The check in was a smooth and easy process. There was construction going on around the property on the road which made things confusing, created detour. The room was nice but when other people left or entered their room it was really loud as the sound would carry- to the point it sounded like they were accessing your room. People came and went throughout the night so it was loud with doors slamming whiling trying to sleep. It didn’t come with tea or coffee which was unfortunate but not a big deal. all other properties we stayed at in Iceland, that had a kitchen, included coffee and tea in the room so it was surprising this one didn’t. Beds were comfy, room was big and a great space. Overall it was a good location, great room, but loud from other guests. It was a good stop along the way. We also managed to see some northern lights which was lovely

Nice base for exploring SW Iceland. Odd property - new IKEA look for an old roadside motel. Stayed 5 days - trash collection stopped after 2 days and no note on where to take it. Shower design floods the entire bathroom so don’t leave anything on the floor. Town nearby was cute and volcano is an hour down the road.

Check in was very confusing as no one was there to check anyone in. Using phone system that did not work. Entire place smelled very bad. Loud late at night. Overpriced for what it was.

Easy to find and pick up keys directly outside our room using the PIN provided prior to our stay. We spent 3 nights here and for the most part loved it. The room was clean, as was the linen and towels and the shower and WiFi was excellent. We had everything we needed for self-catering, a hob, fridge, kettle, utensils, coffee maker, but the toaster was broken and needed to be held down to keep it on. There were some bugs in the room that kept reappearing to the dismay of my wife. We didn't bump into anyone else during our stay here and the only time we spoke to someone was when the staff knocked our door to ask if we needed anything. The cleaners were banging around early in the morning too making way too much noise. Overall pretty decent stay with some drawbacks.

This was one the nicer place we stayed during our trip to Iceland. There is no front desk at this property. We called earlier in the day and we were given our room number and the code for the key lock box. We were able to arrive any time after 4pm, which was nice not trying to rush to the hotel to check in by a certain time. There was a kitchen, bathroom with a shower, and TV in the room. The room and the main building was clean and we had no issues. This stay was definitely worth the price we paid.

Good Shelter for the night, but creepy.
It works for a night. Went in October, the place is quite creepy since it’s in the middle of nowhere and there’s nobody there. I’ve stayed in self-checkins in Iceland before, this one had a different vibe. However, it serves it’s purpose: shelter for the night. Kitchen in room is stocked, bathroom’s good and the tv has a lot of channels.

Literally a S***hole
This property is a self check in service, our room had no key in the lockbox as it hadn't been cleaned from the previous guest that stayed there. After 15 minutes of trying to contact somebody who worked for the apartment, we were given a replacement room. The new room smelled of raw sewerage, the water in the S bend of the toilet wasn't there so the sewer line was venting into our room - if you've been to the streets of Thailand you'll know the smell. We complained about the unbearable odour and after another 15 minutes we got a new room with the exact same problem. The lady on the phone said that she has no other options and would offer us a refund yet offered no sympathy. This was at 7pm and finding replacement accomodation was very costly and difficult. Thinking this would be the end of it they have refused our refund dispite an email and confirmation over the phone saying they would. Even if everything was perfect the place is in the middle of nowhere and is overpriced for what you get. Please, take my word for it. This is not worth the time or money.

Great place, all newly remodeled. Fair price and not to far from Selfoss. Only suggestion would be that the owners do something about he echo in the hallway. It amplifies the noise when people are coming and going. Other then that we never heard any other guests. Would stay here again!

No hot water..!
The room we were allocated in the email was not made up and had been used. We had to phone and were just told to go to another room, no apology and the lady didnt seem atall surprised. The apartment is nice though, clean and spacious but we have no hot water and no spoons. We had to eat breakfast with a tea spoon! This place could be great, as it is though its not.

Il luogo è tranquillo la camera abbastanza grande, per avere la chiave ti inviano una mail con i codici. Ma la cucina non era molto pulita e quando si fa la doccia si allarga tutto il bagno (2 cm d'acqua)!

Für eine Nacht absolut OK.
Von außen macht das Hotel einen etwas heruntergekommenen Eindruck. Innen sah es allerdings nach einer vor kurzem durchgeführten Renovierung aus. Das Zimmer war recht groß und OK. Nach der Buchung des Hotels bekamen wir per Email unsere Zimmernummer mitgeteilt und den Code für den Eingangsbereich und für das Zimmer. Wo man den Code für den Eingangsbereich hätte eingeben könnne, blieb uns ein Rätsel. Zum Glück waren die Türen geöffnet. Der Code für das Zimmer funktionierte einwandfrei. Frühstück gibt es nicht und man muss sich selbst verpflegen.

Wir waren nur auf der Durchreise, so dass der Komfort nicht so wichtig war. Der Raum war allerdings sehr klein. Das Bad roch etwas unangenehm. Wie häufig auf Island bekamen wir niemanden zu Gesicht.
