Guest Reviews
- Karin (10/5): Genoten op deze gouden plek in een heel fijne en complete plek. - Wat een uitzicht. Heel fijn en compleet huisje.
- Ivo (8/5): -
- Philip (10/5): - New guest house with more being added. Wonderful view and peaceful setting. How can you not like perfect.
- Luis (10/5): - Todo perfecto!! Nada
- Bruna (9/5): Beautiful view, great place. Some improvements could be made to become 10/10 - The view
The design
Clean Blackouts didnt cover all window so having light until 11:30 and 3:00 am sunrise was not easy to sleep
The hot water run out even showering only 3 min
- ying xin (9/5): Beautiful view from the room - Easy check in process and awesome view from the room. The electric stove was unable to use
- Virág (10/5): -
- Veralla (9/5): - Visuale con 3 gole di ghiacciaio direttamente visibili dalla finestra della camera, self check in, dotazione di seggiolone per bambina e culla, cucina attrezzata
- Manfred (9/5): - The shower was good, slept very well!
- Maeva (10/5): -
- Elena (10/5): Buen alojamiento. - Comodidad, limpieza. Calefacción e hilo radiante en el suelo del baño. Habitación un poquito pequeña: era difícil abrir una maleta.
- Woelfel (6/5): Kurzer Aufenthalt okay, jedoch etwas ohne Charm. - Die Unterkunft liegt gut gelegen an der Ringstraße und ein modernes Aussehen, sowie Innenausstattung. Leider war die Terrasse sowie die großen Fenster in Richtung der Straße statt in Richtig der Gletscher. Im Innenraum waren leider teilweise kaputte Fliesen und Steckdosen. Zudem war die Küche nur sehr spärlich ausgestattet, was das Kochen etwas erschwert hat.
- Aline (10/5): Génial! - L’établissement est super bien placé, très propre et très pratique. Gros plus avec l’immense fenêtre qui donne une vue sur le paysage, et quand on a de la chance sur des aurores boréales!
- MARIA ISABEL (8/5): Muy aconsejable - Las vistas y el paisaje desde la habitación son excelentes Faltaba algún utensilio de limpieza (p.e. escoba)
- Stella (5/5): -
- Femke (9/5): Een uniek plekje - Een eigen huisje, heel mooi schoon en licht en lekker warm, met een werkelijk prachtig uitzicht op bergen en gletsjers. Er is in de buurt verder niets, dus je moet boodschappen al bij je hebben of een half uur rijden naar Höfn.
- Gianluca (9/5): - Splendida vista
- Joanne (9/5): Modern and clean, lovely stay - Right off the highway with views of the glaciers, very clean and has everything needed
- Martina (9/5): Vista indimenticabile - Piccolo container con tutto il necessario per una notte tranquilla e pacifica. Una vista straordinaria sul ghiacciaio, un letto comodo e un alloggio pulitissimo.
Cucina funzionale con tutto il necessario per una cena a due.
- Kerstin (9/5): - Die Lage in der Natur
- Piffkó (7/5): -
- Anna (9/5): -
- Clara (9/5): - Everything. I loved everything but although the views are STUNNING, we missed having a TV.
- Miguel (9/5): -
- Yan (10/5): -
- Janis (10/5): - Ein Fernseher mit HDMI Kabel oder ein Smart TV wären ganz schön gewesen für eingeschneite Abende. Sonst alles tiptop! War die beste Entscheidung!
- Audrey (10/5): Logement avec vue incroyable sur les montagnes et les glaciers - La vue est à couper le souffle. L'espace est partagé entre plusieurs bungalow mais nous sommes bien isolés des autres. Dépaysement garanti. La literie est très bonne. Petit plus, vous pouvez cuisiner avec des équipements adaptés ( condiments fournis, ainsi que café et thé). Accès tres facile et flexible
- Luise (10/5): -
- Omjai (7/5): Nice place - Staff No tv
- Adis (8/5): Very nice and cosy accomodation - The room itself is cosy and clean. A couple of additional m² would be great for the lugagge. Kitchen is fully equiped. It would be great to have a little more information about the room itself (for example, it should be stated that there is an electronic switch for curtains on the seeling window (we didn't close it and it was very light in the morning) as well as that there is an electronic switch for flor heating in the bathroom. We had to leave one day earlier and have requested refund as well to booking.com as by the family. We were not entitled to it but we have requested anyway hoping that they will accept it. There was a storm coming and our flight was postponed. Neither we nor booking.com has yet received an answer from the family. Therefore I cannot yet say anything about family (neither good nor bad) since we still wait for the answer.
