10/10 Exceptional

2 min drive to bonus supermarket and gas station. Room is clean. Breakfast is included which is really convenient. The only minus point is the shower temperature is constantly swaying between hot and cold.

8/10 Very good

Great location for travelling around the ring road. Nice quiet room overlooking the lake. Breakfast was good too. We did get a sulphur type smell in the shower room but it wasn't bad enough to complain about.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Family vacation traveling with 2 adult children. Excellent location. The only negnative issue was the bathroom sink and shower water had a strong sulfur oder. This was the only time we experienced this. Right on the lake.

Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is a very nice property. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The spa was great. Breakfast was good. I think the only con was there was a very strong sulfur smell in the Bathroom/Shower water. Otherwise everything was great.
Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Solid place to stay. Convenient to markets and gas stations nearby. Very fancy finish experience. A bit of an animal farm smell outside.
Steven, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The check in was easy, and the room was clean. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Iceland. However, the property is on a farm and smells of cow manure, and the sulfur smell of the water coming out of the faucets was overpowering.
Erica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful setting on a farm & lake. We walked around & pet the cows, horses, & a sweet black kitty. The breakfast buffet was superb. Great location, right in town with plenty of dining options & gas right across the street. This did not bother us, but if you’re not used to the smell of a farm, the cow smell may bother you, so be aware of that. We, however, loved everything about our stay.
Lisa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel with comfortable room

This hotel is lovely for what it is. Really cosy vibes throughout. Lake views out of the back of the hotel with mountain views to the front. The room was basic but completely expected given the star rating of the hotel. It was functional, spacious and comfortable. Staff were all friendly. Bar area was lovely with option to sit outside. Quite a selection available at self service breakast. We were able to walk into town from this hotel easily for dinner options. And you can get to the lake side as well.
Zareena, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

smell outside of the hotel was very bad. I think it was manure. We couldn’t open the windows too. Inside everything was really great!!
Anubama, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This was the most disappointing hotel of our 10 night road trip. The outside smells like cow sh*t when you drive up. The people were nice, but our room was dirty and smelled like sulfur in the morning. Would not recommend.
Rachel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel itself was nice, good room and spa, the restaurant had good food. But the smell was HORRIBLE. Beware it smells very strong of sulphur outside the hotel and in the water. As soon as you turn on the sink or the shower, you get smacked with a horrible stench. And there was a loud screeching noise all night that was annoying. Other than that, the actual room is decent and the hotel staff was very nice.
