  : This is a lovely little house on a farm with lots of friendly animals (we were greeted by a cat and two dogs, and the back deck overlooks a horse paddock with lots of lovely Icelandic horses and their babies!). The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay - kitchen is better appointed than what is standard for an AirBnB, there was working laundry - including a dryer which can be hard to come by in Europe. And it has a hot tub on the back deck which is a great way to end the day after lots of hiking and walking. The owner was super responsive so it was easy to get questions answered. The location was perfect for our itinerary (used it as a jumping off point for golden circle). Pro tip: use Apple Maps to locate it; Google Maps had us a few streets over in the middle of a field :)
  : We didnt initially see the room darkening shades behind the curtains, and even once we did, they could have been darker. We were there for essentially 24 hours of light so this would have been helpful.

  : This is a lovely little cottage with 3 small bedrooms, 2 queen and one with bunkbeds. Beautiful terrace overlooking the fields, you can watch the icelandic horses grazing. The large hot tub was perfect in the evening! Comfortable beds. 2 bathrooms, one is quite roomy, good showers. Kitchen was fine and quite well equipped (although we didn't cook).
  : It was a little tricky to find - the google maps pin was a bit off and the highway exit has been recently changed, so it was not clear at first. Go on to the exit AFTER where google maps shows. Then follow the directions on google maps and again do not turn where it says -- look for the horse farm, drive into their driveway and then further on follow the sign for Stryta. There are 3 guesthouses, this is the 2nd one. Not much space to unpack or hang up clothes - only in the kids room.

  : The owner of the property was close by if there were any problems, in our case none.The property was very good value.The main road (no 1) to Selfoss was nearby , but not too close as to be a problem.The host, Krissa, was most helpful. There were items already there that were needed eg dish washer tablets.The kitchen appliances were first class and the property was exceptionally well heated.I would stay there again without doubt.
  : The bedding in the two double bedrooms were of very good quality.The bedding in the bedroom with bunk beds was of a lesser quality.

  : Peaceful location after the biz of Reykjavk but close to Selfoss for anything needed. Excellent communication from host. Easy access to the main roads for getting out and about. Hot tub was appreciated after long days out sightseeing.
  : No teapot or larger mugs. The new roads made it a little tricky to find as our GPS wasnt picking them up. Nothing to do with the property really but worth mentioning.
