Reviewers note the remote location with an unpaved access road and compact interiors that can feel tight for families, with some finding the sofa bed firm. A recurring theme is limited hot water capacity, requiring short showers or waiting between uses; a few guests also reported delayed check in information. Overall, the stay leans toward simple comfort in nature rather than hotel-style amenities.

Adorable studio-style cabin with pretty views! It is a small space but worked well for us. The kitchenette has a cooktop, microwave, kettle, and mini fridge so you can cook simple meals. There’s a shared bbq grill available for use too although we didn’t use it. (You may need charcoal - not sure.) Sleeping area included 2 twin beds together and a sleeper sofa. Fantastic location near waterfalls and the road to the Westermann Island ferry. Lots of interesting birds in the area too!

if you like warm shower-Don't book this place. Hot water in shower was only for 5 min. There were 4 girls in the group, some skipped shower some took cold shower. this place can't accommodate 4 persons, maybe 1. there was a note asking to conserve hot water. First person who took the shower conserved. And then we waited for an hour for hot water to warm up. the note lied - there was no hot water after one hour. I took cold shower standing in the corner, crying. It was pretty horrible. all my joy from the cuteness of the place and beautiful location was gone after the cold shower. Place was not worth the money. Disappointed.

The place was amazing! It’s perfect for a couple or a small group of four, all in one cozy cottage. It includes a tiny kitchen with a microwave and small fridge, plus convenient parking right in front. We slept very well, and the location was ideal for watching the Northern Lights on a clear night. Only about 10 minutes from Seljalandsfoss — we truly enjoyed our stay!”

The stay was really good, the cottage is very comfortable and has space even being a tiny house like is very spacious . The only problem is that there’s no hot water, you can have maybe 10-15 mins of hot water in a day! In a freezing snowy day it is not a good situation.

Such a unique living experience. Living in an own personal hut near the mountains is such a great way to be in the nature. Private parking available. There is limited hot water in the room but this is a given when living more off the grid.

Fairly expensive for what was offered, even for Iceland. Limit on hot water to 5 minute showers -which after a day of hiking feels too short.

Our stay was really peaceful. The location is ~2miles off of the main highway on gravel & we had a view of one of the larger waterfalls in the distance. Beds were comfortable. Pull out sofa was ok. Everything worked. Our sm 1 BR was well appointed. We stayed 2nts w/no issues. fyi: Hot water is not geothermal so there is a limit to the hot water usage. Check in was a breeze and there were ports to plug in an electric vehicle.

Very clean and comfortable accommodations, but quite small cabins. Hot water is limited, enough for one shower, need to wait 2 to 3 hours for another shower. No breakfast served and nearest food is about 10 miles away. Long gravel road to arrive, so remote off the main road in an already very remote area.

We had a very nice stay at the Bru Guesthouse. The location is close to a lot of attraction but feels secluded, with a nice outdoor space and even a grill. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, with good bedding. The only issue was the check-in process. We spent a good 30 minutes after we arrived sitting in our car and trying to figure out how to access our place, because none of us received an email that should have provided the cabin number and door code (there were 2 separate reservations). We had to look up our reservations through hotels.com and send a message (and the response is it can take a couple days to respond). Eventually the owner waved us over to his house to give us the info, and said his emails are blocked. I can only imagine how confusing this must be if you arrive at night and in the dark.

Loved the area and the hotel itself it was clean and well maintained and had privacy that was amazing and great view of the land. The main negativethat really affected the guest house was the "double bed" which is an absolutely rock hard couch with 1 pillow and 2 scratchy couch pillows. It was comprable to slewping on the floor and i would highly suggest for the money paid to stay there they upgrade the beds.great location and view as i said but terrible comfort after a long day of hiking.

This location is remote, however PERFECT if you are making a day trip to the Westman Islands as it's only 15 minutes from the ferry terminal. It was a perfect place for us to land after a day in the south enjoying the iceberg lagoons, and easy to get up and get to the ferry for a morning ride to the Westmans. Very peaceful. A little tight for a family of 4, but well appointed and very clean. I would recommend!

