Guests value the quiet evenings, waterfall views, and easy walks for early or late visits, with occasional daytime crowds from tour buses. Some rooms are recently renovated or stylish, while others have firmer beds or feel stuffy. Overall, expect a scenic, service-focused stay ideal for waterfall access and northern-lights viewing.

La estancia fue excelente. Es un sitio muy bonito, ubicado en frente de las catarás de Godafoss. Tiene un restaurante que es buena opción para cenar porque en la zona no hay nada más, aunque las cocina es normal. En el buffet de desayuno mejor madrugar porque paran 200 autobuses, se llena de turistas y se vuelve muy ruidoso. La habitación es limpia, cómoda y silenciosa. Las habitaciones están en una especie de cabañas contiguas unas de otras con terracita. Muy agradable. Pero todo depende si tus "vecinos" son silenciosos. El personal del hotel excelente.

We were in the yellow side building. Our room was very small. The bathroom was tiny and had the smallest sink I have ever seen in my life- slightly larger than my hand- hard to wash your face. Hotel is right across from Godafoss waterfall- not in the town area of Laugar. Paid extra for breakfast and it was very nice- even had a choose your own espresso machine. Dated decor. Shower very slippery but so small chances are good you won’t fall.

A little gem. This property is walking distance to Godafoss, a spectacular horseshoe falls in Iceland. You can even see parts of the falls from the lobby. While so close to the water, you can barely hear the falls and river. A great night sleep. Hotel And restaurant are managed by a friendly and efficient staff. Rooms seem recently renovated, very clean and efficient. The property gives a “cabin” or “chalet” vibe. We had dinner in the restaurant. Food was good, however for dinner they would benefit from a larger selection and a couple higher end choices. Overall a great place to stay for one or multiple nights.

Unique experience near falls. Weather was beautiful and sunny (people wearing tank tops), was told this was unusual. Unfortunately, I was catching up on sleep and didn't wake up early to walk near the falls. Would be a great place to stay to take night aurora pictures. However, rooms very dated/stuffy, food very expensive (one tortilla with some chicken and peppers cost $30--ridiculous) and isolated to do anything other than Godafoss (which is packed with tourists and buses all day), so be wary of this. I actually cut my stay short one day (no refund) to explore other areas, so be aware of limiting your driving around the ring road and prioritizing what to see. I would actually stay here again if available, but for one day on my trip around.

Great location, across the street is Godafoss, and then you can be there in the early morning or evening and see it without many tourists. The hotel is nice, we were in the separate building; all clean, and spacious, not modern, but functional. The breakfast is excellent.

Roomservice wechselt Tasse und Glas nicht aus, Abfall wurde die ganzen 4 Tage nicht geleert. Absonsten aber ein gutes Hotel, nette Gastgeber, toller Blick auf Goðafoss. Empfehlung für Fotos und Eindrücke erst nach 20 Uhr den Wasserfall besuchen, da sonst total überfüllt, teilweise bis zu über 15 Reisebusse auf dem Parkplatz und tonnenweise Menschen. Am Abend aber toll, wenn alle Touris wieder auf ihrem Schiff sind.

We loved the property's location across from Godafoss waterfall. We found that our room was located in a small building next to the main building. The room and bath were rather small and the beds were a bit hard. It had a charm to it but not the most comfortable stay we have had here in Iceland.

La estancia fue excelente. Es un sitio muy bonito, ubicado en frente de las catarás de Godafoss. Tiene un restaurante que es buena opción para cenar porque en la zona no hay nada más, aunque las cocina es normal. En el buffet de desayuno mejor madrugar porque paran 200 autobuses, se llena de turistas y se vuelve muy ruidoso. La habitación es limpia, cómoda y silenciosa. Las habitaciones están en una especie de cabañas contiguas unas de otras con terracita. Muy agradable. Pero todo depende si tus "vecinos" son silenciosos. El personal del hotel excelente.

Amazing location. The room was brand new, stylish and very clean. Restaurant was great with very good quality food. Breakfast at the restaurant was reasonably priced and offered standard options.

Great breakfast and the location is unbeatable when the Aurora is out and you want to photograph it with the waterfall.

A little gem. This property is walking distance to Godafoss, a spectacular horseshoe falls in Iceland. You can even see parts of the falls from the lobby. While so close to the water, you can barely hear the falls and river. A great night sleep. Hotel And restaurant are managed by a friendly and efficient staff. Rooms seem recently renovated, very clean and efficient. The property gives a “cabin” or “chalet” vibe. We had dinner in the restaurant. Food was good, however for dinner they would benefit from a larger selection and a couple higher end choices. Overall a great place to stay for one or multiple nights.

Unique experience near falls. Weather was beautiful and sunny (people wearing tank tops), was told this was unusual. Unfortunately, I was catching up on sleep and didn't wake up early to walk near the falls. Would be a great place to stay to take night aurora pictures. However, rooms very dated/stuffy, food very expensive (one tortilla with some chicken and peppers cost $30--ridiculous) and isolated to do anything other than Godafoss (which is packed with tourists and buses all day), so be wary of this. I actually cut my stay short one day (no refund) to explore other areas, so be aware of limiting your driving around the ring road and prioritizing what to see. I would actually stay here again if available, but for one day on my trip around.

The hotel staff was extremely welcoming when we arrived. The room was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed meeting the owner Graciela and getting to know about their hotel! It is right next to the waterfall of the same name!

Perfect spot right next to the Godafoss Falls to base a few days in the Diamond Circle. The room was cozy and efficient. The staff were wonderful. And drinking a glass of wine on the picnic tables facing the Falls was a perfect way to end each day.
