The staff was very welcoming and jumped right on a problem we had when the shower flooded. They even gave us a wake up call to catch a glimpse of the northern lights. The food was beyond our expectations. We don’t normally stay at hotels associated to golf courses so honestly didn’t expect much but this place is well worth the stop over for the view, food and nice, really nice people. We look forward to going back and trying out one of the cabins.

A Wonderfull Stay!

What an amazing experience! Our room was lovely with an amazing view of the glorious mountains. The staff was very helpful - we appreciated the 2 am wake up call to advise us of the Northern Lights. Breakfast was very nice as well.

Beautiful hotel. We stayed in one of the cabins. Modern, clean, comfortable. The breakfast was the best we had all trip and the staff were friendly and nice. I would definitely stay here again. They also have a sauna and hot tub and offer to wake you up if they see the northern lights.

Great hotel in a quiet part of the island. This was a nice jumping off point for touring the Snaefellsnes peninsula. Nice facilities. The cabins are very comfortable!

Bungalows are new and clean

We stayed in the bungalow which was very new and clean. It looks exactly as presented in the pictures. Staff were helpful. Breakfast was decent. The bungalows have their own outdoor hot tub and sauna area which was nice. There are about 12 bungalows total (I think), so it could get crowded in that hot tub and sauna when the hotel is busy given they weren’t very big. It seems like a good place to see northern lights, we just didn’t get lucky during our stay. Only downside from our stay was no smart tv (unless we just weren’t able to figure it out), but you can easily plug in an Amazon fire stick. Also, due to some issue, the hot tub was more like a warm tub. We recognize things happen so we won’t let it affect the review, but still disappointing. Overall would recommend

Cosy and beautiful

We got upgraded to the deluxe cabins which were fantastic for star gazing and northern lights viewing. The room was big and clean. Only thing is the room was not warm enough even with max heater on. However, it was a very nice experience overall.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are dated and repairs seem to be sub par. Beds are odd and it seems to be impossible to get a true double room vs 2 pushed together (also, short). Location is pleasant outside of town with a good view and porch.
