Great value for money, clean facilities, and a good location.

It’s really cozy and they have their restaurant. The room is so clean and cozy. They also have sheep’s goats and Icelandic horse that you can visit.

Check-in was at the restaurant counter, and check-in times are the same as the restaurant's operating hours. The automated email stated a shorter check-in window, but I called and confirmed that you can check in anytime before the restaurant closes. The room was huge and beautiful, with a kitchen and living room. Each room is a standalone house, and all the amenities are great. The privacy is excellent, and there's even a small swallow's nest – perfect for a vacation!

We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom houses for two nights, and had a great stay. Very clean and well furnished accommodations, friendly staff, and the restaurant on site had great food, including the buffet breakfast. The only small negative I would say is that the windows and glass doors do not have any type of blinds or curtains so not much in the way of privacy if that’s something you’re concerned about, since the other houses are 25’-75’ away from each other.

Perfect service, location is beyond, food for watching the northern light!

The rooms are amazing, the beds are really comfortable and everything is very modern. We arrived late at night and were still able to check in so that removed a lot of the pressure for us on the road.

This was a gem in the region. We booked this last minute on our day in the Snæfellsnes peninsula and boy was it a good choice. They have both independent cottages ( more expensive) and shared accommodation, but the shared accomodation was way more than we expected. Everything from the room, bathrooms and the kitchen/common area setup was amazing and for the price it was good value for money. You also have a restaurant and a bar in the resort, but we decided to cook so we did not really buy anything there. The icing on the cake was the hot tub which was included in the price and was well worth it. Perfect spot to relax after driving for 500kms!

Stayed here for two nights and booked two rooms in preparation for a wedding. Excellent accommodations and dinner at the restaurant was very good. Loved the spa and steam room.

It was a great experience to stay in this hotel. The room was good and the equipment was sufficient. You can relax and have fun there.

To walk into our accommodation and be greeted with multiple signs outlining extra fees and rules when we paid over $300 for 1 night is absurd. Apparently here you are expected to do all dishes and fully clean the kitchen- this is not acceptable for what advertises itself as a luxury hotel. There was not even coffee provided for the morning. There was a large ikea storage bag left in our room by the cleaning staff.

We requested two single beds in our booking and they were not single but together as a queen (not matching photos), and there was a mattress topper that was soiled with what looks like bodily fluids. The staff was able to reconfigure the beds but did not provide a new or clean mattress topper.

No towels are provided for the geothermal pool and you are explicitly told not to use them and instead to rent an additional one for $10+ USD. Another sign warns you not to contact the front desk for non emergencies overnight and outlines the fee for such a call!

Never have I spent so much for a hotel for so little value and such a nickel and diming experience. To not even provide coffee in the morning is a terrible experience for guests. I would highly recommend against staying here unless you find a steep discount.

I will say we had an excellent experience with the two employees we interacted with who were kind, helpful, and wonderful to talk to. This review is not a reflection on them but on the policies and cleanliness of the hotel.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
