Stay Apartments Bolholt
- Duration per the operator: duration not stated
A self-catering base in Reykjavik with a solid track record
Stay Apartments Bolholt is an apartment stay in Reykjavik, the departure point for this listing. The operator does not state a duration for the stay, and no entry price is published. What is on record is the property's standing among its peers: an 8.5 rating drawn from 1,402 reviews, which places it 14th in its category of 319 apartment listings when ranked by the number of reviews behind it. This is a place that has been booked and reviewed at scale, which gives its score a weight that smaller samples cannot offer.
The listing does not name the operator, and the itinerary shows only Reykjavik itself as the location. The property sits in the capital, and the practical question for anyone considering it is how the apartment works as a base for seeing the city. With no duration stated, the stay is presumably flexible, and the absence of a published price means you would need to check current rates directly. What the catalogue does record is that no fees apply to this listing's places, so there are no admission or parking charges to factor into your budget on top of the accommodation cost.

An apartment in the capital, with the city around it
The listing places Stay Apartments Bolholt in Reykjavik, and the departure city for the stay is the same. Reykjavik itself is a compact city of 139,804 people within 244 square kilometres, while the greater capital region holds 253,230 residents. The city charter dates to 18 August 1786, which makes it a relatively young urban centre by European standards. For getting about, the apartment's position in the capital means the city's streets, shops and services are the immediate context. The catalogue does not give a street address or a distance to the centre, so the precise walking time to landmarks is not on record. What is clear is that you are staying in the capital itself rather than in a suburb or an outlying town, and the city's own scale means most of what Reykjavik offers is within reach without a long transfer.
What this listing does not carry
The catalogue holds no operator name for Stay Apartments Bolholt, and no duration or price is published for the stay. There is no statement about free cancellation, and that is worth noting because the majority of listings in this category grant it. This property does not, so you should treat the booking as one where the cancellation terms are set by the operator at the time you reserve. The listing also does not record details of the apartment itself, such as its size, layout or facilities, and there is no mention of meals being provided. The only place named on the itinerary is Reykjavik, so there are no day trips or additional stops built into this stay. The comparable listings in the same category offer variations on the same theme, such as a two-bedroom flat with a balcony and free parking, a modern two-bedroom apartment in the centre, a city-centre property, or a studio by Laugavegur, but each of those carries only one or two reviews. Stay Apartments Bolholt stands apart from them on the strength of its 1,402 reviews, and on the absence of free cancellation, which is the exception in this category rather than the rule.

The order follows the weight of evidence and not the commission. Every value comes from the same catalogue fields, so that the columns compare.
How many people have judged it?
The number of ratings per listing, the score in brackets. A score without the population behind it tells you nothing.
This site's quality bar sits at ten ratings. Below that is not a verdict, it is chance.

A score with real weight behind it
The 8.5 rating for Stay Apartments Bolholt comes from 1,402 reviews. That number of ratings is the decisive fact here. In a category of 319 apartment listings, this property ranks 14th by volume of reviews, which puts it in the top handful of places that travellers have actually tested and written about. The score itself is solid, but the sample size is what makes it meaningful. A high score from a handful of guests tells you little; a score in the mid-eight range from well over a thousand stays tells you that the experience has been consistent across many different visitors and seasons. The rank of 195 of 319 in the category is ordered by strength of evidence rather than by score alone, and that ordering reflects the sheer number of reviews this property has accumulated. Among its comparable listings, the others carry perfect 10.0 scores, but each of those rests on just one or two reviews, which is no basis for comparison. Stay Apartments Bolholt is the only one of the group with a substantial evidence base, and that is worth more than a perfect score with no weight behind it.

Cool months, mild summers, and a stay that runs on its own clock
Reykjavik's climate runs cool throughout the year. From January through March, average highs sit at 3 to 4 degrees with lows around minus 2 to minus 1. April brings a high of 7 degrees, and May reaches 10. The summer months of June, July and August are the warmest, with highs of 13, 15 and 14 degrees respectively, and lows of 7 to 9 degrees. September cools to 11 degrees, October to 8, and November to 5, before December returns to the winter pattern of a 3-degree high and a minus 2 low. Since no duration is stated for this stay, the season matters mainly for what you pack and how you plan your days. In the summer months, the mild temperatures and long daylight hours suit being out and about at any time of day. In the winter months, the cold is not extreme by Icelandic standards, but the short days mean you will want to plan indoor time alongside any sightseeing. The apartment format gives you the flexibility to cook and rest on your own schedule, which is an advantage in any season.

Common questions
Is admission included?
The catalogue does not say. Where the route is waterfalls and beaches there is nothing to pay; ask if it includes a paid attraction.
How long does the place to stay really take?
The catalogue gives duration not stated. That is the operator's own figure and covers the tour itself, not the time you spend getting to the meeting point.
Is there a guide who works in English?
The catalogue does not say. The field is empty, which is not a no; ask before booking.
Where do I find all the data on this place to stay?
In the data sheet on this page. It carries every field on the tour, on each place it visits and on the climate of the departure city, each with its source, and it downloads as a CSV.
Does this listing's rating mean anything?
Yes. 8.5 out of 10 from 1,402 is above the bar this site holds, which is 8.0 out of 10 from at least ten voices.
