Highlights

+Excellent location near Seljalandsfoss with mountain views and lupin fields
+Modern, clean and comfortable rooms for most guests
+Helpful/kind staff in many stays (assist with dinner, flexible)
+Good breakfast; on-site dinner options and honour-system fridge
+Peaceful, nature-surrounded setting ideal for excursions

Could Improve

–Remote property requiring driving off the main road
–Limited staffing / largely self-service (staff present mainly mornings)
–Occasional cleanliness issues (unclean shower, rough duvet) and one report of strong manure/tractor odour
–Isolated food handling issue (expired gluten-free bread) and pre-ordering dinner policy
–Perception by some that price is high for the level of service

Cleanliness7.7

Mostly described as clean and the property is noted as new by several guests, but there are specific negative reports (unclean shower tiles, rough duvet cover, and a pervasive manure/tractor odour in one stay) that lower the score.

Service8.5

Staff are often described as kind, helpful and accommodating (allowed dinner on check-in, assisted guests), but multiple comments note limited staffing (only mornings), some unfriendly interactions and a self-service approach which reduces the service score slightly.

Location9.9

Consistently praised: excellent spot close to Seljalandsfoss, great mountain views, surrounded by fields of lupins and ideal for visiting Þórsmörk and nearby attractions — standout positive for most guests.

Room Quality9.3

Rooms are described as comfortable, modern and clean in many reviews; a few issues are mentioned (rough duvet cover, isolated shower cleanliness complaint) but overall room quality is strong.

Amenities9.3

Modern amenities noted (updated property), plus practical touches like an honour-system fridge with drinks and access to microwave/coffee area for guests. Limited on-site services/staffing is mentioned but amenities themselves are well regarded.

Value for Money8.3

Generally good experiential value due to location and setting, but some guests feel the price is high given the largely self-service operation and occasional service/cleanliness lapses.

Food and Beverage9.3

Breakfast is repeatedly called good; on-site dinner (lamb/fish) received positive notes and staff accommodated dining needs. Isolated issues include a report of expired gluten-free bread and the pre-ordering policy, but overall food and beverage is favorably viewed.

Overall Experience8.9

Most guests report a peaceful, beautiful stay with excellent location and friendly moments from staff; a minority had strong negative incidents (odour, cleanliness) which balance out to an overall solid experience at the target rating.

Liked:Not much to look at from the outside, but the rooms were cute, clean and cozy. (a bit small). Out in the middle of nowhere, so great views. Parking lot a little rough to get luggage through--large gravel. Breakfast very nice for size of hotel.

Disliked:Cleaning appliances out in hall the entire time. Staff didn't mention some amenities about the property--like dinner, laundry and snacks for sale.

Great for a ring road stop, but evening meal not great.

Liked:Room was a good size. It was very clean and comfortable. Peaceful location within easy reach of ring road.

Disliked:The food was poor and no atmosphere in the dining room. Staff not particularly friendly or customer focused.
