I like a lot of things, but I love the breakfast the most. The range of food was so vast and everything was absolutely delicious.

The room was very nice with its private bathroom. Everything was very clean. The free breakfast was simple (cold spread) but had everything we wanted (eggs, veggies, yogurt etc.). The best thing is the farm dog called Saga. She comes to greet you and play with you, and goes hiking with you! There's a nice hiking track just behind the farm.

The location was amazing, you could see right across to the glaciers from the cabin window. Stefan was very friendly when we met him and let us know we had a chance of seeing the northern lights! We saw them and the view from the cabin was beautiful. The bed was really comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. The water was really warm for the shower and the cabin was kept toasty warm too!

Great hostel on the way of the Ring road. The room is clean and private bathroom, friendly staff at reception but it is important to keep in mind that the reception is open until the specified hours. Good road to the hostel. There is no kitchen but there is a coffee corner where you can make coffee or tea, brew something with boiling water, for this there are dishes and cutlery, a kettle. There is also a refrigerator. Comfortable beds

This was truly an unexpected and very pleasant surprise! I stayed there with my 3 children and we were all enchanted by the charm of the place. The chalet we stayed in was comfortable, clean and the decor was extremely tasteful. Unfortunately we didn't stay long. We arrived at night and left early the next day. However, we had time for a quick breakfast before departure. The restaurant was a real “pearl”! The various musical instruments and all the other details made our eyes shine! The owners were very friendly and cordial. It was expensive, but we would definitely recommend this property to those who appreciate good hospitality and careful attention to details.

The glaciers were amazing!!!! We even saw seals. The sand on the black beach... Pay for parking or you'll get a fine in the mail, which the rental company will then charge to your card along with their handling fees. Download the PARKA.IS app

The only downside is that there's no restaurant open at night, and the nearest one is 40 km away, which is difficult to navigate on these roads at night. However, the hostess helped us with some snacks and fruit and resolved this issue. So, excellent service.

The house is extremely clean, nicely decorated and furnished with new and beautiful pieces of furniture. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The host are kind, available and extremely helpful. The atmosphere in the house is lively and cozy at the same time. The homemade breakfast is delicious and filling. Many typical Icelandic dishes available.

Great, cozy hotel in a beautiful and serene area. We booked the room with shared bathroom. The room and the bathroom were both neat and clean. Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Great place to stay near Fjallsárlón, Diamond beach and Jökulsárlón (30 minutes away).
