The location, as far as inbetween Reykjavik and the Snaefellsnes peninsula, was excellent. The view from the back of the hotel and all around was lovely! The actual view from our room was a big disappointment as we were looking at the road and another building. However, I did like having the balcony and we actually saw the northern lights one night off the balcony. There was a herd of Icelandic horses directly across the highway and that was amazing to get so close to them! We ate dinner there one night and it was excellent. Our room was spotlessly clean and it was nice to have the kitchenette. Overall, I highly recommend and hope to be back. It would have been perfect if we had mamaged to get one of the rooms with a view, but I guess that is luck of the draw (and arrival time).

The view from our room was of a building. Also, you have to go into the restaurant to check in and the waiter is the one doing everything there, so we had to wait a little bit to get into our room.

Great place! I had a good sleep. Room was clean, and packed with all the equipment. Got washer and dryer, which makes it convenient because laundromat is not common in Iceland. So, once in a few days during my trip, I planned to stop at hotels like this.

Overall the place is great already, so there is no big deal here. But maybe the water stopper in the shower enclosure could be a bit bigger (higher) because water keeps spilling out. I am surprised that with the stove and hood where people could do a bit serious cooking there and the place is still kept clean. Hope it's not too much work for the owner. For me, just microwave and kettle is enough during travel.

Wonderful family run hotel in a great location! The owners are very nice and warm people. Comfortable bed with great linens. The room was absolutely spotless! Great amenities that include a hot tub with a great view, sauna and a laundry room ( that was so much need for us). Private balcony with amazing views! The restaurant had the best fish stew! Highly recommend staying here!

Loved everything

The place was clean, quiet and had everything we needed to cook and get by for a family of 5. The towels were changed & the trash was taken out daily (maybe even unnecessarily, I'd say, if it was less frequent, we'd be okay as well). The communication ran smoothly even when the reception was closed (via booking.com messenger). The shop is about 12 mins drive away.

We got a bit unlucky when it came to the restaurant - it happened to be closed during our stay. It's okay, it happens. However, it would be great to know in advance (we only found out after we arrived).

We absolutely loved this property! We got to stay in the cabin, which was perfect for us. It had a well-stocked kitchen and a few other amenities which made staying her for a couple of days really easy. The location is fantastic - you could just stay around the local area and explore for ages. The cabin was also heated by a natural spring which really added to the expeirence. We didn’t need to speak to the staff much, but when we did, they were very helpful and friendly.

Nothing!

We stayed in one of the apartments at Laxárbakki for one night only. It was a really good night of sleep and the place had everything one would possibly need (even washing machine inside our apartment). The view was lovely and a huge bonus was the restaurant! Home made lovely Icelandic dishes made our stay more welcoming and enjoyable. The owners were kind and accommodating! We are truly grateful for your hospitality and surely would stay again (possibly, when we come back during summer season).

All was great! It would be nice to stay longer than one night. )

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel room (Triple Deluxe) has a separate entrance and it is enormous. Cupboard space is not an issue here. It has a sofa, table, TV, 3 beds, and a large kitchen table top including oven and microwave. There were a toaster, coffee-machine and a kettle. The shower was hot and good, the bathroom clean and the bed comfortable.

The kitchen was a little bit underequipped for utensils. Whereas there were plenty of cutlery, plates and bowls, cups and glasses, but only 1 saucepan and 1 cooking pot. There were no condiments, so if you didn't bring your own salt and oil, it will be a bit harder to cook something efficiently.

The room was comfortable and had amazing views across the snow capped mountains. Our room had a balcony, we spent all of our 4 nights on the balcony watching the Northern Lights - WOW- just WOW! It was also fantastic that our room had a kitchenette, which meant we could do our own thing. Brynjar provided lots of tourist advise - thank you!

As we stayed for 4 nights, it would have been great to have a sofa, rather than the breakfast bar - we had nowhere really to six and just relax, other than the bed!

By very far, the best accommodation we have had in all our trip across Iceland. Places like these should be all the way round. The apartment was widely comfortable, with excellent features and appliances, fully equipped, and well spacious. Right next to the main road, but the noise isolation works great, so the location is perfect for a night-stop on the way. Excellent communication with the staff, as we checked in late, and they have solved everything for us, even replying quickly to our messages.

Everything was perfect. The people there are welcoming and friendly. Loads of space to park. Dinner was really nice. Easily the best view we had from any accommodation during our time in Iceland (which is really saying something because it's a beautiful country). The room was spacious, comfortable and clean with all the facilities we could possibly have wanted. We used the hot tub and sauna shortly after we arrived which was just perfect after our long journey.
