This was a great place to stay in a cool location. We were on a sheep farm in a nice big older house. The bedrooms and living spaces were huge and the place was very comfortable. The hosts went out of their way to let us borrow some dvds and was super kind in welcoming us to their property. If you are looking at doing the ring road and want a nice countryside place to stay this is the perfect spot!

Fantastic place to stay. Well located if you plan to be visiting in Western Iceland. The farm is very peaceful and the space is very large, big bedrooms and living areas. Great panoramic views and away from city lights if you are trying to see the auroras (even though we didn't have good weather during our stay so we were unable to see). Accommodating host, clean well stocked home. Would recommend.

Comfy home, amazing view, amazing farm and friendly host :)

Easily one of the best places to stay in Iceland. Beautiful location with an amazing view. Loved walking around and seeing all the sheep/lambs!! I recommend this to anybody looking for an awesome place to stay.

Snaedis and her husband are so lovely! The home was fantastic and such beautiful scenery. There were two couples and we had more than enough room. We loved it!

We had an amazing stay in the appartment and were overwhelmed by the view including the horses. Furthermore the appartment is clean, spacious and the communication with Snædís was easy. Would definitly recommend it.

The Hestur farm was a fantastic way to end our time in Iceland. The hosts were very friendly and even allowed us to visit the sheep barn with them, which thrilled our kids and my farm-raised husband. The apartment was perfect for our family with four small kids. It seemed like there were a lot of interesting things to see and do from this area, too, but we did not have the time to explore. And the view? WOW! Every window had a spectacular view. And if the conditions are right, this place would be perfect for watching the aurora borealis from the comfort of the apartment. Unfortunately for us, though, even with clear skies, the aurora just wasn't active. I highly recommend this place.

Very cozy and nice house. Magnificent view.

Great and beautiful, lovely cottage outside Reykjavik. Quiet and great view here.

It was the best stay in that cottage for all 7 of us in Iceland. Everything was great from the beggining, when the owner was communicating with us before we came, he helped us to get there, even it was a little bit remoted in the hill. The road was all paved and only last 800 m was gravel, but not a big problem. First he said the yakuzzi does not work but day before we came he told us a good news that he fixed it and we enjoyed the hot water and the bubbles at midnight (outside it was 0 degrees Celsius). Andres made the best he could to make our stay unforgetable and I think he also arranged the weather at the second night and after 5 days of raining we had clear sky and finally saw the Northern lights (green and also pink color). The best thing ever in our lifes! There were only a few cottages aroud, and we also had good darkness. Everytning you need to watch the Aurora Borealis. And in the morning we had some snow behind the cottage. In summer you will love it, buy some beer, meat and enjoy the veranda with grill, yakuzzi, chairs and great views. All I suggest to you - respect that cottage and stay there like you stay at your home:) If you like being in the nature, this is one of the best oportunities to take.

It was a pleasure to stay in this lovely cottage. The owners are very nice and very helpful. I would recommend this cottage to everyone.

Andres place was quiet and serene get to have a relaxing night in. We only booked an hour or two before we were ready to check in. Andre kindly accepted and came out to the property to let us through the gate. Which was all a bit confusing. The location does not come up on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps, our sat nav and the coordinates took us somewhere different too. So maybe need to clarify the location a little better. There were were games to play and the kitchen sufficient. Because of the late notice unfortunately the hot tub wasn't available as it needed more time to warm up. All in all was great fir for our one night stay.

This was a great place to stay if you're traveling through Iceland! Close to the glacier if you are going on a tour. Hot tub was an amazing private oasis after a long day. Rooms were very clean and had a great shower! There is a restaurant right next door too.

Place was great. Town very quiet and hot tub was nice to soak in. Nice and clean and beds were comfortable. The village was cute and lots of greenhouses/hot springs

We had a great time at the apartment. It's a beautiful area with a lot to offer. The apartment was perfect for our family and was in a nice quiet neighborhood. We explored the peninsula which is beautiful with the glacier, abundant waterfalls, small towns, and mountains. We also went inland to some really beautiful geothermal springs and more mountains. Fantastic stay.

What a wonderful flat. This apartment is well appointed. Beautiful view out the back windows and from small deck. Close great restaurants, grocery store, wine store, and gas stations. I was able to drive out of town 20 minutes and see the Aurora Borealis. WOW!

