Reviews
Surrounding : Very quiet , near a lake which offer good morning view. Managed to catch a great northern light over there during our stay.
Location : 5km away from hofn.
Owner : I guess he is very flexible in the checking in. Informed us of the check in details 1 day before we arrived.
even room s clean and the landlord lady was nice, dog s nice, the lake a nice. But!!! The kitchen and the room has lots of tiny blood sucking bugs. if we saw this sign before we will definitely not stay here. The sign s not true, we got bite so bad in the morning n noon too
we got 'eaten' alive the whole night even we did not open the window as instructed.
in iceland stayed everywhere, this s the only place like this. not a weather or climate thing. 😩 it has bugs!! lots of them. horrible!
Worst place we ever stay in
