We loved our stay at the Bragdavellir Cottages. We had dinner at the Bragdavellir Barn Restaurant. The food and the service were excellent. The view from the cottage was spectacular. The late checkout was very helpful as we slept in after a tiring day. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Iceland.

I was honestly expecting an extremely rustic little cottage and this definitely wasn’t luxury but it was much prettier and more pleasant than I expected. The grounds are lovely, the horses are nice and easy hikes not in walking distance from the cabin. Cabin has a functional small kitchen with stove and even had cooking oil. Only hand soap available in bathroom but that comes with the territory, not even the nicest places we stayed in Iceland would qualify as luxury by US standards. Restaurant was good too. Recommend for anyone going to this area of the country.

This is not what we expected. It was freezing. So so cold - the walls are super thin. There were no extra linens/blankets. The doors do not close (I’m guessing due to temp fluctuations) including the BATHROOM so that wasn’t great. My daughter was sick so the extra cold wasn’t great. I think there are two different types of cabins and we got the ones that should only be occupied in summer. The on-site restaurant is closed all winter and the nearest town also shuts everything early - so plan accordingly. There was no one to talk to about the cold etc so basically I think this place might be no-frills quaint and somewhat charming in summer. For us, it was a miserable stay.

Excellent Location! Really beautiful. There is a waterfall at the back of property and is really nice. We really enjoyed the barn where the food was. Had a chance to meet and hang out with owner and very entertaining stay. Would stay there again. No reception but don't need it in a beautiful place like this in middle of nowhere.

Like sleeping on a box of springs on each bed. The fridge was turned off when we arrived so we couldn’t keep our food cold for hours. The heat wasn’t working and we were cold all night. Mild growing on the edges of the cabins. Lovely view and easy access, however improvements need to be made to keep charging this price.

We stayed in cabin 5, Gustur this past April and found multiple bed bugs in our room. Fortunately the staff gave us a refund, but the build of the cottage is not as nice as we expected. You can see the bare ground and dirt underneath openings in the wooden floor. As well as many of the wall linings were peeled off, revealing the inside of the build, which looked like a perfect place for insects and other critters to get warm during winter. Beautiful surroundings.

A good cottage to stay in the middle of nowhere. The cottage is clean and comfortable. Quite roomy for our family of 4. And the living room is kind of nice; private kitchen and bath is another good things. We arrived in a rainy days. This cottage gave us the comfort feeling and restful night.

We got in late around 2215. I received only one email with a little info on check in. Front door of cabin was unlocked and heat was on, which was perfect seeing how it was cold and snowing. Only gripe would be the bed! Extremely uncomfortable. Other than that we left early and really didn’t tour the grounds. If beds were improved I’d definitely return.

The location is outstanding with easy access to waterfalls, spectacular looking falls. We stayed in one day due to heavy rain and cold winds, but the views from the windows & porch were still amazing. Well built and insulated cottage. We were warm and dry, and the wind and rain were not loud, so the roof was well designed & insulated despite being metal on top. All amenities required, though kitchen pots & pans are old. Communicated with staff via email and replies were almost immediate. Ana, Stefan & Olena were great hosts who answered all my questions about the area.
