Guest Reviews

• Giacomo (9/5): -
• alexastef (9/5): - Tout était parfait . Bel emplacement et très bon petit déjeuner. Cabane très mignonne Personnel très gentil merci RAS
• Eleonora (7/5): - La stanza era molto fredda al nostro arrivo, c’era una finestra aperta e il riscaldamento spento.
• Frank (10/5): - Cadre magnifique, esprit cocooning, beau petit chalet, personnel agréable et petit déjeuner très bien! Rien a signaler
• Luis (10/5): - Desayuno casero local magnífico
• Anne (10/5): Lovely farm house stay - Friendly little cabins in a beautiful setting. You can start an incredible hike to the glacier right out the back door. Lots of sheep and a friendly little dog that will visit you. Not many options for dinner. Horn which is 30 minutes away or Hótel restaurant about 5 minutes away
• Krzysztof (10/5): - Śniadanie urozmaicone z domowymi przysmakami, polecam.
• Dalila (8/5): Très bon sejour - Personnel très sympa et disponible. L'emplacement est nickel (proche de cascades) et on a pu voir d'adorables moutons :) La chambre était spacieuse et on a finalement pu avoir une chambre avec salle de bain privative :) Le seul truc embêtant était qu'il n'y avait pas de linge de douche.
• Melanie (7/5): Nice place a bit expansive - The place, the landscape, to sleep in a farm, the breakfast, the bed are good Les cottages ne sont pas récents et on peut entendre son voisin ronfler (lol), un peu cher je pense comparé à d'autres guesthouse qu'on a pu faire.
• Jetta (10/5): -
• Marek (10/5): This was the best accommodation of our entire holiday in Iceland - This was the best accommodation of our entire holiday in Iceland. Everything here is perfect. The best breakfast we had in Iceland, and very kind staff, mainly Vašek, who was extremely nice, helpful, and friendly. It was truly two beautiful days. We fell in love with this place.

• Šárka (9/5): Skvělé - Privital nas privetivy hodny pejsek, to se nam moc libilo, i personal, usmevavy, pohotovy. Ubytovani bylo fajn. Skvela a pestra snidane, velmi cista chaticka. Vybaveni kuchyne nadstandardni. -

• Judit (9/5): Nagyon kellemes hely ajánlom annak aki szereti az egyszerűséget - Nagyon kellemes, tiszta kis faház volt. Gyorsan fűthető saját fürdőszobával. Az ágyak és ágynemű szuper. Az ablakból a ház mögötti vízesést láttuk. Reggeli családias. Nincs rántotta vagy főtt virsli de bőséges és friss. Saját sajtjukat is megkóstoltuk és ízlett. A család kutyája Saka nagyon kedves.

• Shona (10/5): Fantastic place, great hosts, cosy cabins, lovely breakfast. - Beautiful remote location, our favourite place on our trip. We were a family of 4 and had two of the cabins. Very comfortable beds and rooms were very cosy. Wished we could have stayed longer. Also very generous breakfast in the morning. NA
• Alice (10/5): -
• Rémi (7/5): -
• Giulio (9/5): La casetta tra le nevi - Posto isolato, molto fiabesco avere la propria casetta in mezzo alla neve, colazione buona e staff gentile, abbiamo apprezzato anche l’amico peloso che faceva parte dello staff e che é diventato nostro grande amico. Struttura pulita e la casetta abbastanza grande anche. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo.
• Gabridez8 (10/5): - La habitación era con baño compartido y nos dieron una habitación con baño privado, las vistas era increíbles desde la habitación, lastima que no pudimos ver auroras. Desayuno muy bueno y el personal muy amable y atento 10/10 Nos gustó todo.
• Josep (10/5): - A lo largo de nuestro viaje nos hemos alojado en numerosos apartamentos y alojamientos, y la experiencia en general ha sido muy positiva. Siempre hemos encontrado espacios bien cuidados, limpios y cómodos, con todo lo necesario para sentirnos como en casa. Destacamos especialmente la buena ubicación de muchos de ellos, así como la facilidad en el check-in y la comunicación con los anfitriones, que en todo momento ha sido ágil y amable. Son detalles que marcan la diferencia cuando estás viajando. En definitiva, una experiencia muy satisfactoria en todos los alojamientos, totalmente recomendables para quienes buscan comodidad, buen servicio y tranquilidad durante su estancia. Cabe destacar el desayuno, muy muy bien.
• Donghyun (4/5): - 체크인 편안했습니다. 화장실 깨끗하니 쓸만했는데 객실이 너무 작아서 친구랑 둘이쓰기에도 너무 좁아서 불편했어요. 캐리어 2개 넣고 열었더니 발 디딜틈이 없을만큼 좁았고, 침대도 영 불편하고 좀 답답했네요. 다른 데 알아보시는게 나을거 같아요
• Robert (7/5): -
• Simona (8/5): - Cottage privato molto carino con tutte le comodità Colazione ottima Personale disponibile e cordiale Unica nota negativa, riscaldamento inadeguato per la temperatura e all’arrivo la stanza totalmente fredda
• Monica (10/5): -
• Patrizia Manfredini (10/5): - Posizione perfetta per la visita al ghiaccio e vicina al paese di Hofn. Struttura molto bella e pulita! E staff molto gentile e disponibile! Tutto perfetto
• Colin (8/5): -
• Ruud (10/5): - Mooie locatie met goede ruime kamer wel met een kleine badkamer met wel met fijne douche. Alles was prima ook goed uitgebreid ontbijt. Niks
• Aleksandra (10/5): -
• Günter (8/5): -
• Aránzazu (8/5): Buena relación calidad precio en la ruta por la Ring Road - Comodidad de la ubicación a un paso de la Ring Road pero con la tranquilidad y oscuridad óptimas para ver las auroras. El único inconveniente fue que no funcionaba el restaurante en las cenas y había que buscar alternativas en la zona para poder cenar algo, cosa que en febrero puede ser un poco complicado, pero nos recomendaron un guesthouse a dos pasos que nos arregló perfectamente
• Luisa (7/5): -
• Ottomar (8/5): - Die Lage war toll, die Menschen dort sehr freundlich
• Torsten (9/5): Sehr angenehme Unterkunft in Abgeschiedenheit - Schöne, abgelegene gute Lage, gute Matratzen, TV mit div. Streaming-Diensten, gutes Frühstück mir einigen regionalen Besonderheiten. Insgesamt unkomplizierte Buchung. Kaffee beim Frühstück, nächtliche Außenbeleuchtung nicht förderlich für Polarlichter-Beobachtung
• Matthias (9/5): Sehr schöne Lage nicht weit vom Jökulsarlon. - Sehr schöne Lage nicht weit vom Jökulsarlon mit mehreren nicht minder schönen und dazu untouristischen Gletschern in der Umgebung. Das Hotel selbst ist eine kurze Fahrt von der Hauptstrasse 1 in großzügige Lage mit Bergen im Hintergrund und Wanderung zu einem Gletscher direkt an der Unterkunft beginnend. Wir haben ein kostenloses upgrade kommen :-) Zimmer neu und sehr gross im Motelstil. Frühstück war für eine Unterkunft dieser Klasse sehr schön. Kurze Fahrt von der Hauptstrasse. nichts
• Sebastiaan (9/5): Leuke stop. Heerlijk rustig. - Ruime kamer en badkamer. Simpel maar goed ontbijt. Vriendelijke boerenfamilie die op hun land een aantal huisjes heeft staan. Je kunt ook een hike vanaf het terrein starten naar een waterval. In de omgeving is slechts één hotel waar je wat kan eten. Andere optie is naar Höfn rijden maar dat is wel 30-40 min rijden.
• KAI JU (9/5): - 房間也是偏小，兩間雙人房是單獨的小木屋，早餐跟大部分民宿提供的差不多，但民宿主人的小孩很可愛會幫忙收杯子。狗狗也很可愛很親人!
• Savana (9/5): QUIET PLACE + NORTHERN LIGHTS AND SUNRISE VIEW ! :) - This little stop over in the farm was great ! We've been welcomed by the family dog :) Quiet, clean and you get to see the northern lights ! Breakfast has everything you need, it's not as big as you get in a hotel of course but for the value of money it's perfect :) Everything was perfect !
• Martin (7/5): -
• Luciano Luigi (8/5): -

