Great friendly place to stay.

We were only going to stay for a day, it was an emergency stop because my wife was feeling ill. I spoke with Frida and Ragnar and they were so helpful with our needs. We decided to make their place out home base for the next 4 days. The room we had bosted a sauna that helped get my wife better. Frida and Ragnar had true country charm and made our stay memorable. We would most definitely stay here again on our next visit to iceland!

No frills here but adequate

Great location between Selfoss and the must sees of Gulfoss, Geysir and Thingvellir. Chalet style accommodation. A bit dated. Bedroom which has a double and single bunk above very small with bud against wall. Kitchen within living area. Kettle but no teabags or coffee. If you are staying bring your own and some basic provisions for breakfast. Restaurant on site was ok for dinner but breakfast only available if pre-arranged.

Little Cabin In The Woods

Charming little cabin in the woods feel. Facilities feel a bit older, but okay for a short stay. Our cottage had a larger bed with a single bunk built above it. A little tight for 3 adults, but would be perfect for parents and a teen/kid. Bunch of cottages situated together with a few shared public hot tubs in the middle. Check-in was friendly and helpful.

We loved our stay in our cute cabin with a private hot tub. The patio had a table that was perfect for coffee and dinner. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were a little hard but not bad. The bathroom was a little small and the curtain does not keep the water in the shower. Perfect location for the golden circle. The secret lagoon was only 30min from there as well. We loved how quiet it was and beautiful scenery.

We stayed in a one-bedroom cabin and absolutely loved it. The room was spotless and cozy, and we were pleasantly surprised to find a brand-new couch and flat-screen TV, both of which looked older in the photos, so the upgrade was a nice touch. One of our favorite things was that the hot tub was always open. Sitting in it at 2 a.m. with nothing but quiet around was such a relaxing experience. Although we didn’t eat at the restaurant, the menu looked excellent and we’d definitely consider it next time. The highlight of our stay was the outstanding front desk staff, two incredibly friendly and helpful guys who went above and beyond. They even created a quiet space for me in the lobby to take a conference call, knowing we had kids with us and the cabin might get noisy. I think one of the guys names was Martin. Highly recommend this place and would absolutly come back!

Loved this spot; our whole group did! The pull-out couch was comfy for our movie night in, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tubs which were super clean and very warm. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone seeking a quiet, lovely place to lay their head. My only recommendation to the property would be to add some curtains over all the windows to snuff the little bit of midnight sun that comes through the edges/slats. Thanks for having our group!

The cottages were outdated and strongly recommend at least upgrading beds/mattresses and getting screens in windows. we roasted in the room because we were advised not to open window due to the bugs. Would have been a bit more manageable if we could have opened windows. Staff was nice, check in was easy. Did not eat the breakfast but didn’t look impressive when checking out! 1 of the 3 hot tubs were open but due to bugs, we opted not to use.

Pleasant stay in Iceland

We enjoyed our stay here. It was centrally located for the various sites we wanted to see during our brief stopover in Iceland. The cabins were charming. We would have liked to have had blackout curtains in the living room and not just the bedroom, but everything was clean and comfortable. The workers were friendly; we'd recommend staying here.
