You're really in the "middle of nowhere" and that's a fantastic feeling. The road towards the hotel is a gravel road (>4km). Make sure to bring your own food because there is nothing to find around.
This really is a fantastic location

Overall great property and awesome experience but bathrooms showers in few rooms don’t drain properly and ended up flooding the bathroom.
Its a bit challenging to found the hotel in the middle of nowhere but lava field. It was a good experience though! The room is very very new and clean. We have a very good stay. And feel grateful about the location that give us a reason to discovered the surrounding geographic.
Why does this apartment complex exist in the middle of literally nowhere? We don't know, but it was very nice! As we drove toward it, we were questioning whether it actually existed because it's far down a smooth dirt road surrounded by literally nothing. The room was very nice, clean, shower was great, kitchenette had plates, cups, utensils for 4, a nice couch and TV. We loved our stay.

Easy check-in, the apartment offers everything you need.
The walls are a little thin and you can hear the people next door talking. Make sure to bring earplugs with you, if it bothers you.
Only downside is the way to the accommodation on the gravel road.

The property is remote. You must drive down a very long dirt road to get there. You have to drive farther than you think. The room was nice and they had fresh fruit for us too.

The rooms/apartments are fairly newly built, clean, spacious, well furnished with kitchenette and good size bathroom. You park your car right outside of your room like a motel setup. There is no lobby or staff, you get your room key via the lock box on each door. The hotel is in a very desolate area, takes over 30min to get to when you drive off route 1 and onto an unpaved dirt/gravel road, very bumpy. No lights no nothing just open land. Very hard to get to if you are driving in the dark. Nothing is nearby (40min away) so you better get groceries and food before you head to the hotel.

The only issue was we had never used an induction stove before and we didn’t know how to unlock the stove so we could use it. We eventually figured it out with a good YouTube video.

Great hotel choice for the area!
The hotel was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Lots of outlets too. The employees were very responsive when we needed something. It’s remote but most places are in that area of Iceland. I would definitely stay there again!

Great place!
Omg! This place is amazing! While it is in the middle of nowhere down a long gravel drive, it's perfectly situated between Vic & The Glacier Lagoon. It's brand new and as you walk in the entry and bathroom have heated floors! The host is very thoughtful.

Beautiful apartment. It had comfortable beds and the entire place was spotless. Views in the morning were amazing. Really appreciated the coffee as well!! It is very remote. Long gravel road off the beaten path. Bring snacks, food and drinks because there is nothing on this stretch of Hwy 1 anyway. We stayed here on our way from Reykjavik to Glacier Lagoon. Perfect spot for an overnight stay.

The room was clean and modern style.
Unique location, I liked it.
The staff was good and warm welcome.
Coffee was soooo good.
But the room had no soundproofing, so I could hear conversations and footsteps, everything from the next rooms.

This guest house was super comfortable and staff communication was great… super convenient check-in. Only downside, is it’s in the middle of nowhere. 8 km on a gravel road. But… place is great. Might be best accommodation within 100km so don’t let the dirt road discourage you. You can see the horizon over the volcanic plane and ponder.
