IStay Cottage

Excellent cabin. Clean, simple, warm. Easy check in. Has a very well equipped communal kitchen. Enjoyed listening to local birds calling. Close to airport but not under flightpath. Saw the northern lights!!!! Highly recommend.

8 minutes drive to the airport. A set of 5 or 6 tiny house cottages. Room with a bathroom is about it but very nice. Located in a field away from most everything. Considering the proximity to the airport, never heard or saw an airplane. Drive to the rental car lot was quick and easy for an early morning flight.

Location near the airport. We have a comfortable and restful stay in the cottage. The environment is so fresh, clean and quiet. There is Lupine just outside the room, a super nice view. We have a shared toilet with others, but the bathroom is so clean and spacious enough with a hair dryer, heater, shower gel and shampoo. Highly recommended!

We stayed at iStay Cottages on the evening of August 6, 2025. We chose to stay here due to its proximity to the Keflavik Airport and we had to be at the airport for 4:30am. The stay did begin with us not having our check-in information which we were partly to blame because I didn’t notice that it was never sent amongst all the other confirmations, etc. for this particular vacation. Unfortunately, when I tried to call, my travel SIM would not put the call through and my emails which I sent the day of our reservation went unanswered ( I later found out that the host only checks emails once a day). Thankfully the staff at Happy Camper near the airport let me use their phone and I was able to speak to the host and get everything sorted out. Apparently there is an ongoing issue with Expedia and their email messaging system. The host gave us the code for the key box and information about the use of the common space. Our cottage had a queen bed and a fold-down couch for our son, blackout blinds and a spacious bathroom with all the toiletries one would need. The common space had coffee, tea and a lot of items left by past guests which were made available for our use. There was every kitchen utensil, pot, device one could need to make a meal. There was a toaster, microwave, kettle, large fridge and stove. The beds were clean and comfortable. Although the cottages are near the airport, we rarely heard air traffic during our stay and had a great night's sleep. Check out was easy. All we needed to do was lock our door and drop the key in the drop box at the main building. We would definitely stay at this location again.

Great stay with cute cabin. Share restrooms were super clean. Great kitchen amenities are available for all. Less than 10 minutes from the airport. Couldn't be any happier without stay.

Great location close to airport, nice and fresh inside cabin and kitchen. Comfortable beds. The only downside was the dirty window (outside) so we fixed that. A pity not to have a clear view, so pretty outside. The kitchen windows were also dirty.

Very nice accommodations, easy to check-in, and clean. We enjoyed the room and appreciated the black-out curtains since the sun didn't ever really set. Definitely recommend for a nice spot to stay close to the airport.

We stayed here for a night before leaving Iceland. It is quiet and cosy place. Have a restful day. The location is nearby KEF airport. The washroom is clean and spacious, with shampoo, shower gel, heater, and hair dryer! The view from the room is so nice, filled with blooming lupines. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. When our flight was rescheduled, we asked if we could change our booking dates, and the owner kindly and quickly agreed.
