Great value for the stay. A bit off the beaten path but with nice restaurant and deck and good sized rooms. Probably a good location for northern lights too. We will come back if in the area.

Nice room and shower, more Northern American style than a lot of other hotels in Iceland. Lots of areas to place your luggage so that it was not on the floor.

It was a nice quiet hotel and quite accommodating. I had a mixup in my reservation, making it for the wrong date, but they were able to give me a room and refund the wrong date, despite the non-refund policy. They have a good breakfast. The rooms were nice and clean. I would definitely stay here again.

Single room is great for a solo traveler

Great stay for a solo traveler, like I was. The room is similar to a college dorm but I am traveling solo so I didn't need some huge space. Bathroom is clean and nice. Breakfast is the same as everywhere else while traveling in Iceland, basically a huge charcuterie board. I would book again if traveling solo

For the price l paid, I expected better, in the sense that, the mattress was uncomfortable, the thermo in the room didn't work, the kettle either. At 6am the fire alarm woke us all up for nothing. Breakfast was of low quality and the desserts non-existent apart from a chocolate cake. I took a beer 33cl in the can price 1250isk- 8,65€

Headline: fine for a night, not more. Its a quaint horse farm by the volcanic ridge, but the term "hótel" is misleading - its a nice hostel, not a hotel. The bathrooms are laeger than the rooms in the guest houses, I cant speak to the cottages. Note, there is no cold storage on site. The beds were very, very small (and I am 5' 3"). The room was nice but mildewy and a bit cold. The staff kept is pretty clean otherwise. I had to bother the front desk several times about how to check in, but they were accommodating, although their duties were split between on-site restaurant and hostle, so it was hard to find people. Basically it was fine for 1 night, more than that and your back would hurt. The scenery by thr farm was beautiful. I was here in high summer, in winter i imagine this place would be very uncomfortable.
