We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations because as you point out, most of our customer reviews are very good, we have 9.1 on booking.com, 5/5 on Airbnb and most reviews on Tripadvisor are comparable. We choose not to mow the lawn and choose to have the hot tub located in the wild to enhance the experience of not being urban as it is very nice to be in the hot tub in winter when the northern lights are there because there is no light pollution, during summer you have the high weeds surrounding you while you can enjoy the view. Some of what you mention indoors fits well, the bedroom is small but we've replaced the kitchen table because of the damage it has, the sofa/sofabed is a Icelandic design and filled with Icelandic wool which makes it very warm and comfortable to sleep on, sorry to hear you didn't like it . Thank you for your stay and giving you time to write us a review, we always want to do better :)

Hi, thank you for your review. The reason why we have the hot tub where it is so you feel more private and also the location of the hot tub gives you better view to Akureyri. We decided to have it located in the nature to give our customers a feeling of bathing out in the nature. Because of the location of the property and the possibility to enjoy northern lights we did not want to put lights that would disturb the lights from the northern lights.
Best regards
