We like the location, the check-in procedure, the cleanliness of the whole building, the size of the room and toilet, kitchen, the dining area, etc. The sound proof is superb. The bed is so comfy. The waffle cooked by the owner was wonderful. The surrounding is beautiful.

We had an absolutely lovely two-night stay at this charming accommodation in Iceland. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how immaculately clean everything was - clearly a lot of care goes into maintaining this property. Our host Veronique was simply delightful and made us feel so welcome throughout our visit. She was incredibly helpful and friendly, which really enhanced our overall experience. The space itself was cozy and inviting, with a warm atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home. We were pleased to find that the accommodation was very well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location worked perfectly for our Iceland adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to rest after our days of exploring this beautiful country. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for clean, comfortable accommodation with exceptional hospitality. Veronique is a wonderful host, and we’d happily stay here again on our next visit to Iceland!

We had a lovely stay here. Although remote, it was conveniently located for Landmannalaugar, Hella and the surrounding area. You need a 4x4 to access via gravel roads, but then that is what makes the place so special (gravel roads were well maintained when compared to the highlands - photo in review). Photos do not accurately represent the cottages... They are much nicer in person!

The hotel is an older hotel. No lift etc. But the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The breakfast provided in the price included bacon and eggs which was a nice surprise. Not a common occurrence on our trip. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel and since it was pouring rain outside, a handy asset. Food was ok but not great for the money. There is a supermarket within walking distance. The hotel is on the highway but road noise was not an issue. A good place to stay for the Ring Road trip.

This property is situated near Hella, close to the Ring road, a very serene, stunning and peaceful place to stay. The house is quite big with 4 bedrooms including 4 bunk beds. Very well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed our stay. We used to get message daily from the property enquiring whether we face any issues ,a very impressive gesture! Highly recommended.

Very nice location, in nature but close to a town. This isn't a hotel, this is a guest house with a key box, so don't expect all the facilities a regular hotel would have, you're probably not even gonna see staff. This is however very private, clean, affordable room with just enough space for 2. Very nice.
