The accommodation is spacious and comfortable with everything you need for self catering holidays. Any questions that I had were quickly answered both before check in and during the stay.

Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing and Restorative Place Brekka lodge is a perfect place to stay if you're looking for some rest and relaxation. The lodges in this area all have quite a bit of space and privacy to them. The area it is in is a beautiful place, with convenient proximity to various places to explore in Iceland. Experienced hikers can go to Glymur waterfall at the eastern end of Hvalfjordur. Nearby Hvammvik springs on the south side of the bay gives you a place to swim in the ocean, and then warm up in a thermal pool. Reykjavik is less than an hour away by car, and to the north and west, you have the beautiful Snaefellsnes and other historic places, such as Reykholt. The geothermal tub was very relaxing, and I believe it helped me correct a skin condition on my hand (dermatitis / eczema); after the trip my hand has never looked this good in over 6 years. I would definitely come back to Iceland and stay at another Nordic Lodge in the future! ##### Pamela B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan O. Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Brekka at Christmas Our family stayed at Brekka for the holiday season. The host’s directions were spot on and we found the house no trouble at night,in the snow, and never having been to Iceland before. The house was warm and clean on arrival & fully stocked with all utensils and cooking pots and pans, etc we needed for our stay. The three bedrooms and upstairs loft all got used as sleeping quarters; everyone was comfortable and the blankets sheets and pillows were all clean and inviting for a good night’s sleep. We drove offsite most of the time to either go visiting or hiking (Glymur is nearby as is Hvammsvik hot springs - both worthy trips), but each afternoon we were happy to come back and prepare dinner and relax in the hot tub. The hot tub is amazing (once you get the hang of operating it!). I did drain it once by accident, but then figured it out easily and we were back in business. We loved our stay - particularly getting a surprise Christmas tree from our host - and decorating it with a box of Christmas decorations that were at the house. Jon - the host - was always accessible and answered our every question promptly and with obvious pride for the house. His attentiveness and kindness made our stay just that much more enjoyable because he made us confident in where we were staying, notwithstanding some fairly heavy Icelandic winter weather. Highly recommended, clean, neat, enjoyable, wonderful views and a wonderful host. Jon O’Brien, Boston, USA ##### Jonathan O. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa S.

Communication with host was excellent. A bit off the beaten path but very quiet. Great for a family stay ##### Jeffery D. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peppe N.

Very pleased, the property is nicer than the listing leads you to believe.I did feel that the hot tub would have been better placed up on the balcony (especially for when it snows) giving better views from tub and less risk of slipping at night. ##### Peppe N.

It is certainly out in the countryside, but it was nice and quiet. 20 mins to a grocery store and the kitchen was equipped enough for our breakfasts we made at home before heading out for the day. Very clean, and the hot tub was great. No issues whatsoever. ##### Kevin C. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorri G.
