HH Gisting

It was a lovely, compact and amazing room with a roof window for northern light. However, the room I stayed the window wasn’t close properly due to a bent window frame.

This room was beautiful and cozy! The heated bathroom floor was an added bonus. The team was very accommodating and polite with a special request. Definitely recommend!!!

Our stay was perfect, the guesthouse was in a great location and it was very clean and quiet, with everything we could need. We got lucky during our stay and could see the northern lights out of our back window - would definitely stay here again!

Great place !

Cozy, clean cabins with all basic amenities needed. Beds really comfy. Cabin nice and warm (stayed in December), hot water with good pressure. Self check-in was clearly explained and very simple. A WhatsApp number is given in arrival info in case of any issues. We cooked a simple meal in the cabin and enjoyed a cozy night in watching the Northern Lights through the fab picture window!

This was by far my favorite stay! The location was perfect, close to great restaurants, and the place was spotless. The view from my room was amazing, and I especially loved the heated floors in the bathroom —they were such a nice touch. I definitely recommend this place to others!

Overall is ok, 30min drive from the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and close to Höfn for grocery. A very quiet area with glacier outlets surrounding. The cabin a little bit small if you have some luggages to open. The cleanliness of the cooking utensil, pots and pans depend on the previous traveller occupied the cabin, given there is no dishwasher. The water supply is limited and hot water runs from a small electric boiler. You need to wait a while after another person has taken a hot shower. The last thing is just happened the window behind our bed could not completely shut when the lock was turned completely into lock position, the wind gust went through tiny gap causing loud noise. We had to work around by turning the lock slightly just before the release position to keep the window shut. That lock handle probably needs fixing.

A little off the beaten path, but in between Diamond Beach and Hofn. There is no reception area. Therefore, do not expect any amenities that come with that assistance or common space. Rooms are private and spacious. Bathrooms are tights though. The rooms come with a large window that gave us a fantastic view of the Northern Lights all night long. The remoteness of the hotel provides those dark skies. Great spot overall, especially if you know what to expect when you arrive.

Our stay here was okay. We really liked the view and how big the windows were as well as the ceiling window, it made for a great way to see the stars and the northern lights. However, some things were not the most comfortable such as the pillows (provided 2 pillows but they were extremely flat), the window in our unit was not totally closed/sealed and the knob was locked so it seemed that the window had a bit of a flaw as it let a lot of cold air in and one of the days we stayed in was very windy so it made for a very cold night as we could feel the cold wind get in over our heads since the beds were above the window, have to time our showers since hot water is limited, and lastly, could smell the sceptic tank outside the unit at the parking area. Host were very responsive to our questions though and they seemed like nice people.

Room was extremely clean and had everything that was needed. great location to explore the area. check in was easy and communication was very good
