Glaðheimar Cottages | Cottage in Blonduos, Northwestern Region

“Just wanted to experience staying in a cottage in Iceland, so had no high expectations. Good location, good price, nice river views, decent size with two bedrooms, and reasonably clean. It’s an old-style cottage with a well-equipped kitchen. Free WiFi, a private bathroom, and a private hot tub were nice bonuses. Very peaceful and tranquil. The only downside was the check-in instructions. We had to call the host, an elderly man who looks like Santa Claus (so no complaints—he might not be very tech-savvy...). It’s better to head to the reception house and call the host directly to ask for the number of the hut that has been assigned. The “Santa Claus” host’s contact number is posted on the glass entrance door. He will tell you the hut number and arrange for someone to show you how to fill the hot tub with water. As for the WiFi, there’s a white router box on the windowsill. Just scan the QR code on the bottom, and you’ll be connected to the WiFi. No password is needed. All in all, a pleasant stay. The size of the accommodation and the location are fantastic.”

“Very good living environment and living conditions, suitable for business trips”

“Please renovate the property it is very old and dingy. Please provide a hair dryer. I paid the same amount as my stay at foss hotel but the propertybwas horrific. I was not comfortable because it is old, dingy. It is not dirty but change the towels, get rid of the old red couch. Pls update it”

“Great view from cabin. Nice, relaxing area.”

“The hot tub I paid for was “unavailable “ and the cottage was old and not as pictured in the ad The town itself has little to offer, no breakfast and poor restaurants Wished we just carried on to Akuyere Don’t bother with this place ”

“It's near a river and cottages are nice but we ran in to some challenges with check in where our cottage was taken by some other guests so we had to sleep in the main lodge in a room not equipped for party of 5”

“Beautifully situated on a bluff overlooking the Blanda River. Could see and hear it from our # 25 cottage. Large windows bringing the sunshine in. Close to everything in town such as grocery store etc. ”

“No complaints. Easy check in. Easy check out. Clean and friendly service.”

“A unique cottage within a campground. Loved the personal hot tub in the back. We enjoyed exploring all of the nature trails on the river behind us. Didn't love the sulphur smell in the water in our cottage, but could be normal for this area. ”

“Great place to stay. Close to nice hiking trail, gas, & groceries.”
