Lovely, warm, comfortable room. Easy check in. Wonderful location - highly recommend a visit to Laugarvatn Fontana spa and their soup, bread and rye bread. Beautiful surrounding scenery.

Megan United Kingdom

Such a comfortable and charming place to stay. You can't actually see the lake as they're a block back, but it's a very short walk. It's in a lovely quiet area but there is still a small grocer and two restaurants, as well as a thermal spa, within walking distance. Perfect for exploring the Golden Circle, as you're on the main road but not in the touristy area. The breakfast was SO good - she bakes fresh traditional icelandic rye bread each day, fresh fruit is available and cold meat cuts etc. Wifi worked well, beds were comfy. We got a free upgrade as there weren't many guests that week!

Carla United Kingdom

The rooms were very cosy and warm. Wifi worked well. Host Hanna is very accommodating and friendly. A decent grocery store is right nearby. The bathrooms were modern and shower worked well. Comfy beds. Breakfast was very good - freshly baked Icelandic bread and cold cuts, cereal etc.

Carla United Kingdom

Wayne New Zealand

Great room with spacious bathroom and lovely hot shower. Room was warm and comfortable and the location great for visiting the Geysir, Gullfoss and national park. Fridge was useful and parking right outside the room was helpful.
