My family did an 8-days ring road of Iceland in early April 2026, and this place/villa was, out of all the 7 hotels, hands down best hotel we stayed. My husband who doesn't usually leave reviews asked me to post a review for this place! Everything was spotless clean, modern and well equipped. We could definitely feel the owners' thoughtful touches throughout the villa (wooden chess set, warm blanket, olive oil for cooking, artistic coffee/tea cups, Reykjavik candle company 'hotel-lobby' room scent, cookbook for reference... ) And the hot-tub!! I think I want to re-visit Iceland just to use this place's hot-tub. Everything was so perfect and lovely. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Perfect all round

incredible hotel! we splurged on this hotel and we’re so glad we did. the host was super responsive and nice. definitely recommed

The house is incredible. Every detail is well thought through. The amenities are of high quality. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, which is not usual in Iceland. We loved the hot tub under the bright stars and Aurora. We liked the remote location; still it’s close to Husavik and Akureyri. Perfect location to explore the north of Iceland!

Wunderschönes Haus mit allem, was das Herz begehrt. Tolle Einrichtung, fantastischer Ausblick - super zum Entspannen.

Loved theblocation, solitude, hot tube, etc. It was great!

Alles tiptop in orde, mooie locatie, centraal gelegen, goede keuken met oven en de hot tub maakt de ervaring helemaal af

Super nice place. Everything new and high quality. Everything provided. Excellent view. Best place we stayed in in Iceland.

The views and the privacy were incredible. The host was responsive and helpful. Gave clear instructions on getting there. Created amazing memories staying at the Svartaborg cabins.

Alles war perfekt, es gab sogar Wärmflaschen. Und genügend Kapseln für die Nespressomaschine.

Superb in all ways! Remote, beautiful, owners are wonderful!

An amazing relaxing stay at Svartaborg. I love the location with the option to relax, or have a drive with so many things to see only a short drive away. We’ll be back. The houses themselves are stunning, and a dip in the hot tub tops off this amazing property/location.

Beautiful, modern micro-house, with lots of space. Excellent heating in the cold weather. Amazing views from huge windows. Great kitchen for cooking, which you will need, as there are no restaurants close by.

This was the best place we stayed at in all of Iceland.

Dies war die dritte Unterkunft von sechs Übernachtungen, sind gerade bei der vierten, und bisher die Schönste. Svataborg beeindruckte mich mit seinen großen Fenstern und seinem weiten Blick in die Ferne, ebenso mit seiner stilvollen Einrichtung. Makellos perfekt wäre alles, wenn die Holzmöbel ein bisschen Auffrischung bekommen würden und die Fenster einen Schutz, damit die Fliegen nicht ins Haus kommen. Dies ist nämlich die absolute Todesfalle für die armen Geschöpfe denn ohne Hilfe finden sie nicht mehr heraus und gehen leider zugrunde. Ich bin ein Liebhaber jeden Tieres und somit auch den Fliegen zugeneigt. Der Hot Pot ist ebenfalls so fantastisch wie das große bequeme Bett. Die Küche ist hervorragend ausgestattet und zur musikalischen Unterhaltung steht eine kleine Musikbox bereit. Ich kann diese Unterkunft einfach nur empfehlen und die Nachbarn kriegt man nur am Rand mit.

Very nice place, we stayed for 2 nights.

Super lækkert hus med fantastiske panorama-vinduer. Smuk udsigt.

This was one of the most anticipated stops along our road trip. We were only able to stay one night due to availability but we would have loved to stay longer. The place was very quiet, peaceful and romantic. The space was mindfully designed and very visually appealing. I can tell the owner out a lot of thought into the interior design. The heated floors + heated towel rack made the place even more cozy. We enjoyed the stars in the jacuzzi but unfortunately didn’t see the northern lights that night (although I’m sure it is a great place to see them when they are out). The only downside was some of the pots were covered in food from previous guests. All of the plates, cups and silverware were spotless though.

This stay was amazing, the decor was very chic and had us wandering around complimenting each of the design choices. Every detail had been thought of - from robes to use in the geothermal hot tub (a great experience even in winter) through to slippers and hot water bottles. The view from the windows was also great and we saw the northern lights during our stay. We booked this for my partners birthday and although it’s pricey it’s 100% worth it for a special occasion.

Wunderbares Ferienhaus mit gelungenem Innendesign und sehr guter Ausstattung. Ideal zum entspannen, Polarlichter beobachten und von dort aus die Umgebung zu erkunden.
