Sorin and the rest of his staff were very helpful in making a dinner reservation for us. Most importantly, the staff was able to accommodate our request to have a load of laundry done on an expedited basis. Wonderful hotel with very clean rooms and having USB plugs on each side of the bed was a bonus and not something we found typical in Iceland.

The setting is gorgeous, overlooking the fields and mountains. Loved seeing the ponies. We had a view of the river from our spacious room. The room was spotless. The staff were extremely helpful. One of the staff loaned their personal charger for my husband’s Apple Watch as he left his at home.

    Great place in south of Iceland. The town of "flowers" is a good name for this place, as it is the warmest place in Iceland, where they grow flowers and enjoy life. It has the best swimming pool of the whole country, with an amazing "steam room" that is heated with steam straight from the vulcanic core of our planet.

We are not luck since there is no sun in all the trip except when we fly back to US. The mountain and beach are great even with cloud and frog.
