Overall Ratings & Reviews Kerbyggd: Luxury House and Cottage in Golden Circle

We loved everything about this property except for the extensive black mould and layers of scum build-up in both showers on the floors, walls and around the drains. The smell was nauseating and we felt uncomfortable using them. We emailed the host and got a very curt reply that they’d send a cleaner over. When we returned later in the day hoping for clean showers, we were very disappointed. A surface wipe had been done but they looked and smelled just as bad. Perhaps the same person who ‘cleaned’ them in the first place was sent back? We were just surprised at how stunning the place was, and then to have such bad cleaning standards? And also disappointing at the lack of care or interest from the host. Wish the photos could be uploaded here to show just how gross they were. Cleaning elsewhere was ok though and it really was a beautiful little place. It was a well stocked kitchen which we really appreciated.

Excellent location! The place was spotless and the staff was amazing! Great communication!

Had a town 10 mins away with cute bakery and food options . Our stay was comfortable. We got to see northern lights 2 out 3 nights of our stay from the backyard . Good location to golden circle . We woke up early and got to the stops before the bus tours came in and it felt less crowded doing it that way.

This property added so many wonderful little details that just made the stay that much better. As is, the cabin is beautiful with amazing views of the landscape. The owners left a bottle of champagne, a chocolate bar, and a cute stuffy for the kiddos which set this place apart. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Amazing 2bed/bath cottage. Loved that the bathrooms were en suite. Helpful to have laundry machine. Cozy and luxurious.

We stayed in four hotels during our trip to Iceland and this by far was the best! We had a two bedroom, two bathroom house with a hot tub. The house was very new and we had a ton of space. The kitchen was great and both bathrooms were large. The beds were very comfortable. The only drawback to this property is the location. There is a restaurant and mini-mart about 10 minutes away, but Selfoss is about a 20 minute drive.

Love the cottage

What a beautiful cottage in the perfect spot to enjoy the Golden Circle plus some extras - make sure you look at the guest info book for ideas. The place was lovely and had everything we needed to eat in and enjoy being home in the middle of our Iceland trip. The bottle of champagne and the beautiful chocolate were such a welcoming touch. Thank you!

I would live in this place. It had everything we wanted in a vacation rental.

We really enjoyed our stay. We especially enjoyed all the bird life surrounding the property. The home was clean and very well appointed. Made our stay easy and peaceful.

The place was excellent! Fully equipped kitchen, nice bathroom and bedrooms. Nicely located and great place to view the northern lights. Highly recommend!

House set in a beautiful landscape.

The property was exactly as described and was a perfect base for us to explore the southeast of the island. We didn't have a single complaint during our stay and the one question we asked was promptly answered. The icing on the cake was watching the northern lights from the hot tub! We would not hesitate to book again. Thank you for helping make a memorable holiday.

Clean and quiet

Beautiful property! Hot tub was pre warmed for us. Spacious arrangements for 5 of us. Extra towels provided. Would have appreciated a microwave. Had to wash all dishes we used as lots of dishes were just a little dirty. Eco friendly washer/ dryer didn’t dry even a small load of towels after multiple cycles. Would definitely return! We saw the northern lights from right outside our house!

We absolutely loved staying here. The location of the house was perfect for driving the Golden Circle. And we loved sitting in the hot tub looking for Northern Lights and star gazing. Also loved all of the oversized windows and mountain backdrop. Home and beds were warm and comfy! Perfect for our family! We wish we could stayed longer. Thank you so much! God bless!

This place probably deserves a 5 out of 5. It has an amazing location, very nice furnishings, very nice interior everything you’d want. My only knock was that the amenities listed included a hot tub spa as was shown in the pictures. Only 4 of the 6 properties I saw had hot tubs and we got one that did not. Honestly not a huge deal for most though our girls really love hot tubs and we’re looking forward to it so I had to ding 1 star. I would still recommend this place.

Loved this place! Stayed here for one night at tail end of Golden Circle day and it was so nice to end up at a place that was spacious, had all the amenities and was in such an isolated beautiful place albeit with some neighbors in identical houses nearby. Was probably our favorite place to stay of the 6 we stayed in during our week in Iceland! Only ask would have been for the hot tub to be a bit hotter - was somewhat lukewarm and after a chilly day outside in the rain would have liked to have warmed it up a bit but was not able to adjust the controls. We did get a chocolate bar and bottle of champagne which was a great touch! Used the washer/dryer which came in handy. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful property located in the heart of the Golden Circle. Convenient to local sites and attractions

Stunning! We loved the property and the area around it. It as clean, spacious and the host provided us with some little add-ons that make a trip with family easier (like washing powder, coffee, herbs, and even hot chocolate. Thank you
