    Mattress was way too soft, to the point of a sore back

    Great location, hot tubs free of charge, two kitchens... Really good experience.

    Showers are public, like in many locations in Iceland. There is a curtain for some privacy though. Corners in our pod were not the cleanest, but nothing too bad.

    Very nice location, managed by a passionate owner. I like the backstory about trolls. The pods are small, but to be expected for the price. We had a comfortable stay here for an affordable price. Also very good base location for many sightseeing locations nearby, like the þingvellir/golden circle and the snæfellsnes peninsula. Friendly and helpful staff.

    Shared spaces could be a bit tidier, mostly related to the guests.

    The quietness of the night, remote location very nice and friendly staff. Parking space, hot tubs.

    .. Besides the bathroom facilities. These were standard for a campsite.

    Can't recommend the breakfast enough. The pods were extremely warm and cosy. The waterfall was stunning. Kitchen had all essential cooking appliances, pots and pans and cutlery. Everything exceeded expectations..

    The cabins look so cosy and the hot tubs were fantastic. There are 2 kitchens to cook you own meals that we didn’t use because we wanted to taste the local food. The dinner at the restaurant was awesome, the soups were really great and the meat sooo tender. If you add as well perfect music and atmosphere you have an amazing experience!! Breakfast had everything and they even waited for us because our alarm didn’t go off and we were a bit late. Thank you guys!

    The kitchen could be cleaner. Microwave and general facilities over there should be maintained better. Also the fridge in the pod was not working

    no real issues - rooms were a bit dusty could’ve done with a hoover under the beds and our door didn’t latch when closed so anytime we walked out even for one second we had to lock the other one in or out , only one of the 3 hot tubs was hot, one was lukewarm and the other was empty so everyone was all getting into the hot one so we just left them but wanted to stay.

    exactly as described very cosy very warm and dark so good place to see northern lights, staff very friendly and dinner was tasty, communal kitchen was good and liked that you could leave food or use others that had been left as I hate food waste, and liked that each pod had a parking space next to it.

    Everything!! The staff were amazing and went out of their way to assist us (including rescuing us from deep snow), they were friendly and approachable. The cabins were quaint, very warm and well appointed. We loved finishing our day with a soak in the thermal hot tubs each night and were lucky enough to see the northern lights while soaking one evening! It was magical. The troll garden was fun and my kids loved visiting it and reading about the troll folklore. Fossatun was the perfect location to see the northern lights without being too far from large coties and tourist spots. We will definitely be visiting Fossatun camping pods again!

    beds weren't very comfy but that's to be expected in a camping pod!

    Gorgeous mountain views, restaurant with delicious and fresh food overlooking the river, clean and cute camping pods with GREAT insulation, three hot tubs, dark enough at night to see the Northern Lights (even when it's cloudy!), friendly staff (family business), cozy lounge area with vinyl records and couches, troll garden, clean and easily accessible bathrooms, showers, and kitchen!

    The staff were so friendly and kind. Gave plenty of tips on things to do and see around the area, and ended up seeing the aurora nearby.. Thank you! Super warm people. The breakfast buffet was also good - the pod is so cozy and cute out in nature, and the bed and room were really cosy and comfortable. The hot tubs were amazing! The walks on the property are also amazing, and so are the nearby hot springs. In such a beautiful property away from the city but not too far. A very good base to see the south and the western part of iceland. The price of the accommodation was also affordable for solo traveller, and made the travel possible. I highly recommend the place!
