Beautiful hotel, perfect location for exploring the glacier etc. The outdoor spas are fantastic, relaxing in such breathtaking surrounds is magic. The staff are warm and so approachable, nothing was a problem for them. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the restaurant and a hottub soak under the stars. Thankyou to all the staff and Benny (with his log for a stick) for a great stay, we will be back.

​We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location was absolutely perfect for our itinerary, serving as an ideal base for easily reaching both the Golden Circle attractions and the stunning sights along the Southern Coast. After long days of exploring, the beds were very comfortable. ​A bonus was the lovely hot tub; it was the ultimate way to relax under the Icelandic sky. The breakfast provided was decent, offering enough to get us fueled up and ready for our daily adventures. Highly recommend this spot for anyone road-tripping in the area!

Great and spacious rooms (we had tried the Japanese inspired junior suite and then 1 night in the large suite), both offered great space (latter with a jacuzzi in the room). Overall excellent service across full experience, great restaurant and beautiful peaceful landscape. Additionally, star gazing observatory is very nice and guide explains the beautiful skyscape. We got super lucky and caught the Northern Lights for over an hour during the star gazing tour!

This was an excellent hotel, the room was spacious and the view was lovely. We ate in the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed the burger and soup. The breakfast choice was varied and plenty of it. The staff were most helpful when I asked for hot water for my flask. Overall this Hotel did exceed my expectations. Highly recommended.

A very nice welcome from the young man at reception, who advised us to visit the canyon nearby (which we didn't know about so was a nice surprise). The rooms are a little basic but were really clean and warm. We were able to dry out all our gear on the radiators. Dinner was quite nice though nothing standout.

Having to 'get around Ring Road' definitely has its drawbacks. The biggest one we found was when you found a great place, your time there was limited. We did stop for the Lava Show in Vik, which was great, and we had dinner there as well. There was not enough time to really see everything before having to move on.

Iceland is a very expensive place to travel and this guest house was average price for Iceland but the quality of the rooms were low average. Our room had such a bad slope on it we had to sleep at the other end of the bed with our heads above our feet. The bathroom had a toilet in the middle of the room, you had to walk around it to get to the shower and even though the room came with breakfast included it was very poor quality.

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.