This was such a cool little cottage! Just far enough away from the city but still close enough to restaurants and anything you might need. Beautiful waterfalls and other sites are just a short drive away! Kitchen had everything you might need for a few days and the beds in the bedroom were very comfy. The bed in the living room area was pretty hard but not unbearable. The shower water got warm immediately and water pressure was great. Highly recommend if you want to stay out of the city for a couple nights!!

I stayed in one of the regular cottages with my family (4 adults) and it was easily the best place we stayed on our entire Iceland trip. The cottage was small but comfortably fit all of us. Kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed plenty of cosy teas while admiring the amazing view. We didn’t have any issues with the shower/hot water- 2 of us showered in the evening and 2 of us showered in the morning. Excellent communication from the owners.

The kitchenette was adequate for cooking and fortunately I had some experience with cooking on an induction stove due to them having an induction unit to help us cook. this property is located next to one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland that allows you to walk behind the waterfall. We could also see it from our room. This is a great location to explore this area of Iceland.

The kitchenette was adequate for cooking and fortunately I had some experience with cooking on an induction stove due to them having an induction unit to help us cook. this property is located next to one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland that allows you to walk behind the waterfall. We could also see it from our room. This is a great location to explore this area of Iceland.

Adorable studio-style cabin with pretty views! It is a small space but worked well for us. The kitchenette has a cooktop, microwave, kettle, and mini fridge so you can cook simple meals. There’s a shared bbq grill available for use too although we didn’t use it. (You may need charcoal - not sure.) Sleeping area included 2 twin beds together and a sleeper sofa. Fantastic location near waterfalls and the road to the Westermann Island ferry. Lots of interesting birds in the area too!

Beautiful view! Met all our needs. It was very nice that there was coffee. Warm and cozy, not drafty.

Loved this quiet cabin! Can see seljalandfoss in the distance. Would’ve been a great spot for aurora viewing, though we had a very cloudy night. Small kitchenette for any cooking you need, but we enjoyed dinner nearby at Hygge. Would stay again!

Very clean and comfortable accommodations, but quite small cabins. Hot water is limited, enough for one shower, need to wait 2 to 3 hours for another shower. No breakfast served and nearest food is about 10 miles away. Long gravel road to arrive, so remote off the main road in an already very remote area.

We had a very nice stay at the Bru Guesthouse. The location is close to a lot of attraction but feels secluded, with a nice outdoor space and even a grill. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, with good bedding. The only issue was the check-in process. We spent a good 30 minutes after we arrived sitting in our car and trying to figure out how to access our place, because none of us received an email that should have provided the cabin number and door code (there were 2 separate reservations). We had to look up our reservations through hotels.com and send a message (and the response is it can take a couple days to respond). Eventually the owner waved us over to his house to give us the info, and said his emails are blocked. I can only imagine how confusing this must be if you arrive at night and in the dark.

Fantastic location, particularly for spotting the Northern Lights. The place is modern, clean, and pleasant, even though it's small. While there's no full stove, a small stovetop is available. Remember to bring your own oil, but aside from that, the kitchen is fully equipped.

Property was clean and tidy and the management was responsive as we encountered a strong storm in the evening and he communicated ahead that the cottage was strong enough and that made us feel safer! A little out of the way but if you like the unique Icelandic feel in the middle of the country side then you will love it! Well stocked with great ground coffee and a French press! Wi-Fi was good and stayed up through the storm.

Property is very clean and cozy with a kitchen and an outdoor grill. Beautiful view of mountains and farmland. Close to lava center and other must see sites. Less than 20 minutes to ferry to Westland islands.

The property was near Thorsmork, close to our activity. It was a beautiful glass front cabin facing the mountains. Beautiful view from the front porch. Peaceful. Clean and had everything we needed. Will stay here again on my next trip to Iceland.

Beautiful location, comfortable bed and very well equipped kitchenette. Only spent a night here, but wish we could have spent a week! There's a grocery store nearby but note it closes fairly early, so plan accordingly. The host did us a huge favor in this regard and it was very much appreciated!
