What guests think
Fossatun Camping Pods & Cottages - Sleeping Bag Accommodation offers cozy, heated pods in a quiet, scenic setting with waterfall views and a quirky troll park, plus friendly service, well equipped shared kitchens, natural hot tubs, and a popular on-site restaurant.
Pods are small but comfortable, with parking beside them; bathrooms and showers are shared, sometimes a short walk away, and several guests found the shower areas few in number and not always well cleaned. Hot tubs and views are a highlight for many, though a few noted maintenance or cleanliness issues. Breakfast and dinners receive frequent praise. Expect a scenic, budget-friendly, camping-style stay with cozy pods and communal facilities.

Facilities
Well-equipped shared kitchens, troll-themed trails, and an on-site restaurant with waterfall views stand out. Natural hot tubs are popular but sometimes reported as unclean and one was noted out of service; shared showers/bathrooms can feel insufficient or a walk from pods.

Great bargain option! Gorgeous waterfall area on the property, good breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. Very peaceful area. Stayed in the camping pod, very basic but had a comfortable bed. The mini fridge in my room only could fit maybe one can of soda and it didn't seem to work, and the shower was a communal shower and make sure you bring shower shoes it did not look like it was deep cleaned in a long time, but it if you consider you are essentially camping its really not a big deal. Spa tubs were nice as well but only open limited hours. If you are looking for a nice budget option to stay in this area stay here!

トロールを題材にしたテーマパークに隣接しており、レセプションで無料のチケットが貰えました。 敷地内に小さな滝があり、きれいな山も見えて、トロール公園からの夕日がきれいでした。 キッチンハウスは大きく、ハウスの両端にそれぞれ広めのキッチンがありますので、順番待ちになることがありませんでした。 キッチンの設備は冷蔵庫、ピザ焼き器、ホットサンドメーカー、トースター、電子レンジが有りました。テーブルも沢山あり、いつでも座れました。 シャワーはホットタブ用の更衣室を利用する感じで、あまり清潔では有りませんでした。ホットタブは3つあり、天然温泉を入れているようで、日本人が好むような少し熱めの温度の浴槽もあって良かったです。 小さいコテージでしたが、ヒーターが付いていてとても暖かく、狭いけれども快適です。コテージにはすごく小さい冷蔵庫が備え付けられていました。

No me gustó personalmente, no era para mi. Las duchas eran compartidas y había solo 3 (o no he encontrado otras). En los Hot tubs siempre había gente y uno no funcionaba, no hemos podido disfrutarlos. Para ir al baño hay que andar unos 100-200m según donde esta la cabaña y con el frió en pleno invierno se hace difícil. La cabaña es pequeña pero calentita y acogedora. Hay que pagar un suplemento para las sábanas y toallas.

The property was very nice, I enjoyed the interactive troll themed hiking trails and spring fed hot tubs in the evening. Cabins were clean and cozy, probably the comfiest mattress I slept on durning my trip. Each cabin had a small mini fridge and the shared bathrooms were only a 30 second walk away. Restaurant on site was good as well, friendly staff and delicious food. The waterfall is overlooks was stunning. All in all this was my favorite stay of my trip, I hope to return in the future.

the bathrooms are a good 5 to 10minute walk from your stay, but these pods were so cute and memorable. we loved our stay here! the night skies were clear and we were able to see both stars and northern lights together. it's nestled into a woodsy area so it was very quiet and peaceful.

Pod was really fun to stay in. Car parked adjacent to your pod. Private enough despite all surrounding pods being occupied. Paid additional for supplied linen and towel - very basic and looked well used/tired. Towels were good. Shared showers involved two open showers next to each other in a small room - did not use as did not have appropriate footwear. A number of private toilets scattered around the site. Overall found the shower/bathroom underwhelming and was glad to move onto our next accommodation. Two shared kitchens were well equipped including a small microwave oven.

