We stayed in the cabins here. They were functional but a little more rustic that we expected. Shared hot tubs were good but one was not filled so hot tubs were a little crowded at times. Wireless internet on the property but did not reach to our cabin. There is a nice shared "lodge" with jigsaw puzzles, toys for young kids, more room (sofas and recliners) and internet -- we hung out there rather than in the cabin, which was rather small/cozy. Coordination for arrival was easy and generally the staff here are excellent (not native Icelanders but friendly and wanted to make sure our needs were being met). The location is in a rural area, so parking and access is very easy. Location is very easy to find and fairly near Golden Circle sites but far enough away to feel you have Iceland to yourself after the crowds at Gullfoss and Geysir. Dinner at restaurant was fine but not remarkable. Probably would not actively seek it out again but if it suited our plans, would happily stay again.

The property is actually over a 20 minute drive from Selfoss. Buy anything you want to cook prior to going to the property as there is nothing nearby/remote. The staff informed us not to open the windows due to biting flies....which made the rooms hot. There were no screens. If you want to cook in the rooms bring every consumable that you need. The restaurant is nice and prices are consistent with the rest of Iceland. We did enjoy our stay here and would stay at here again.

Pleasant Stay
Decent location, it's a small cluster of cottages quite close together, so you have some privacy, but just some. Place was clean and kitchen has good utensils and cooking tools. It's about 20 mins from Selfoss if you want to buy your own groceries, or prefer not to eat at the restaurant on-site. Only complaint was a missing curtain in one of the living room windows. Rooms were also REALLY small, so no room for your luggage. Overall a pleasant stay.

Do not stay here.
Do not go here. Bug infestation in room. We have bites all over our bodies. Could not sleep because of the bugs. Landscaping is a mess. Paths not clear to walk on. Food is terrible.

Well maintained; friendly and helpful staff; good restaurant. I know most places in Iceland don’t have screens on windows but it would sure help. We left windows open for some fresh air overnight but wound up with numerous bug bites. We researched what it could have been and it seems Iceland has biting mites of some kind. Not the property’s fault, obviously, but screens on windows would help.

We stayed here on our last night in Iceland, having had very nice experiences everywhere else. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience here. The floor inside the front door of the cabin was extremely slippery - like sheer ice - and several of us slipped as soon as we stepped off the entryway rug. I broke a toe as a result of sliding on the floor. Also, while my daughter was showering, the shower head fell on her head. It was the only place we stayed that offered zero amenities in terms of coffee/tea. While there is a kitchen, we would have had to purchase even basic items if we had wanted to cook. Also, we had four people and only two of the four beds had sheets on them. Unfortunately we cannot recommend this property.
