We loved the location as it is situated in the hills. The cottage is modern and a great place to stay the night after a long day of travelling. The check-in instructions are clearly communicated which makes everything very easy. We would definitely recommend this location.

The best hotel we stayed in Iceland. Real nice bedding, clean bathroom and nice lobby with bar open until mid-night. After long day travel, this was the best place to relax and rest. Glad we picked this hotel.

This place was perfect for our mid journey stop en route to northern Iceland. It was so cosy and welcoming, with everything catered to. The owner left us some very useful tips about things to do and see nearby. We had an incredible night here as we got to see the aurora in a cloudless sky for hours!!! The seal watching nearby, the next morning was a bonus.

We drove here bummed because we haven’t seen the northern lights yet. Late at night we heard rumbling outside and the lights were bright and right at in front of our place. Loved this place and its cleanness. My friends and I said we would stay here again.

The units had a nice kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom. They're in a small town, and away from both the ring road and the main street in town enough that you won't hear any noise.

We were given a different room on day of arrival, but still there were many flys. We spent over an hour to catch over 40 flys but the owner only responded with an apology without any actions. Next morning there were more flys and we suspect they were hiding in the ceiling. It was a horrible experience like no other places we stayed in Iceland. Cannot imagine how much worse it will become in summer.
