Grímstunga Guesthouse

The guesthouse was quite a way off the main road on a very bumpy road. This made getting there more difficult, but the location was ideal for seeing the northern lights and to get to the east entrance to Dettifoss. Our room was nice, modern, and very clean. The main issue we had was that it was confusing where to go to check in. The reception is several miles from the guesthouse, but there are no directions given in the Check-in instructions. It was frustrating to have to drive back and forth for miles on the very bumpy road. It is a very nice spot, just be sure to know how to get to the reception to check in.

What was really coolWas the lights on the back porch Actually enabled us to get great pictures of us with the aurora in the background

老板非常友好，厨房也不错

Very nice place

Beautiful property, lots of space, loved the gorgeous view. The room was warm and cozy, very quiet and comfortable, and it was easy to check in and out. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property and accomodations. We had room 24. New, large room, clean and all the amenities we needed. There was a kitchen and eating area where we could warm up some dinnner. We stayed here on our way back from visiting the east side of Dettifoss falls which worked out great. We would highly recommend.

This property is a work in progress. The accommodations are brand spanking new; each guesthouse has its own deck and view. The rooms are fresh and clean, but there is not a lot of room to spread out (family of 3). The shared kitchen facilities (there are two) again while new, are not well equipped. One has a large screen TV. There is a microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher and there are stovetops. Dishwashing liquid was being watered down by guests because it was at the very end of the bottle. Lots of dishes, glassware and pots, but no frying pan. You can of course improvise. I would have expected complimentary coffee and tea service - you can brew coffee but if you didn't bring milk/cream - yikes. Only one tea bag available - and it looked like it had been there for a while. Ditto the dry cereal in plastic containers. We had trouble finding the place as there are flags identifying that there is a hotel but we were not in the right place on the road and we upset private homeowners as we looked around for our unit #. There needs to be proper signage so travellers do not have to guess and puzzle and waste time and call phone numbers posted on unoccupied former premises, all when they are tired and just want to settle down and relax. We really felt this property has a lot of potential - it just needs to be more user friendly.

Anfahrt zur Unterkunft schwierig, man bekommt einen separaten Link zugeschickt, das hat aber anfangs über Expedia-Chat nicht funktioniert. Die Bungalows vor Ort sind an sich schön, jedoch nicht gut abgedichtet, es ist sehr kalt und feucht in den Zimmern.

Whether the 10km bumpy road to the property can br improved

Amazing view and location. Comfortable, roomy and nice guesthouse across the parking lot where you can prepare food.
