“Perfect spot to stay!”
Location was great, with a view across the water to Reykjavík. Property was perfect for our needs and had all the amenities we needed. We managed to see northern lights directly outside the room which was special!

I stayed here my with my partner over her birthday. It was surprise for her and we stayed a few days in this location. We loved this guest house so much, it was quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature and not too far away from Reykjavik by car. On our first night we could see the northern lights and had an amazing view on Reykjavik at night. The house was super cozy and warm, we felt right at home every time when we came from a day full of sightseeing in the cold. We would definitely come again!

The location was perfect, about 15 mins from Reykjavík but other shops were much closer. The apartment was absolutely stunning and had a wonderful view. Very quiet and all the amenities you need such as a kitchenette with all utensils, washing machine, smart tv for Netflix etc. loved it!

The apartment has an excellent location near Reykjavík, but in a quiet place with free parking. Everything you need is here, there are even binoculars for bird watching. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is large enough.

“Outstanding 2nd stay at Eyvindarholt!”
This is our second visit to Eyvindarholt and it was exceptional! Everything as we remember though this time we had the larger apartment which was furnished to an extremely high standard. The breakfast in particular was perfect and exemplary service from host Aslaug, able to accommodate a slightly early check in for us. Location is perfect. We will be sure to return again!

“Would definitely stay here again!”
First of all I love Scandinavian interior design and we stayed in the studio apartment and the view of the sea was incredible and the accommodate is situated in an ideal spot as not far from airport or from Reykjavík. The owner also went the extra mile by delivering breakfast and we were able to change the breakfast the next morning too, nothing was too much for her.

“Wonderful homely feel”
Spacious well equipped, clean and comfortable accommodation. White bed linen and well equipped kitchenette ideal for cooking a few meals at home. And even had a washing machine which we did t need as had just arrived but would have been ideal st our next place. Breakfast for hubby was exceptional, more than enough for one person and had a varied & creative flare from Aslaugh. A very lovely lady who took time to be chatty in the mornings if you wanted. Well located only 15min drive from Reykjavik yet out in the countryside next to the geese and snipe. Was lovely watching them at 1am in the summer dim crossing the road with all their gooslings onto the safety of the loch.
