Basic, fine for a night. No luxury/comfort. Room- bathroom lacked shampoo, etc. One pillow, and bedding not great. Breakfast - very basic. Communication before we arrived was super helpful as we were arriving late but little interaction when there even when trying to hand key back in. Beautiful view of glacier.

We saw northern lights from the road. The room was spacious. The drain wasn’t great, the TV didn’t work and there was no hear, it was really cold. The location was magnificent!

The property was really nice and located right by the Glacier. Please be aware of the geothermal pool hours as they do have operating hours which you can find on Google. The tubs closed at 9:30p and we were disappointed since it’s not clear on any website what those are unless you specifically find it on Google. Staff was friendly and breakfast good. Great views.

Nice stay. Room had good blackout curtains
Small b&b kind of in the middle of nowhere with a great view of the glaciers outflow area. Rooms were nice, clean, and had great blackout curtains. The breakfast was good. Staff friendly. There’s horses and sheep in the property next door so it was neat to watch them

Hotel is a gem in the middle of nowhere. Amazing view of the Glacier and an evening relaxing in the hot spring with a glass wine was just perfection. Easy hike to edge of hotel. Hostess was very gracious and helpful. Breakfast simple but tasty, coffee awesome.

The setting is what makes this property exceptional, as it provides a perfect, close view of the nearby glacier, with Icelandic horses in the foreground--absolute epic!

Wonderful hotel, our best experience in Iceland. The rooms were clean, warm and spacious, the view from the room was spectacular. Make sure you use the hot tubs, we used them on our last day in Iceland in the early morning, and that was our most memorable experience.

Everything was great! The receptionist who checked us in - didn’t catch his name - was very kind. I believe, however, that they ran out of the type of rooms we booked and gave us a mobility accessible room instead. I think it should have been mentioned at check in, but no big deal.
