Lilly was super friendly and welcoming like Sept’s stay. Fajitas beef or chicken were super delicious, not too salty or oily albeit different chef, nice to make it in time and had a wonderful dinner. Even saw faint and dispersed northern lights at night right outside the hotel despite a rainy afternoon on the way to hotel. Great spot to stay if one plans to drive full circle of the island

By far the best staff all of Iceland, they were kind as well warm welcoming and were really friendly with my stay. Overall the food was wonderful and would definitely come back if given the opportunity. The 2 gentleman that help with check in and check out service made my stay fell like I was home. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Welcoming staff and very tasty dinner/hot meals that we made it just before kitchen was closed at 8:30pm, lucky too to add the only room left on the flight, paid breakfast was nice. Could not be a better location to the waterfall and we even managed to run 3+ miles late at night in the small road and the parking lot

The location was perfect, right across the street from the falls. In the morning, before the busses and crowds arrive, you can have the waterfall to yourself. I find Godafoss to be one of the most beautiful falls in Iceland. The hotel breakfast, while not included, was very good. A large selection with a beautiful view.

Excellent location right next to Godafoss. Clean and quiet room. Very friendly staff. Dinner was good. Breakfast was good, but we felt it was small and not worth what they charge for it.

Very attentive staff. Host at the reception was very welcoming and even showed us to our room! She talked a little about the waterfalls and the best times to see it without many tourists around. The property itself is wonderful with the backdrop of Godafoss. Bathroom was a little small but met our needs. Room was overall clean and cozy.

Stayed here for just 1 night on our recent trip to Iceland, but next time we'll plan to spend at least a few nights here. The property itself is utterly charming, with a really great little onsite restaurant that serves a nice dinner menu and a solid breakfast buffet. Our room (booked on short notice) was small but very nice and cozy, with a fantastic shower and products. If we go back, we'll look at booking one of the larger rooms, as there are multiple options & layouts available among their 20 rooms. But the real selling point here is the location and setting. Nestled just across the street from the stunning Goldfoss waterfall, the view is breathtaking - even for Iceland, which is chock-full of breathtaking scenery. And it's perfectly located in the centre of the 'Diamond Circle', which you'd want a good 3-4 days to explore properly.
