience to stay in a cottage on a big vast farm land! There was a small creek visible from the backside window. You can also see sheep eating grass too! We wish we could stay there for more days. Definitely recommend it! It could be better to have wifi provided, our phones (from US) didnt have signal here (although we bought a Iceland SIM card for one of our phones). However, it was good when look at it from the other angle, which forced us to stay away from the chaotic world and enjoy a quite night in Iceland! One more piece of information, for those who wonder where to get breakfast, the owner told us to drive back (or ahead, depends on which way you came) to a small town called Blonduos. it is 10-15 min away from the cottage.The breakfast was great in a TripAdvisor recommended restaurant, right off the main road, The name of it is B&S if my memory serves me well.

Die Lage ist ein Traum. Vom Sofa aus sieht man einen Wasserfall und man kann ganz toll wandern.
Leider war der Schlüssel nicht am verabredeten Ort und das Haus sehr dreckig. Die Mülltonne vor der Tür war mehr als voll. Wir haben herumliegenden Müll aufgesammelt. Die Haustür ließ sich nicht abschließen. Leider hat die Besitzerin auf unsere Email nicht geantwortet.

The cabin is very simple but provides everything one needs for a mini vacation. The location is beautiful and the hosts were very responsive. We had a nice stay at Stóra Giljá!

The house was nice it is very close to the main road, the view around the house was beautiful, the hot tub was full of flies so you have to connect the hose to the bathroom to clean it other than that we enjoyed our stayin also helpful owners.

Ladies and gentlemen, as we have already informed you, we have not been able to start our journey due to the Covid 19 situation. We had also asked them to give us the opportunity, as a gesture of goodwill, to postpone this booking until 2021. Unfortunately, we have not received a reply to this request from them.
We were not in their accommodation in September 2020 and therefore we cannot evaluate them.
Best regards family Friebel

Le cadre est magnifique, avec vue spendide sur une petite cascade et les collines environnantes. Magnifique au coucher du soleil. De plus, le bungalow est situé au calme. Contact facile avec les propriétaires. Les équipements du bungalow sont toutefois un peu vétustes. Nous avons été déçu à ce niveau.

Das Hau hat eine schöne Lage.
Für 4 Personen etwas klein, man muss sich gut organisieren.
Bei der Ausstattung fehlt ein großer Topf und eine große Pfanne.
So hat alles gepasst !!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Nice, simple summer house, maybe a little rough around the edges, but that suited us just fine, especially for the price. Lovely surroundings, and very close to some other nice towns and villages. The thing we most liked about the cabin was that it was fairly secluded. There?s one other summer house close by, but it?s still far enough away that you don?t get disturbed.

Very good and beautiful place next to the accommodation.

You don?t see the accommodation when you arrive at night so open your eyes but I recommend.

The view is very nice, moutain and waterfall. The cottage itself is very simple and small. When we arrived the cottage was not very clean. A lot of dust and dead flies. We cleaned the cottage ourself. The hottub is nice. You can also sit outside but there was a lot of birdpoo. We cleaned the table and chairs so we were able to sit outside as well. Next to all the cleaning we had a nice time!

Very nice surrondings. The cottage is also nice even if some of the equipments are starting to be "old and broken". Very confortable for 4 people.

We stayed 4 days dasn this rental, small but very well laid out and with all the necessary equipment. Only (small) remark: the bed of 2 people could be a little bigger ...
Most of the location: being able to enjoy the private "hot tub" with its warm spring water was very nice after a day of hiking!

This accommodation has a lot of potential. It is set next to the most picturesque background and is a very cute cottage, but it really needs a good clean.

We have a very pleasant stay in this house. The views of waterfalls were great and if you walked up the stream, they got better. Everything was as described. As with all houses that are new to you, a few things take figuring out but it was a great place to stay.

A nice place, the cottage has everything and is correct, but is not new and maybe needs some minor renovation (tv,...)
