We stayed 1 night and given that its many miles to anywhere else decided to have dinner. There wasnt a choice for dinner it was chicken wrapped in bacon with chips and veg but is was very very tasty and very welcome after a long day on the road. However the price we were charged for a basic meal was... More

We stayed one night at this country farm hotel and enjoyed it very much. The setting of the hotel is located on a farm surrounded by beautiful countryside views. We were greeted by the family dog upon our arrival and later she took a walk with us around the property. The entryway into the building where the rooms are housed... More

Atlhough nothing fancy, we enjoyed warm hospitality, comfortable accommodations, impeccable housekeeping, and delicious meals at breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was a delicious and yummy spread of yogurt, cereals, meat, cheese, breads etc. etc., and dinner was equally tasty. Convenient location between Skantafell National Park and Hofn on the ring road (highway one). Only area for improvement would be the addition... More

Very welcoming atmosphere, people happy to talk and help with anything. Dining room is above average for Iceland - it seems they try to cater to people who want more than cold ham and cheese for breakfast. There was actually eggs and bacon for breakfast (I never saw this again at any other small guesthouse - even in Reykjavik.) The... More

Rooms are clean and adequately equipped. Location is not ideal unless planning a trip up onto glacier following a stay here. Breakfast buffet poor vs other hotels charging this much. Disappointing, continue on to Hofn. More

Very good hotel, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good and rich, rooms are pleasant. Good location, however if you miss dinner in the hotel (served until 8pm) the closest location is Hofn, about 50 km away. The hotel is very close to the glacier, and not far from there you can get snowmobile tours on theVatnajokull glacier (from the... More

Of all the places we stayed in South Iceland, this one had the best blackout curtains at night -- we could actually get the room DARK despite the midnight sun. I give a 4/5 for sleep quality only because, as with most hotels in Iceland, there is no true double bed -- only two singles pushed together. But there was... More

We stayed here only 1 night but it was our favourite hotel in iceland. Staff were very friendly and our room was lovely and overlooked the sea. We had dinner there which was delicious and the breakfast buffet was second to none. More

Breakfast - great. Usual things and waffles! Evening buffet - expensive - 5400 Kr- but delicious. Lots of variety from catfish to sheep head jelly (which we didn't try) There was also a veg and a beef lasagne, a lamb stew, seafood casserole and potato wedges. Lamb or seafood soup too. Cheesecake, pavlova, fruit salad, fresh cream Our room was... More
