Reviews
You can hear the voices next door. It's not a hotel, it's a regular room. There's a room right next door.
Spacious common areas, ample room, and breakfast is provided.
It's a great guesthouse, even though it's Icelandic in price!
We stayed in house #3. The rooms are clean, spacious and warm. The kitchen is equipped with the basic supplies you might need.
Nearby you can see very beautiful waterfalls. We even got lucky and saw the Aurora!
Short drive to the waterfall and much more to see 😍
20 minutes to drive and you are in the town 🙌🏾
We enjoyed our time here and will be back for sure .
Thanks you for the amazing hospitality 🌹🙏
The view was stunning.
The road to the property is cratered and care needs to be taken. The bathroom could do with a refresh, but everything was clean, tidy and worked.
We'd visit again.
