08 September 2011 Nitzan would recommend this property

Liked: We stayed in a cottage. It was very comfortable for the 4 of us.

Disliked: The two bedrooms are side by side and the wall is paper thin. Also, there was barely enough hot water for one shower so it was difficult to time multiple showers in a row.

03 July 2010 David would recommend this property

Liked: it's really close to eyjafjallllla..... whatever. you have to be really careful on the route, you will see only a smaratun table. internet is 500 isk for the whole stay, but works only in the hotel, not in the guesthouse. a family is living on the groundfloor of the guesthouse, they can be a little bit noisy. wifi in the guesthouse is their own, you cannot have access to it.

Liked: We stayed at Westfarm and it was incredible! it is definitely value for money. We had a hotpot by the house, which we of course used. You could see the glacier from the house. It is located in the middle of nowhere which is great for relax, but still it can be reached easily. Will come back definitely!

Naomi Holmes

13 August 2009 Naomi would recommend this property

Liked: Nice location with great views. Nice Icelandic horses on site. Hotel facilities (dinner and breakfast) available to chalet guests. Chalet cooking facilities v limited - only a kettle in the chalet. Though a small guest kitchen is available nearby. Great for a one or two night stay in a very scenic part of Iceland. Might be a bit too cosy for longer.
