    Unfortunately we didn't sleep well, we stayed at a room on the ground floor of the guesthouse and when somebody was talking in the living room it was almost like that person was inside our room speaking. Also when people woke up at 6 in the morning and went down to the bathroom the stairs made so much noise that we woke up. I think it would be good to put up signs in the guesthouse reminding people to be considerate and not make unnecessary noise during certain hours. Everything else we were happy with.

    The location is truly amazing, the staff was friendly and the food at the restaurant was good. We really enjoyed the nature and the view (the sunset was amazing) and all of the animals there. The beds were also comfortable.

    The place is a little paradise The animals The authentic architecture The view

    Nothing, it was perfect!

    It's magnificent place! If I could I would give 12/10. At the beginning then getting there I thought that we were lost but this small 'village' and the end of the road is so lovely! Some small animals, green grass, event small chapel, surrounding, the sunset! I regret that I could stay there for only one night. The place was clean, well equipped, exactly as in the description.

    Signage from the highway would be helpful.

    This place is in the middle of nowhere, but the views are wonderful. The staff could not be nicer. Issue with the big house so upgraded us to separate hotel rooms (THAT's how you handle that situation). Good restaurant and all comes from the farm. VERY relaxing stay. They even have a rescued pet reindeer (Tova) that is friendly. Would not have guessed this as I drove down the road to get there (thought "where in the world am I going....?) but it was idyllic. Thank you!

    Great stay at this absolute gem 💎 Stunning views and nice open spaces in and around the guesthouse. Easy and friendly check-in. The dogs are playful and friendly - if you are lucky even the reindeer will greet you at arrival ☀️🏔️ Nice and rustic interior design that fits the vibe and the landscape. There’s a love for details, inviting to stay and enjoy some fresh air in the outdoor establishment for a little longer than planned. I’d step by again any time - if not for an overnight stay, then definitely to enjoy some of the home-made lamp meat soup 🤍

    Unfortunately the room was very hot and it was very difficult to sleep for two reasons. First, there was no way to block out the light. Also, the heater was running and keeping the room sauna like despite the warm summer weather, with no way to turn it off.

    Amazing location, lots of animals, and very interesting stay.

    We were upgraded to a larger room, but I suspect that all the rooms would have been great. It was very spacious and we had plenty of room to unload our stuff and relax. The dinner options were also fantastic which is important, seeing as you're pretty much out in the middle of nowhere.

    There was some hair in the shower drain, but not a big problem for us.

    We got upgraded to a hotel room and it was amazing. The whole property and experience felt truly Icelandic. We were welcomed by a friendly pet raindeer and two dogs. The room was excellent with a great view and it also included a shared kitchen and common area, which we weren't expecting for a hotel room. This was by far our most enjoyable stay in Iceland. Note: If you are coming in the beginning of the season and coming from the east, you'll probably need to take second left to the road 901, since the first one is still closed.
