The communications with the team were great, and when checking in Pawel was excellent in helping us with a challenge we had. We found the rooms to be relatively tight, you can hear your neighbor through the walls, you can't control how much the windows are open if there's a strong wind, and it takes 10 minutes or so to get to the main road. But the views are spectacular and the area is very peaceful, so it just depends on what you're looking for. Also, you do drive through a mossy lava field, so you see a lot more than you do from the roadside pull-off.

We unfortunately had an issue getting in with the code that was presented? I tried calling the no with no answer then sent an email and no answer, it was only when my husband located someone in the laundry room and he worked there so he entered a different master code and then we got in, we had an issue with the wifi as it was very weak and the tv kept cutting out, we also had to assist another guest as they didn’t know how to work the stove, we also had an issue with the toaster as every time we tried to pop it down it blew the main breaker so ended up fry toasting our bread. But it was very comfortable and clean

Loved this apartment! Great views from the property. We had about 15 minutes of drive off the main road on a gravel road which looked scary at first because the entire road looked so deserted. But we soon found out these types of roads are pretty common in Iceland. We were glad we already had brought groceries so we didn't have to go search for one around. But beautiful property and worth the price we paid. Enjoyed the morning coffee with the mountain view

Unfortunately, this stay was not what we expected. The apartment itself was nice, but the location and setup made our experience less enjoyable. The road to get there is a very long gravel road, which became uncomfortable and time-consuming every time we wanted to go in or out. We felt like we lost a lot of time just getting back to the property. Another thing we didn’t love was the lack of privacy. The apartment has windows everywhere and feels a little bit like a glass house. Even though there are curtains, we still felt very exposed and like people could easily see inside from different angles. Overall, it may work for some travelers who want something very remote and don’t mind the extra driving, but for us it wasn’t the best fit.

Free ample parking, easy access to room, kitchenette to cook/ heat up meals, no staff on property but runs efficiently- they respond to requests in a timely manner. A bit expensive considering the 7 km unpaved road though it is an easy drive- no issues there

You're really in the "middle of nowhere" and that's a fantastic feeling. The road towards the hotel is a gravel road (>4km). Make sure to bring your own food because there is nothing to find around. This really is a fantastic location

Great hotel choice for the area!

The hotel was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Lots of outlets too. The employees were very responsive when we needed something. It’s remote but most places are in that area of Iceland. I would definitely stay there again!

Why does this apartment complex exist in the middle of literally nowhere? We don't know, but it was very nice! As we drove toward it, we were questioning whether it actually existed because it's far down a smooth dirt road surrounded by literally nothing. The room was very nice, clean, shower was great, kitchenette had plates, cups, utensils for 4, a nice couch and TV. We loved our stay.

Omg! This place is amazing! While it is in the middle of nowhere down a long gravel drive, it's perfectly situated between Vic & The Glacier Lagoon. It's brand new and as you walk in the entry and bathroom have heated floors! The host is very thoughtful.
