Clean room. Property set against a mountain with 2 small waterfalls, very scenic and secluded. No shoes allowed inside, which makes it a little difficult to get in and out. A little porch will make it easier to put/take shoes on/off in rhe cold
The room was beautiful and had a great view from above. It was close to the areas we wanted to explore and easy to get to. We would definitely recommend it and stay again.

Well, I was expecting a room that looked like the pictures, but I think that's the second floor w those big windows. Instead, we got a room on the ground floor around the side corner of the garage. No clue on where to park so we just parked somewhere hoping it didn't block others. The room was quite big, but there was no table or desk to put stuff on, everything ended up on the floor which I hate. The bathroom is pretty nice but again very lacking in counter space. I've found that even basic hotels in Iceland have very good bathrooms! So much space, maybe add a desk? Otherwise, very clean.
Wonderful Property!! Large room, comfortable bed. Wonderful, waterfall shower. Beautiful view! Dinner at sister property was excellent. May want to bring food with you! Very limited on places to eat.
Beautiful views, large place and well laid out. Town if fantastic and all the locals out walking at night. Wonderful walk on path following coast and returned through the town. Sunset spectacular! Highly recommend.
Gorgeous area, far from the madding crowd but close enough to glacier lagoon. Two lovely restaurants nearby - sister hotel next door and Hali restaurant 5minute drive away.
Beautiful room, perfect view, great shower, mini fridge and tea and coffee. A wonderful place.
We LOVED this hotel! The room was spotless, super comfortable beds and amazing views right outside. Behind the "house" there are waterfalls. Location was super close to the Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon. This was our favorite hotel for our trip in Iceland and wish we had the opportunity to stay longer than a night.
We liked the property, room was spacious and clean. Location is perfect. We also used the 10% discount to the sister hotel. Host sent the room unlocking instructions on time. We felt comfortable and would recommend this property
A lovely room in a location convenient to the glacier and beach. The views are beautiful, especially the waterfall on the back side of the property which was visible from our shower. The area is not very close to gas and food options, but the hotel across the street had a wonderful breakfast buffet.
Ekra Glacier Lagoon was a really nice place for us to stay near Jökulsárlón and Diamond Beach. The setting was gorgeous with a bunch of waterfalls right behind our room! It's set back away from the road, so it was very quiet and peaceful. The bed was super comfortable and had firm and soft pillows to choose from. The room was clean and had a mini fridge, kettle, french press, with coffee, tea, sugar and creamer. I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit the South Coast of Iceland. Thank you for providing such a nice and comfortable place to stay! :)
The room was as advertised. There was no staff which was nice since a lot of hotels have check in ending at 8 pm. The parking situation was confusing since there are only three spots but I called the emergency number and the gentleman instructed us to park anywhere as long as it doesn't block the cars and views of the guests.
