Holiday houses in Rif

Probably my favourite Airbnb of all time. I went with my husband and 2 children and we felt right at home. The weather wasn’t always great and my son was unwell and it was honestly the best place to spend time. Very relaxing, very well decorated, very well equipped kitchen - just perfect all round.

10/10. Maria and her family were wonderful hosts. From letting my children play with their pets to allowing us flexible check in and out due to our flight times, this listing is an absolute gem. Great water (drinking and bathing), beautiful yard, killer views. We saw the northern lights right from our windows multiple nights. I wish we could have stayed forever!

Of the 6 different places we stayed during our time in Iceland, this was our favorite! A well equipped kitchen, clean and comfortable and just an overall great place to stay.

The accommodation is spacious, very well equipped. Various games are available for children and board games are also provided. The accommodation is clean and nice. An electrical outlet is also available for those with an electric vehicle. Finally the view is beautiful from the living room, a huge view of the bay.

Just a wonderful stay in Arnarstapi at this little cottage. Very homey, with all the things you need for a stay for a few days. We settled in for our three day stay and enjoyed the local sights including a trip up to the top of the glacier and a whale watching excursion. We would highly recommend this place.

Well…to be honest, I wouldn’t use “luxury” to describe this place. Cozy, modern, efficient definitely! Most importantly the views surrounding the location is just breathtaking. Kirkjufell view is right out your balcony 24/7. The unit is on a small size about 25sqm give or take. Kitchen is equipped enough for lite cooking for 2 no more than that. Unless you plan to stay in your room 24hrs this will never be a problem. The host was friendly and gave clear instructions, no fuss at all. If you’re looking for a peacefully beautiful location with gorgeous views all around this place tick all the boxes. But not for the kind of “luxury stay” if that’s what you want.

Comfortable well appointed house in a great town from which to explore the local area. Kitchen worked really well for breakfasts and dinners at home. Plenty of space for our family.

This was hands down the nicest, cosiest Airbnb we've stayed at. Anna Maria was friendly and helpful and her house is fantastic - the beds were comfy, the kitchen was fully stocked and then some (the coffee machine was especially fabulous). Our kids enjoyed the puzzles, board games, arts & crafts, movie collection, and space to stretch out and play in the house and yard. You can see the stunning mountains and the sea from the windows and there's tons of beautiful places to see and hike nearby. It was definitely a good idea to buy groceries in Borgarnes on the way to Arnarstapi. We would definitely choose to stay there again!

Right on the beach! Had a great night and had a beautiful view of the northern lights!
