Unfortunately, this was one of our least favourite stays. The heating didn’t work, we were freezing all night, and the room felt very basic and dated. We stayed in the annex building, which didn’t add much charm either. I was quite surprised by the high ratings; personally, I found it to be very average at best. Free parking is available.

Beautiful location with plenty of darkness to see northern lights if it's clear out. The hot tubs were nice, tasty beer at the front desk, good breakfast included and convenient to gas, food etc in Egilsstaðir.

Cute little cabin, but small and basic with little room to get around beds. It had small table for two, sink, fridge and two burners. In beautiful wooded area, with deck. We didn't have dinner there but breakfast was great with many options and hot drinks. over looking their beautiful property. They offer an upstairs lounge overlooking their pretty property which would be enjoyed by groups i am sure. Liked that the bathroom temperature could be controlled separately from the sleeping area (separate radiators) but found the pillows too floppy and soft, and the outlet placed poorly right behind the bed.

The property was clean and the room spacious. The front desk check-in was easy and so was check-out. I was a bit confused about whether or not I'd need special instructions for check-in, but actually if you are going to arrive in their regular time window (4-10pm) then you don't need to worry about any special instructions. In addition, the included breakfast was great. I also loved the snowy views from the window and the ease of parking close to the front door. Thank you for a great stay!

Stayed two nights in one of their economy cabins and loved the accommodations. Very charming & convenient for a solo traveller. One critique would be that I happen to have been placed in the only “dated” cabin. From the exterior, the others did appear to have been updated. Still, I enjoyed the accommodations. But I’m curious to know what the others were like. Staff were friendly & courteous. Breakfast was great and offered both hot & cold options, which were perfect before a day of exploration.
