Good direction instructions. Chalet type quality building better than average but not luxurious - in isolated nature location with expansive views. Main benefit in winter is night-over location for next day visit to Hofn & Jokulsarlon glacier. Location easily accessed off A1 main road route. Only a 7/10 as a value proposition - lack of even a basic breakfast purchase option. A yogurt,fruit & croissant or sandwich via vending machine or breakfast box would add value. No amenities closeby. Note: If coming from Southwest last eatery on A1 is about 63km before residence. An hour to the East most Hofn restaurants closed for winter. Lock box entrance process efficient. Second floor apartment accessed by metal stairs. Three roof covered parking spaces utilized by three lower floor residents.No problem with parking on lot. Big wooden deck on upper floor for two available rooms. Larger third abode was cordoned off. Perhaps the latter abode has a hot tub but none was visible on site. Room was very warm on entrance. Comfortable bed. Request for not walking in shoes inside wood floored room. After seeing a tourist enter a shop in clampons I fully understand the need. A shoe rack though would be a welcome addition in winter. Bathroom and toilet combined. Ventilation is via small window. Electricity socket each side of bed. No usb outlets.So bring your own suitable plug. Good quality internet:53mbsdownload, 41 upload.TV was not programmed but Netflix/Disney was accessible. Wine opener Kettle & drinking crockery/cafetière & coffee,tea,sugar is provided.

Security cameras were very small, discreet and intrusive - directed straight into room windows! No microwave or heating/cooking possibilities Need to have dined before evening arrival and breakfast groceries pre-purchased

It’s of a good size

A bit difficult to find and without windows, it gets a bit stuffy

Amazing property, very private, very comfortable, this is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway. The bathroom floor was heated, shower area so spacious with a heated towel rack, big sink area with a lovely mirror. The parking was great, you can even charge your car. The staff cleaned the snow bright and early so we didn’t have to deal with it. The staff helped assist us with any questions we had or issues (don’t leave your key in your room) we would definitely come back to this facility, 100% worth the money. So happy we choose this.

It was a bit far from any food places, better off to bring instant noodles as they have a kettle or bring left overs when your out and about as they have a fridge.

The room was clean and comfortable, with a modern design. The bed was cozy, and the amenities provided were appreciated. The glacier mountain view in the morning was absolutely breathtaking. I had a good stay at this place.

Since it's a self-service hotel, it is really hard to find help if we need it. We had some difficulties opening the key box and there wasn't anyone to help but fortunately, we figured it out ourselves. The coffee maker in our room was dirty. We tried to clean it, but it's still dirty.

Great location to explore the nearby glacier lakes, beautiful, clean new room with comfortable beds and great view over the valley. Communication with the guesthouse was great.

The road to the guesthouse is very difficult to get up to by car and there's no staff at the guesthouse (nor breakfast or any snacks available). Gladly we knew about this from reading other people's reviews. The room had a kettle and tea/coffee provided but that's all so remember to bring your own food! Closest restaurant is about 10min drive away and closes early. Also the Ekra glacier lagoon did not have water in it when we stayed there in early August, but you could see the bigger glacier in distance from the guesthouse.

The view out the widow and off the deck were great. The room was decorated very nicely. It was contactless check in. Shower was nice. I would definitely rent this place again.

Not a lot of places to park. I couldn't get the TV to play anything other than a Spanish Netflix channel. Also the room was conjoined to the next one with a sign to keep it locked. Not sure how secure that was but I didn't have any issues.

The last place was really comfy and good. The location was nice.

Buuuuut the walls are thin and theirs a bar or maybe a shed that some locals hangout at? I have no idea. But they were loud until 1:30am! And the worst thing was how all the lights stay on outside. The northern lights were up and we had a hard time taking photos and seeing them due to the lights. You would think they would be mindful of that.

Room was lovely, very well done and they had Netflix which we needed as weather was awful on arrival day. View is lovely from atop the hill and on leaving we could see the waterfall behind which would have been nice to walk to if time. Location to glacier lagoon is great, worked will for us with a glacier tour from there in the morning. Nothing really else around, had to drive about 10 min to find a place for dinner. Breakfast option at lagoon cafe.

The location of the property, so close to Jokulsarlon, is perfect. At night we went back to the Lagoon to see the Northern Lights. House is on a hill. Unfortunately our room was number 3 which has hardly any view towards the ocean. Decoration of the room is very simple but nice. The communication with the owner is all by email but very well taken care of. Good instructions how to reach the property, code of the door etc.

The tiles on the bathroom floor are very, very slippery. The accommodation offers no breakfast so you will have to bring your own. Would have been nice if the table in the room was higher so easier to eat from. Where to park was not clear to all guests but that was probably because of the ice and snow.

It was exceptional. The view was stunning, the bed was extremely comfy, the room was clean, check in was smooth. Waking up to the view was refreshing, the interior design looks great as well. Enjoyed every second there.

It could be a little tricky to find the location but the directions are clear. Just pay attention to the road signs and you will be fine!
