We loved our stay. It is in a quiet and remote area with a view that absolutely could not be beat. I wish we would have had more time here for the view alone. The place was clean, easy to access, with a lovely bathroom. Bonus points as well for the adorable and totally sweet yellow lab we met on the property. 5 starts for him alone. Would definitely come stay here again. The only thing I would advise for anyone staying for the first time is to plan ahead for food as options in the area are limited.

Amazing! Best stay!

I couldn’t have been more pleased with my stay in this room. From the moment I walked in, everything felt fresh, clean, and thoughtfully prepared. The room was spacious and well-lit, with a modern yet cozy design that made it feel like a home away from home. Every detail had been considered—from the incredibly comfortable bed and soft linens to the blackout curtains that made for a restful night’s sleep. The room had all the essentials and then some: a mini fridge, coffee maker, charging ports by the bed, strong Wi-Fi, and a smart TV with streaming options. The bathroom was spotless, with plush towels, great water pressure, and high-quality toiletries.

Gorgeous area, far from the madding crowd but close enough to glacier lagoon. Two lovely restaurants nearby - sister hotel next door and Hali restaurant 5minute drive away. Beautiful room, perfect view, great shower, mini fridge and tea and coffee. A wonderful place.

This was my most expensive hotel stay during my trip to Iceland and I was really disappointed. I don't understand why it cost so much when there isn't any staff on site and they don't even have enough parking. Three cars took up the available spots and we had to park just in the lane. There was only one car charger and some jerk kept it the whole time we were there. Plus every time someone walked up the stairs to go to their room they just stared into ours like we were zoo animals on display.

Very clean room with amazing views. Quiet location. There are no shops nearby but the hotel is a 20 min walk away. Best to come prepared with food options. There is a fridge but no real storage, not a problem for us but might be for some.

We LOVED this hotel! The room was spotless, super comfortable beds and amazing views right outside. Behind the "house" there are waterfalls. Location was super close to the Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon. This was our favorite hotel for our trip in Iceland and wish we had the opportunity to stay longer than a night.

all'arrivo c'è un foglietto scarno... le bevande pensavo fossero incluse perchè sul foglietto scarno non c'era scritto niente a proposito... alla prenotazione mi sembrava ci fosse una sorta di sauna di cui non ho trovato traccia... servizio tutto self check impersonale e ovviamente freddo... non ci tornerei anche se la vista e il posto sono belli

Cozy property at a perfect location

We liked the property, room was spacious and clean. Location is perfect. We also used the 10% discount to the sister hotel. Host sent the room unlocking instructions on time. We felt comfortable and would recommend this property

A lovely room in a location convenient to the glacier and beach. The views are beautiful, especially the waterfall on the back side of the property which was visible from our shower. The area is not very close to gas and food options, but the hotel across the street had a wonderful breakfast buffet.

Beautiful scenery from our bedroom window...including glaciers and the views of the icebergs floating in the lake. The room also had a view of several waterfalls. Beware of the summer no-see-ums.

I have ordered this property using Orbitz, the description does not show details about check in procedure. Orbitz did not send information about the unit and access. As a result we stuck at the door and had to read small letters about the option to get access. Frustrating situation. In general we get very ordinary room for the price of luxury hotel. Not to roomy, not cozy, not comfortable. The location is beautiful and the owner was nice to sent e-mail with detailed information how to find a property (not to get access to the unit). The location is beautiful. The shower is good. Parking is tricky, depends on how late you are. On spots may be occupied. I will avoid renting this property, rather book luxury hotel across the road (hosted by the same family).

Good: Room was excellent: spacious, clean, comfortable, view from window, chair and small table to sit at, big TV. It's a very nice room in an expensive area, no more, no less Could improve: cars could park in front of window partially blocking view; somewhere to prepare a simple meal as very limited opportunities to eat elsewhere relatively cheaply. Update the door opening instructions.
