Carmen
My husband and I stayed here to get a break from our campervan. The house itself was very nice and had everything we needed. However, it was very hot when we arrived. Even after changing to cool settings, it was still very hot. We opened the windows to let in air but then bugs came in. Unfortunately, it was not a very restful night.
Jaime
The place was beautifully designed and well equipped with everything you need my only complaint was it needed a deep clean I found a toe nail by the coffee table and the walls in kitchen had grease and food and dust
Simon
We booked 2 rooms by mistake, that's on me. I did not check both of them, but the one we did use was very underwhelming. The house itself is ok, if a bit sterile. But it hadn't been cleaned properly as the floor was dirty, the shower has soap residues and there was a good amount of dust everywhere. Everything felt cheap, like they bough all of it used and didn't even try to make it look good. It really wasn't a big deal, but with other options available I do not recommend this rental.
Florian
Very basic accommodation. Enough for a comfortable night’s sleep, but furniture was very basic and there was nothing inviting about the place - as if someone assembled a bunch of okra stuff and placed it in the room.
Xuan
We had nothing to complain about it
Felicia
Great to have the whole space to the family. Could use more blackout and the house was very warm.
Sunil
The best hotel we stayed in Iceland. Real nice bedding, clean bathroom and nice lobby with bar open until mid-night. After long day travel, this was the best place to relax and rest. Glad we picked this hotel.
Reema
Be cautious as sulphur smell
Everything was perfect. The property was way better than it looks in pictures. The only thing is the water had a very strong sulphur smell. You cant drink it for sure. Using it for shower and brushing was very difficult.
Lisa
Modern, nice space. Shower was small, but otherwise very comfortable.
Cameron
Grocery store was randomly closed the day we were there but otherwise big and beautiful place to stay with an amazing view!
Muhammed Bilal
This place was perfect for our mid journey stop en route to northern Iceland.
It was so cosy and welcoming, with everything catered to. The owner left us some very useful tips about things to do and see nearby.
We had an incredible night here as we got to see the aurora in a cloudless sky for hours!!!
The seal watching nearby, the next morning was a bonus.

We were given a different room on day of arrival, but still there were many flys. We spent over an hour to catch over 40 flys but the owner only responded with an apology without any actions. Next morning there were more flys and we suspect they were hiding in the ceiling. It was a horrible experience like no other places we stayed in Iceland. Cannot imagine how much worse it will become in summer.
Suki
We drove here bummed because we haven’t seen the northern lights yet. Late at night we heard rumbling outside and the lights were bright and right at in front of our place. Loved this place and its cleanness. My friends and I said we would stay here again.
Sarah
We loved our stay at the Hvammstangi Hill Homes - it was quiet and the house very clean and cozy. We even saw the northern lights from the side of the house last night!
cher chiang
Good peaceful and the serene surroundings to immerse in . Absolutely gorgeous
Garnette
Lovely apartment with plenty of room and home amenities. The staff was very communicative with directions and contactless registration. Property was clean with beautiful views of the fjord.

Irene

Adrian
Great location and great apartment.
Dala
Incredibly clean and surprisingly spacious
Marcus
Great cottage very convenient and easy to find. The property is clean and have everything you need.
Vanessa
Beautiful location, would recommend.
Jean Hung
Nice place
Brandon
The units had a nice kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom. They're in a small town, and away from both the ring road and the main street in town enough that you won't hear any noise.

Cute Family Vacation Rental Spot- Recommended
Great family vacation stopover spot. Very clean. There’s a small utility room with a clothesline to dry your suit if coming from an outdoor hot spring visit.
Know that most rentals in the area have hot spring hot water systems that will smell like well water, not something that can be helped to my knowledge. Just saying to point out it isn’t an issue to be concerned with.
There is a pretty full kitchen as pictured and picnic table out front. The grocery store in town closes early and opens late, so get your provisions early if that’s your plan. There’s a great seafood restaurant next door if you miss the timing.
The walk into town from the unit along a small waterfall stream and park was really pleasant and makes the area feel much more walkable. If you are planning on seal watching in the area, many of the roads are not paved as of June 2024, so plan on double the time your gps claims. Many of the spots are closed due to tourists scaring the seals away, so do some research first.
If pointing out anything to improve, the unit’s bedroom has two twin bed frames that can spread apart some if using as a single bed. Many European flats have two twins as a single queen/full, but often with one big frame to keep them from drifting apart.