- Patrique (10/5): Pitoresca - Localização remota, sem vizinhos nem poluição luminosa - condições perfeitas pra ver a Aurora Boreal! E perto de várias atrações de interesse. A cozinha é bem equipada porém não há forno.
- Ping-Hao (9/5): -
- Davide (10/5): Struttura pulita, calda e con un panorama da sogno - Principalmente la vista del panorama, ma anche l’ordine e la pulizia trovati. Non c’è stato qualcosa che non mi sia piaciuto. È andato tutto molto bene.
- Pauline (8/5): - Le logement est tres propre, tres fonctionnel, tres bien situé et le lit tres confortable. Dommage qu'à ce prix la on n'a pas un peu plus de confort comme avoir plus que deux oreillers, plus de 2 tasses et que le chauffage n'était pas mis avant notre arrivée.
- Ping-Hao (10/5): -
- Lina (9/5): Leuk verblijf! - Leuk huisje op een goede locatie! Goed verzorgde keuken, waarbij aan alles gedacht is. Zo waren koffie, thee, olie en kruiden aanwezig. Lekker douche met aanwezigheid van vloerverwarming. Accomodaties ligt aan de hoofdweg; er rijden gelukkig niet veel auto’s overheen, maar je kan deze wel vanuit het huisje horen.
- Amandine (10/5): - We lived just everything about the place : it was cute and cosy, very clean, big enough and we'll located. Moreover the owners let us get in much earlier when we asked for it because the weather was awful. Thanks for the stay, we'll definitely come back to this place. 😄 Nothing
- Lotte (9/5): - Super mooi uitzicht en heel net en schoon verblijf
- Laura (10/5): Ładny domek - Ładny, nowoczesny domek
- Laetitia (10/5): Exceptionnel ! - TOUT.
Le calme, la vue, le confort du lit. Tout était hyper propre. On est cachés, on entend aucun bruit, même les voitures qui passent sur la route on ne les entend pas ! C’est hyper bien insonorisé, j’avais vraiment l’impression d’être toute seule.
La cuisine était toute équipée, tout était super. J’ai été triste de quitter…
Merci pour tout 🥹 J’ai tout aimé
- Tristan (10/5): -
- Marissa (10/5): It was beautiful and easy to find - This day was easily accessible, beautiful and clean The only thing we wish during our trip were that there was more things to do around it unfortunately, during winter there were no close open restaurants but that is not the properties fault
- Jean-Philippe (7/5): Logement pratique pouvant être amélioré - Sympathique petit lodge bien situé.
Lit de bonne qualité et salle de bain propre. Aucun chauffage à notre arrivée contrairement aux autres logements durant notre séjour.
Des restes alimentaires dans le frigo.
- Foteini (8/5): Nice location and decoration of the room - I really enjoyed the location and the peace and quiet of the destination, as well as the decoration of the room I did not like the limitation of hot water usage, especially during the winter time, when temperature is really low
- RICHARD (9/5): idéalement placer au bord de route parfait aussi bien pour des baroudeurs que des familles - honnêtement la vue est fabuleuse et si les condition sont réunies de forte chance de voir des aurores sans sortir du lit au niveau des couvert il y a tout juste ce qu'il faut 2 assiettes 2 paires de couvert etc.

- Lydia (6/5): Dicht an der Ringstraße gelegen, unbequeme Betten sehr enges Zimmer. - Zentrale Lage an der Ringstraße, einigermaßen saubere Unterkunft. Sehr eng - wir haben sogar die Taschen wieder ins Auto gebracht, da so wenig Platz vorhanden war. Sehr kleiner Kühlschrank, Betten sehr durchgelegen und unbequem.
- WalterG74 (8/5): Consigliato - Bella struttura, calda e accogliente
Letti comodi
Bagno buono e pulito
Angolo cottura con attrezzi per cucinare, utilissimo
A mezz'ora di auto da Diamond Beach, ottima soluzione a un buon prezzo per dormire in quella zona.
Proprietari gentilissimi e disponibili a risolvere un imprevisto, offrendo anche un cambio di camera per un problema di deflusso acqua della doccia.
