Absolut enttäuschend
Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Die Raumaufteilung dieser neugebauten kleinen Apartments ist mangelhaft.
Es ist kalt, der Kühlschrank steht direkt vor der Badezimmertür. Darüber besteht die Garderobe nur aus drei verschiedenen Plastik-Bügeln.
Es gibt keinen Mülleimer im Bad. Es gibt auch keinen Schminkspiegel im Bad.
Der Blick auf die das Meer ist verbaut durch die vielen anderen Appartements.
Auf den Kühlschrank ist lieblos eine Mikrowelle gestellt.
Alles in allem ist das eine ganz ganz lieblose Anlage zu einem absoluten Höchstpreis. Niemals wieder werden wir dorthin fahren und können es unter diesen Umständen auch niemandem weiterempfehlen.
Zu dem überhöhten Preis für die Übernachtung kommt noch ein sehr hoher Extra Preis für das Frühstück.
Zudem war das WLAN extrem langsam.
Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt überhaupt nicht.

Freezing cold shower, spiders, and a cute cottage with a porch facing other cottages.
Pros:

Super cute little cottage with a small porch (but was facing other cottages rather than the view out our side window for some reason). We were able to drive up to drop off our things and then there was plenty of close by parking space. Beds were comfortable and the black out curtains worked well. Great location with walking paths to some beautiful spots.

Cons:

We slept in a bit and by the time we got up, there was absolutely zero warm water in the morning. I basically had to sponge bathe myself because it was freezing cold. If you stay here, make sure you wake up extra early for a hot shower. The staff was pretty lame as well. We walked in the main building to check in and nobody was there. One of the restaurant workers got somebody for us eventually. This was also the only place in Iceland that I saw a spider (in our room, no less). We noticed they were doing some construction on the main building. Maybe they should invest in another hot water heater instead.

Pros:

The location and the flexibility

Cons:

It would be nice to provide some cutlery and a small table, so that you can really make use of the microwave provided to prepare a quick meal.

Cottages, ans Hotel angegliedert
Pros:

Die Cottages liegen bildhübsch auf einem Hügel und malerisch vor dem Bergzug. Funktionale Ausstattung, Matratzen und Bad ok. Sehr gutes Frühstück im Hotel direkt zubuchbar. Kurzer Weg am Hotel vorbei zu den Klippen. Charging Station vor der Türe. Je nach Cottage Meerblick am Hotel vorbei, nach hinten leider keine Fenster auf die Berge.

Einfach aber gut
Pros:

Kleine einfache saubere Lodge.

Cons:

Uns fehlte ein kleiner Tisch.
Wlan sehr schwach.
Das man das Auto nicht direkt an der Lodge abstellen soll
müsste besser kommuniziert werden.
