Great breakfast! Very pretty scenery, quiet, peaceful. The building is older. Wrong address was posted on hotels.com. It has been fixed after we called and had to drive 30min to the correct location

Be aware that this is not IN Selfoss; it is about 25 minutes outside the town. It is nearly impossible to see the unmarked driveway. The facility is fine if you don't mind self check-in. Luckily for us the owner/manager was there so we got to enjoy the bar and a human connection. Breakfast was good with plenty of food choices. Unfortunately our room had only one of the two small lights over the bed that worked; however the working light, and the overhead, were so dim as to be mostly useless, and impossible to read by. The overhead in the bathroom didn't work either. The sheets and the pillows smelled musty or moldy - I understand that the weather in Iceland is difficult but I have stayed in the country many times and never had problems with hotel linens before. On the other hand, the hot tub and the sauna were excellent and a good place to be outside of the room.

This was a great place to stay, although a little bit out of the way, still within striking distance of Selfoss. Being out in the sticks a bit I believed helped in our viewing of the northern lights while we were there - that was awesome. Bed was really comfy and the room well equipped. The shower was interesting since there was no door or curtain on one side so challenging to keep the water from going everywhere!! Hot tub was really nice - very relaxing - and the shared “kitchen/bar” area worked well - we did not have their breakfast but were abl to make coffee for ourselves. Did not try the sauna but other guests were in and out of it so I assume was good. After checking in, we did not see any staff again so difficult to say whether they were good or not, although good efficient check in process. We enjoyed staying there.

Too far out from town, room small and overpriced for what you get, if you like being on a horse ranch then this is the place to stay,

The hotel was once a farm and it is located in a picturesque area. Very relaxing. No TV in the rooms. Wonderful meals cooked for us and a lot of support fro my gluten-free vegan wife. The rooms are rather Spartan as is most of Iceland. It is a bit pricey. We were there fir 3 days and it was comforting to come home each day to a quite peaceful place

Excellent staying

첫째날 골든 서클을 관광하고 다음날 스포가코스 등 관광 일정을 소화하기에 위치가 최적입니다. 개인적으로 셀포스에서 숙박하는 것보다 낫다고 생각합니다. 저는 날씨가 좋지않아 보지 못했지만 주위가 조용하고 어두워서 날씨만 도와준다면 충분히 숙소에서도 오로라를 관측할 수 있을 것으로 보입니다. 주인분도 친절했으며 매우 맛있는 아침 식사도 먹을 수 있었습니다. 또한 자쿠지도 있어서 이용할 수 있습니다. 방 컨디션은 매우 청결하고 깔끔하고 따뜻했습니다. 추천합니다. It is best to tour the Golden Circle on the first day and to handle the tour schedule, such as the Spogas on the next day. Personally, I think it's better than staying at the Selfos. I didn't see the weather very well, but it's quiet and dark around, so if you help me with the weather, I think I can see an aurora at home. The owner was kind and could eat a very delicious breakfast. There is also a jacuzzi that you can use. The room was very clean, clean, and warm. Recommend.