Overall, everything was perfect. Nice quiet area. It is perfect with the car very well and erreihbar for 2-4 people.

Dögg seems to us a very friendly Lady. We were with three people and have a nice stay in the attractive apartment by Dögg. Dögg always responded directly to questions and gave clear instructions. The view from the apartment was wonderful.  It is located in a quiet area of Borgarnes. The apartment complex is equipped with an elevator. The kitchen, bathroom and living room were complete and the beds in both bedrooms are great!  We recommend the apartment.

Clean and nice apartment. Dögg was a great host, offering to pick us up from the bus and was always fast to respond to any questions. Borgarnes is a really beautiful place.

This appartment is great. It's modern and has a nice interior. The kitchen is well equiped and the beds are great. It's the top level of a appartment complex with a great view. The appartment is also very quiet. Dögg answers instantly on any question! We would recommend this place.

It's brand new apartment,nice view All facilities well down!clean,comfortable,even kitchen also !i love this house!

Great view from balcony over the bay. Comfortable space for our stay.

price and quality, recommend

We were very pleased with our stay at Nikita and Neila's place. It was perfect for what we needed after a long day of sightseeing. We got there pretty late, much later than what we had anticipated and Neila was extremely accommodating with our very late check in. She was even there to show us in and had enough provisions to last us since most stores close a bit early in the town. The place was charming with a great view at a very reasonable rate. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at Nikita's. The apartment is spacious, clean, and comes equipped with everything you need. Close to a grocery store and other amenities, and comes with a great vue. An amazing deal, Nikita was very friendly and helpful, strongly recommend.

I can not believe that we found this place. The price was unbelievable and the views from our bedroom window were breathtaking. She brought us food both days and there was everything we could want in the kitchen. She was also very good at replying quickly to us and was flexible with the late booking and a change in check in times. Not sure the heat was turned on when we got there but we figured it out. Overall, an unbelievable experience.

Nikita & Neila are super friendly and welcoming! Their adorable little apartment can hold a family of four easily and is situated with an incredible view! It's very close to the main strip in Borgarnes--shops, grocery store, etc. the apartment itself has everything you need to decompress after a long day exploring the peninsula--full kitchen too! Highly recommended!

I can't say enough great things about Loa's house in Borgarnes. Let's start with the how child-friendly it is. On this trip, we were 3 adults and 3 children (ages 2, 5, and 6). The house had lots of space for the kids to play in, especially on the rug in the family room, and the home was stocked with all types of toys and games (legos, playmobile toys, pick-up sticks, twister). We were stuck at home for most of one of the days because of very high winds, and the kids had a fantastic time playing and relaxing. One of the four bedrooms has bunk beds, which was a big hit with my oldest two kids. During that stormy and windy day, we did leave the house to go to the nearby pool, which was so much fun for us and the kids. The pool facility has an indoor geothermally-heated pool. There, we found floaties for the children who could not swim yet and fun water toys like balls and a truck that floats. Outside, there are 3 different hot tubs (different temperatures), a big swimming pool, a toddler splash pool, and two water slides (which were not running because it was winter and treacherous winds). The slides are something we will have to try in the summer. Even without the slides, the kids loved swimming in the indoor pool and soaking in the hot tubs outside. The kitchen was very well-stocked. On our way into Borgarnes, we stopped at one of the grocery stores for food to cook, and when we arrived at Loa's house, we found so many helpful things in the kitchen, so we could cook so much more than we intended with spices, condiments, and kitchen appliances. One morning we made waffles with the waffle-maker and maple syrup we found at the house. Another morning, we topped our oatmeal with cinnamon-sugar we found with the spices. It all made the trip so easy for us! I will close with the location. Loa's house has beautiful views of the mountains and ocean from the large windows in the family room, and the house is very close to the settlement center (interesting exhibit about the Vikings settling Iceland in ~900 AD and an excellent restaurant). Thanks, Loa, for opening your home to us on our vacation!

Absolutely loved staying here! Great location with an awesome view of the sunsets over the ocean. Would definitely go back :)

The Oceanside house is very large and nice. We enjoyed 2 day stay here. Wish to come back during summer time to enjoy the great view.

