This was one of the most anticipated stops along our road trip. We were only able to stay one night due to availability but we would have loved to stay longer. The place was very quiet, peaceful and romantic. The space was mindfully designed and very visually appealing. I can tell the owner out a lot of thought into the interior design. The heated floors + heated towel rack made the place even more cozy. We enjoyed the stars in the jacuzzi but unfortunately didn’t see the northern lights that night (although I’m sure it is a great place to see them when they are out). The only downside was some of the pots were covered in food from previous guests. All of the plates, cups and silverware were spotless though.

Amazing! Wish we had stayed longer.
This stay was amazing, the decor was very chic and had us wandering around complimenting each of the design choices.
Every detail had been thought of - from robes to use in the geothermal hot tub (a great experience even in winter) through to slippers and hot water bottles. The view from the windows was also great and we saw the northern lights during our stay.
We booked this for my partners birthday and although it’s pricey it’s 100% worth it for a special occasion.

Unique location with 360 degree views of the surroundings. Quiet location, clean fully equipped villa with all amenities including a full kitchenette, comfortable and cozy beds. Easiest check in and check out. Host is super responsive and willing to go the extra steps to make guests happy. Would certainly very highly recommend staying at any of these villas when in Lake Myvatn area.

Best property we have stayed at in our entire trip! The place is just so lovely equipped with everything you need! You feel the luxury from when you step in….my kids did not want to leave after our two days here. The views are just beautiful…close to all main attractions and really feels like home away from home..
The owners were the nicest people! Communication was outstanding and they are very considerate and nice people who truly want to make your stay pleasant and enjoyable!

Amazing place and hosts! Highly recommend, not one minor issue!
The place itself had literally everything you can think of - fully stocked kitchen with all the appliances from really nice tableware to nespresso machine, mixer, grill press, grill outside, meat thermometer…literally everything. Heated floors are wonderful and the hot tub with geothermal water was amazing. Very comfy bed. Beautiful views.
The hosts/ owners were just wonderful and easy to communicate. They offered to come dig out cars out of snow whenever, and they did - on Christmas morning! They were also very quick to respond to our messages.
Overall - outstanding experience and absolutely planning to be back.

Top notch, we’ll be back
This is a beautiful cabin well located to enjoy all that the areas of Húsavik and Akureyri have to offer. The units are stylish, modern and well appointed with all the amenities you find at home. The bed is comfortable and the linens high quality. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design of the space to make your stay comfortable and effortless. The hot tub was an unexpected and welcome addition. Soak while taking in the northern lights, or after a long day exploring the area. We’ll definitely be back.

Tastefully decorated and well appointed home in peaceful surroundings. Large windows offer great views of Northern Lights and beautiful countryside. Hot tub just outside back door fills with geothermal spring water- cozy and not too hot. We appreciated the heated floors once we came in from the cold air. Owner lives nearby and was responsive to our emailed questions. Only regret is that we only booked for one night. Highly recommended!

Wow, one of our favorite stays on our 10-day trip around Iceland! Beautifully decorated modern amenities and stunning hillside view. The dining room looks out to the north. With the floor-to-ceiling windows, it would have been a perfect setting to see the northern lights (too bad it was raining the night we stayed). Nonetheless, my family enjoyed the stay. It was perfect to cozy up in this beautiful villa!

Absolutely perfect stay at Svartaborg. We stayed at house 1 with a hot tub and it was incredible. I mistakenly made the booking for 1 and emailed the owner for an extra bathrobe and slippers and they came right away with a whole bath and sheet set. The house is very stylish and we were very lucky to be in the house during a northern lights display. The house has floor to ceiling windows and we could see the lights and stars very clearly. Everything works well and the house is fully stocked with everything you need. Definitely our best stay in Iceland!

Amazing place in northern Iceland
Beautiful design. Well stocked kitchen. Saw the northern lights from here. Great location close to husavik (geosea spa was great) , akureyri ( highly recommend Mulaberg and cafe Berlin here but make sure to use the clock / Parking pass to avoid tickets ), and make myvatn

Beautiful and convenient house on the hill
Love the modern, Scandinavian architecture and decor. Little touches like robes and slippers made it feel pampered like a hotel. Location is convenient to all the sights and activities in the diamond circle. Only thing is there were a bunch of flies when we first entered, presumably from the bathroom window being kept open to air/cool the house. Kept my husband busy killing all of them during our stay.

Great Experience
I have been to well over 50 countries and 200 plus cities and this is probably my favorite non hotel experience. The space is tranquil, quiet, relaxing with a Fantastic View. I loved the shower and the Towels were great. Multiple Fantasy Football Drafts were done on a comfortable couch with good wifi connection. Space was modern with a quails tu kitchen.

We had an incredible stay! Our lodge was immaculately decorated, with a fully equipped kitchen and wonderful views. The most magical part was the hot pot from where we were lucky enough to see the northern lights. Rósa was a perfect host and we’re looking forward to returning in the future :)
