What an excellent house. Perfect location as you can see Elephant Rock as you drink your morning coffee. The house is brand new with high end finishes. Also the perfect location for finding pufflings to rescue!

Older house with character, right downtown, so very convenient and charming on the inside. Host was responsive during our stay, even arranging for something requested (last minute, shortly after our arrival) to be delivered to the house! Living room and eating area were well outfitted and welcoming. The house had a large TV (WITH ENGLISH CHANNELS) which was awesome (I think the only place during our Iceland trip)! Blackout curtains were good (no need for eye masks).

Peaceful small town with rich and fascinating history, namely it's fishing industry and near annihilation by a volcano. I recommend hiking over and to the top of the volcano and visiting the volcano museum.

The ferry to get to the island was immaculately clean and ran on time both ways. While a smaller boat for such open seas, the sailing was still good and not too rough! The island itself was picturesque and I wish I could have stayed longer.

Such a beautiful island! The landscape is absolutely unreal.
Such a beautiful island! The landscape is absolutely unreal. Hiking the volcano and then visiting the museum is a must. We saw puffins on the outlook just past the golf course! (ie didn't need to take the bus tour to the southern tip of the island to see them). Vigtin bakery is delicious, as well as Tanginn for dinner. Check out Brothers Brewery for a good drink! Super easy to get around on foot, and the ferry was perfect! A must see in Iceland!

Vestmanneayar is a beautiful, self-contained fishing village...
Vestmanneayar is a beautiful, self-contained fishing village that also caters nicely to tourists. It is located on the island of Heimaey. Getting there is challenging but well worth it. The best way is to rent a car in Reykjavik and drive 2 hours to Landeyjahofn on the south coast. Leave the car there (I found no need for a car on the island) and take the ferry out to the island. Two or three days is sufficient to see everything on Heimaey. Bike rental, e-scooter and hiking are the best ways to get around. I was able to bike the length of the island with several stops in about 2 hours. It's hilly- what do you expect it's a volcano. Great opportunities to view wild life and spend time outside. The views cannot be beat. Food is excellent but (like the rest of Iceland) a bit expensive. The public pool/ hot tubs are a great way to end a physically taxing day.

What a beautiful island!
What a beautiful island! We took the tour with EyjaTours and it was so informative. The island holds so much rich history, and the scenery is gorgeous. We were able to see the puffins, as well as learn about volcanoes.

As soon as we arrived by ferry, we went hiking, then dinner at Gott, then puffin watching. Unfortunately we were not in the right place to see the true puffin colony (keep going up that road!) but we enjoyed what we did get to see.
The kitchen was very nice, free coffee and tea, the stove worked well, the refrigerator was nice. The heated floor in the private bathroom was the best! The location was fantastic, very close to restaurants and grocery stores downtown, free parking. Easy to access the building and room with passcodes. Extra bathroom in the hall was nice. Pokémon GO players in the group appreciated the pokéstop reachable from the room.
Great luxury accommodation in a good location in Vestmannaeyjar. Very beautiful view by the sea. High-quality house and excellent and well selected all furnishings and equipment. Good quality beds and sheets. There is no reception on arrival or departure. You will be sent a key code. You just call if you need other services. Everything was acceptable
This little apartment is adorable! Has a beautiful view of the islands surrounding Heimaey as well :) We received messages from the host that were very welcoming and kind, they were happy to help with anything we could have needed. We only stayed one night, but would have loved to stay longer if we could have!
I booked the hostel with mixed feelings because of the very different reviews. Looking back I need to say that I definitely do not share the bad ones. Instead I would say that the accommodation is a typical good hostel and as long as you do not expect hotel services you will be fine there.
Staying in the barrel house was the most perfect way we could have experienced the Westman Islands! We visited in the summer with 24 hours daylight. We could walk right from the property to amazing cliffs with puffins and sheep! It was so idyllic! There was even a zip line to play on!
The location and views were incredible. Cottage was small, but LITERALLY had everything you could ask for. If you've ever watched "Tiny Houses", this was the ultimate tiny house. Awesome space. The windows over looking the other Westman Islands, the farm its on, highly recommend.
The location was excellent, a short walk from Elephant Rock in one direction and downtown Vestmannaeyjabær in the other. The proprietor went out of his way to make us feel welcome- we enjoyed a nice breakfast before boarding the morning ferry back to the mainland.
Well located hotel with a common kitchen and a small terrace. We stayed in a family room (5 single beds). Of course it is not huge but it was ok for a night. Bathroom was fine. Facilities were clean and welcoming.
The location was not far from the ferry landing. It was right in town so made walking to places very convenient. We were able to check ourselves in so that was perfect for us to check in when we were ready.
friendly host, comfortable room, generous kitchen and sitting room with netflix, close to swimming pool and walk to coast via golf course; less than an hour to walk up Eldfell, stroll into town; thanks Arny!
The accommodation was inexpensive and enabled me to stay in Vestmannaeyjar at short notice. It was well situated in a central location. It was a new and very different experience to stay in a capsule hotel.
I loved everything about our place! The location was perfect -- right next to downtown, dinner at GOTT, and drinks at The Puffin Bar. It was the perfect spot for our first trip to Heimaey, my dream town.
Location for exploring Heimaey town and island excellent. The communication was fine and the check in easy. The apartment was very clean and it was so useful to have washing machine and drier to use.
