Although the cabins were tiny it served its purpose for viewing the northern lights and the staff were exceptionally friendly. It is pretty far from any other sites retauraunts etc..

The reception staff moved me to another smaller room without any clear reason, even though they have sent me the room # and key box code of the first room to my email. Hope they can improve their service in the future.

Good for a 1 night stay
The room was clean and the bed fine. But the room was small; my wife and i took turns opening our suitcases. Location was nice, but a little ways out of Selfoss.

Dorota

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Clean, quiet, warm, tea/coffee/juice/water available till 23:00, friendly and helpful staff, good value for money. There's a table/chair in the room. With two single beds located in two different corners of the room, only one had access to a socket (no use of the little lamp near the bed, no chance to charge your phone near the bed). The reception and common area with tea and coffee are in a different building than the rooms. So I would really appreciate a kettle and mugs in a room or at least in the buildings where the rooms are. This would make sense when you arrive after 23:00 or when the weather's terrible.

Dissatisfied
The double room booked was very small and misleading from the pictures, it felt like a small cabin. The room booking stated a queen sized bed, however I got two small beds pushed together. The bathroom facilities were not great. I would not stay here again
