Very attentive staff. Host at the reception was very welcoming and even showed us to our room! She talked a little about the waterfalls and the best times to see it without many tourists around. The property itself is wonderful with the backdrop of Godafoss. Bathroom was a little small but met our needs. Room was overall clean and cozy.

Our room was in a separate building which made getting to breakfast and dinner a wet, chilly affair. The room itself was cramped and not meant to spend time in except to sleep. The bathroom was very small and gave off an unpleasant smell. On the plus side: the dinner was very good, as was the breakfast. The staff was friendly and helpful and the proximity to the falls made up for most of the shortcomings,
