"A cost and beautifully situated cottage. We were comfortable and the self catering facilities were very good. Our hosts were very welcoming and looked after us very well. It was a good base for exploring the west of Iceland."

"Very nice and peaceful place about 15 minutes outside Borgarnes. Beautiful scenery, and very peaceful. Only one other apartment, about 50m away, so no noise from neighbours. Very nice deck around the chalet, with fantastic views. Very well appointed, with everything that one may need in the kitchen. Good heating. Very well situated for day visits to Sneafellness peninsula and Husavik area. Road to Borgarnes is quiet and quick, with a number of restaurants in the town. Everything was very clean, and no issues with check-in, or communication with the host."
"Nothing."
"The fact that it was isolated but kind of close to Borgarnes"
"Nothing :)"
"Super comfortable bed, the little extras such as plenty of hooks in bathroom, shoehorn, useful items in kitchen, warm plus able to control heat level (we like the bedroom cool and many places are too hot but we could get all the rooms just right.) Good directions. Good WiFi. Loved not having a TV! Beautiful views ! Quick responses to questions. Handy for getting to and around the peninsula. Bonus supermarket was an easy drive."
"An information pack would save the host having to answer frequently asked questions."
"Very clean and tidy. Not too far from the city, but in the middle of nature. Nice views from the house"
"The sink in the bathroom was a bit tiny."
"Wonderfully secluded cottage in the middle of the countryside. Well situated for trips to Snaefellsnes. Very friendly and nice hosts living on with their farm next door. Possibility to book a guided horse ride with one of their icelandic horses, which was a magical experience! The cottage was well equipped, clean and absolutely cozy. We really enjoyed our stay here and can fully recommend!"
"Aucun."

Karen Dream Guesthouse
"We recently stayed at Eystri-Solheimar for 3 nights. The host Einar and his staff were extremely helpful, attentive, the room was very clean and spaceious, very quiet. The breakfast/coffee was nice. We would stay there again next time if we go. Btw, he can speak Chinese! We wish that we could have seen the northern lights, but that's not Einar's fault, he then sent me some spectacular pictures from his phone as a compensation. :)"
"Space enough for 3 luggage, shared kitchen is good to use and the goose and sheep and dogs and cats are just lovely and the sunrise and sunset view are definitely the highlight of this 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."

"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."
