Verified review

8/10 Very good

Clean room with a nice staff. Safe place to sleep in beautiful scenery but bare bones on amenities and 30 minutes outside town.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Clean and comfortable hotel in a quiet and beautiful area. Be aware that the address is Egilsstadir, but the property is a good 20-30 minutes outside the town. We did not opt to pay extra for the provided breakfast but that is available as well.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

This felt a bit like a caravan, more than a guesthouse. Still, clean and staff were friendly. Pretty long way down a dirt road (not my favorite driving experience). Breakfast was just okay - not really worth the extra cost, but no other options in the area
Verified review

6/10 Good

An okay place on the outskirts of Egilsstaðir, we stayed in our own cabin. The nature surrounding this place is Great, a car is a must. I believe the place could be fancied up a bit more to be even better. But everything needed was required.

We enjoyed a good night’s sleep, which is what we needed on our road trip around Iceland. The cabin was spacious and comfortable after it was heated. The property is located 6 miles off route 1 in a secluded location.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Room was very comfortable with a full kitchen! Parking was right outside our room. Camping spots are available as well. Property is not where hotels.com states. It is a good 30-40 minutes away from the town, off the main road and then about 5 miles on a dirt road. I had to call for directions because the map on hotels.com took me to an empty farm field. Restaurant is available but make sure to come early as it’s served until 8:30pm. Actually everything in town closes early. So don’t wait to eat in this town if you’re coming in late. Couldn’t find any food at 9:30pm. Breakfast was small and just cold items. Staff was great. Good property overall!

10/10 Exceptional

The cabin was spacious and clean. The shower was right across from the sink which was a little weird. Overall, it worked ok. Definitely on the rustic side. The staff was friendly and helpful. We ate dinner at their restaurant and got soup, pasta, and bacon burger. It was all delicious. Ate breakfast there in the morning and it was also good and convenient.

Very quiet location. The staff made an effort to make us feel welcome. The surroundings are great too. We were happy that they also offered dinner and breakfast service. Note that the location shown on Expedia is not where the hotel is but it’s rather a 30 min drive from egilstadir. Check Google Maps for the correct location along route 917

We stayed in one of the cabins and there was plenty of room for the 3 of us. Comfortable accommodations. The area is beautiful and quiet. Staff were helpful and breakfast was great. We only stayed 1 night on our trip around the ring road but we would have been comfortable staying here much longer.
