There was a long line at check-in so we had to wait about 10 minutes and then drive to our room which was only a few minutes away. The Wi-Fi wasn’t working when we first got there, but they sent someone over to check it out and the problem was fixed within the hour. We were able to see the northern lights from the front yard and we really enjoyed the big front porch. There were also waterfalls right in our backyard.

We had a great experience staying at the Old Cottages. The location is absolutely amazing, with a beautiful waterfall right out back that made the setting feel peaceful and unique. The layout of the cottage was well thought out and comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time there. Everything we needed was provided, and the surroundings were perfect for unwinding. We truly enjoyed our stay and only wish we had more time to spend there. We would definitely love to come back in the future.

We loved our stay in the luxury cottage. It was bright and clean and perfect for our family of 3. The location is great for doing things in the south such as Diamond Beach/Jökulsárlón Lagoon, Múlagljúfur Canyon, and Svartifoss. We would recommend the luxury cottage.

The room unfortunately had bed bugs. It was our first night in Iceland and thankfully we were only 1 night at the property. In addition 1 of 2 heaters in the living room was not working and so it was colder than it needed to be. Communication with the host was poor - we reached out a number of times on the bed bug issue but got no response. Am just glad that the stay was only one night and didn’t ruin the rest of our vacation

Pleasant stay in Cottages

We overnighted in the old cottages and was very comfortable and nice. The cottage was spacious yet cozy. Very clean, nicely furnished, and had 2 bathrooms! The only suggestion would be to add a curtain to the bathroom windows for privacy. Wonderful waterfalls in the back.

The cottage was clean, nicely updated, and very comfortable. The staff at the location of check in were not friendly; and even though they touted laundry as an available amenity, it was clear they disnt want to honornthat. We ended up washing clothes in the sinks at the cottage.

This cottage was amazing! Cute, clean, comfortable, quiet. It was everything we could have wanted and all that we needed for a family of 4 (two teens). It was no problem to check-in at Gerdi's nearby. It is a little hard to find, so you may either need some patience in the dark or want to arrive while it's light. It's worth it though! Bonus: the waterfall is lit up at night, so during the short days of winter, it can be enjoyed. You can hear and see the waterfall when outside but not inside, so it does not disturb sleep. Highly recommend this place!

Beautiful location with waterfalls right behind. Easy to access and park. Check in took a bit of time as had to go to another property and received the code which could have come via email or message instead but was close by anyways. Property was very nice. Person at check-in was friendly and helpful. Spacious cabin with plenty of room for our family of 5. Nice beds, nice bathrooms and kitchen was great.

Awesome stay with 2 beautiful waterfalls behind

The cottage was awesome! 2 beautiful waterfalls behind, the cottage had almost all amenities except dishwasher and laundry. We had a great stay and would love to stay again! The only thing i would request is to add a dishwasher if you can