This place is a gem! The pods are not huge but very cozy - more than what we needed. Finding the place was easy and staff was super nice. Parking is right next to your pod. You will need to bring your beddings or you can rent there for a fee. The little hiking trail right next to it and the wifi/common area was a nice plus, and the spa too! The restaurant offers an amazing view and their breakfast is very decent. A small problem we had was that the washrooms did run out of toilet papers sometimes. Overall well worth the money, recommend!!

Nous avons passé un bon séjour dans notre pod. Cependant, nous sommes un peu déçus de la propreté du logement et des communs (en particulier les espaces douches). Ils sont trop petit, en mauvaise état et très sale. Les toilettes ne sont pas nettoyés chaque jour. Nous avons beaucoup appréciés le petit déjeuner (copieux et diversifié).

An enjoyable experience somewhere between a decent hotel and camping. Shared kitchen, bath, and shower areas were clean and everything in working order. We stayed in -20C weather and camping pods were cozy and comfortable. We saw the northern lights both nights. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We only had one meal there—no complaints. Drinks and vinyl in the main house at night are a must for music lovers. The troll walk is is a riot, even for adults! Borgarnes is 20 minutes away and is a great town to explore during the day—just another reason to stay at Fossatun. The Settlement Museum is a must for anyone wishing to learn more about Icelandic history. Narrated headphone tours in lots of languages come with the price of admission. All in all, a great area and Fossatun is a fun and memorable place to stay.

Stayed in small camping pod and loved it. Loved the atmosphere there. Overall, much greater than I expected, and I already was excited for the stay. the restaurant overlooking the waterfalls and river, the troll garden stroll, the hot tubs. All superb. It is in a remote area and provided us an excellent view of the northern lights, which we watched from the hot tub. Ideal experience, I recommend giving it a shot.

I love the settings of this place, just next to a beautiful waterfall. The hot tub has water from natural hot spring. very reasonable price. You could bring your own sleeping bag and rent from them at a price of 2,000ISk per person (around $15). Will come back if I visit Iceland again

An enjoyable experience somewhere between a decent hotel and camping. Shared kitchen, bath, and shower areas were clean and everything in working order. We stayed in -20C weather and camping pods were cozy and comfortable. We saw the northern lights both nights. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We only had one meal there—no complaints. Drinks and vinyl in the main house at night are a must for music lovers. The troll walk is is a riot, even for adults! Borgarnes is 20 minutes away and is a great town to explore during the day—just another reason to stay at Fossatun. The Settlement Museum is a must for anyone wishing to learn more about Icelandic history. Narrated headphone tours in lots of languages come with the price of admission. All in all, a great area and Fossatun is a fun and memorable place to stay.

The pods were extremely confirmed cozy! There were three radiators so we were warm. The property is beautiful and the staff was welcoming and accommodating. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant and both were fantastic. I will definitely stay here again when I return!

Great bargain option! Gorgeous waterfall area on the property, good breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. Very peaceful area. Stayed in the camping pod, very basic but had a comfortable bed. The mini fridge in my room only could fit maybe one can of soda and it didn't seem to work, and the shower was a communal shower and make sure you bring shower shoes it did not look like it was deep cleaned in a long time, but it if you consider you are essentially camping its really not a big deal. Spa tubs were nice as well but only open limited hours. If you are looking for a nice budget option to stay in this area stay here!

The property was very nice, I enjoyed the interactive troll themed hiking trails and spring fed hot tubs in the evening. Cabins were clean and cozy, probably the comfiest mattress I slept on durning my trip. Each cabin had a small mini fridge and the shared bathrooms were only a 30 second walk away. Restaurant on site was good as well, friendly staff and delicious food. The waterfall is overlooks was stunning. All in all this was my favorite stay of my trip, I hope to return in the future.

Die Ferienhütte war sehr schön und für unsere zwei Nächte auf jeden Fall ausreichend. Trotz der kühleren Temperaturen war es angenehm warm in der Hütte. Die Umgebung bietet einige Wanderwege und im Restaurant kann man mit Ausblick auf den angrenzenden Fluss frühstücken bzw. Abendessen.

My second time staying at the pods. Such a beautiful setting. Friendly staff, great food - with a view of a mountain and waterfall. Shared bathroom is worth it for the price.
