The cottage was a perfect spot to stay just outside Vik. We spent 2 days on the South Coast and although we had a very short visit, the cottage was comfortable, clean and quiet.

We got into our cabin with ease with the door code provided. Our cabin was hot inside so we tried to open doors and windows to learn that only one window would open. All of the other windows had had their handles removed to open and/or were screwed shut from the outside. We later found that this may be because our windows would leak during the rain. So I would not leave anything on the floor that would absorb water, our belongings were soaked by morning. We had requested 2 twin beds but this was not honored, which totally happens. The room was very clean. We would have loved to have a curtain on the front door window as one of the beds was visible through this. The outlets are on the floor in the kitchen so be prepared if you are not mobile. The shower did switch between hot and cold frequently and was startling. The drain was also very slow so you had to watch to make sure the base of the shower wasn't getting too full. By far our biggest complaint was that there was a turndown service without us knowing. Typically, when staying at locations like this the host does not come in daily. Especially when we were only staying for 2 nights. This would have just been nice to know before leaving some of our belongings here. The area was beautiful and gave us the chance to catch a little bit of the northern lights. Cell phone service was not great and there is no wifi so just be prepared! I would stay here again despite the few negatives!

The cottage is located in a very quiet and peaceful area among other cottages, which we appreciated. Check-in was generally easy, and the instructions with the entry code were sent in advance. However, there was some miscommunication during arrival. I arrived around 3:30 PM (check-in was at 4:00 PM) and spoke with someone at the main house, which seems to function like a reception. (Or at least I thought bc it had signs and said ‘Reception’. I asked if I could check in early or drop off my bags and he said if I had the email with the code, then I could. Perhaps this was the miscommunication and he may have thought I was asking how to get in? Moments later, a teenager from another house on the property came out and rather aggressively told us that the cottage wasn’t ready and we couldn’t enter, so we left immediately and returned later that evening after dinner. That night, we encountered an issue with the shower: the water temperature fluctuated dramatically from scalding hot to cold within seconds. My husband was even burned on the shoulder by the hot water. I contacted the host right away, but unfortunately, I never received a response — even a week later. I even sent a message to advise that the bathroom hand soap bottle was empty and no response either. There were also multiple flies trapped inside the cottage when we arrived too. Overall, the location is quiet and has potential, but the communication, cleanliness, and maintenance left a lot to be desired.

The landlady or other manager did NOT appreciate me calling for check in instructions as per their first email. They eventually do email you a cottage and a door code. The cottage I had (#105) does have a hot plate, toaster, plates, cups -- but the outlets are all on the floor. The shower is very hit and miss - pulses cold, then warm. It is easy to accidentally scald yourself. Oh, we also ran out of toilet paper as well. You do overlook a pretty hillside, though.

Electrical outlets on floor?!?!?

Te cottage has been updated and is okay for one night. The electrical outlets are on the floor making it pretty difficult to make coffee or use the toaster. I had to put things on the floor and then put them up on the counter. Not sure if I would stay again or not.

A nice place close to two waterfalls

It is a clean and comfortable place with a kitchen which is very convenient. The view is nice too. There was enough hot water for all of us (4 in all) to have showers. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Clean and in an amazing position, but that's where thd positives end. When you pay a high price for something you expect quality in return. I could overlook the issues at half the price charged, but..... Faulty (and dangerously unpredictable) shower, bathroom door that doesn’t shut, no accessible sockets to plug the kitchen electricals into - there's more, but you get the picture. No obvious way to communicate with anyone to fix the problems either. Disappointing and not to be recommended.

We loved our stay. The cabin had a kitchenette with hot plate, toaster, microwave, plates, cups, utinsels for 4, it was perfect for us. Hot water in the shower comes and goes but part of the experience I guess. We hiked up the mountainside right behind our cabin and enjoyed an amazing view. We hiked up to the very close Seljavallalaug swimming pool which was also cool. Loved our stay. I don't see why they won't allow check-in times later than 9pm. We were aware of that deadline and arrived at 8:30pm so it was fine, but it's just a normal key in a lockbox by the door, which means someone is removing that key manually at 9pm if you haven't checked in... just be aware of that.

Cabin was relatively newly built - very basic but practical. Servicable kitchen, beds were comfortable, heat worked,etc. Only complaint was the shower - it would run fine (bordering on scalding) for a while, then the hot water would abruptly cut out. Happened once every 1-2 minutes. There was no answer on the phone line we received from Expedia.

The views around the property were grand. It is an amazing property nestled at the base of some mountains. The best thing is the view of the mountain in the morning. Only two concerns; we came very late after hours and it was hard to get the access code by messaging and calling; and there was a used makeup sponge left in the bathroom.

Fire and ice cabin

When we got there the cabin was excessively hot to the point we had to open every door and window in the middle of a rainstorm. We discovered we had no knob on the heat to adjust it and it was unbearably hot. After multiple frustrating conversations with “maintenance” we convinced them to turn off the heat completely at which point it became bearable. The next morning the shower was either ice cold or hot as lava. No in between. The location was great. If the heat and water had any in between it would have been a great cabin. Overall pretty frustrating and not worth the cost.
