Yes on both counts, we wanted to give our accolades to whoever laid out the building site and the interiors, as the buildings were pointed in the right direction so that the rear window provided an excellent view of the northern lites without having to go outside. Also; we enjoyed going into town to use the geo-thermal hot tub and sauna, very nice. All in all, we had a very good stay.

My stay at Istay Cottage was unplanned after my flight was canceled, but it turned out to be a wonderful surprise. The cottage was cozy, clean, and very comfortable — exactly what I needed after a long travel day. The best part was the incredible view of the Northern Lights right from the property — an unforgettable experience I hadn’t expected to have! The host was kind and accommodating, making a stressful situation much easier. I’m so glad I ended up here and would happily stay again under any circumstance.

The onsite were not filled and it wasn’t convenient to access the kitchen as you had to walk all the way around to the front and needed to always use your key.

Common area was clean, and extremely well equipped. The cabin was small, but comfortable. One suggestion would be something that holds the blinds from moving when they're drawn so they don't clank on the wall when the window is open. Otherwise, a great stay close to the airport, good first/last night location!

Nice cabin with great amenities nearby. The bathroom was very modern and spacious. The cabin was very clean and it was easy to access it. It is located in a quiet environment, but near Keflavik and the airport. It was nice to see horses in the field just beside it!
