    We found rooms were very basic and there wasn't warm water for the morning which was very disappointing. However what was even more disappointing was that the staff offered a 50% refund on our stay as compensation for the inconvenience. This was never payed even though they took our details.

    Location of this hotel is as the name entails right on skogafoss' doorstep and also the food was very nice. The staff were friendly.

    The hotel had a funny smell. No real milk with the hot drink making facilities. Felt a little without character. No deal presence of any staff. We found the bedroom very very hot but that might just be us.

    Breakfast was very good. The beds were very comfortable. There was lots of space in our family room. It was very clean.

    The carpet in the hallways really smelled like cigarette smoke. The bathroom and room were very old. The carpet in the room seemed old. It would benefit the hotel to rip out all the old carpet and put in new tile flooring and to renovate the rooms to be nicer. The whole hotel was really cold as well. Maybe turn the heater up higher.

    The lobby, breakfast area and restaurant were really nice.

    We were disappointed that we did not have a bathtub. It seems that many of the hotels in Iceland have only showers.

    Laura was pleasant at the front desk. The room was fine-comfortable bed, lots of room to spread out. The best thing about this hotel is the location. You are a five minute walk to Skogafoss, but we felt it was very overpriced. The hotel itself is standard, nothing extravagant. The restaurant had very good food and was reasonably priced. The servers were very kind and professional. The free parking was also a nice perk. We did not have a view of the falls, but it was still very expensive. I guess you pay for the location.

    the apartment was a little more run down than expected, and the price was high for what we got. staff were not very welcoming or helpful when we arrived or when we were trying to check out. nearest source for groceries was 30 min away

    we had one of the apartments, and appreciated a kitchen so we could make our own food

    The studio was 5 mins walk from the main hotel on a road, The upkeep of the building on the outside was awful, weeds, rubbish (old sofa) and the building itself (wood) was going rotten, paint coming off. The interior of the studio was very dated and whilst it was clean it was very tired and old. The bathroom was awful and looked like something out of an old school, the sink had two cold tap and no hot tap. As Iceland stays light in the summer, its helpful if the windows have curtains. This wasn't the case at the door and the panel above it, so we had light streaming in all the time. Cleaners mop left in the bathroom. It was a total rip off for the money. This was the most expensive place we stayed in was a treat and it was by far the worst. I shall be raising a complaint for a refund of some sort.

    Location was good. Room was spacious.

    The bedroom was quite basic, and rather small. You are very much paying for location, not the accommodation.

    Location was great, right by the waterfall, which we were able to visit before any of the coach parties arrived. Restaurant was very good, enjoyed our meal, lovely view. Breakfast was good, and included a few items we didn't see elsewhere.

    The studio is located at a distance from the hotel - this isn’t clear on the booking.com page.. The bathroom could have been better - very small shower, weak water pressure, no tioletries. Dinner in the restaurant was overpriced, even for Iceland, which is generally expensive.

    Wonderful views of the waterfall. good food in the restaurant.
