Convenient location for our travels, we spent the night at the campground portion. Showers were nice and the kitchen area was nice. However, the washing machine was broke and took a long time to wash our load of laundry.

All around, we were unbelievably impressed with this stay. After spending a night in an extremely small hotel in Reykjavik, we were worried about what was to come. This Guesthouse completely changed our trip, and we purposely changed plans to be able to spend more time there. It was clean, very cozy, spacious, and had everything we could need in the kitchenette. Service was exceptional, and all around, the cabin was an excellent stay in all ways. I would highly recommend these guesthouses and campground to anyone staying near Selfoss or the Golden Circle.

The campground was uneven and muddy, no renovation was done after the winter. Took quite a while to get the camper even. No power outages, which is a plus. The outdoor facilities were tired, toilets out of order. But the indoor facilities were fine. Has seen better days, but the location itself is great. I would be fine with the issues above this if the price hadn't doubled since last year.

I liked the guesthouse, and the fact that it was centrally located for many of the things I wanted to see.

Nice campground right in town. Heated kitchen area with plenty of tables and a couple of hot plates and sinks. Three showers in an open area with shower curtains. Everything was clean.

The bedroom size is just perfect. The compact kitchen is super helpfull to do a good meal (you can find everything you need there: cutlery, pan, salt, oil, etc). The bedroom has heater inside the toialet and nearby the bed, and it worked normally.

We dislikedvit so much we checked into another hotel. Very concerned about the bedding and the smell. Would never recommend.

It has all I need, private bathroom, kitchen. There’s grocery stores nearby. And stuff is very nice and helpful!

This tiny cabin had everything you may need for the night (frying pan in good condition (better that few houses we stayed in:), pan, kettle, spatula, olive oil, even hair dryer). Heating system is awesome, warms up the cabin very quickly. Everything was very clean too. Loved it!!!

This guesthouse is rustic cabins in a campground. The owners are pleasant and accommodating. The cabins have a small kitchen area with cooktop and mini fridge plus table and chairs. The bathroom is an adequate size with a shower. The cabin is very warm and has a little porch. There is also a hot tub on premises. The thing we didn’t like here is that the double bed was in an alcove and you had to climb over your partner to get in and out of bed and go to the bathroom. We didn’t get a restful night’s sleep because we do need to go to the bathroom during the night so we were exhausted. The location is in a quiet side street not far from the city center and they offer a breakfast buffet. We didn't know it was a campground when we booked it or else we would have stayed elsewhere.
