Pros:

Die Nähe zum Skogarfoss ist toll! Das Frühstück ist sehr gut.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer ist zu klein, das Waschbecken so winzig, dass man nicht weiß wie man Zähne putzen soll. Das Wasser riecht extrem nach Schwefel, aber das ist für Island nicht ungewöhnlich. Der Fernseher hat nicht funktioniert, er zeigt zwar alle Sender hat aber keinen Empfang. Betten waren nicht bequem.

Pros:

위치가 정말 좋습니다. 이름 그대로 스코가 포스가 걸어서 5분거리인 것부터 해서, 나름 큰 도시인 Vik 까지가 차로 30분 안걸리고 유명 관광지인 Dyrholaey나 Reynisdrangar 등 다 20분 안걸려서 갈 수 있습니다. 여길 숙소로 잡으실 정도면 다들 렌트는 하셨을거니 렌트여행객들한테 아주 매력적입니다. 조식 메뉴는 다채롭지는 않으나 다 먹을만 했습니다. 방도 넓어서 짐풀기 좋았네요. 티비로 유튜브도 볼 수 있었습니다.(처음에 연결 안됐는데 직원이 고생한 끝에 연결시켜줌, Thank you.)

Cons:

다른 리뷰어들처럼 물에서 유황냄새가 많이 났습니다. 씻는건 괜찮은데 양치물로 쓰기엔 좀 힘들긴 하네요. 그리고 새벽에8 화재경보기가 귀 찢어질 듯한 소리로 울렸는데 대처가 느렸습니다. 저희 와이프가 경보기 안내판에 그림을 보고 끄긴 했는데 정말 잠이 싹 달아나버렸네요.
