We stayed in a triple. It was so cute and clean. Tiny bathroom. Slept well. Breakfast was lacking and not great but we loved our cabin! Great location after our glacier hike headed back towards Vik.

would stay here again
for a double bed and shared bathroom: smaller quarters but clean and bright. easy to find and beautiful location, with very friendly guesthouse staff. we didn't get to have dinner there, but the nearby kjarr is very pleasant, with nice waterfall views. for a continental breakfast at the guesthouse, the breakfast was quite good.

This property is a little way off the Ring road, but very quiet. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. They do serve dinner there,however we did not eat at the guesthouse.

We were disappointed to find that for almost twice the cost of our previous accommodation in Hofn the shared bathroom was small. One of our party of three could not fit in the shower cubicle. Room eas small but warm, comfortable and cosy. We HATE the late check in times in Iceland. 3pm or later. Had to ask for extra pillows. 3 yrips to reception in the rain. No roof on the entranceway of the cabin.

Nice Unique place to stay.
Beautiful setting. Rustic but nice cabins. Nice breakfast and we had a good dinner there. We were travelling with our adult daughter and the cabin had two big beds which was nice but having at least a curtain to draw over one of them would have been nice. Also was a little pricey vs other places we stayed with more creature comforts. Overall though a nice place with very nice staff.

The entire property drips rustic charm. Cabins are spotless and comfortable, and the main breakfast area is very clean and comfortable. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and used this property as a base for exploring this part of the country.

Good location when touring the south of the country. We used it on the trip towards the Glacier Lagoon. It has a restaurant which is pretty convenient since there is no other for miles in that part of the road.
