This is an absolutely beautiful location with friendly staff, great food, and clean, comfortable rooms for a reasonable price. The property feels homey, and we would have loved to stay longer than just one night. The were very accommodating to add a fourth bed to a 3-person room, and though they said it would be tight, there was still plenty of space. The restaurant was very expensive, even by Icelandic standards, but the food was good and the convenience of eating on the property after a long day of activities was great. Breakfast was perfect with a lot of homemade items.

The room was decent size, safe and quiet. There was a fridge in the common area that guests could use. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included and it had a large selection. Like other hotels in Europe, they don’t supply washcloths. The surroundings were beautiful.

I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness of the apartment. The kitchen utensils—including pots, pans, cutlery, plates, and cups—clearly had not been properly cleaned. Many of the items were put away wet, which was unhygienic and unpleasant. It appeared as though the property relies on guests to clean their own dishes, but for the price I paid, I expected a higher standard of housekeeping and a thorough clean between stays. The bathroom was also lacking in basic amenities. There were no toiletries provided, apart from a single bottle of hand wash. Additionally, there was no shower caddy or shelf to place our own products, which made things inconvenient. On a more positive note, the staff at both the reception and the onsite restaurants were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included in our stay and officially started at 7:30am. Since we had an early departure, the staff kindly offered to prepare packed breakfasts for us, which we really appreciated. Another major convenience is that if you're joining a tour with Glacier Adventure, their pickup point is located just outside the property—very handy for early starts. While the location and staff were excellent, the lack of cleanliness and basic amenities in the apartment really detracted from the overall experience.

Quick overnight stay.

Short overnight stay. Hotel is small but comfortable. The room was small but had two windows so you didn't feel claustrophobic. Cleaning staff were very helpful.

Wonderful! This was my second time staying at this hotel. Stayed one time in the yellow cottage and one time in the hotel . Accommodations are spacious and clean. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The staff went above and beyond to help us with a few minor requests.

Too remote for me and you are pretty much limited to their restaurant onsite unless you want to drive 45 minutes. Although the food was good, it was pricey and not a lot of choices. Rooms were clean but very minimalistic.

Our room and the facility was extremely clean. However the location seems like it was a retired senior home. It was just not quite like the pictures made it out to be. Still we had a good stay and the staff was very friendly.

This is an excellent place to stay. The hotel is just a 15-minute drive from the glacier. The room was spotlessly clean and spacious, with stunning views and a large, comfortable bed. The owner goes above and beyond to ensure guests have the best possible experience. The breakfast deserves special mention—there were many options, including homemade lamb pâté, which was the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place and would be happy to return.
