Reviews of Gaukshof

Loved the quiet location, and being so close to the "golden circle"

Some kitchen appliances, and basic utensils would have been nice. Also, more towels/rags

Cute on the outside, good location for northern lights, and pretty spacious inside.

It seemed a little run down and not as modern as the pictures appeared. Our bathroom was also tiny and the shower drain did not work well. We booked two cabins assuming there would be a microwave in both, but there was only one in one of the cabins. Overall, it was comfortable enough but could use some updates.

Clean and cozy. Very quiet. Centrally located where everything was 1-2hrs away.

I wish curtains actually blocked the sun light.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gaukshof! 🌟 The property is full of charm, with a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. Our room was clean, comfortable, and cozy , perfect for a relaxing night after exploring the area. The location is great, offering both tranquility and easy access to nearby sights. We would happily stay here again and definitely recommend it!

Everything was ok

check-in was very easy

The tap water wasn’t as clean as the rest of Iceland, and left sticky residue on our hands

Location-wise wonderful, easy to reach, nice surroundings. Beds were comfortable, nice that there was a good working fridge available. Nice quiet place. Easy to arrive at time of convenience. Friendly contact with the host.

The shower was a bit clunky (didn't run through well). Available amenities were a bit limited (only 1 fresh towel for 3 nights, 1 roll of toilet paper - good to bring some yourself). Blinds could be better (bring an eye mask).

Peaceful place with a great view. Cozy, warm, private.

There was a hiccup with the check in which was eventually sorted out.

Really nice place

The location is perfect for watching the northern lights. It’s very quiet and close to the Geysir.

Nothing, property is incorrectly advertised on bookings.co with misleading and false information

It’s not as it’s shown on the bookings.com or as it states. The owner has lied about the property. Shocking bookings.com has fallen for the lies and listed the property on their page!

It was an ok cabin. The best part was that one of the extension cords had outlets to charges our phones without Icelandic adapter. It had a big table to have dinner and to use paper maps to plan.

It did not come with toilet paper.

The cabins are the perfect location for many of icelands incredible sights. The cabins are cosy, warm when required and ideal for anyone who needs somewhere to stay on a busy adventure in Iceland. The host is very accommodating and friendly. The facilities are great and it's evident that the host is continuing to make the cabins even better. A perfect location for darkness and capturing the Aurora

There is nothing I didn't like. It was perfect for what I needed,

it was convenient to seeing the falls to the north and in a quiet location. Close to a small gas station.

No real step getting into the cabin.

The room was spacious and we were able to adjust the temperature through opening windows as well as a little heater when it got cool. Shower was great!

There was not much room for toiletries in the bathroom so we moved a few cleaning supplies to make more space.

Clean, warm, new place

Not sure where to take out trash

Nice place for decent price. Pretty big cottage with everything you need for your stay. We enjoyed the stay and we will come back next time during another Iceland trip.

The location is perfect to go and venture into the Highlands. The cabin is very basic but was clean. It was missing bath towels but when my friend called the owner, he brought them.. It is quiet.

It needs a little of TLC. A couple of extra hooks on the wall, a bedside table for the twin room, I used a chair for that purpose.

good location

Private cabin, ‘cheep’, all the important things work.

The step up to the door is an unstable pallet.

Near many good places to be and close to airports for an easy first night stay after arriving in Iceland.

The refrigerator wasn't very cold and didn't have the ability to make ice.
