We LOVED this hotel! The room was spotless, super comfortable beds and amazing views right outside. Behind the "house" there are waterfalls. Location was super close to the Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon. This was our favorite hotel for our trip in Iceland and wish we had the opportunity to stay longer than a night.
We loved our stay. It is in a quiet and remote area with a view that absolutely could not be beat. I wish we would have had more time here for the view alone. The place was clean, easy to access, with a lovely bathroom. Bonus points as well for the adorable and totally sweet yellow lab we met on the property. 5 starts for him alone. Would definitely come stay here again. The only thing I would advise for anyone staying for the first time is to plan ahead for food as options in the area are limited.
A normal room, anf for 400 USD a night there could be at least some kind of breakfast offer or an hot tub. If you you can get it for 200 USD ok, otherwise book one of the nice hotels around
Very clean room with amazing views. Quiet location. There are no shops nearby but the hotel is a 20 min walk away. Best to come prepared with food options. There is a fridge but no real storage, not a problem for us but might be for some.
Beautiful scenery from our bedroom window...including glaciers and the views of the icebergs floating in the lake. The room also had a view of several waterfalls. Beware of the summer no-see-ums.
Very clean and comfortable beds! Their sister hotel across the street gave us a 10% discount and the meal was perfection! This hotel has no onsite reception but they send easy step by step instructions! The backyard is a mountain with waterfalls! Loved it!!
Beauty property. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
This was my most expensive hotel stay during my trip to Iceland and I was really disappointed. I don't understand why it cost so much when there isn't any staff on site and they don't even have enough parking. Three cars took up the available spots and we had to park just in the lane. There was only one car charger and some jerk kept it the whole time we were there. Plus every time someone walked up the stairs to go to their room they just stared into ours like we were zoo animals on display.
Good: Room was excellent: spacious, clean, comfortable, view from window, chair and small table to sit at, big TV. It's a very nice room in an expensive area, no more, no less
Could improve: cars could park in front of window partially blocking view; somewhere to prepare a simple meal as very limited opportunities to eat elsewhere relatively cheaply. Update the door opening instructions.
Great stay, fab location, lovely room and very warm throughout our stay. The filter coffee/coffee press was a welcome treat my partner enjoyed. Beds were very comfy with plush bedding and pillows. With A great shower as well...... nothing to fault here. Would def recommend and stay again.
The location is good. However, it is like a B&B facility. No service desk. The customer support seems cold and un-helpful. Also, there is not enough table space in the bathroom or in the room for guests to perform necessary functiions