It was very easy to communicate with Loa. The house was very beautiful, spacious and clean. She had prepared a cartable with activities to do in the west which was very useful to our travel. Our stay was very enjoyable!

Loa's house is very cozy and beautiful. The view when you wake up in the morning is very energising. The house is big, well furnished and well heated. It was a delight for us to stay there. It has some supermarkets close (2-3 minutes drive) and a some restaurants.

This home has a gorgeous view that can be seen from many of its large windows. A very light, pretty and well laid out home with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The town has a great swimming pool and is a good base for exploring the area. Highly recommended!

The place was wonderful! Just a few minutes from town and the host was very helpful and accommodating, and let us arrive early to take a nap after our long flight in. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Þórir was a very kind and welcoming host! The apartment was very clean and had a great layout. My brother and I had two comfortable, peaceful nights of sleep. The town of Borgarnes is an ideal location to explore all that West Iceland has to offer. I would definitely recommend staying here at Þórir's Airbnb.

This was one of the most outstanding aribnb homes we've been in (and we've been in many around the world). Porir was extremely quick to respond and concerned for our well being. The apartment is very spacious, very clean and charming. We highly recommend it to everyone.

Nice apartament, everything was like expected, and Helga was nice.

Thorir was accommodating in letting us check in slightly early. He made some excellent recommendations for the area. The unit was spotless and roomy.

Especially appreciate the time spent discussing the hot springs heating and restaurant recommendations. The house is well furnished and comfortable. We'd stay again.

Excellent home by taking the time to offer us tours and answering our questions Clean and spacious

Easy to find. Clean, comfortable, good kitchen.

A nice and sunny place with lots of spaces. Jay responded to any questions I had very quickly. The apartment is close to restaurants, and groceries as well as to art galleries and a short hiking trail. great for families.

Lovely spacious apartment, very clean and nice and close to the small beach and the excellent Englendingavik restaurant

This place is in a great location. Right in the historic centre or Borgarnes and across the road from an awesome restaurant. The apartment is massive with heaps of space! And Jay was helpful answering all of our questions. We really enjoyed our stay.

Very quick in contact, the host was helpful. Appartement very nice, in the center

Very nice apartment, much bigger than expected. We didn't realize it had two bed rooms. Very close to the water and the Settlement Centre but very little traffic. Lots of off street parking. Everything is very new and clean, washer worked great and really strong Wifi. They provided towels, soap and the kitchen had all the basics. Jay and Bertha (we didn't meet) were very quick with messages and had very easy to follow notes to get into the apartment. We would recommend staying here and definitely come back. Bonus! We asked Jay for a some ideas for near by hikes and he provided us with some great links to the area. We did them all!

everything was included! free coffee and all! amazing experience.

Nice and very spacious. Much bigger than we expected! Very light because of the big windows and the white walls. Nicely located, close to the sea.

jay is particularly good landlord, respond quickly and very detailed, and very intimate, but also help us to close the delayed luggage. House particularly large, comfortable, very comfortable! recommend! !

My wife and I were planning on staying here for one evening on our honeymoon. After we saw the place my wife insisted that we stay for 2 nights! The whole place was great. Very clean, very well taken care of. The hosts were more than accommodating and very friendly. The location was a bit difficult to find, as the address took us to another location down the road a bit, but we searched for the resturaunt on the property and found it that way. The only thing I would change is the shower. Water seems to leak out the bottom and into the rest of the bathroom floor. There is a hand squeegee that was obviously there to help clean up afterwards, but I would have been happier if that weren't an issue.

What a magical stay we had at this cabin. We cooked a nice meal and then watched the northern lights while sitting in a hot tub! It was cozy and even better than expected.

Really simple and sweet cottage. We decided to stay in the loft space which was nice. Great porch with the hot tub and beautiful scenery.

This place was one of the best we stayed in. Nice location and awesome hot tub. Very clean as well. Be aware, the house is difficult to find and there are no signs on route 518 indicating where it is. Ask host for better directions ahead of your visit.

Great little cabin surrounded by various points of interest. I only stayed one night but which I could have stayed longer! The cabin itself is very cute, and the Hot tub was great! Its out in the middle of nowhere so it feels nice and private!

Cute little cabin near a river and lots of farmland!

