Nice clean property- breakfast was acceptable- not good but acceptable- glacier view was beautiful- fire alarms at 2 AM really affected sleep but you can't make people behave
The property was really nice and located right by the Glacier. Please be aware of the geothermal pool hours as they do have operating hours which you can find on Google. The tubs closed at 9:30p and we were disappointed since it’s not clear on any website what those are unless you specifically find it on Google. Staff was friendly and breakfast good. Great views.
Small b&b kind of in the middle of nowhere with a great view of the glaciers outflow area. Rooms were nice, clean, and had great blackout curtains. The breakfast was good. Staff friendly. There’s horses and sheep in the property next door so it was neat to watch them
Hotel is a gem in the middle of nowhere. Amazing view of the Glacier and an evening relaxing in the hot spring with a glass wine was just perfection. Easy hike to edge of hotel. Hostess was very gracious and helpful. Breakfast simple but tasty, coffee awesome.
The setting is what makes this property exceptional, as it provides a perfect, close view of the nearby glacier, with Icelandic horses in the foreground--absolute epic!
Wonderful hotel, our best experience in Iceland. The rooms were clean, warm and spacious, the view from the room was spectacular. Make sure you use the hot tubs, we used them on our last day in Iceland in the early morning, and that was our most memorable experience.
Everything was great! The receptionist who checked us in - didn’t catch his name - was very kind. I believe, however, that they ran out of the type of rooms we booked and gave us a mobility accessible room instead. I think it should have been mentioned at check in, but no big deal.

Wonderful staff ( they even gave us an electrical converter after ours was lost !), wonderful breakfast and we saw the northern lights! Perfect stay!
This guesthouse is located in an extremely beautiful location and is by itself so that it feels very private. Guests have access to the hot spring pools, which are lovely and, again, just in the best location. The scenery is amazing. The staff is wonderful and helpful and the rooms are very nice.
We were excited to stay here because of the view of the glacier, and enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and we had a beautiful view of horses and caribou! grazing just outside our window in a grassy field. We could also see the glacier off in the distance from our room window and from the dining room and deck right off the dining area. The breakfast had lots of choices. The staff was very friendly and communicative with us. We highly recommend!