- HEECHANG (5/5): 찬물샤워 괜찮다면 가세요 - 통유리라 뷰가좋음, 침대편함 커피포트 못 쓸정도로 더러움, 뜨거운물 안 나와서 찬물로 씻음(이게 가장 최악임)
- IRATI (10/5): -
- Xingyi (10/5): Nice and warm cabin equipped with everything you need. The view is stunning and we are lucky to see the northern light. - Great view. Good location. Full kitchen. Clean and spacious.
- Balestrucci (10/5): - Such a cozy place! Our hosts have been amazing.
- Jasper (9/5): - Prachtige uitzichten op de gletsjer en bergen, faciliteiten waren goed, met de koffers was het een beetje krap De ramen waren deels kapot waardoor ze niet helemaal dicht gingen.
- Eunsook (1/5): - 11월 말에 2박을 했고 중복결재가 되어 환불요청했는데 지긍까지 답이 없었고, 수건과 휴지를 메일로 요청했는데 가져다주지않아 전화를 하고나서 밤늦게 받음
- Wendy (9/5): - Nice place. Very comfortable bed. It’s a little small, but you’ll have everything you need.
- Chin Bee (9/5): -
- Serena (10/5): WOW - Fantastica, è molto suggestiva e romantica allo stesso tempo, ti trovi praticamente in mezzo al nulla con questa finestrona che dà a nord sul ghiacciaio, la sera abbiamo visto l’aurora boreale essendo, stranamente l’unico punto dell’Islanda non coperto dalle nuvole !! Incredibile Forse l’unica pecca è che il primo supermercato è tipo a 40 min ahahahah quindi se alloggiate qui portatevi del cibo, o morirete!!!
- Patryk (9/5): Wszystko bardzo dobrze,ciepło nowocześnie,bardzo miły gospodarz - Czysty dom,duże okna,nowoczesność,wszystko co potrzebne w domu
- Ai (10/5): -
- Wolf (9/5): -
- Bettina (10/5): -
- Taylor (10/5): - Unbelievable views and comfy bed Nothing
- Ilaria (8/5): - Facilmente raggiungibili in quanto a bordo strada; molto bella la vista dalla finestra che dà sulle montagne e la sera si vede un tramonto bellissimo Nella camera è presente un raccoglitore con tutte le regole da seguire, tra cui quella di mantenere pulita la stanza e lavare ciò che si utilizza per cucinare. Peccato però che, al nostro arrivo, la pentola e il relativo coperchio fossero sporchi e unti. Non credo sia colpa degli host, probabilmente gli ospiti precedenti non hanno pulito adeguatamente, ma sarebbe utile un controllo più accurato dopo ogni soggiorno per evitare situazioni spiacevoli come questa.
- Wai Ying (10/5): -
- Carlos (10/5): -
- Desirée (9/5): Fijn appartement - Fijne uitvalsbasis voor de bezienswaardigheden en nationaal parken in de buurt. Appartement is wat aan de kleine kant, maar compleet en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Erg schoon en hele vriendelijke eigenaar.
- Antonio (9/5): - Um pouco pequeno
- XUNFANG (9/5): Very cool - There are glacier behind the property, and the view is amazing. No
- cedric (9/5): -
- Haim (8/5): -
- Hassler (10/5): Excellent stay at the guesthouse! - Ability to park just outside your guesthouse was perfect for the unpredictable Icelandic weather. The kitchen was sufficiently supplied to craft breakfast and dinner. After camping for a few nights, a real bed was a luxury.
If two folks need to shower, be sure to be efficient with your hot water use. It's not unlimited.
- Anthea (10/5): -
- Wong (7/5): It is good for just one night stay. - It is easy to find. And the Mountain View is nice. The room is a bite small for 2 people. Not much space to move around.
- Pip (8/5): Good location for glaciers. - Close to Diamond Beach and glaciers. Clean and comfortable. If we had been able to see the mountain view I’m sure it would have been beautiful, but it was shrouded in low cloud. Owners gave clear instructions and directions. Good spot. Probably only feedback was the smoke detector was too close to the kitchenette so when cooking dinner it was set off. Minor detail.
- Badalamenti Salvatore (8/5): -
- Andreas (7/5): -
- Erica (10/5): Ottima struttura - Casette piccoline ma belle e funzionali, dotate di ogni servizio utile, con parcheggio e piccolo patio esterno. Letti comodi e stanze molto pulite. Immerse nella natura ma vicinissimo alla strada quindi non si hanno problemi a trovarle. Si accede molto facilmente tramite self check-in e posizione ottima per il giro della Ring Road. In bagno vi è il boiler per l’acqua calda che quindi non è illimitata, bisogna dunque dosarsi.
