"Very clean and spacious room, even though I booked a single room. Bathroom was lovely, lovely shower, and local Icelandic shower gel which smells incredible! Great coffee/tea machine that you can help yourself to 24/7, great for those times when you need to be awake at 2am for an Aurora run. Lovely views of Laugarvatn lake and beautiful mountains on the other side. Great location in the golden circle close to Friðheimar tomato farm, Þingvellir national park, Geysir and Brúarfoss to name a few. Few minutes walk to the lovely Laugarvatn Fontana geothermal baths. Would stay again. "

"This is a very nice hotel. The rooms are very nicely appointed and relatively large. The room we had has a view of the Geysers (well, the steam clouds) across the road. Being directly across from the Geysers is nice because you can tour the geysers for a few hours before the tour busses arrive. The food service was excellent. The breakfast buffet is included in the price of the room and was great. We also had dinner at the hotel. The dinner menu is limited but what we had was very good, but a bit pricy. There is no other dining options unless you want to take a significant drive."

"So cozy and special! Our night was cloudy, but still felt very much a part of the nature around us, and we loved seeing the sunrise. (We learned throughout our trip that the aurora is fickle, so don't expect to see, but we thought this bubble was worth it anyway.) Felt private from the rest of the property. Well-heated--the heated blanket kept the space warm while it was chilly outside in March. Be careful with food in the space, since you're still out in the forest--we woke up to signs of nibbles on our snacks. Highly recommended!!"

"While the place appears remote, it is well located to visit some of the best sites in the Golden Circle. The place was clean and comfortable, and served a nice breakfast each morning. Furthermore, there is a restaurant right across the street called Mika that had fantastic food."

"Neat and cozy bedroom; spacious common areas. I loved the glass walls in the living room. The view is peaceful and beautiful."

"The cottage was perfect. Incredible glass walls to see the surrounding area, and the private hottub was amazing."

"Extremely comfortable and clean hotel. Loved our stay!"

"Lovely hotel - doesn't look that impressive from the approach road, but lovely inside - the dining room is particularly nice with large windows looking over the valley. Excellent location as very close to Gullfoss - around 5 minutes drive. Staff were lovely at reception and in the restaurant. Food - both dinner and breakfast - were very good, with a good selection at breakfast. Room was nice - twin beds as requested, clean and warm and with a nice view over the valley. I stupidly left my Kindle behind and have since been liaising with the hotel who are going to mail it back to me - very kind! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. "
