Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The towels are visible old with towel lint. Not to expect any normal hotel services. Very noisy when someone is walking or talking at the corridor.
The kitchen food is very good. Very homemade feeling.
Try the lamb.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Old room, unpleasant odor from
Sulfur hot water or from drain?
Good location to observe aurora, Diamond beach, glacier lagoons.
Clean, very friendly staff, free parking, warm bungalows.
They also offer delicious dinner- choice of three main meals and soups plus three desserts.

Liked: Staff & service
Great surroundings, lovely views, clean and good tea selection. Needs a few more home comforts and updating i.e, TV, extra pillows, better food selection, mirror in the room, etc.
Staff was not very nice when we initially came in. Room smelled damp and was very warm (with no thermostat to control temperature). Parking was far from our actual room. No food options nearby, we had to drive over an hour to the next town for lunch. Personally would not stay here again.
Excellent property located in a quiet settlement 45 mins from Hofn. Very near to the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Great restaurant and breakfast. The rooms are a little old and needs some work. We were surprised by the lack of phone charging points near the bed. Other than that no complaints. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Amazing swathing views of the mountains and sea.
Nice place to spend the night. Friendly staff and because it is far from city lights, it is an excellent place to view the aurora. The room was spacious and clean.
Nice quiet location. The main house has four rooms upstairs and only one bathroom. That bathroom does not have a separate shower but a soaking tub with a handheld shower head. The kitchen is in a separate building that contains a Kitchen/family room and bathroom ( with shower) on the first floor and bedrooms upstairs. The rooms and facilities are nice and clean.
Clean, organized, simple, the host was very welcoming and helpful. The guesthouse has all you need (food, drinks and warmth) when away from civilization. It’s also located first line to the sea.
Fantastic views from the chalet, good breakfast. The chalet had very limited facilities but was very clean and warm. The stay was spoilt by discovering on arrival that one of the two rooms confirmed had been sold to someone else forcing us to share a room that we did dot wish to do.

Perfect place to stay after time spent at the lagoon. We had a cabin room, no frills but it was clean and convenient.
