We stayed in one of the cabins and there was plenty of room for the 3 of us. Comfortable accommodations. The area is beautiful and quiet. Staff were helpful and breakfast was great. We only stayed 1 night on our trip around the ring road but we would have been comfortable staying here much longer.

Great place to stay. Staff are all kind and wonderful. Only frustration is that price for breakfast advertised on Expedia is very wrong and is actually over double. 30.000+ vs 15.000 ISK.

It was quiet and peaceful. The cottage was a bit warm and there were no screens on the windows, so we had to close the windows so bugs wouldn't come in. It was clean and the staff were very good .

Easy to find, easy to eat more than needed

Easy to find - easy to check-in, nice room and WC very close-by. The provided breakfast set the bar for all the guesthouses we stayed in, with a greater variety of options - easy to get more than needed, as there were so many great things to choose from.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place was ok for a one-night stay, but felt pretty cheap for a hotel that actually wasn’t that cheap. We got a room with a private bathroom and ate at their restaurant area since they have no shared kitchen space. The food wasn't good at all, but the staff was extremely friendly and let many people order food even though the kitchen was supposed to close. We decided not to stick around for breakfast since the dinner food was so mediocre, so I couldn’t comment on if it's worth the extra price.

Very clean room, spacious and a very polite, friendly and warm host. The family running the guesthouse does everything with love and you can see that! Breakfast is a great. Only thing, maybe a kettle could be handy. I'd love to make a coffee and hot water can help with that.
