We had requested a twin room, but arrived later than expected and got a full size bed. The room was extremely small and difficult to move around in due to the size. It was clean and the staff were lovely. Dinner was on the pricier end, but it was some of the best chicken I’ve possibly ever had!

The cottage was clean, nicely updated, and very comfortable. The staff at the location of check in were not friendly; and even though they touted laundry as an available amenity, it was clear they disnt want to honornthat. We ended up washing clothes in the sinks at the cottage.

Just beautiful- we used Icelandic Mountain Guides to go out of the glacier. I’d highly recommend. An experience of a lifetime.
