This is such a special hotel. Very unique and design, well maintained and any very cool location. We were a bit nervous to stay so far from the city, as the hotel is about 25 minutes from Reykjavík. But, when we arrived, we were so glad we did it! You cannot beat the stunning views and location. Being right on the water was so exciting, having views of Reykjavík from across the water was beautiful and the horses roaming around the fields near the hotel were a point of excitement for our kids. We did not meet or talk to any staff while we were staying, but we had no issue or reason to need to reach out. Everything we needed was in the room, and everything was clean and well kept. We did not have an opportunity to use the hot tub or sauna, as we were on a short trip. But we did go up and check them out, and they looked very nice. We highly recommend for anyone with children and or simply seeking beautiful views and some nature outside their room.

Fisherman Village location was outstanding, really loved being surrounded by water and being close to nature with birds and horses. Our bed was comfortable, and the Family room accommodation was spacious. There could have been a few upgrades throughout, for example there was only one TV channel that worked, there were no water glasses or cutlery provided, and the layout of the main area with the fridge could have had more counter space for making coffee or tea. But otherwise, our stay was lovely and the location is very unique.

We had a very good stay at the Fisherman’s Village. It was a lovely setting, saunas and jacuzzis were clean and easy to use. Our room was cleaned daily and stocked with tea, coffee kettle and mini fridge. We asked - for extra coffee and the staff member literally Ran to get it for us. Easy to get to get to and secluded.

Looks cute in photos, dampness and odour in room requires windows open 24/7, unsecured light fixtures hanging from ceiling, wall to wall subway tile look wallpaper peeling in bathroom and water stains on linoleum bath wet-room floor gives it a run down feeling. Shower drain floods the room. No window blinds on A-Frame windows means daylight all night long in summer. No staff on site, self check in/out. Good on-site parking. Remote location. You will need a vehicle for this location as closest pizza restaurant 2.5km away, no other local amenities like grocery or restaurants within walking distance.

The location of this stay is amazing. The layout of the rooms are great for families. The kids will love the loft.

The communication with the staff was great after the initial confusion about self check-in verses checking in at the hotel.

The bedding was clean.

When we arrived, late at night, we discovered the sink was not draining. We contacted the staff and they said someone would be over to take a look at it. They arrived quickly. Because of our late arrival. This meant they showed up at midnight and were working in it until 1am. The gentleman helping do this was great. We later found out that he was the owner of the property. The staff told me that he still likes to get his hands dirty every once in awhile.

He was able to make a temporary repair and explained to us that the proper fix would happen the next day.

The next day we discovered the shower also didn't drain...

There were also a couple issues with finish nails sticking out of the floor on the loft. This could be an issue with smaller children, but ours just steered clear of them.

Even with these two small setbacks this stay was great. The location is wonderful. We didn't have time to partake in the hot tub or sauna before we left, but they looked clean and usable.

The only true improvement I could think of is that they should have a person on-site to field any issues that may arise.

The property itself was decent, but the room we received looked nothing like what was advertised in the photos. Additionally, the in-room amenities were quite limited — only a hair dryer and an electric kettle were provided.
Since we arrived late in the evening, we had no means to cook a meal and struggled to find a nearby place that served food at that hour. For anyone planning to stay here, I'd strongly recommend coming prepared with your own food arrangements.
As for the hot tubs, the property has two, both of which are kept filled at all times. Unfortunately, we never got the chance to use them, as they were almost constantly occupied by other guests

We got in late and couldn’t figure out how to lock the door for a while. Then, around midnight, there was a knocking sound that was constant and seemed like it was coming from the roof. I didn’t know what it was but someone in another room, who also couldn’t sleep, got it to stop. However, it started again around 5am. Ridiculous!!!! We had to leave early for a flight so we were in the room less than 7 hours and it was not worth the money! Beautiful area but with no one on the property to help if you have problems! Tiny bathroom. No shade on the window of the front door.

I couldn’t find the hot tub, or the staff to ask where it was. Check-in was NOT smooth and I was kept waiting in the cold for 20 minutes before somebody came to unlock my unit, which was supposed to be unlocked already. Luke-warm water in my unit. They only had packets of instant coffee.

While the view is beautiful, and it is secluded, pack your own food and drinks. Expect no service or help with anything. And if you want the hot tub, only book the units with a private hot tub so you can actually access it.

I was so pleased with my experience at Fisherman’s Village-I strongly recommend it and will definitely go back if given the chance. Reserving the space was so easy and it was surprisingly affordable, given that it’s right on the water. Communication from the property was very easy and fast! I wanted to let them know I’d be checking in late in the evening and they responded within minutes saying that was perfectly fine. The location is amazing-we saw the northern lights as soon as we pulled in. It’s about 15 minutes outside of the city but it feels more secluded than that (in a good way). It was essentially self check-in and getting into the room was very easy-no issues at all. I’ll have to recheck the name of the room we had, but it had a queen bed and two singles in a loft. It was so warm and cozy, especially nice after a day long tour of the Golden Circle. I thought having robes for us was a really nice touch that elevated the atmosphere. Even though there were many people outside looking at the lights, it wasn’t noisy at all. In the morning we got to finally look around and it was still gorgeous. The mountains and rock beach were all breathtaking. Checkout was simple and we could park right by our little “house”. We didn’t spend enough time there to use the hot tub or sauna, so I can’t speak to those (although watching the lights from the tub would have been cool). We had the BEST experience!!

I was pleasantly surprised by the isolation (what I wanted) of the Fisherman's Village. The instructions of room access was spot on. I choose the room with a hot tub, a sauna and both were a welcome addition. Although there was some distant (across the water) light pollution, a moderate Aurora Borealis KP index still made sighting possible. That particular room had a three comfortable separate sleeping areas and a generously sized bathroom with the sauna, shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, and hairdryer. As you walk in there is a sitting area with two chairs, coffee table, small sofa, small refrigerator, and closet with hangers. The sleeping areas consisting of one bedroom on the main level (w/door to access hot tub). Within that bedroom a stairway leads up to a second sleeping area, and the third sleeping area is accessed by a stairway in the sitting area. (Yes, there are two stairways and a wall between the two upper sleeping areas.) I would HIGHLY recommend the Fisherman's Village.

Fisherman's Village is without a doubt the best place to stay on the western side of Iceland. The staff are really nice and come by once a day asking if you need new towels, face cloths, coffee, tea, sugar or creamer, they're also nice to talk to and great if you need advice or recommendations.
Fisherman's Village also happens to be a guide hotspot as it's THE BEST place to see the aurora borealis without going much, much further out from Reykjavik. We had an absolutely amazing time here, and we will 100% be coming back.
My only advice to people is that Iceland gets much darker than we from europe or the US are used to, so enjoy seeing many more stars in the night sky.
