    Hot water was run out during shower. It took 2 hours to have another round of hot water. Room is extremely small.

    Quiet place with nice view.

    Not a big criticism but we felt the pictures were a bit misleading. They made out that each unit had its own unobstructed view of the mountains, in a remote setting. However the units mostly look over each other (tho still private). However the upside of this is the units are very close to all the best cafes and restaurants in the town.

    Beautiful self contained “tiny” houses in great location, in the heart of town. Restaurant is a short walk across the road and has a stunning view. We had a beautiful high quality dinner.

    It was very cold throughout the night and the lack of hot water made it hard to warm up.

    The property is in a beautiful location. The mountain behind it is stunning and the short walk to the sea is incredible.

    Not a lot of hot water - take short showers. The even number buildings you must park on the side of the area, then walk across lumpy unmowed grass to your cabin (no walkways). We were lucky it wasn't wet. Odd number cabins have a parking area in front of each. The door lock/slide system was confusing to us old Americans. Our 2nd day a house keeper kindly showed us how to operate. Big couch, but no table/desk.

    Great large bed. Nice bathroom. Location.

    The cottages have a musty smell that was bit overpowering. I would still stay here but hope they can be dried/aired out a bit.

    The cottages were perfect for our 1 night stay. Communication was clear re: check in and out, the location is great and the cottages provided everything we needed from a comfy bed, clean shower and coffee/tea with a kettle.

    Please take care of the birds around, they are agressive, it s a bit of a challenge to enter the room cause they are flying around and super close to people, also don t dream about spending time outside on the small terrace

    I liked the concept, the design, the fact that it was clean and had what I needed. Also a big plus is that you can arrive whenever

    However, there were only two glasses, two cups, and two disposable spoons – no plates, cutlery, or additional dishes. So, if you're planning to prepare your own breakfast, be aware that you’ll need to bring your own utensils.

    The cottage was clean, nicely designed, and looked great both inside and out. It came with a fridge, microwave, kettle, and free instant coffee and tea – perfect for a light snack or warm drink. The location is stunning – quiet, scenic, and a perfect base for exploring the area. Overall, a peaceful and pleasant stay in a beautiful setting.

    It would have been helpful to have a couple of plates or bowls & basic cutlery in the room, given that there is a fridge, microwave & kettle. There were just 3 small mugs & one glass.

    Great location in Arnarstapi, a short walk from the cliffs & sea. Comfortable rooms & great view. Perfect base for visiting the nearby national park.

    Easy self check-in. Small but comfortable rooms. Very clean. Warm water is (as communicated) restricted as it is heated by a boiler system. However: while the little houses look beautiful on pictures, they don’t quite do the impression justice. The big windows and view open out to the road and walkway between the separate huts, so people walk by the bedroom frequently. If you value privacy, you will be prompted to close the curtains as soon as it gets darker. We were lucky to have one of the last houses in the row, so we did not have another house right in front of us. Most of the other huts are not as lucky. There is no view of the mountain from inside the rooms. Also, be aware while there is a small refrigerator, a water kettle and a microwave, there is no silverware or dishes provided. The whole setup is very simple. However, the location in Arnastapi is beautiful. There are several gorgeous sights to see in the area. So if you are looking for a place to sleep for day activities, this place is nice. We just imagined it a little differently than it actually was.

    Gorgeous location. Great place. It’s my second time there. The staff from the restaurant are very nice. The cleaning staff too. I just happen to forget something and they told me I would be contacted back but they never did. Arnastapi is a great place to be. It’s an important place for me as I have family stories there. I totally recommend sleeping here and visit the neighbouring landscapes.

    Absolutely breathtaking location! The view from the cottage of the Atlantic Ocean, mountains, and just a few distant houses was incredible. I’d stay here again, even if it meant sleeping on the floor. The cottage itself looks very cozy from the outside. Inside, it’s a bit basic, but everything was clean and comfortable.
