Akureyri Vacation Packages

To get right to the point, the description of the location of this property is NOWHERE CLOSE to where it actually is. The description claims it's located in the town of Grundarfjordur, a 1-minute walk from the public pool. It is actually located 24 km away, nearer to Stykkishólmur. It's a nice enough property otherwise (we stayed in the red building). I've rated it as "OK" because of this, and because I didn't see the part in the confirmation email stating I had to contact the property to arrange check-in. Had I seen that, perhaps we could have avoided the harrowing experience we had with finding the property at 1:00 a.m. (and we wouldn't have found it, except for an extremely kind couple in Grundarfjordur who took us in and helped us contact the property, and then literally drove us out to it in the middle of the night.) It was unlocked for us when we got there, but the owner didn't stay around to make sure we got in okay. We only met the owner at checkout (and then only by accident), and they told us we had actually stayed in the wrong property, that the one we had booked was across the road. The one we stayed in was the one in the picture in the confirmation email, so this was very confusing. The owner seemed nice enough. I've given him a whole month before leaving a review to see if he would fix the description, but he has not. Therefore, I think it's time that I left this honest review so that others can know to verify the actual location if they decide to book there.

You have to go through a dirt road for about 15 minutes. So be sure that your rental car includes that. Once you get there, it’s stylish and very comfortable, with amazing views. They seemed to be new.

Beautiful countryside location. Very quiet.

The apartment was very centrally located in the Golden Circle and gave us easy access to all the sites that we could explore over 2 days. Spacious, quiet, and we had a beautiful of the lake. The thermal springs are also a short walk away. Our kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. We cooked all our meals there. We bought our groceries in Reykjavik, but the stored near the apartment offered many of the basics. We would stay again here!

Had a wonderful experience here. I can't describe how comfortable the building was. Agata is so sweet, and personally drove me to my covid appointment when I was afraid I wouldn't make it! The refrigerator is always stocked with small things such as meat, cheese, bread, et cetera. Cookies and pretzels are left in the living room on the table, next to a "little library" containing books in different languages. The bed and covers were literally perfect for my sleeping conditions, and they even provide your room with 2 pillow options and 2 blanket options depending on how soft or hard you like your pillow. A comfortable bathrobe comes with your room if you wish to shower (bathrooms come with shampoo and soap, and are stocked daily with clean towels). Hot water is always available. There is even a hottub out back which I did not get to try before leaving, but I plan on hopefully coming back!! There is also a bus stop nearby if you wish to go to Reykjavik 40 minutes away! Reynir also gave me gloves and a hat when I was cold and my room was not yet ready on my first day - all of this an experience I wont forget. Thank you Reynir and Agata for your awesome service
