8/10 Very Good! (1 review)
Overall it was a good space for the 6 people that we had. Kitchen was handy. I recommend that they have mirrors in each bedroom considering that there is only one bathroom. It would be nice to have some extra trash bags.

Adventurous hike up to this waterfall. The hike is called Glymur. We had to walk through knee high water, jump rocks, use ropes to climb up steep cliffs, cross multiple rivers, walk on side of cliffs using narrow pathways, and walk through slippery mountain sides. Well worth it and made it even more exciting of a hike. I would suggest going here when visiting Iceland. It's approximately 1 hour and a half from Reykjavik. I took this photo while I was sitting on the side of a cliff overlooking the waterfall. Birds were flying side to side to their nests. It was truely paradise. #glymur #iceland #paradise #hikes #adventure # travel
