Stayed here twice during my Iceland trip. It’s a peaceful, cozy place that makes a great base for exploring the South Coast.
Pros
* Extremely quiet, peaceful, and relaxing.
* Cozy, comfortable rooms with a nice cabin feel.
* Beautiful setting beside the river.
* Easy to access and close to Hella.
* Great location if you’re taking buses to/from the Highlands.
* A perfect place to rest and recharge after a long day outdoors.
Opportunities for Improvement
* A few maintenance and attention-to-detail items:
* No bedside table.
* Bedside lights flickered.
* TV remote was missing.
* Window blinds didn’t work properly.
* Door locks were a bit confusing and finicky.
* Breakfast was a little underwhelming. More variety and better coffee would make a noticeable difference.
* My biggest piece of feedback is the fragrance used on the bedding. I’m somewhat sensitive to scents, but this was much stronger than anywhere else I stayed in Iceland. The perfume smell actually woke me up during the night. I’d strongly recommend switching to an unscented or more neutral laundry detergent, as I think it would improve the experience for many guests.
Overall
This is a charming, peaceful place in a beautiful setting, and I’d happily stay here again. With a little more attention to the small details, it could easily be a 5-star experience.
