This apartment was a lovely one block from Reykjavik’s main street. Finding it took a few turns, as GPS can be a bit off. Plus, it’s on a one-way street, so if you miss it, you’ll have to loop around. There’s parking, but it can be a bit cramped, especially if you have a larger vehicle like we did. A smaller car would work just fine. The apartment had quite a few stairs, which is okay if you’re staying for a few nights. However, carrying big, heavy suitcases up the stairs for just one night can be a bit of a hassle. There’s plenty of room for the six of us. I definitely recommend it for a longer stay in Reykjavik, but it might not be the best choice for a quick visit.

We had an amazing time staying here! The farmhouse was perfect for all six of us. The restaurant served some of the best food we’ve ever tasted in Iceland. The kids absolutely loved the little playground with the bouncy inflatable. And the thermo spa was a real treat. The farmhouse had everything we needed for a long stay, and we wish we could have stayed longer.

We all felt right at home here! The rooms are designed with singles and couples in mind, much like a hostel, but it was perfect for our short stay. We had our own space in the building, which was just what we needed. Plus, there was a playground for the kids and horses to see right on the property. The place was spotless and well-kept. They do offer a small breakfast, but it’s enough to keep you going until lunch. If you need groceries or restaurants, you’re about a 15-20 minute drive from the main town.

This place is so stylish and modern—very nice! It has a great little bar to unwind. If you’re traveling with a larger group, it’s a good idea to book the same type of rooms so they can be put next to each other. The whole property is broken up into a few different buildings. Some only having 4 rooms. We had a standard room and one with a bit more flair, but they were in different buildings. With kids needing to split up, that was a bit of a challenge. However, the hotel staff were incredibly helpful and found the best solution for us. I’d definitely choose to stay here again.

This was a decent experience. It’s a larger boat, which means more people crowding the rails to grab a glimpse, but that’s okay, used to those types of tours. However, because it’s bigger, the boat can’t get too close to the shore to see the puffins. You really need binoculars to get a good look. They are very small. Little white dots on the shore line. The boat does provide binoculars, but there is a limited supply. Unless you’re a serious bird watcher and enthusiast, I’d probably pass on this tour. It's Iceland, so many other things to see. The boat was clean, and the crew members were friendly and knowledgeable.

Lovely in every facet!

Elegant , professional and very customer service oriented . The Tides provides an excellent breakfast and their dinner was superb !!

A great place to spend two nights. Loved the hot tub, sauna, playground and sheep. Room was very clean!

Good location and plenty of space. A little loud, but that is because you are so close to everything!

A good place to spend the night. We had a private apartment, which god us out of some of the craziness. It seemed like a very busy hotel with lots of people coming and going. It was a good spot for one night after a long day.

An absolutely wonderful place to stay! The kitchen was so well stocked and the house was so clean. You were literally on the harbor. We loved our night here!

Our two bedroom in my room was very clean and right in the middle of town. The heated bathroom floors were an added plus.

This was a fun introduction into what a lava cave was. Our tour guide was wonderful and we learned a lot. Definitely worth going to see.

This was one of our favorite activities we did throughout the week! The tour guide was so fun and the driver played the best music. Being able to get on the water around the islands was perfect. The suits that they gave you kept us extra warm and dry. I would 100% recommend doing this.

We really enjoyed this experience. It was neat to be able to see a glacier from the inside. I will say that it was more physically challenging than I expected, but I would recommend this to anyone.

Riding in a boat in a lagoon surrounded by icebergs that just came off a glacier is a once in a lifetime experience. We also were able to see Harbour seals that were incredible. I know that I will never do anything like this again and I am so happy that my family had this experience. It was truly incredible!

This was a very fun one hour activity before we had dinner and Vik. Our host was so knowledgeable and we learned a lot about volcanoes and what happens before and after an eruption.

This was the perfect way to end our trip. We loved walking around the town and trying all the authentic foods. Our guide was funny and informative.
