Guest reviews for Basement hideaway
"Fully equipped with the necessity. Feel like home."
"The location to the property is not clear. The google map gps will not bring you directly to the property. Hence The host should prepare a sketch map and upload it to booking.com for the guest as reference."
"We had a great and comfortable experience!! Very convenient for our stay— super comfy bed, nice living room area, convenient mini kitchenette (microwave, kettle, fridge, coffee maker and tea supplies). The location was very quiet and easy to get around."
"It would be have been nice to have a toaster or toaster oven available to use in the kitchenette."
"The room was very comfortable, with detailed information provided about the various facilities of the house as well as the surrounding area, including supermarkets, gas stations, and more. The room also offered a small welcome gift, which felt very thoughtful. If I come again in the future, I would definitely consider staying here again."

"Very nice stay that had everything we needed in the apartment/basement. Host was quick to reply to all messages."

"A great, large, peaceful basement with all the amenities you could hope for! The host had really thought about the comfort of the guests and provided among other things a TV with HDMI cable (we connected our laptop to watch a series we had downloaded prior to the trip), capsule coffee maker etc. This accomodation would serve well as a homebase for a larger vacation in the area, althought we stayed only one night."
"Nothing to complain!"
"This was our favourite place in Iceland. It was cute, quirky, full of little surprises and luxury unexpecteds like the wonderful herbal tea selection, quality amenities, layout was great, everything we needed was carefully thought out. THe compendium was extensive with all the information we could possibly need. Yes,it's not exactly central but there are three free bus services in the area which our host set out in the information folder. In fact we wished we had more time in Akureyri as there was no much potentially to do, but we only had the one day and I was not well. Bed was very comfortable as was the whole adorable little unit."
"Wouldn't change a thing."
"- comfy bed - basic equipment for meal preparation - enough space to stay during bad weather inside - could be used for several day stays"

"Very cozy and bigger than expected. Everything what we needed."
"Aucun."
"Everything perfectly organized. Good location, although a bit far from the center. This is more of an advantage. Very clean, everything perfectly described. Being the first time in the city, Basement Hideaway is like a treasure trove of information. Really, the owner probably couldn't do more for the comfort of the overnight guests. Thank you very much!"

"El lugar está muy bien, cómodo y bastante amplio para un sótano. Para nosotros por una noche estuvo perfecto y la zona es muy tranquila, pero creo para estadías más larga se complica el no contar con cocina completa. Igualmente tiene horno eléctrico, microondas . heladera y cafetera. Muy atento nos dejaron un souvenir de Islandia y unos chocolates para el café!!. ¡El lugar es muy bello rodeado de unas hermosas montañas! gracias!!!!!!!!"
"Me sentí mal teniendo que dejar las cosas sucias de vajilla"

Karen Dream Guesthouse
"The pod was actually delightful with air conditioning and charging ports along with a tv. It also had storage lockers for me so I can have as much space as possible. The hostess was genuine and kind. She helped me out through the entire process and even recommended several spots to visit. It was smooth and comfortable."
"Adorable little apartment right in the heart of town. Well equipped and easy to find, with plenty of street parking. Host was very helpful and friendly."

"The location was perfect - just a short walk from the ferry. The bedroom and common room were clean and comfortable. The small kitchen with supplies was a bonus!"
