We stayed in 5 properties on our 8 day stay, this was the most expensive per night and the most disappointing. I want to make clear that it was immaculate and very comfortable. It's in a great position for the beach and 'town'. The disappointment came from the fact that it's called Vik Cottages and it's just a small hotel room. You look at the picture of the cottage and think that you're getting the whole cottage but you are just in half of it, it was basically a carbon copy of the hotel room we stayed in the day before but smaller. We were only staying one night and didn't need to unpack much, but if you were to stay a few days with a friend, it would be a tight squeeze. The soundproofing between the other half of the cottage is not good, you can hear talking going on and the you can definitely hear all of the showering next door etc. If your neighbours were noisy it would be problematic.

Misleading marketing and name. Soundproofing with shared neighbours.

The location is excellent, the staff is very helpful. I greatly appreciated that the cottages had wifi. Parking is free and a few steps from the entrance of the cottages. Overall, a pleasant experience that was consistent with other experiences in Iceland.

I was unaware that European bed sizes are slightly smaller than American bed sizes, which can make a difference for taller/larger Americans like myself. The mattresses and pillows were adequate, but not terrible, so you can expect to recover from a long day but not necessarily feel completely rejuvenated. The bathrooms are a bit small (toilet is very close to the wall so I had to sit at an angle.)

Quiet room close to Krónan supermarket/Ice wear store and food cafes. Walkable to black sand beach. Easy communication with property during the days leading up to our check in. The app download/ check in link was a bit difficult due to my SIM card number being different but they were helpful.

Not as rural as I expected. A lot has been built up around the cottages since tithe pictures on the website were taken. Beds not super comfortable but pillows were good.

Cosy, if small. All facilities there- shower, fridge, kettle with tea and coffee- we bought a pint of milk at the supermarket. TV had some UK channels- a rarity!! Bed very comfortable, and the best pillows I've had on my trip around Iceland . Check in and out was digital- very efficient, entry to cottage via pin code.

The windows had blinds, one of which was too small for the window, so light at night (midnight sun) could be an issue

Lovely place. Same owner as Hotel Vik, so you get some of their facilities as restaurant and staff help. Everything was clean, great room space. Good toilet amenities.

Not much room in the shower or in the bathroom at all. Hot water runs out and you're left full of soap with only cold water, because they use eletric boiler and it takes very very long to warm water again. Suggest getting a bigger boiler. We were expecting a little bit more fanciness from our most expensive stay in Inceland (10 days in different cities). Not very good value for money, but guess Vik is expensive.

The nesting birds on the cliff directly behind the cabin. Very efficient at the front desk. Bar staff was helpful. The cabin was nice and quiet. Many people in the past expressed concerns over the cabin being a duplex. We never heard our neighbors expect when they were coming or going. Could have walked to anything in Vik very quickly.

The view on booking.com pictures was deceiving. You see buildings and a campground out the front porch. Could have used a mini bar or small refrigerator.

Location was right at Vik. The room was cosy. It was one cottage & two rooms. When we approached Hotel Vik to collect the keys, we asked if we could stay one night at the hotel instead and the other in the cottage. They very kindly obliged at no charge. The hotel room came with free breakfast but the cottage did not.

We had to share one cottage with another person. Remember to close the curtains as it was not located at a private street.

The cottage was really nice and clean Bathroom was great Staff was very helpful Location is great . Just across the street from the beach, supermarket and restaurants

No kitchen utensils like spoon, knife etc No microwave or fridge in the cottage The view from the cottage is not that great and you are not in a secluded area like you would get the feeling looking at photos. The view is actually of other buildings in front of the cottages

It was in a good, beautiful location - but just know that the view looking out from the front of the cottages is not the same as the view behind it! The view from the cottage is towards town. The cottage itself was clean, tastefully decorated and had a closet and a bench to put your bags. There was also plenty of free parking.

The bathroom, although very nice, is very small - barely enough room to move around getting in/out of the shower. WiFi was very slow when we first arrived and we couldn’t get the TV to work. Since these are advertised as cottages, it would have been nice to have a mini fridge as well.

No complaints, only compliments about this place. The cottage was modern with everything you would need for a more rustic stay. Check in and check out was smooth. The location is perfect with shops, gas, restaurants and groceries all within a close walk and even closer driver. Also, you’re very close to the black sand beach, which is easily accessible. Thanks for a great stay!
