Great property with plenty of space for the 4 of us! Amazing views from the living room, fully stocked kitchen, laundry on site. Bit of a bumpy access road to get to the house but if you have a 4X4 should be no problem!

Great Location
Highly Recommended!!! Wife, two kids, and I travelled to Iceland to see the natural land and this home certainly met our needs. We couldn’t have been happier with the location. In addition, the place was very clean and full of all the appliances we needed to have a few family meals. We loved the Hot Tub and was lucky to see the Northern Lights.

Amazing views
The views from this house are breathtaking! We stayed here for a few nights and used it to explore the Golden Circle and even all the way down to Vik. Reference the online instructions that the host provides, because some of the printed out house information (like hot tub usage) in the house is outdated. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this to families and to others wanting to stay in the area!

Beautiful stay with a one flaw
The large house situated in a prime location, offering seclusion and a fantastic view. The jacuzzi was wonderful, the rooms were very spacious, and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed for cooking. However, the cleanliness was disappointing. The kitchen was quite dirty, including the oven, microwave, and fridge, and the washing machine and dryer still had private laundry in them. Despite this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Iceland is definitely worth a visit!

Wonderful stay at Solfaxi
Our family of six adults very much enjoyed our stay at Solfaxi. The location was perfect for Iceland exploration and the house was very comfortable after long days out and about. The house was lacking nothing and the hot tub with amazing views made it extra special. Highly recommend.

Beautiful building in remote but centrally located spot. Dark enough to catch the Aurora on one clear night. Recommended for those who want to be close to the back country and the natural landscape, but within reasonable distance to necessities.

Amazing location, home, and experience with the owner!
This property is as great as it looks on the site! Wonderful countryside location near many of the Golden Circle sites and Secret Lagoon. Well-equipped, perfectly maintained, and offers 180* views over the valley from the living room, outdoor deck, and the hot tub. The owner provided helpful, detailed information before our rental and was almost instantly responsive to queries while we were there. If you want to do more than take bus tours from Reykjavik, I can't recommend this place enough!

An incredible bass for a family stay in the heart of the golden circle.
Glorious property, both spacious but also comfortable and flexible. Very family oriented and welcoming environment that we all instantly relaxed into the stay. A wonderful outlook, in lots of space, and being able to see Geysir through the telescope was a lovely surprise, and the hot tub was a great place to enjoy the surrounding nature, and even when the weather was cold, the tub was lovely and warm.

Great house in a nice central location!
The house is really nice and well laid out. Comfortable beds, nice hottub, though the jets didn't work. The views are really great and you can just enjoy a beverage looking out the windows taking it all in. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home with amazing views
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this home and would highly recommend it. It was spacious, clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful with questions we had prior to arrival. The highlight of our trip was being able to watch the northern lights on the deck. The home also has a spectacular panoramic view during the day. The location was great for day trips to spots along the southern coast and around the Golden Circle.

Family Trip
Thank you for such a lovely stay! Our memories from this trip include day trips to see Geysir and Gullfloss, and a drive to the Westman Islands. Make sure you try the ice cream at the lovely Efstidalur farm. We ended each day with the stunning views from the hot tub! Solfaxi was so comfortable and had everything we needed - and cooking in the kitchen was a real pleasure. We would love to return one day!

I traveled with my wife, 3 daughters (14, 10 and 10), my mother in law, and her sister. This house was so incredible. The views, comfort and proximity to so many great sites. I highly recommend it. The host was so quick to respond on any questions. Thanks for such a lovely few days.

Simple and beautiful
This is a beautiful property. The house itself is built at the edge of a steep hill, which offers a stunning view of the surrounding Iceland mountains. We were very comfortable, with the heated floors providing us with great warmth. Again, the location of this secluded cabin cannot be understated. Our group of 7 adults and two children under 2 easily fit well in the seperate bedrooms, with the hosts being very generous and accommodating, especially with kids. The hot tub was a welcome supplement to the already generous package. We couldn’t be happier with our stay.

Ideal
Our second trip to Iceland. This time we had our 3 young boys as well as my wife's parents. Home had more than ample room for all. Sunsets were amazing and boys really enjoyed the hot tub. Location is close to golden circle attractions and also within range of the south coast. Nicely secluded on a ridge, very tranquil. This is a cozy home and not just a house!

Walking into this home brought us feelings of comfort and joy. Not only is the the inside of this home spectacular, but it was hard to take your eyes off the views. We spent three joyful nights here during a family reunion trip. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Elegant comfort.
This house is stunning. The architecture is beautiful and very functional. What a kitchen! There is a geothermal hot tub. My family loved it. The best feature is how the house maximizes the location and view. Three sides of the house are glass and if we could have seen the northern lights(sadly overcast) it would have been a spectacular place to enjoy them. Thank you for having us we felt so blessed and wish your family all the best.

Absolutely Amazing Property
Stayed with my family…my wife and I, along with our 3 children and my mother. Hot tub was a huge bonus. The house was very well stocked, clean, and incredibly well designed. Have I mentioned the Northern Lights? We got them almost every night! We lucked into clear skies in mid-March, but the unobstructed views from both outside and inside were absolutely breathtaking.

The other reviews say it all. This was the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in: so comfortable and great launchpad for some amazing activities in the Golden Circle. And we can’t thank Hildur and Agni enough for their very quick and helpful responses to our many questions. We will be dreaming about Solfaxi for years to come!

Amazing place that made a lifetime trip EPIC!!
First off, the communication with the property managers was PHENOMENAL!!! Most questions were answered within minutes - amazing job! Our trip to Iceland was due to a friend getting married in this wonderful country. This home was HUGE and very easy to get to with a rental car. The views were awesome and we had 3 nights of northern lights viewable from the deck of the house!! It is within 1-2 hours of Reykjavik and Vik, so most of the southern waterfalls, craters, glaciers, and cities were vwry accessible!! The house was comfortable, clean, and the kitchen well stocked with equipment, utensils, and spices! 1000% recommend this amazing country and this stay!!!