A small but comfortable place, way out in the country. We had a little trouble with the hot tub as have some past guests but otherwise this was a cozy, quiet place.

The hot tub never got hot.. Was still cold in the water. Tried to get it hot for about 3 hours. Had to take a cold shower as well. Otherwise, great location to watch the northern lights. Loved the little cabin!

Great place, exactly as advertised: rustic, secluded, wonderful. Solid communication from a non-English speaker. Hotpot was perfect! Had a great night listening to the swans roosting on the river and waiting for the northern lights.

The location is perfect - just a few minutes off the A1, but still very secluded on a working farm overlooking the coast. Amazing views in all directions. The house was large and clean. Updated bathroom with a separate bath and shower. A comfortable kitchen/breakfast room and separate family room with large TV and some English language DVDs for the kids (who had watched no TV in 2 weeks). Hosts very friendly and provided a freshly baked loaf of bread for our arrival and helped us with a question at 11pm before bedtime. Would have loved to have spent a few more days in this area but holiday had come to an end...

This place is fantastic!! It was very spacious, close to Borgarnes, and the surrounding views of their farm were amazing. When we arrived they greeted us with a gigantic loaf of homemade bread! Amazing! They have three adorable dogs too that made it even better. If we ever are back in Iceland, we'd definitely come back here :)

We loved staying in Francois and Fjóla's guest house! From the attention to detail and comfortable vibe within the guest house to the warm and responsive nature of each e-mail, you can really tell they love hosting others. When we arrived, Francois came outdoors to greet us and offer tips for sightseeing around the farm, including tips on how to summon a majestic eagle that lived on the grounds! He also baked us a loaf of bread in case we were hungry from our travels - a nice touch. Staying on their working farm was a cool experience that I recommend(URL HIDDEN)

Our experience at Francois' farm was incredible! Exactly what AirBnB is all about. We stayed a few nights in Reykjavik so this was a much different experience. Francois and Fjola were amazing hosts. They showed us around the property, taught us history of the area, and showed us how things work on the farm. They even let us watch a lamb birth - which had some issues so we had to bring the lamb to a doctor and perform a C-section (very interesting to see!). Fjola made us fresh bread too! The apartment was enormous and can easily accommodate 8-10 people. Was great being around all the animals and the 3 dogs on the property are super friendly and playful.

Francois was a perfect example of a superhost. He was very flexible and accommodating when showing us around his vast property, including sheep (we got to feed the baby lambs!), horses, a lake, a river, and 3 energetic and lovable border collie dogs. Francois was very friendly and we really enjoyed chatting with him about his life and Iceland. It was quite nice of him and his daughter to take time out of the day to give us a tour of their land. The farmhouse has a beautiful, serene location and was nicely stocked, complete with freshly baked bread awaiting our arrival. Highly recommend staying here with Francois!

Francois and his family were gracious hosts. Everything was described perfectly on the site. We arrived later in the evening for a short stay but he still welcomed us and gave us some good information. The farm was beautiful and the guesthouse was large enough for 6 of us traveling. The next morning we were treated to some history on Icelandic horses and were even able to ride them. This was the perfect stop on the west side of Iceland that allowed us to really take in a more local feel. Affordable, too. We thank Francois and his family!

This is a wonderful place! We spent three days here at the end of a whirlwind Iceland trip. Francios and his family were great hosts. We were greeted with freshly baked bread. Our boys played with their boys each night in the HUGE yard. The dogs are lovely and friendly. Francois showed us around the barn and the property our first night, from the very pregnant sheep, to the grass fed cows and the many, many horses. This is a true working farm and staying here was a really cool experience for our family. Our kids said this was the best place they have ever stayed. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for something a bit different than the usual hotel or rental house. The setting is also spectacular, right on the ocean with huge mountains in the background. The apartment itself is really nice. It is very vintage Scandinavian in style, but has all the modern amenities you will need. It was very clean and they were very responsive to our questions and were generally really nice hosts.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was nice to be out in the country and the directions they provided were easy to follow and very clear. The warm bread upon our arrival was a delightful treat. Once I wrapped my head around all the flies that go with being on a farm, everything was terrific! Spacious accommodations and and well appointed kitchen that met our every need. The beds were very comfortable and we particularly appreciated the use of a washer and dryer.

