Paolo was a wonderful host! He was more than helpful when asked. He gave a thorough tour upon arrival and was seen working hard throughout our stay. The property is located directly in front of a spectacular waterfall.

Sara United States of America

Great location just past Seljalandsfoss. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Although the bathrooms and showers are shared, there were plenty so there was never a problem with one being unavailable. They offer lamb soup for dinner which was delicious.

Linda United States of America

Every single detail was absolutely perfection.
