10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic Stay! Perfect Location for Glacier Adventures! We absolutely loved our stay at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon! The location was perfect for exploring this beautiful part of Iceland, especially if you’re planning to visit the glacier, take an ice cave tour, or experience the Zodiac boat tour at Jökulsárlón. You really couldn’t ask for a better location! We were pleasantly surprised to receive two complimentary drink coupons, which was such a nice touch! The breakfast was phenomenal—seriously, one of the best breakfasts of our trip! We also had dinner at the hotel one evening, and the food was excellent. The servers were wonderful, and the entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The atmosphere made it such a fun and relaxing place to return to after a full day of exploring. We loved everything about this hotel, from the food and hospitality to the incredible location. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone exploring Iceland’s glaciers and the South Coast!"

"Staff was friendly and helpful. Everyday the basic breakfast was good and convenient. No restaurant but other lodgings in the area have restaurants. The location is not remote as it's right off the ring road, but it's quiet and beautiful with a main hiking trailhead on the property. The rooms were clean and basic, ifugh for"

Old Cottage - Reynivellir II

8/10 Good
"Check-in is at a different location than the Cottage, so be sure to review the messages from the hotel before arrival regarding check-in location. We were the first guests to arrive for the evening. Our room was clean and tidy upon arrival, and so was the bathroom and kitchen/common area. The cottage was full and we were on the 2nd floor with 2 bathrooms. Each bathroom only had 1 bath mat, which disappeared after the 2nd person took a shower. (Each room should be provided its own bathmat, not 1 per bathroom. Besides ensuring we'd have use of a bathmat, it's more sanitary.) The bathroom doors/doorknobs were sticky and required a bit of "slam" to close, making it noisy for guests, especially those right across the hall. There should also be some indication where extra toilet paper and blow dryer are stored. When we called about it, we weren't told it was in the drawer below the sink (thought it was a false drawer so hadn't looked), but was told to look in the other bathroom. Not helpful. Other guests left food in the sink drain after cooking/eating. Sign should indicate to throw in garbage. The cottage is relatively old, even though the bathroom and kitchen area have been updated, and it sounded/felt like we were going to go through the floor when walking around in our room."
