Wow!! Such an amazing place to stay. It was only about 10/15 minutes drive outside of Selfoss. The area is very quiet and cute and the hotel is right up against the beach. The room itself was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. We slept great because it was so quiet and dark. We were able to see the Northern Lights right outside our room! It was easy to speak to someone in the reception desk and we were overall very impressed. 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic stay! The location was perfect -- near a beach/bay, in a sweet village, close to a picturesque town with a grocery store and food (but far enough away for northern lights viewing), near a few horse stables, near the Golden Circle, and great for a day-trip to Vik! The bed was super comfy, and the owners were SO NICE! Great value. Would stay there again in a heartbeat! :)

Wonderful two bedroom apartment with fully furnished kitchen. Just steps away from the water. Johann and his staff were friendly and incredibly accommodating. Johann called us to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay and even called to give us notice that the northern lights were visible outside! The village of Eyrarbakki was within a two hour drive of everything we wanted to visit on our trip to the south coast and I as far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city that we could unwind and enjoy the sights. We will definitely be returning to Iceland in the future and Bakki Apartments will be our base camp again for sure.

Lovely hostel, and a great place to stay! It has a big beautiful kitchen, and sitting area, lots of showers and bathrooms stalls too. Lovely clean room, and it had a small table, storage, and a sink. The front desk staff took a moment to tell me the history of the building, and showed me some photos which was really awesome. It was a great place to stay.

Property was clean, but the water in the washroom and in the kitchen did not smell good - probably the sulfur smell which we did not get at other properties we stayed at. Better to stay in Selfoss as all facilities, grocery, coffee shops are in Selfoss.

Very good for the price.

We did not have a vue, it's like a backyard, but honestly we don't care. The studio is clean, functional and the price convenient. Small village, ocean near by. The reception by Anna was friendly and professional. That's all i can say anout this motel. So if you're looking for a base to explore the golden circle and not fussy, this place is for you and who knows may be you'll get the one's with ocean view 🙂

Fantastic Family Stay

Was a great stay with great service and a beautiful location with all the necessities you need! The bathroom is a little dated but other than that it was perfect. My family loved it and we found it so spacious. We only stayed one night but could have easily stayed longer if it fit our schedule.