Cute area!!
A very cozy place to stay. Cute town. The house was very warm (good for cold summers, not so great for a summer night). Wasn’t sure how to turn down the thermostat. WiFi worked great. Everything is explained in the handy-dandy notebook. Bring your own coffee/tea/sugar for the morning. The laundry at the local swimming pool charges 2500ISK for a load (?!?!).
Gretchen M
spectacular views of sound, easy access around town, wonderfully clean and new.
Sze Yan
Very nice guesthouse with view. Room is big and clean.
Jorge
Despite initial skepticism, renting at this location exceeded my expectations. The space was fantastic, it was very spacious, a full apartment to yourself, no complaints about this.
Christopher
My only complaint is the place did not have any coffee. We had to go 6 miles for a cup of coffee the next morning. No coffee in the village at all until 9:30
Una M C
We have stayed here before and it is a convenient location when driving to or from the north or west. Easy to access and the host gives good instructions.
There are 2 induction rings and a microwave. Filter coffee machine but no coffee provided as is normal in Iceland. No oven. Grocery shop nearby. Swimming pool nearby. There are no boat trips to view seals anymore but the Seal Centre can give you a map of places to drive to.
Cabin is comfortable, quiet, warm and has good blackout curtains. All was clean.
Had two small hand towels provided which was only negative.

We had to change our plans and the host really helped us to move our stay to another night on short notice. Takk
Darren
Excellent property felt very comfortable, lovely location very quiet, we saw the northern lights during our stay all we needed to do was go outside.
Gabor
Spacious home that was very clean and modern. I would definitely stay again.
I will say that when we arrived, we had to park on the street as the driveway was blocked off and they were doing construction on it. Not a big deal but we were not aware of this prior to arriving.

Great location, and lovely accommodation

Very large property for two people. Clean and has everything you need.

Nice View!
Awesome views! This place would be a 10 with the exception of the beds and the check in process. I had never received and email with instructions and had to call Hotels.com to contact property manager to get code for key to get in. The number associated with the property is incorrect! I would think after now reading other reviews that this would be fixed, but I guess not. With not receiving email also did not get wifi password. I had to knock on another persons door and ask them for password. This put us on edge seeing how when we arrived it was in the middle of a snow storm andwe really wanted to get out of our car and into the room. If these issues were corrected I would give this place a 12 on a scale of 10! The town was great and room was not far from essentials.
Jose Angel
Updated, neat, and warm house. Equipped kitchen and spacious.
Sasha
Beautiful cozy apartment, great space in an awesome town. Big room and big bath, well stuffed and we had a blast

Hvammstangi Stay

Google maps mistakes
Google map provides inaccurate location which is the back hill of that property. We drove two rounds and couldn’t find the property until we stopped at where google maps tell us, then we climbed up the hills and found the property was located on another side of hill. There is a road that drive towards the property. We were also trying to reach the property with phone number provided by hotels.com but the number was wrong. We didn’t receive any email from this property directly for check in instruction as well. We called other nearby property then from them to get this property phone number. What a disappointment! I cannot imagine what if we arrive at midnight how we can find it
Verified traveler
These are brand new (as of 2021) homes in Hvammstangi. The host's communication was great and appreciated; GPS coordinates were provided which helped because the roads are not yet on Google maps. A great contactless vacation rental... keys are on-site and the pin code to unlock is sent ahead of time. Great for late night check ins. Heated bathroom floor was a nice touch. Bring your own coffee or expect to head to the gas station in the morning. Would definitely recommend.
imane
The appartement is just fine but we were very desapointed about the view which is very different from the one shown in the pictures. There are some construction in front of the house so it very dusty and the view on the construction is not nice
Matthew
Nice stay
Nice holiday unit walkable to pool and town. View some what lost with new units now built.
Christopher
Hunting Northern Lights
We picked this little town to hunt the Northern Lights. While we weren’t lucky enough to see any during our stay we did like the property we stayed in very much. If you happen to be in Hvammstangi we highly recommend this place.

Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig und ruhig gelegen. Die Aussicht ist schön und man kann direkt neben dem Haus parken.
Die Couch haben wir zum Doppelbett für die Kids umgebaut und sie haben gut geschlafen. Die Küchenausstattung war leider etwas dreckig, ansonsten war es okay.
