"What an interesting stay. We loved it. We stayed in the haytower. The place was so cool. They created a wonderful lodging out of an old building that in the late 30’s housed farm animals and upstairs kept hay for the livestock. It now has all the conveniences of home with kitchen,washer dryer, dishwasher,fridge,microwave, large tv. Upstairs has 2 twins with views of a waterfall as well as the coastline on the opposite side. Roomy shower. Fun stay. We could have stayed a week or more. Did not get to try out the hot tub. Next time.😊"

"The location is breathtaking; the log cabin style building, gorgeous. No staff except 1 cleaner who looks like they hate life; no front desk, no one to call (though the flyer gives a phone#, nobody answers); no one answered our emails. We arrived early and asked to check in early, no response from anyone; waited 5 hours in the living room until they finally emailed our key code (the building was entirely empty of guests, so no reason to not let us check in early-rude). The hot tub was broken the entire week. We requested they turn up our shower water heat as it was only warm the first day. They gave us a room with a single queen; I booked 1 with 2 twins and requested they give us a different room or a refund. The housekeepers immediately came over and went into the room and split the bed (it was just 2 twins pushed together!!; beware if you booked a queen). The breakfast was alright, and they had a phenomenal tea selection and a coffee machine (that would only spit out about 4 oz of coffee per time which ig is common in Iceland). The windows were absolutely filthy; they should hire a pro to clean them. No sheet on the bed just a blanket and comforter. 1 small tv close to the ceiling that worked. The room above us was very squeaky whenever the other guests walked around. World's smallest fridge that only fit about 2 beers. Price was nice but I wouldn't stay here again given no staff anywhere on or offsite and nobody seemed to care about the premises (gutters leaked)"

"Sauna and hot tub were great. Room was basic but very comfortable and clean. Staff was very friendly and the restaurant had very good food! If we are fortunate enough to visit Iceland again we will definitely be staying here!"

"The hotel is new and beautiful. Ample parking outside and across the street from some shops, including grocery store. Our room (room 210) was very spacious and the bathroom was big with a huge tub. The breakfast spread was good with cereals, eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurt, pastries, etc. Definitely enough to fill you up in the morning. We also ate at the restaurant and the food was delicious (steak meal). We picked this spot to be closer to the attractions in the south/south east and to hopefully have a better chance of clear, dark skies to see the northern lights. Following the aurora app we drove about 10 minutes away and were able to capture the northern lights. This was such a nice hotel and great area to be in. I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m back. "

"This hotel saved us during a bad snowstorm. It looks unassuming from outside, but the room was very comfortable and the food is excellent. They had the best lamb we had in Iceland! The breakfast was a good selection and also high quality. The staff was lovely and accommodating when we made a last minute reservation. We didn't have Northern Lights the night we were there, but this would be a great location for spotting them. "

"Due to the storm that hit the eveing of our stay there was a bit of water being pushed into the cabin. The host provided a few towels which sorted everything. Great little place for our roadtrip. Host was easy to communicate with."

"The cottage is a very nice accommodation with everything one needs. It is nicely situated in a quiet area and still close to major south coast attractions. Highly recommended"

"This was a beautiful experience to see the northern lights. However, the self check in was a bit confusing. I wasn’t aware of the process. I was expecting to see and speak with a live person. However, the number given for help was very helpful."

"Nice space. "
