    the lights in the bathroom didn’t work and there are a lot of switches for the lights in the apartment and we couldn’t find the right switch for the light above the table. I didn’t search for it but my socks fell on the bathroom floor and the corners were very dusty.

    The apartment has a lot of space and it was comfortable.

    Shower head was detached and couldn’t be secured overhead, and floors were slightly dirty.

    Excellent location, nice small kitchen, and the food at the guesthouse across the street was wonderful.

    apartments were not cleaned before our arrival. Many thanks to the hostel neighboring to the apartments for lending us towels and linen, we would not have been able to stay without them and we also have not been able to find anything else at 10PM

    We were refunded our money at the end of the day

    Horrible experience, they really need to work on the cleanliness!!! We arrived in the evening. First it was a little bit hard to find our apartment, because there are several buildings and it was not clear which one is ours (this was the small setback, but noting mayor). After we went in there was a weird smell like, the apartment was not ventilated for a long time. When we entered the bathroom that was the biggest shock (but only the first one). On the floor human hair were everywhere. We also found hairs in the bad and the bed sheets were not ironed - they looked like after use they were only folded "nicely" but not changed at all. After this I requested a new apartment which was a bit better, but still not clean. We had to vacuum up in the middle of the night. The seating are in the living room was partially covered with dog hair (white hair on dark sofa - it was really obvious). If you don't believe me, just check out the pictures I attached. IF, and that is a big if, anybody cleans these apartments before the next person arrives, thank simply they are doing a BAD job. these apartments are meant for 4 people, but in the kitchen there were only partial sets of plates, and there were not enough knifes, forks and spoons... We also had to wash everything BEFORE use. They also expect from you to clean up before you leave, but they do not provide any equipment for that (no vacuum in every apartment- only in some, no mop, no cleaning supplies, etc.) This was the worst experience at any accommodation of my life, mainly because, the price and our expectations based on the description and reviews were at higher level, where at least the cleanliness is expected if nothing else.

    It is a self check-in place, so you can arrive any time you want, and the location is very good since it is in middle of the golden circle. parking is free, but not much parking places. But regarding the apartment itself I have not much positive to say unfortunately.

    TV did not have many channels and no Netflix or casting. Bathroom a little outdated but clean.

    Location in the sticks was lovely, we were able to see the northern lights from outside the apartment. Walking distance 2mins to the Spa. Room was clean and tidy. So quiet. Overall it was ok as a one night stop.

    We spent the night in March (Winter Season) and there were no restaurants close to the property. The Wifi was so bad and we didn't have internet connection at all. TV only had radio frequencies and no channels available. We strongly support recycling and segregating waste but taking the different bags ourselves was a bit of a nuisance.

    The location is very close to Laugarvatn Fontana Spa (3 mins walking distance). The room is very spacious and all the amenities were available. The mudroom to ensure the cleanliness of the apartment. Self check-in was very swift.

    The facilities were extremely dirty! A lot of hair everywhere, on the floor and even in the bed, the dishes were dirty, the shampoos were empty and there was not even a pan in the kitchen.... We are really not picky people, but this was very dirty. Also the wifi was very badly working.

    A lot of space.

    Seems that owners of the place faced some bad guest before, because a room included a lot of notices what is prohibited and what will be the fine for it. Owners are crazy about sorting waste, and you need not only sort it, but also take it with you after living apartment. There is no dishwasher, and they also threat you with fine for not doing the dishes. Kitchen appliances are limited and old.

    We were staying in the apartment 202, building 3. Complex located in the middle of Golden Circle, so convenient location for accessing all main attractions.

    Room needs maintenance, especially bathroom. Overall cleaning not satisfying. Leftover hair from previous guests is a no for me. Neighbors very noisy, building doesn’t seem to be very soundproof.
