Pros:

The property is beautiful and extremely clean. The room we were in had a double bed and a king size bed. They were very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were great. We enjoyed the hot tub. The breakfast was much better than we expected! They had eggs and bacon and many types of pastries and cereal! Excellent stay in a quiet and convenient place. Close to Vik but far enough away to get quiet. A great place to see Northern Lights - but it was too cloudy for us to see any.

Pros:

Rooms were very spacious and well equipped/decorated. A continental breakfast was served 8-10am which was lovely and the staff were very helpful too. The hot tub was a cherry on top.

Pros:

Practically impossible check in. If it wasn’t for the wonderful house keeper we would have never gotten checked in and would have had to sleep on the lobbies couch. Called countless times to no avail for someone to give a code to check in. No phone anywhere in the facilities. The hot tub actually had algae in it. The room was VERY small. (Watch your head) Only saving grace was a comfy bed and a nice breakfast spread. Would not recommend.

Pros:

Very cozy place and the staff was friendly. I do believe they have something wrong with the drains. They didn’t drain well and they emitted a noxious smell. The room was quite nice but there was a lot of sand on the floor so it was pretty gritty.

Pros:

It took a very long time for me to receive the code to get yourself into the room. The staff began banging on the door at 10:45 AM which was 15 minutes before check out.

The man was very rude.


I can’t believe you allow this place on hotels.com. I’ve been using it for decades. I’m considering changing options because of this location.
The experience is terrible overall.

Cpuld have been worse I guess
Pros:

The rooms were tidy, which was appreciated. However, the check-in process was extremely frustrauted as we were unable to reach anyone during this time. Hopefully, the issues with the check-in service can be addressed for future guests as we were the lukcy ones with the ability to even check in like guests. Overall, there's room for improvement to provide a more seamless experience. The rooms while clean required maintenance like the door to the balcony not functioning and in response, staff members claimed it is what it is without any attempt to repair.

Pros:

Stayed in room 102. The hotel is a beautiful log cabin design with a lot of neat touches such as the carved bears in the staircases. The room is a nice size with a mini fridge that is only big enough for a couple drinks. Bed was comfortable. The breakfast was great. A large variety of sweets, cereal, fresh bread and even eggs and bacon. Had no issues getting the code or opening the lockbox that held the key. Recommended. Close to Skogafoss and the amazing hike to Kvernufoss.

Pros:

This property DO NOT HAVE ANY STAFF. The staff only comes in the morning to prepare breakfast for guests. They will emaill you a few hours before check in for the code to your room. Don't worry, if they don't there is a phone yiu can use to call the owners. This is a beautiful property! Surrounded by mountains and waterfalls it is an amazing accomodation! breakfast is amazing! However, there's flies!!! So just beware. The rooms are huge! The kitchen has unlimited supply of coffee,, tea and biscuits! We will definitely stay again!

Pros:

The facility is in a beautiful location and the staff was very friendly. Parking was also not a problem, although the website states that no on-site parking is available. Breakfast was also excellent.
One area for improvement - the beds are very close to the wall where the windows are. As a result, the drapes hang over the bed and contact the person in the bed, which can be starling during sleep.

Pros:

Really enjoyed the breakfast that was included. Very quiet location. As with many places in Iceland, there was no staff on site so you had to use an access code for entry. No restaurants are close by so we had to go to Vik.

Pros:

Quiet location on the south coast. Breakfast buffet was exceptional for a small hotel. We liked the coffee machine was available at all times with several options. Did not like the absence of a receptionist and phone assistance does not work after 9pm. One guest arrived without his room code and had to find alternative accommodation.

Pros:

I did not stay. No service staff on premises. Arrived. Building unlocked no cars and no one there. In the middle of country. Advertised hotel. Empty with locked bedrooms. Very unsettling. Seems the staff fled the property or they don’t provide any service. Went to a hotel for the night. Want reimbursement.

Pros:

The check in process should be better if owner can give precise response. I called and they said we would get codes to check in within 24 hours, but got code in the last minute. This made us very uncomfortable since it is our first time to come in this new place and worried no room.

Also, I booked 3 double twin rooms and only got one twin room. I sent request and no any response.

The property is pretty and provides free breakfast. The surrounding views are very beautiful.

Pros:

The cabin was so cozy with the mountain back drop right down the road from Skogafoss, a BEAUTIFUL waterfall with a trail system behind it. There is also a great restaurant next to this waterfall. 5 minutes away from the cabin there is also a great cafe called Taxi Cafe.

The hot tub on this property is awesome. No chlorine, just heated freshwater, and it’s kept clean. Our room and bathroom was cozy as well. Breakfast items were served from 8am-10am. The eggs were powdered, and the quality of the food was sub par, but it was something to eat. There is a coffee machine available most hours.

Some of the downsides, you are only given one towel for bathing, and one tiny refrigerator enough to hold two sodas. The service was terrible. I asked the staff a question on two occasions and they rolled their eyes and ignored me both times. The bathroom window was cracked then glued back together with a window sticker to cover it. Instead of a view of the mountain, we had that.

Overall, would go back again. We had a lovely stay, check in was easy, and the facilities were good.
