It would have been helpful if each shared bathroom had a shower. There were not enough showers. But otherwise a great stay.

Getting to the guesthouse was a bumpy ride, be careful midway as there is a big difference in elevation, our suv most definitely hit the ground pretty hard. Other than this instance, the host was sweet and greeted me and gave me a tour for the guesthouse. The room was quaint and the facilities were clean. There is a hot tub in the back but i wasn’t able to check it out, though it wouldve been nice if I wasnt so tired. Would recommend! :)

Cabins were nice and clean. The area is off of the ring road so it is a little secluded which we thought was perfect. Only issue was we stayed in mid September and the restaurant was closed and the other restaurant in town was also closed. The convenience store did have hot food which worked out fine.

The bed and bedding was really comfortable. I really liked having a sink in my room. The guesthouse was easy to get to and staff was friendly and very helpful. I also like that staff was here at check in.

This place was a fantastic end stop along the Ring Road of Iceland on or way to Reykjavik. It is spotlessly clean, well appointed for friends traveling together or families and very quiet. The people are very nice and we would definitely come back.

The property is located about 12km from Route 1 and quite a scenic drive. We booked two cabins (two couples) and both were in great condition. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure of the shower was good. It was also one of the few places during our Iceland ring road tour that provided shampoo/bodywash which was nice.

Our check-in was a disaster. Got our keys, went to our cabin, and it wasn't made up. Went down the hill, got keys to a different cabin, and it wasn't made up, either. The man who handled our check-in- a very nice Croat- went back up with me and opened doors until he found a cabin that was ready for occupancy. We ended up in a triple, so not a lot of floor space. The common kitchen is at the campsite, which is a bit of a hike and a steep hill from the cabins. There is also no oven and no microwave- just stovetop, sink, and grill.

The hotel was difficult to locate, In the middle of no where. Thanks to the GPS on our phone we found it. They did not provide breakfast. Had to find a place.

We got in late and left early and didn't get to see or do much. Staff was very friendly. Sharing bathroom was something I was not use to doing but it worked out.
