Everything was perfect! Very quaint and comfortable and the location was perfect to be able to visit the canyon. We even arrived late and they were very understanding and accommodating with our check-in. The breakfast was wonderful with homemade bread and the restaurant is super cute.

The rooms were nice, our room was a bit hot no matter how we adjusted the furnace. There was a beautiful canyon trail only a mile from the property.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is in a stunning location, surrounded by trees and rivers, offering a peaceful escape close to nature. Rooms are comfortable , with a kettle and washbasin, while bathrooms are shared among two bedrooms.Breakfast is included ( very basic - cereals , breads and fruits ) and served in the common restaurant, and dinner is available at extra cost, though vegetarian options are limited ( only 1 ). Staff could be more welcoming—we were reminded about breakfast timing in a rather curt way. Also, having a small common area with a fridge or microwave would be a great addition, considering the remote location. Overall, the location is unbeatable (10/10), but service and amenities could be improved.

Friendly staff which seems to be a common trait for Iceland. Cabin was small but extremely clean and bright and comfortable. Same for the bathroom. Included breakfast was served in a very pretty small sunroom type restaurant. The breakfast was of high quality although it didn’t have as many choices as we saw other places. I don’t think there was any hot entree. Overall we were happy with our stay.

Guesthouse was clearly old but maintained. Ordered two single bed rooms and got a double room. Heat wasn’t working at the time (manager told us that they checked it and it was working). Rooms are very small and hot water runs out quickly. Breakfast was meager, some bread, fruits, veggies, and cereal. A bit overpriced in my opinion.
