This guest house has it all - very modern and well-equipped kitchen, nice rooms with towels provided, great location (especially for northern lights), and amazing toilets / showers which have heated floors and are closer to what you will find in a 5 star hotel.

There's a lot of rooms, but WCs and washrooms also. So it is enough for all. Room relatively big and tidy. Near to the Dettifoss.

Amazing rooms and amazing bathrooms. Really suggest this place especially if you have visited Asbyrgi in the morning. The kitchen is very good, fully equipped and it is very easy to cook in it. The owner was very nice and greeted us when we arrived. She also told us that that night northern lights were predicted and we were able to see them :)

Great spot with nice dining/kitchen facilities. The bathrooms are lovely too. We saw the aurora lights, it’s nice and dark on the driveway :) Good location near the Asbyrgi Canyon too.

Owner greeting us, giving us advice about road conditions and many other things to look for. She even gave me milk for coffee and cereal which was not included! 4 bathrooms for 10 rooms was very good.

The road 864 and 862 is very bad lead to the house.... !!!! Due to working. Very painful to drive there.

The road from the falls to the guesthouse was under construction and horrible for many kilometers. The closest restaurant was over 30 minutes away.
The kitchen was nice and provided appliances and plenty of dishes, etc. The dining area was good for eating you homemade meal. It was quiet.

The place is not easy to reach. Despite its name it is not close to the famous waterfall, and it is unavoidable to drive through gravel roads to reach it.
The guesthouse is clean and there are reasonable cooking facilities.
