The host was great in greeting in person. The staff was extremely helpful. Didn't know there was limited kitchenware so could not make food on own. The staff went beyond to help me sort out the problem :)

Nice host, nice living room/ common area to sit. Did not get breakfast. The room we had was just too small. There is barely room for 2 people to unpack a suitcase or move around as there is only the space between the beds. But for 1 person, ok.

Not fancy but it works

We had the family room, which is in a basement, raw walls, nothing fancy but lots of space and beds for the whole family. Functional kitchen, wifi works well, shower as well, nothing to complain about. The stairs to go down are a very narrow spiral, not easy with large suitcases. Service is gruff but friendly, restaurant is OK, convenient since it's on site and you're far away from everything. It is pretty close to Husafell however, so if you need that kind of room for a reasonable price it's a good option. Very quiet surroundings, nice view of rolling fields.

Petit soucis à l'arrivée car nous n'avions pas reçu le mail avec notre numéro de chambre et le code mais après un contact avec d'autres vacanciers nous avons obtenu une réponse très rapide. Nous avions une chambre avec sdb privée, très propre. La literie était confortable et le linge de lit sentait extrêmement bon. Le petit déjeuner était excellent, mention particulière pour le banana bread maison que nous avons trouvé exceptionnel. Amabilité et gentillesse au rdv. Merci pour l'accueil.

El lugar esta muy bueno para ver auroras boreales, y tiene unos paisajes hermosos. Recomiendo un lugar para comer, cenar, que esta antes de llegar a unas aguas termales que estan como a 10 minutos de ahi en coche

Struttura leggermente fuori strada principale ma ripaga il posto magnifico è la proprietaria gentilissima tutto tenuto benissimo e pulitissimo. Ottima colazione che considerando il prezzo economico del Pernottamento con colazione rispetto ai standard islandese il tutto è da considerare perfetto. Grazie Enzo
