Guest reviews for Gaukshof
"Loved the quiet location, and being so close to the "golden circle""
"Some kitchen appliances, and basic utensils would have been nice. Also, more towels/rags"
"Clean and cozy. Very quiet. Centrally located where everything was 1-2hrs away."
"I wish curtains actually blocked the sun light."
"Location-wise wonderful, easy to reach, nice surroundings. Beds were comfortable, nice that there was a good working fridge available. Nice quiet place. Easy to arrive at time of convenience. Friendly contact with the host."
"The shower was a bit clunky (didn't run through well). Available amenities were a bit limited (only 1 fresh towel for 3 nights, 1 roll of toilet paper - good to bring some yourself). Blinds could be better (bring an eye mask)."
"Peaceful place with a great view. Cozy, warm, private."
"There was a hiccup with the check in which was eventually sorted out."
"The cabins are the perfect location for many of icelands incredible sights. The cabins are cosy, warm when required and ideal for anyone who needs somewhere to stay on a busy adventure in Iceland. The host is very accommodating and friendly. The facilities are great and it's evident that the host is continuing to make the cabins even better. A perfect location for darkness and capturing the Aurora"
"There is nothing I didn't like. It was perfect for what I needed,"
"it was convenient to seeing the falls to the north and in a quiet location. Close to a small gas station."
"No real step getting into the cabin."
"The location is perfect to go and venture into the Highlands. The cabin is very basic but was clean. It was missing bath towels but when my friend called the owner, he brought them.. It is quiet."
"It needs a little of TLC. A couple of extra hooks on the wall, a bedside table for the twin room, I used a chair for that purpose."
"Near many good places to be and close to airports for an easy first night stay after arriving in Iceland."
"The refrigerator wasn't very cold and didn't have the ability to make ice."
"We liked the fact that we had comfort and everything we needed inside the house, the room was very warm , and location is suitable for watching Aurora; its very private and quiet"
"It was dirty, bathroom especially; the bed was prepared but the sheets were old and not ironed; also we stayed 5 nights and got only 2 towels which were very old and gray. The bathroom had someone else’s old used shampoos inside and lots of hair in the shower tub, also we found someone else’s food in the fridge."
"Everything was great. The owner was helpful, the location was amazing."
"Aucun."

Karen Dream Guesthouse
"The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed plus some extra perks like coffee and cookies. The location was extremely beautiful being located near the bottom of a mountain and conveniently located near Vik."
Karli Skammidalur cottages
"The best apartment I visited this year. Everything is brand new, extremely well thought out, and beautifully executed. The design is outstanding, the space is generous, and everything is very comfortable and practical. Located in a great area. I have absolutely no complaints — for the first time, I’m giving a 10 out of 10."

"We moved to the apartment instead of the caravan, so the review is for that instead. The apartment was great. In fact, the entire town is wonderful, and a stay here is magical. What made it extra special is Thomas. He takes fabulous care of his guests, he is fun and friendly, and is one of the best hosts we've ever had. He gave us tips for the island and a level of assistance like I've never seen before. We met his wife only briefly, but she was lovely as well. If you're looking for somewhere to stay on the island, look no further!"
