Great stop if you’re driving the ring road and don’t want to do Reykjavik to Akureyri in 1 day! We were the first to arrive for the night so we were a little worried because it didn’t look open from the road but once inside, it’s clean, cozy and the views are great—Open/dark skies for northern lights viewing close to a beautiful black sand beach! Would definitely stay again!

Very nice staff and food. Facilities may be up for some upgrading, but this is compensated largely by the quietness and the hospitality. The waffles at breakfast are very nice. On top of this comes a ride with a fantastic horse in avnice scenary. Waaw!

It’s a relatively long drive on gravel roads to get here. For positives, they have the friendliest staff ever who provided great recommendations for things to do in the area and their breakfast was great. The room was also quite big! On the downside, the shower water was freezing, and the curtains didn’t fully cover windows, and the beds were quite uncomfortable.

Just a few minutes away from the hvitserkur, perfect to see it first thing in the morning. The breakfast was really good, try the waffles! The staff was sweet and accomodating (we arrive in the middle of the night due to a snow storm, they left the key for us at the reception) Bonus point for the cute islandic blanket over the bed, keeping us really warm, even with the snow storm outside ^-^

Challenging drive - great place to stay
It was a solid place to stay. The reason minus one star - the drive to get there is not for all drivers, as it is an unpaved road. We did it in the rain, and our car was nearly covered in road dirt from head to toe from all the potholes we drove - around 16km from Hwy 1, if you take the shorter route, on 717 - if you take 711, it is a much longer route. The hosts and the guesthouse were great. We would love for all to be as they were. A testament to why people love to visit Iceland - the people here are very gracious and do all they can to be helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property was fine to stay for one night but the shower and room were very basic, even for Icelandic standards. It felt and looked like staying in a dormitory. My biggest complaint was the lack of, essentially no communication when I had sent several messages to the websites and tried calling prior to our arrival and there was no response for days. However the problem did get resolved when arriving a day earlier but it would’ve been nice to have better communication.

It's a good place to be isolated. Maybe in winter will be ideal to see the northern lights. The road to get there is not paved, so it takes longer than the calculated route. Showers and toilets are shared. Includes complimentary breakfast

Some of the descriptions were a little misleading. There is NO restaurant on site except for breakfast. And when they say there are other restaurants in town they mean 20 to 30 kilometers away. If we'd known that we could have planned better and would have given a higher rating.

Hotel is in suburb area, nothing around or near by . stayed one night because of no other choices. Room is clean but tiny, share bathroom clean but not convenient. Be careful with this hotel , I reserved the room 1 night (May 24) with a credit card choosing pay at the hotel. When I checked in, I used a different credit card to pay for the room. When I returned home, they double charged me on 2 different credit cards. The double charge even on the day I already left Iceland (May 28) . This hotel scams people by double charges and if you don’t pay atttetion you will end up paying them twice.
