- "The apartment is very well equipped. Owners were helpful and quick in communication. They really provide everything you need. The place is very cosy and comfy. Really good location for the golden circle sights but Skogar and Vík are not too far either. The town also has everything that you may need (grocery store, restaurants etc.).

- "Everything!!!" - "Clean, cosy and incredibly comfortable. The yurts were beautifully presented and authentically constructed in Mongolia. The beds were very comfortable and the underfloor heating kept them a very snug temperature. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. All the staff were fantastic, both the Icelandic and English." - "Wow what an incredible stay we had here! The views are breathtaking and the yurts are very conveniently located between geysir and the guilfoss waterfalls. After travelling through thick snow and freezing temperatures we were expecting the yurts to be quite chilly. But it was actually really toasty and very comfortable. The yurt was very spacious, tastefully decorated and was equipped with everything we needed. As we were leaving the campsite early both mornings the host arranged us a lovely breakfast in the fridge. It was also great to have skjol bistro within waIking distance serving lovely home made pizzas. I would also recommend the nearby vinstofa wine bar. I cant recommend nattura yurtel enough!"
