    Everything was as expected, except for availability of bathroom amenities. For this price, is it unreasonable to provide shampoo/conditioner? Otherwise was great

    Cute, cozy cottage located in rural Iceland. Beautiful scenery around the cottage including a small waterfall nearby. Would have been excellent spot to view northern lights, unfortunately the weather didn’t work out for us. Would definitely recommend to others!

    The house is amazing and beautiful! Priced right for the location, about 26 mins away from Hella this small house comes with everything you need including a spectacular view and the freshest of air. The surrounding areas are majestic and so are the mountains in the back. You can see a small waterfall and hear the river. Each house has individual parking and it's quiet and clean. One thing missing in the description was the road to access the property which is under construction and if have a low car can destroy it. This was a major issue. If you have a truck or suv high off the ground you are fine, otherwise this is a problem for about 18 minutes straight. The only negative aspect was communication with our host. We pointed out that all towels were very moldy smelling and we got the equivalent response to understood but nothing else. We traveled out of backpacks so we didn't bring our own body towels, so far that has never been an issue. We also brought up how the description in VRBO did not include that a road was not built and renters should beware. The response was also dismissive.

    The full kitchen was delightful. Really enjoyed the full size shower. Unfortunately the northern lights didn’t pay us a visit during our stay but the location views were incredible. Very thankful to stay in such a beautiful place.

    My husband and I are frequent travelers and often use VRBO and have for more than 10 years. This is one of the best properties we have ever stayed at: super clean, comfortable beds/bedding, kitchenette met needs perfectly-we cooked breakfast and two dinners, temperature controls were easy. The views were great and there’s even a small, lovely waterfall near by! Host was outstanding with communication.

    The little house was well equipped and perfect if you could pick it up and put it closer to things to do. We drove from Selfloss to stay over and headed to the Geyser/Gullfloss waterfall in the am.. it was so far away!! Took us over 1.5hrs back tracking towards Selfoss… if I had known the landscape, I would stay in Selfoss instead.. the little house was amazing. The bed was comfortable. Great shower. Little kitchen. Tv n wifi but in the middle of no where!!!

    We have been guests at the Afternoon Cottages twice. We stayed in #4 the first time and #5 the second time. They are mirror images of each other. Everything was clean and the location is perfect for seeing the Aurora as long as the sky is clear. Communication with the property manager was easy and effortless and on our first stay we even extended it by a day. I highly recommend the Afternoon Cottages.

    We absolutely loved the cottage and wished we could have stayed more than one night. We stayed our last night in Iceland in this modern cottage that had everything we needed! The best part was the amazing Norther Light show we were able to see from the porch. Would recommend this place to anyone who loves to stay off the beaten path and enjoy the beauty of Iceland’s natural landscape!!!
