The front desk receptionist was superb when we realized we would be arriving late with very helpful instructions! I really wanted to give a 5 star rating for everything, but the facility upkeep needs work; I won't mention details since they are very obvious. Also, a sign at the driveway about a block away would be helpful to direct guests to the correct driveway. Correct street sign, but wrong entrance. Great breakfast!

Beautiful Valley

This is a gorgeous spot to stay. I loved the the hot tub, and our room was quite comfortable. There was limited options for dinner for us, as the vegetarian option wasn't available, but they were great to make something up for us. Would recommend this place.

9月半ばに利用しました。 外に浴槽があって、水着を来てほとんどの時間いつでも入れて良かったです。 アイスランドの映画「RUM」に写っているトンガリ山はホテルの前の山らしいです。 岩山に挟まれた谷合に位置しており、夕方とても景色が良かったです。 朝食が非常に美味しく、スキールも食べられました。 頼んだら水筒にお湯を入れてくれました。 部屋はこじんまりとしていましたが、騒音なども無く、部屋の窓から山も見え快適でした。 共同で、トイレにシャワーが付いたバスルーム2つあります。 フェイスタオルとバスタオルが用意されており、使い終わったらバスルームのカゴに入れるシステムです。

Georgia

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Cute place to stay, was very clean, the scenery was beautiful. The negative was that all the doors were very heavy and the two beds in the double room were very narrow. We got a room with the shared bathroom, but the doors were heavy and the room wasn't very spundproof so we could hear other guests opening and closing doors and packing, and I always was worried about the noise I was making when I was opening and closing my door at night. Ultimately though, if you're a heavy sleeper, this place would be a great stay.

We were extremely satisfied with our stay here. This guesthouse had flexible check-in, a spacious and welcoming room, cozy beds, and a nice clean bathroom. We were also provided breakfast the next morning which is always a wonderful touch. All in all, this place is well worth the stay (and conveniently located near Akureyri on the ring road)

They obviously know that they have an issue with people finding their location so they give you the coordinates. We first went to a location in the city-not it. Then drove through the mountain fog for an hour to the location where the coordinates took us. A farm I. The middle of nowhere- also not it. We never found it. They really need to provide specific directions to the facility (if it actually exists)- completely disappointed and angry as alternatives weren’t available

Usentralt men sentralt. Kjempeservice, hjemmekoselig og pent sted. Ligger midt i ingenmannsland men perfekt for turer, stopp langs veien og er stille rolig og komfortabelt. Meget god og enkel frokost.
