    Nothing

    Everything. The waterfall location, the food at breakfast and in the evening, the decor and the atmosphere in the quirky restaurant and the friendly, professional staff.

    No complaints. The rooms could be a little bit more modern, but for the price they were great.

    Location was wonderful, rooms were comfortable, warm and clean.

    I have booked this location for the second time and every time I felt like home. The staff is super nice and always ready to help or just to chat. The breakfast is amazing, just beside the waterfall. I also booked a dinner (in November they appreciate if you book in advance regarding food) and it was delicious. Lots of local food to try. They also have their own beer and I recommend it. It was also a nice spot to watch Aurora. I hope my wallet will be able to take me there again this year.

    Nothing sticks out, it was exactly what I had expected.

    Breakfast was included with our room and was a good spread and filling for the day of hiking. The location was perfect for what we had planned. We also ate dinner at the Rock and Troll Restaurant both nights we stayed there. The food and the service were very good. As someone who is very familiar with music from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, the music being played during breakfast and dinner was excellent. I would recommend Fossatun Country Hotel for anyone who wants to see and hike Iceland’s beautiful countryside.

    A beautiful property with a magnificent view

    The rooms were not very well lit. So if you want the daylight coming in to brighten up the room, you would need to open the blinds which would result in absolutely in no privacy.

    The location of the hotel is just amazing. The view from our room was a magnificent waterfall. Our room was at the bottom of small hill on which there were these interesting artifacts curated by the hotel. It was quite fun. The view from that hill top too was amazing. We got to witness Northern Lights the first time from there. We had dinner and breakfast there and the food was just delicious. Their mushroom soup is a must try! They also have a hot tub which we really enjoyed!

    We were disappointed to be told that the hotel had run out of sachets of coffee etc. for the rooms and on our second day had to share a single early morning cup of coffee.

    An interesting mix of self catering and camping chalets: we enjoyed the breakfast, used the well equipped communal kitchen and relaxed in the wonderful hot tubs!

    The location was great and overlooked Trollfoss, the room was nice and clean, the food was yummy, the Troll Garden was spectacular and fun, and the owner was friendly and offered to sign the books we purchased. And what a wonderful vinyl collection from this accomplished record producer/owner! We really enjoyed the music playing in the restaurant - it brightened our day. The whole experience was amazing and will be one of our favorite memories of Iceland! 🇮🇸 🧌

    One shelf in the wardrobe was looking tired so if staying more nights that might have been a problem

    If you're staying in Iceland but want to be out of the main path of the Reykjavik masses, this is perfect accomodation. The staff have been incredible and there are also little glamping pods which look cool! Didn't go in the Hut tubs on site because we wanted to go to Krauma which is 10 mins up the road and watch the sunset from there. We ate in the restaurant after and would recommend and their duo dishes are a great idea for tasting delicious dishes (we were still really full and wouldn't have managed a full starter and main of each!) really reasonable considering Iceland prices and the portion size. We got 500isk off as a discount when buying the Toll book and a T shirt which was an added bonus, particularly as the author of the book signed it for us as well - it's his business I think! Our nephew will be really pleased! Comfy beds and clean accomodation, slightly dated but still fit for use. Great little overnight on our ring road adventure. there's also a Troll garden walk which is free for those staying and was great for views around the place

    As it was close to a waterfall there was some damp inside the room. Otherwise was clean.

    The theme of the hotel was really unique. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The view of the waterfall from the room was great! The breakfast was good and was included. Would stay here again as it was good location for our roadtrip!

    Amazing property on the hill by the river, friendly personnel greeting every traveller (and we appreciated they had to help the customer before us to resolve some issue with her reservation, which the team brilliantly did). Nice, clean, functional rooms, sparkling-clean, well-stocked bathroom incl. hairdryer, functioning WIFI (even covering part of the property faraway from the buildings). We did eat dinner at the property - delicious meal, simple but good. I can say exactly the same about breakfast - simple, good quality, enough to set one up for the day. Last but not least - we enjoyed walking around the property a lot, it was indeed a pleasant stroll, and you can take pictures of the magnificent landscape (you'd need to walk up about 4 mins from the main building).
