Lovely place! Scenic. Clean. Well maintained. Our smallest accommodation AND most expensive on our entire Ring Road trip. Nothing negative to say--only for comparison sake.

We totally recommend this hotel, it's really beautiful and unique, small beautiful cabins in the middle of nowhere that most of them have amazing views to the lake or the glacier. The staff was really friendly and helpful, cheers to Cosmin, he was really amazing with us during our stay. The only thing I would improve is the dinning room, not in decoration, but in space, we think it's small for all the cabins, during breakfast it was crowded, but besides that, an amazing option if you're visiting the south of Iceland.

Beautifully located individual cabins. Very spacious inside. The ones closer to the lake and reception/restaurant house are super quiet. Liked everything except a minor inconvenience. The water from the shower overflows into the tiny bathroom no matter how careful you are. When we asked for extra towels, we were told to come and get them. Nobody is at the reception past dinner time. Breakfast is very limited. Overall, beautiful place lacking service level that would much the high price.
