Very clean and friendly owners! They also had a nice restaurant! My favorite was an area of handmade wool items from local people and the wool was from local sheep. Bought a beautiful Icelandic sweater!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, and there wasn’t anything we didn’t like, but we wanted to highlight a few things: - While some previous reviews mentioned that the road to the hotel was terrible, we found it manageable. That said, it’s definitely better if you’re driving a 4x4, just to be able to move faster. - The hotel is a bit far from the nearest city, so if you’re not planning to have dinner there, make sure to find a place to eat beforehand as there aren't options and restaurants close early.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We appreciated the dinner options offered after our long drive - there were different dishes available, each catering to various price ranges, which was great. The hotel was very clean, and although the bathrooms are shared, we never had any issues with waiting, were always tidy and well-maintained. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring we had a restful night. The location is fantastic if you’re planning to visit Godafoss or Aldeyjarfoss, as both are very close. Breakfast was outstanding, with a great selection that set us up perfectly for the day ahead. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would recommend it, especially for those looking for a peaceful stay close to some of Iceland’s stunning waterfalls!

This was our first trip to Iceland, and we did not realize how far out on a dirt road this place is. It’s beautiful, but I would recommend getting there in the daytime if possible

Facilities were very comfortable and clean. Staff was nice and helpful, and the breakfast was great. Would definitely stay again and recommend others to as well!

The property was perfectly kept, I have no criticism!

I really liked the restaurant, the guesthouse staff manage and run the restaurant and the food was some of the best we had on our entire trip. The Grasöl was sooooo good, I should have got a couple more bottles!

Didn’t know they had dinner as well. Should add that to the list of amenities, with such few food options in the area would’ve been nice to know.

Super clean. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Room was spacious. Also had a good variety for breakfast.

It used to be a boarding school for kids in earlier times and now is run as a guesthouse. The restaurant had a long menu that included veg lasagna, burgers, soup etc. I had a veg burger that was made with potatos, beans, mushrooms. My husband had lamb steak. Everything tasted delicious.

It would be good to have more hanging racks in the room. Needs 1 hour to get to Lake Myvatn attractions so do take into account the driving times if you are using this guesthouse as a base.

Guesthouse is in the secluded Bárdardalur valley which you get to by driving 15min along the gravel road near Godafoss. The surroundings were very lovely and peaceful. Our double-room with attached bath was located in a separate building from the main, with a small sitting area/lobby with tea/coffee. Very nice bathroom with great amenities. Breakfast was a generous spread and constantly being refilled. Best of all, the location was quite near the amazing but remote Alderjarfoss which you need to drive along F26 (requires 4x4). Glad we went there!

No oven..... Hard to cook your own food

Great restaurant on site . Wonderful staff. Laundry service at reasonable price.

It looked that there were 3 bathrooms in all, plus some separate toilets near to reception - enough for the bedrooms, but not really for the campers as well - would be beneficial (for them as well as you have to take you outdoor shoes off whenever you enter the building) if they had their own facilities. I suspect that where there are a lot of campers that this becomes a bigger issue.

Our room was comfortable and clean with a table & large dresser. We had a nearly toilet / shower room which was also shared with other guests and campers. There was a microwave and fridge/freezer and a table area, so you could bring a microwaveable meal in to eat. We ate in the restaurant - the food was great & service good. Also there were tea & coffee & kettles provided. The included breakfast was plentiful & varied. There was a small craft gift shop. The location was about a twenty minute drive down a gravel road from Gullfoss waterfall - try to get there at the beginning or end of the day when it is less busy!
