    All three hot tubs were extremely dirty and the sanitarys were disgusting. We have been every day at a campsite around Iceland and this was by far our worst experience. Very old, dirty, bad smell .. We slept in the camp pods which were nice but also not clean. The floor, mirror and outdoor area especially the chairs needs to get cleaned.

    Cozy, warm, two open kitchens to use

    Unfortunately the problem with the inscent inside on of our cottages. The other one was ok suprisingly.

    Simple but nice accomodation near Reykjavík. Nice walking path around. You can use kitchen, hot tubes and showers for free.

    There is no wifi at all, not in any way , not even weak or something, just non existent, even that its said there is. Even in the shared areas like kitchen the wifi is even if showing the name - could not connect to it since it so super weak. Theres only 2 stalls per gender for at least 50 people.( 1 in the showers and 1 in bathroom). And its quite a walk to the bathroom, at rain not something you can do, especially midsleep, we took car half the times. Theres something like 5 rows of pods would be nice to have 1 bathroom on each row at least.

    The pod is super cozy and comfortable, the heating is very good and heat up fast. Theres a deck outside to relax. Theres incredibly beautiful waterfalls literally on the restaurant deck! One of best coffes I had, to drink it in front of it like that. Theres very nice travel path they made with little explanations on Icelandic folklore and culture along the stream. Theres a miniature fridge inside the pod, which was great for beer or sandwich or something small youll want in your room. The mattress is very comfortable. Overall worth the money and if in area in future, will stay again(closer to the bath).

    It wasn’t as comfortable as we were hoping. You could feel the springs under the mattress. The heating unit was difficult to adjust. No ventilation unless you keep the window door open which lets in a lot of cold air. Mini fridge can really only hold two soda cans. Good for those with camping gear and extra costs for those without.

    Very cute.

    Offers a lot of nice and good things, but some basics are missing

    There are only 2 shared kitchens available. Both kitchens and the provided equipment are old and dirty. It seems kitchens aren't getting cleaned as needed - maybe in summer things are better? The playground and shared bathrooms need to be updated.

    We stayed there 1 night in March in a camping pod. The camping pods are clean and cozy. Free Private Parking is directly in front of your camping pod. Heating worked very well in all places (shared and private). For a remote place like this, Fossatun offers a lot of things to do and see. It includes a very nice located restaurant with nice views over the river. You can perfectly do some small and interesting hikes directly starting from here. If you are lucky you can enjoy a concert of the owner's band or discover Icelandic culture by buying his book on troll sagas or visit the troll theme park (officially closed at the time of our visit). The 2 kitchens are ok in size, but not enough for the number of camping pods/guests. Despite that, there are enough shared fridges and a private mini fridge is additionally located inside you camping pod. Good home base for the silver circle.

    There was no signs or communications that indicated that there was a fee to use the laundry. I walked into the unlocked loundry room to start my washing only to come back in an hour to see the room locked. Staff then notified me that there is a 1000ISK fee which I paid to get my clothes back. Not fussed about the money, just would've appreciated better communication. Kitchen was also a bit dirty, messy, and not well equiped (all I wanted was knife and forks). This is probably more of a reflection of the people that stay here. Showers also didn't drain quickly enough when I used it and flooded.

    Quirky and unique accommodation in a good location. Everything inside the camping pod was clean and comfortable. Proper double beds were great (instead of the usual two singles pushed together.) The surrounds are quite nice too. Troll themes are interesting if you are into that.

    That the linens had to be rented. The kitchens were too small for all the people that stayed there. The bathroom was not really nice nor clean. Not enough appliances in the kitchen for everyone to cook. The walk between the kitchen and the pods is quite dark. The wifi didn't work in our pod!!! We had to go out and get closer to the reception.... It was quite annoying in the middle of the night not even having it on all the area.

    The pod was warm, cute and nice. It has hot tubs.

    It is small. Be prepared for how small the pods are.

    We loved the location. It was a great starting point for our peninsula travel the next day. The kids enjoyed the Troll garden and there is a beautiful waterfall nearby. We got to see the Northern Lights during our visit!

    - the troll garden was run down and an upsell for the owner’s books but it was a nice idea for an add-on. If I had to pay to enter it, I would have been very disappointed - the beds were not comfortable although adequate for a night

    - they rented bedding which is good for travelers; make sure you rent in advance as it’s cheaper - the property is on a beautiful river with little mini falls - the location is pretty good for going to Snaefellsnes or to Thingvellir. There is also a crater and nice waterfalls about a half hour away - the owner is an author or children’s books which could be cool for families
