“Family Iceland Trip”
Beautiful cosy cabin. Perfect location for exploring Iceland and also has plenty of amenities within the town. We didn't use the sauna but enjoyed the hot tub after a long day. Beds were comfy. Sofa bed comfortably fit 2 kids (age 8 and 12). Shower was nice and powerful with shampoo/body wash provided. Coffee machine set us up nicely each day!

Very good cabin. We were a family of 4 and there’s was enough room for all of us, though there are only 3 beds (our daughters are 6 and 9 and they slept in the same bed). Waking up on the morning for a scene full of snow was magical

We enjoyed our stay here tremendously and wished we had more than 2 days in this amazing cottage! Emma and Oskar are the most helpful and friendly hosts! The cottage is build and decorated with so much love, you immediately feel cozy & at home. The garden is a masterpiece and a big plus is the hot tub and beautiful sauna! I also got to make friends with their cute cat ;)

Absolutely fabulous! Great location for exploring southwest Iceland. Peaceful surroundings. The little house is cozy and, in our opinion, comfortable enough even for 2 adults and 3 older children (we don’t spend our days inside anyway). The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is sufficient for preparing basic holiday meals. What we enjoyed the most was the wellness area with the bathtub and sauna. The host responded to all our questions immediately and willingly. Highly recommended.

“Lovely cabin for a relaxing stay for two - perfect for exploring the Golden Circle”
We loved everything about this cabin. We were in the Turquoise cabin. The location was the perfect base for exploring the Golden Circle and the neighbouring Selfoss. It was also convenient to Keflavik Airport as well as Reykjavik. In the town, there are restaurants, cafes, bars, grocery shops and petrol stations if you just want to hang about the village. We walked to the brewery our first night - everything’s within a 10-15 minute walk. There’s also some hiking and thermal springs close by (we didn’t get to dip in the springs because we ran out of daylight). On to the property - it was like being home and living near a friendly neighbour. It felt very private and the cabin was very warm in freezing temperatures. (once we identified the one window that was left on breathe!) There was everything we needed for cooking/eating and the coffee machine was a bonus. There’s no cable TV, but that was perfectly fine - we just cosied up to some Netflix movies at the end of the day (when we weren’t in the sauna or hot tub). The bathroom was spacious and clean and soap, etc. was available, which was unexpected and handy. The bedroom was comfortable for the both of us. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we sleep like babies the entire stay. Our favourite parts of our stay were the sauna and hot tub. We enjoyed a couple of sauna sessions during our stay and spent a few nights in the hot tub. On our last night, we were slightly bummed that we didn’t see the northern lights and around the time we were thinking to get out, they appeared and put on the most beautiful show. We didn’t have our cameras, but it’s a memory that will live with us for a long time. Last, but not least, the hosts were incredible and friendly and available when we needed them. They were also very communicative before and during our stay. We’ve been considering a second trip when the weather improves, and if we’re down that way, we Weill certainly stay in the Backyard Village again.
