    The troll theme is not to my taste, but it wasn’t an issue, just not appealing.

    Location was convenient. Room was very comfortable and reasonably spacious. We ate at the restaurant and the food was quite good; also the view was spectacular. I wanted to try the hot tub (there are 3 for guest use) but a rain storm hit and I decided against it. The shower was great.

    View to the parking lot! The surroundings are beautiful but all cabins, except # 1 and 2, face the parking lot.

    Spacious room and nice restaurant.

    We LOVED everything❤️

    Out of the 12 places we stayed during our 16 day stay, this was in our top 2. We loved this place so much that we hated to leave after just one night. The cabin was so nice and comfortable. The bathroom and shower were great/roomy. The restaurant was so delicious and the view is unbelievable! The breakfast was included and it was so wonderful. I can’t say enough about this place. I would highly recommend. 5⭐️

    There were a few flies in the room (makes sense being in the countryside) and it was so warm in the room that my glasses fogged up when I walked in.

    The location and view were phenomenal. We enjoyed walking the grounds, seeing the troll garden, and walking along the river. Dinner was excellent and the view from the restaurant was indescribable. The location exceeded my expectations.

    A small detail - easily fixable: short power cord of the kettle, you can't pour water without unplugging it from the (inaccessible) outlet... ;-)

    We stayed in a room with a bathroom for two nights. The room had a small fridge, microwave and kettle with coffee, tea and wine glasses :-). Breakfast was delicious, on a beautiful glassed-in terrace overlooking the waterfall. It's amazing that the owner thinks of everyone - if you prefer to self-cater, there are two well-equipped kitchens. If you want to stay in the privacy of your room, you have the basic equipment. And if you want to take advantage of the dinner option - and from my own experience I recommend it - just make a reservation. The real pearl is the hot tubs, fed by the most abundant European hot spring...! And don't forget to walk through the troll garden!

    The room was superb including a comfortable bed. It was special being away from the town - the setting was so beautiful. There are hiking trails starting at this location. We loved the hot tubs filled with water from a hot spring - so relaxing after a long drive. Breakfast was delicious. My favorites were the smoked salmon and lots of delicious fruit at breakfast we sat by windows overlooking a beautiful waterfall. We even got to watch the Northern lights paint the sky for 45 minutes.

    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.
