Fantastic Cottage
The cottage was charming, spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was really good, four burners, an oven and cookwear in good condition. Everything was very well organized including a QR code at reception to load directions to the cottage into google maps and another QR code n the cottage to join the internet which was fast and reliable. Highly recommended.

We loved the hot tub in the middle of the cottages. Very nice cabin that came fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, towels, bath robes, and several sizes of crocs to walk to the hot tub in. Spacious and comfortable.

We loved Hestasport Cottages! The hot tub was very relaxing. The property was wonderful and it was so nice having our own private cottage after staying in many cramped guesthouses and hotels.

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.
