The Girl that checked us in, served the food and checked us out the next day was great. I feel like she’s the only person that works there lol. It was great to have a private hot tub. Only complaint was the kitchen area in the cabin smelt like seafood but at least the sleeping areas did not.

We booked a hot tub room and the hot tub was very hot! My son loved it. The accommodation is a bit tired but we were only there for one night and again my son loved it. Nice and spacious. I was disappointed that breakfast was not being served and we had not been informed about that. The restaurant was very nice and reasonably priced.

We stayed for three nights and the accommodations were comfortable. But the front desk/customer service was lacking in both visibility and accessibility. Perhaps in the off-season when there aren’t as many visitors, they just concentrate on when the restaurant is open from 5 PM to 9 PM. We ate there twice and the food was great. It was great to step outside to your own hot tub also.

Great friendly place to stay.

We were only going to stay for a day, it was an emergency stop because my wife was feeling ill. I spoke with Frida and Ragnar and they were so helpful with our needs. We decided to make their place out home base for the next 4 days. The room we had bosted a sauna that helped get my wife better. Frida and Ragnar had true country charm and made our stay memorable. We would most definitely stay here again on our next visit to iceland!

Little Cabin In The Woods

Charming little cabin in the woods feel. Facilities feel a bit older, but okay for a short stay. Our cottage had a larger bed with a single bunk built above it. A little tight for 3 adults, but would be perfect for parents and a teen/kid. Bunch of cottages situated together with a few shared public hot tubs in the middle. Check-in was friendly and helpful.

We had a nice time at this property. All bedrooms had bunkbeds; double below and twin above. We enjoyed the hot tub on the deck and the kitchen and sitting area was great. They offer laundry. Horse riding is available 5 min from this location.

Pleasant stay in Iceland

We enjoyed our stay here. It was centrally located for the various sites we wanted to see during our brief stopover in Iceland. The cabins were charming. We would have liked to have had blackout curtains in the living room and not just the bedroom, but everything was clean and comfortable. The workers were friendly; we'd recommend staying here.
