Absolutely gorgeous property. Would def stay again. Beds weren’t too hard like a lot of hotel type properties. Fully equipped kitchen and it was so nice to stay here.

Beautiful location and very convenient if traveling between south coast and golden circle. Adorable cottage perfect for a family and super clean. Only thing to beware of is decision about dinner. They offer a set menu which comes out to $60 usd per person (even children). After reading other reviews, we decided to try it expecting something really amazing and Icelandic. While the food we received tasted good and there was nothing inherently wrong with it, we were absolutely shocked at the price point for what we received... chicken curry with rice (like we make in slow cooker at home) along with some basic mushroom soup and average salad. While Iceland is known to be expensive, when we spent this amount of money at restaurants all over, it was for wow-factor food and alcohol included. This was by far the most underwhelming meal of our trip and one of the most expensive. I'm sure some of their meals are sure to be worth it and taste excellent, but if you are going to commit to that amount of money on a meal (the price per plate of expensive fine dining), then it would probably be best to know what it is ahead of time. I know we would have never chosen that meal and price had we been told. Overall, this is a lovely spot and I highly recommend as a place to stay as long as you plan ahead for dinner :)

The staff were very friendly! Signage was easy to follow. The cottage was very spacious and had a great view. We had a cat visitor during our stay. They have a hot tub which was clean and easy to access. Overall great experience and value!

I stayed at this hotel in February 2025 for two nights, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. Starting with the bad: Broken heater in Room 6: Upon arrival, the host, Stefano, explained that the individual thermostat in the room controls the temperature, and that it takes about two hours for the room to adjust. Despite following the instructions and increasing the temperature on both nights, the room remained cold and uncomfortable. It became clear that the heater wasn't functioning properly. I informed Stefano, who came to check the room, acknowledged the coldness, and apologized for the inconvenience. Cold and humid room: The room felt damp and uncomfortable, which made it difficult to relax. Outdated amenities: The value for money was disappointing. The hotel charges high prices for rooms with outdated features, including a leaking sink in the bathroom, which made the overall experience feel far below expectations. Ending with the good: Cleanliness: The hotel places a strong emphasis on cleanliness, which I appreciated. Guests are encouraged to use slippers within the hotel, ensuring a higher standard of hygiene. In conclusion, I had high expectations, but the combination of a broken heater, cold and damp room, and high prices made this stay incredibly disappointing. I would not recommend this hotel unless these issues are addressed. and Staff is gaslighting you after presenting excuses for the discomfort.

Great property to see the northern lights in winters. The property recently built a new wing with very modern, clean and practical rooms. You can't go wrong with this property.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here and loved it. Staff are wonderful, rooms are clean, the breakfast is good.

A wonderful horse farm on a beautiful country road. Cute private cottages with a porch and adequate kitchen. We were there in the winter and lucky enough to see the northern lights from the porch. Easy to drive to nearby towns for sightseeing or groceries. Best breakfast buffet of the three places we stayed in Iceland.

This was our second stay here - We love it. The cabins are comfortable and in a great location.

This was our favorite stay on our entire journey of 8 nights and 6 different hotels. The food was amazing! When I got home I cooked lamb goulash and scalloped potatoes. It wasn't as good as yours, but reminded me of our wonderful stay. Thanks.

Amazing and beautiful property

We stayed in the single cabin room/suite (of which there are 8 on the hillside). You take a nice paved road in from highway 1 until you reach the guesthouse area. Everyone is super friendly and the rooms are comfortable and quaint. We purchased the breakfast add-on and that was delicious. It was a great experience as part of our travels.

One of our favorite stays in Iceland! The main house has great dining options (dinner and breakfast) as well as a very friendly and accommodating staff. Walking around the property and petting some of the horses completed the experience. The guest houses were beautiful, clean, and secluded from the daily hustle. Highly recommended lodging in Iceland.

Amazing little gem in Iceland. Located close to route 1 but feels like you are in the country side. Best place we have stayed so far.

Cabin 3 needs to have the lock replaced since the strong winds have damaged it. Otherwise, very tranquil and idyllic lands. Curious horses, cats, and farm animals will beg for food by approaching you.

It was amazing, super friendly staff, we took advantage of the laundry service and breakfast. The laubdry service was quick and all our clothes were neatly packed. Breakfast was good, with several options to choose from.

We got a 2brm unit. I was really nice and staff were great. Being honest our son showered for 10mins a then the next person got a minute and it was arctic water. The three of us left had to boil pots of water and bathe. It was an experience. You need to book ahead if you want dinner on site at 7pm as there is nothing else in the area to eat or shop before you arrive and there is a little kitchen with everything you need to prepare a meal. The breakast/dinner which you have to drive too is beautiful, cosy hall and the breakfast food was great. Overall a really nice experience.

I enjoyed our brief stay here. The hot tub was an especially nice feature. The property has a shoes off policy at the front door just to be aware.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, very clean. The rooms are nicely decorated and very comfortable beds. One of our favorite things is no shoes when entering the place. We would definitely recommend this place.

We enjoy our stay. We showed up later than we had hoped. We had not made reservations for dinner but were assured there was plenty for us. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Beautiful surroundings!
