- "Views, location, hot tub" - "This hotel is absolutely what every hotel needs to be! From the first step inside it feels like home. The first thing You see is the beautiful common area with the fireplace in the middle. Just sit down and read a book, play a game of chess or enjoy a nice talk to your fellow partner. The next thing you notice is the awesome bar and the fancy restaurant. The room is amazing. It is bigger than any other room on our Iceland trip. Awesome bathroom with nice tiles and design. Probably the best and most comfortable beds of our whole trip, and the most important part, it was definitely the most silent room we had. You couldn’t even hear the doors of the other rooms or that someone is walking outside. In the evening after an exhausting day you can relax in the infrared sauna and after that jump into the hot tub. Absolute recommendation. The breakfast is really amazing too and depending on where you seat yourself, you will enjoy a nice view while seating in sunshine."

- "Everything about the guesthouse was just magical! The owners are so kind and our room was so cute. We enjoyed an amazing dinner at the guesthouse, definitely recommend making a reservation! The owners are amazing chefs! Also had a breathtaking view of the northern lights!" - "Very friendly owners, exceptional setting, tastefully decorated rooms." - "Room and bathroom/shower are clean and stylish. The common area with the seaview (where you can have self-serving hot tea and relax) immediately feels like home. The dinner is quite delicious but is indeed on the more expensive side - also all guests joining the dinner would sit at the communal tables so it may not be for everyone. Breakfast is one of the best we had in the country."
