"This was my absolute favorite stay on the ring road! I wasn’t expecting much, just by the description and the few reviews that I read, but we really enjoyed the whole property. Check in was easy and they showed us around the property a bit before showing us to our room. The room we had was clean and comfortable. There was even a couple of seats and a small table (we used for cocktail time!).
There were robes in the room for the hot tubs, which we did use. The hot tubs were warm and large and...

The only thing I did not like was the church bell across the street that rings every 15 minutes, but the hotel provides ear plugs. They were a great help.

The owner and staff were very accommodating and extremely helpful. They also went out of their way to make sure any questions we had were answered. Parking was free, great complimentary breakfast. Property is about a 40 minute drive from the airport, 15 min walk from the center of town. They really care about their business here. Support local small businesses. They truly care.

Just wanted to say the staff here made our trip memorable. The breakfast was fantastic. Prior to arriving I let the staff know we would be arriving early due to a early flight and needed to freshen up due to me proposing. They made the accommodation. I asked while we were at dinner if they could do something special in the room and they did. The host at the restaurant was very suave with letting me know that everything in the room was ready. The restaurant was an absolute treasure and I will be...

I’ve stayed here three times over the past 10 years. Most recently in October 2026. The property is very well maintained and looks the same as it did 10 years ago. If I am going to West Iceland I always stay at the Fossatun hotel. It’s also a great place to see the aurora.

Such a wonderful pleasant stay. I had the opportunity to meet and chat with Anna, the spirited manager/owner of the well kept comfortable house, and it is clear that she has put her heart and soul into the place. It shows and delivers! Highly recommend staying here.

I saw the northern lights right from the deck of the cottage. Beautiful. Better sightings than my paid tour. Stay here see the lights. Enjoy the breakfast! Enjoy the hiking trails and mountain views. Awesome ☺️

Great location. Fantastic staff! I can't say enough about Asta, the front desk clerk. I was having a personal crisis upon arrival and without even asking, she made the check-in process seamless. To me, that goes above and beyond normal customer service.
The hotel is clean and quiet. They offer breakfast in the morning in a large dining area. It is very close to the harbor and main street. Would highly recommend this place.

What a charming hotel! Lots of quirky decorations throughout the hotel and in rooms. The staff were absolutely lovely- happy to help with any and all questions. We had a loft room, which was small but more than sufficient, with a breathtaking view of the fjord. We made use of the two hot-spring fed hot tubs available to guests as well. Sitting and looking out over the mountains at sunset was a magical experience. Breakfast was generous and good!

Very charming lodge off the beaten path with a lovely waterfall trail right behind it. The rooms were generous in size and very clean. The reception area was nice and the staff were very friendly. Loved our stay here.

This was a very nice hotel with it's own hot spring (although not that hot). The man at the front desk was extremely friendly and the rooms were modern/updated. The views were amazing all around it. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room. We don't have anything negative to say about it at all. We'd absolutely stay again.
