ARNARSTAPI Iceland Mt. Stapafell, a beautiful harbour, clifftop walks, and a sight in every direction. #BVSBlue

9/10 Wonderful! (192 reviews)
What could be improved is the flexibility shown in exceptional circumstances. We were unable to reach the cottage due to a snowstorm, and a partial refund would have been a reasonable gesture of goodwill. Policies serve their purpose from a business standpoint, but an occasional act of understanding ...
