This is an incredible place to stay. It was problem the best lodge we've ever been to. It has stunning views across the fjord which can be enjoyed from the hot tub. It's really well equipped and was always a great place to come back to at the end of the day. Thank you!

Spotless cabin that managed to be both modern and charming. Nice location, overlooking the fjord and Akureyri, with a handy picture window for checking for northern lights through the night. Well-appointed kitchen as well. We'd happily stay there again!

Nice space, great views.

Really nice location. Google maps tried to take us a different way each time. So the hosts may want to check that. A few of the dishes in the drawers were dirty when we arrived, but otherwise very nice and clean. If you are expecting a North American style hot tub, it is not that. No jets and you fill it with hot water yourself. Fills quickly and is ready in about 30-45 minutes. The view is spectacular, very comfortable beds. Would recommend to others.

Best of the best

This was the perfect stop on the ring road. We were 2 minutes from the forrest lagoon, and 5 minutes from the center of Akureyri. The home was well equipped with the BEST shower of our stay. The sky was very dark and great for star/aurora watching. We were thoroughly inpressed with the luxury of the space. Owners were very gracious and went above and beyond for our stay. This place was charming, comfortable, and convenient.

My wife and I stayed here for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed the place, the view of the mountains and the fjord/town of Akureyri, and the spectacular show that we got from the northern lights on one of our nights there. We saw the lights on two of the four nights, and of course, there's never a guarantee. But on the night that we had a mostly clear sky, the show was spectacular. If you visit in the winter and get lucky, it's a beautiful spot to see the lights overheard from outside both the back and front of the place. Benedikt was good when it came to answering questions by email, and we chose not to rent a car and use the local taxi company to get to and from town. That added a little expense to the stay, but it was well worth it for us. Some guests in the other units did what we did. Some rented cars. It worked very nicely either way. We strongly recommend staying here and hope you get lucky with the lights like we did.

Amazing Hideaway

We loved staying in our Viking Cottage. It was so nice to have a spacious place with a personal hot tub all to ourselves! The heated floors were amazing, and the bed in the loft was very comfortable. The location is just a few minutes drive from the Forest Lagoon and downtown Akureyri and about a half hour from Goðafoss waterfall. It is beautiful to look across the fjord and see the town and the mountains from the cottage. A perfect vacation getaway spot! It was our favorite place we stayed in Iceland and wished we'd stayed for more than two nights.

Great views from a cool cottage

Great location in a very cool, stylishly designed cottage. Nice touch with use of the hot tub plus an orange press with fresh oranges available to be used.
Only a couple of downsides, being the fridge never got cold (not ideal for self catering) and the stove top espresso machine must have previously been burnt as no matter how much we cleaned it, it always created burnt coffee, so could do with being replaced. Would be happy to stay there again though.

A rare find and highly recommended

The Viking Cottages were a rare (last minute) find on our whimsical drive around the coast of Iceland and are truly fantastic. Finished to a very high standard, extremely comfortable beds, clean, tidy, great amenities including hot tub and even extra touches above what we expected (fresh oranges and orange press for juice).

The only comment I would have for anyone considering staying in winter would be that a 4 wheel drive is probably needed if you’re planning to go out in the days. We left our car at the top of the hill (in the car park) on the second day as was much easier to get out from there.

Amazing! Wish I could stay here longer.

Home away from home! Everything was just how I like it. The design of the house is modern and simple, the temperature in the house was perfect. It's new, clean and thoughtfully decorated. The floors were warm and beds are so comfy!!! The shower was one of the best I ever had. We spent few hours in Jacuzzi and absolutely loved the view. I wish I never had to leave that house.

This was a beautiful cottage slightly outside the town, with a fantastic view and great amenities. It was convenient to be able to cook and do laundry. But even better to enjoy the beauty of the location. It was a convenient point for day trips - Polar Hestar horse rides were a high point.

Cute cottage to stay at.

Lovely cottage. We had thought that it was one of the raw timber cottages displayed on the pictures but it is not. Still lovely but the bedroom is extremely small. And the spa pool is also very small. But for the price we paid it was good value (for over priced Iceland )

Clean, stylish, and comfortable cottage

The space was beautiful and impeccably clean. We loved having access to the washing machine and the hot tub. The lofted bed had a great view of the city and the water.

The owner gave us helpful direction for finding the place, which was ~10 minute drive from Akureyri city center.

We enjoyed our stay and would visit again!

Wonderful cottage in an amazing location

A very nice cottage, very well equipped with everything you can think of. Located about 5 min drive from Akurery just near the famous view point overlooking the fjord and the city. We stayed in a two bedroom cottage. The other bedroom was in the second floor and had its own living room. The kitchen was well equipped and we used it a lot to overcome the terribly expensive rates in the restaurants.

Wow. This place is in itself a great place to stay. Very clean, comfortable with a hot tub with great views. But if you can appreciate unique architecture and design, you will love this place. Most of the interior floors, walls and ceilings are made of plywood (or plywood-looking) material and all the cabinetry is very clean looking. It's definitely very modern looking. We were in one of the 2 bdrm units, and if get a choice go for the B unit vs the A unit because I believe it gets better views and has more windows. There's great kitchen amenities and a clean washer/dryer. There was a giant B&O bluetooth speaker when I stayed. Maybe we missed the instructions somewhere, but one suggestion I would have is better instruction on how to fill the hot tub. We eventually figured it out though without any help.

Cottage is beautiful and a really cool design. The only drawback is that it is far from town and the cottage is not stocked with basics you need to cook for yourself (spices, salt and pepper, condiments).