- Petriana (9/5): -
- Filippo (9/5): Fantastica vista - Chalet nuovi, per arredati, riscaldamento a pavimento, vista ghiacciai (3l),caffè in stanza buono, letti comodi, cuscino comodo La tendina della doccia... Questa plastica...
- Signe (9/5): -
- Michail (9/5): Peaceful stay at a nice place. - A very spacious cabin. Great view of the Iceland mountains at dusk straight from our panoramic window. Comfortable and well appointed. Could benefit from some more room / storage space in the bathroom. Location is very nice but isolated, need to drive 30 minutes to the nearest village (Hofn). Even though this is Iceland (i.e. expensive0 we thought the price was quite high.
- Mauro (9/5): -
- Alessandro (7/5): - Pulito,particolare, caldo . Un paio di metri quadri in più non guasterebbero, sarebbe utile avere un po' di attrezzatura da cucina in più, considerato anche il prezzo non esattamente economico .
- Pia (10/5): -
- Sara (10/5): -
- Jürgen (8/5): -
- Semrow (10/5): Great location. Easy to find , clean and the hosts were very kind. We watched whales from the patio door to our room ! W -
- Abdulla (10/5): -
- Nicolas (8/5): Idéal pour un stop d’une nuit pour continuer sur la côte sud de l’île. - Emplacement proche de la route 1, idéal pour un stop d’une nuit. Petit et équipement minimaliste pour la cuisine. N’espérez pas vous faire de la grande cuisine. Une casserole et une « poêle ».
- Adam (10/5): Idealny nocleg podczas podróży dookoła Islandii - Bardzo ładny, czysty i nowy obiekt tuż przy Hringvegur. Całkiem spory pokój z aneksem kuchennym umożliwiającym przygotowanie własnych posiłków. Idealny na 1 lub 2 noce.
- Sara (9/5): Muy Recomendable - La habitación es muy moderna, limpia y con ventanales que dan mucha luz. Camas cómodas. Está al lado de Höfn Límite de uso de agua caliente, no te puedes duchar más de 5min y no sabes en qué momento se puede cortar.
Son prefabricados adosados, por lo que oyes al “vecino”.
Algunas cosas que ofrecen como la crema de leche estaba caducada.
- Cynthia (10/5): - The beds were comfortable, the room is small but everything you need is there. Plenty of hot water, especially if you use the smaller handheld shower head. The views were amazing. They had screens for the windows and a fan! Storage for luggage was limited.
- Paloma (8/5): - Gletscherblick, gute Erreichbarkeit. Nähe zu den Gletschern und zum Ort Höfn. Fenster ließen sich nicht öffnen, die Terrasse ist nicht zum Gletscher sondern auf der anderen Seite. Etwas klein wenig Platz für die Koffer.
- Laura (8/5): -
- HUI SHENG (8/5): - location is easy to access, view is good, toilet is perfectly clean! If the kitchen had range hood would be better so that cooking/food smell can release out of house much easier.
- Debora_M_ (8/5): Vista ghiacciaio - Casetta molto carina con stupenda vista sul ghiacciaio. Nei dintorni non c'è nulla! Stupendo.
Spaziosa e pulita, letto comodo.
Cucina con base per colazione, olio e sale.
Doccia ampia e con un bel getto d'acqua dal soffione grande.
Struttura costosa, ma in linea con gli standard islandesi. Un solo secchio per la spazzatura (non fanno la differenziata?), lavandino del bagno che non funzionava perfettamente, lavandino della cucina molto piccolo, un po' scomodo per lavare le pentole.
- Damien (10/5): -
- Danny (6/5): OK für eine Zwischenübernachtung entlang der Ringroad - Einfacher Check-In per Schlüsselkasten. Verhältnismäßig großes Bad. Sauber. Gute Lage, um auf der Durchreise entlang des Ringroad einen Stop einzulegen. Die Unterkunft hat ihren Zweck für 1-2 Nächte erfüllt. Punktabzug gibt es leider für das unpassende Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Für 100 € weniger PRO NACHT haben wir sogar am Golden Circle eine deutlich besser ausgestattete Unterkunft gehabt.
- Küchenzeile in die Tage gekommen
- abgenutztes Abwaschmaterial (Schwamm, Bürste)
- stark abgenutzte Bratpfanne