Very nice location next to the sea. Host was very helpful with directions for side trip. Also provided makings for breakfast. Very clean and comfortable.

That was a very nice stay for the last night before our departure. The house was clean and tidy. The view was fantastic and the horses raised by the host were just lovely and adorable. Ragnheidur was very kind that she prepared what we need for breakfast. We would absolutely come back for another stay when we visit Iceland again.

She is a really nice host, we feel like home. Thank you for the breakfast and everything. But for coming travelers, the kitchen is relative simple and there is no oven. The water pressure is a little bit low.

Dedicated floor in a nice house, in front of the see. You feel comfortable, and like at home!

The house is clean and spacious, with everything you need to prepare breakfast. Ragnheidur thank you for your warm welcome!

This is the lower level of a house on a working farm. The location is spectacular, right on the north shore of the fjord. You'll be greeted by the host's very friendly dog, and will have an opportunity to meet the farm's horses. Highly recommended!

It was a great time for staying Ragnheidur's house. She was very friendly, and thoughtful for her guest. The house was lovely, neat, clean, and everything in the house shows how she is considerate for her guests. I love to stay next time!

Kuludalsa is a wonderful place managed by considerate host Ragnheidur. She was there to welcome us when we arrived and helped us with our questions. She has a beautiful house with wonderful views.

We have just had a brilliant 3 nights at this accommodation and loved it. Set in the countryside we were able to set out exploring easily and loved waking up to the incredible fjord and mountains immediately visible. The internet was a little patchy but not a huge problem.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is quite large and comfortable, the sheep are plentiful (we were there in early June so the baby lambs were everywhere and adorable), the horses are beautiful and patient with amateur riders, and the hosts are lovely people - very friendly and helpful. The farm is situated in a beautiful location; we wish we'd had more time to explore the local area. You can also make day trips to the Golden Circle area and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula (if you go, skip the tunnel and drive around the fjord, Hvalfjörður; it's longer but quite beautiful and well worth the time; even if you don't go to Snaefellsnes you should make some time to explore Hvalfjörður). Note that the location is not available in all GPS devices so make sure you get good directions. Margret was very helpful in this regard, and there are signs so it is quite easy to find from a main road.

A wonderfully cozy and large for 2 people Ferienwohung with everything you need. We have felt very comfortable and the location is perfect: away and quiet in nature, in the fantastic fjord, yet close enough to the city.

Great place, great location, fantastically friendly host. Really ideal spot- actually is only 30 min. drive into Reykjavík, and yet is isolated and remote enough to feel like you're deep in the back country. Apartment was clean, warm and cozy, and the kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. Some nice hikes in the area, and took a couple of day trips to see some other sights during our five day stay. Hope to stay here again someday whenever we make it back to Iceland :)

The house is huge! Too huge for 2, at least. The house has everything, tho in winter time, we felt the heater could've been a bit warmer but I guess it's just us. I love that the house is far away from city (30 mins drive), gets very dark when driving back at night, but it's great to see all the stars when it's that dark. All in all we love the place ;)

It was an absolutely marvelous stay. The farm is only 30 minutes from Rejkyavik by car, easy to find. Only ten minutes drive from highway 1. It's located in unbelievably beautiful fjord. Both mountains and ocean can be seen from the windows. The area is perfect for morning walk. The house is equipped with all the necessary for comfort stay things. It's very spacious, cozy and clean. There is a great collection of minerals in the garden which makes you feel like a curious child. As a bonus we got a northern light almost every night shining in the bedroom window

Big, very clean and bright apartment in a quiet farm at the beginning of a nice fiord, kind hosts, only 20 minutes by car from Reykjavik's suburb (supermarket, pools...), perfect location for daily excursions in golden circle and south-west. We are very happy of our staying there (... and we also saw northern lights just going outside the door!)

We were 4 People in this House and we had a wonderfull Time in Kidafell. The apartment is really cool with a big living room, comfortable Beds, a well equiped kitchen, two big showers with always Hot water and a view to the Fjord ( if the weather is good). We also liked the Area and the nature around a lot. Kidafell is a good Place for walking, seeing horses, enjoying the nature or to visit glymur. And if you are missing the city, Reykjavik is just about 30 min. with the car. Its the perfect Place to stay. We would totally recommend this House to everybody and we would love to come back in Summer.
