I loved the comfortable bed, kitchen with dishwasher, loft area with the chairs, the high level of cleanliness, very kind owner and the location in Kalfafellsstadur on a farm. It is very dark so it is a great spot to see the Northern Lights

Everything was super new, it seems that this place has just started operating very recently. All the furniture including the kitchen tools are very new which is a plus. The view from the big window of the glacier was also one of the highlights. I would rate this place as one of the best accommodations we've booked on our ring road trip.

The restaurant was closed during our visit due to it being off-season (late September) but the breakfast buffet was served in the restaurant and had a customary Icelandic spread (fruit, meats and cheeses, assorted bread, tea, and coffee). The atmosphere was very welcoming with the hosts and it was a beautiful and relaxing rustic setting. I highly recommend!

Our room was large and comfortable, even had a couple of chairs and an ottoman! Most of our rooms in Iceland were so small so having the opportunity to spread a bit was a very happy surprise. I got a message a few days in advance with some instructions. My key would be at the front desk with my name and they informed me they had complimentary coffee, tea, yogurt and cereals in the morning. In the message they also apologized for not offering breakfast. I was like What?! Where I come from some hotels call cereal and yogurt breakfast and charge you for it. I would have been happy with coffee alone lol! Anyway, I read somewhere they had laundry facilities available, so I was banking on doing some laundry there. When I asked where I could do my laundry and if there was an extra charge, they were a bit confused but immediately showed me to the hotel's laundry room and let me use it!! This was very nice of them. Lastly, they have the cutest garden, looks like your grandma's place.
