Bakki Hostel and Apartments

Perfect stay for the family of 3 in their apartment

We did not expect to check in late in the evening (11pm...). Nobody was at the front desk at this hour and we were unable to phone the number. We were on the curb feeling a bit hopeless! We rang a bell and 10 minutes later the owner came to our rescue. All was good in the end and the owner was very kind, but it was a stressful 10 minutes! Little family business in a small village. The owner wants to create something good for his community.

Great property, clean; felt like home. Simply nice! All excellent, what I want when I travel with family!

The apartment was great. Lots of room, decent sized appliances, tonnes of closet space. Probably ideal for a long term stay or if you have a large family. The only knock on the space was that the bathroom could probably use an upgrade. Communication with the hotel was poor however and the office is never open, even during listed hours. We attempted to contact them using email/contact us link numerous times but they did not respond. Just had to check the office multiple times every day to eventually get lucky. Really nice people but they need to be around a little more even in the off season. I suspect high season may have been better. It is a great apartment though in a quiet little town just a short drive from lots of activities (geysir, Thingvellir, Selfoss, Lava tunnel, horseback riding, etc).

The apartment was huge, sparkly clean and equipped with modern appliances. It was right on the beach with a nice patio. The manager showed us the room and how to use the appliances. We loved how spacious the apartment was and my kids enjoyed lounging on the big sofa while watching TV (Netflix and more). The manager also recommended a local restaurant 5 min walk away, the red house, which was delicious.

Bakki Apartments was a great place for my family of 5 (kids aged 10,12, 13) to stay on our first night in Iceland. It's not too far from the airport and is in a very quiet area with a lovely beach walk. It had all we needed and the staff was very accommodating in allowing an early check-in. We highly recommend!

Great one-bedroom apartment is great for my family vacation.

Excellent apartment! It was very spacious, modern and clean. It comfortably slept our family of 5. I highly recommend it to others. Good central location for many of the famous sites Iceland has to offer tourists.
