The cabin we were in was actually 5km away from the main check-in building but the employee was super helpful and gave us the exact location for it on Google maps. The accommodations were clean and comfy with a nice seating area, tv, balcony, and good quality products in the shower. We had a lovely view of the river. The kitchen is less than 100ft away and very spacious for dining.

Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We had dinner on the first night and the food was excellent. My wife does not eat meat and they made a fish dish and had plenty of veggie options.

Nice place

This was the only place to stay around the area so we booked it. The place was nice enough. It's a shared bathroom among 5 rooms with a full kitchen. The place is a little older, but the rooms were clean.

We stayed in a nice new wing of the property. We didn’t see any staff at all, key was left in the door for us and we were instructed to leave it in the door when departing. There is no restaurant or cafe on site, 35 minutes one way to closest place. Luckily we had supplies from the grocery store with us and made do after a long day on the road. Facilities were clean and it is a very quiet location to say the least.

Plenty of easy parking in front of the hotel. Not as close to the lake as we thought and shame it was extra to use the sauna and hot tubs. Room was clean, bathroom was modern and slept great with black out curtains.

The check-in process was confusing. Check-in was supposed to begin at 3 but the person reception seemed surprised that we wanted to check in that early. After that all was good.

Room was extremely small, not even any room to put your suitcase. The walls were very thin, I could hear the people using the restroom in the next room.

The rooms are not located where the main facility is. In fact, when we arrived at the reception they told us that the rooms were 6km far away from the reception (on a terrible dirt road!!). They should have told us before also because there were people coming from that way and they had to make 6km two times.

Romote area with long drive. Totally not worth it

The room booked is 10km bumpy road away from their reception on map and from main road to their reception is also miles of dirty bumpy road. The location on Hotels.com is very misleading or deceptive. There is no dinning facility or any stores within 10 kms. The room we stayed with private bath is small and has noise (like fan or air flow) all the time from the roof. Both front and back door can not be locked from either inside or outside.Not very good experience after a long day.

Grimstunga is a hotel that is about 10km from the reception area, which was startling at first because there is literally nothing around. After a day of driving and walking through Iceland, we were certain we’d find nothing as we drove down a very empty dirt road. But there it was! The rooms are small and there are some issues with the hot/cold water (at least in room 2), but it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast is prepared by the family that lives near the reception area and owns the hotel for a surcharge. It was plentiful and had a little of everything. The people who own the hotel, however, are absolute gems. Our rental car company gave us a car that was low on oil, making the light turn on. With the closest gas station a half hour away, we started getting nervous as it was a big driving day. The owner checked the oil and filled it for us from his personal stores. He even offered to speak to the rental car company on our behalf to have the price of the oil refunded. If you’re looking for very quiet, remote, clean rooms, Grimstunga is the place to go. If you want to meet some incredibly kind and helpful people, Grimstunga is also the place.

Sehr netter Eigentümer, der uns viele gute Tipps gegeben hat. Wir waren in der Nebensaison da und es wurde kein Frühstück angeboten. Man sollte deshalb frühzeitig daran denken einzukaufen, weil die Unterkunft ab vom Schuss ist.