• Murilo (10/5): -
• Manuel (10/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): Gorgeous spacious room with breakfast included - Absolutely impeccably clean rooms with a view of the fields & ocea. Very friendly helpful staff. Breakfast included. The room was big for Iceland with a tv although I didn’t use it. Nice bathroom as well with great water pressure and hot water. Blanket, pillows and towels provided. Very comfortable beds. Convenient for Vestrahorn and Jökulsárlón It was on the expensive side even for Iceland but well worth it
• James (9/5): A great place to stay if you want to get away from my all! - Fantastic being in the middle of nowhere! Nearest shop is 20 miles away
• Borren (10/5): - Great location, very comfortable room, incredibly helpful and pleasant hosts. I checked out the day of the week breakfast was closed, and the host offered to pack me a breakfast to go the night before.
• Laurene (10/5): -
• Michelle (10/5): Beautiful lodging in south Iceland - Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast. We were a little worried about staying on a sheep farm but the facility was beautiful and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
• cathy (8/5): -
• Patrick (9/5): Very short stay but very cozy - Very cozy guesthouse. Very kind staff, quite accommodating. The breakfast was also great! I liked the addition of the pickled herring and the lamb pâté. Definitely felt more authentic and homey. The waterfall behind the building made for wonderful white noise when sleeping. Honestly, it was great. No real complaints, prices are standard for Iceland
• William (9/5): This guesthouse was clean, friendly and welcoming. - The breakfast was abundant and in a restaurant-like setting (ie communal). The server was attentive and generous, as well as friendly. Extra assistance was given the previous evening; it was very much appreciated! Shared bathroom was the only downside; some waiting required, but not unreasonable, as guesthouse implies shared facilities.
• XIAOLI (10/5): 很好，推荐。 - 早餐很棒！住宿是独栋的木头房子，很安静，很温馨，设施齐全。
• Denise (9/5): -
• Manasavee (10/5): Comfort& relax - Roomy ,clean, good location , full facilities ,staff is attentively kind
• Jozef (9/5): -
• João (10/5): It was an amazing experience and plus, they have a hiking trail - All of it was amazing, the accomodations, the breakfast, and they have a very beautiful and friendly dog
• Tibor (10/5): -
• Beatriz (10/5): - Ubicación, perrito adorable Tardaron en atendernos cuando íbamos a hacer el check in, la recepción estaba vacía.
• Rachel (9/5): Terrific stay with a great breakfast - Very nice guesthouse; great breakfast and a lovely lobby area It was a bit further out of town than expected, but that was my lack of knowledge about the area.
• Andrea (6/5): -
• Francesca (10/5): -
• Holger (7/5): -
• Rémy (7/5): -
• Luxi (10/5): It was an excellent stay - The room was very nice with its private bathroom. Everything was very clean. The free breakfast was simple (cold spread) but had everything we wanted (eggs, veggies, yogurt etc.). The best thing is the farm dog called Saga. She comes to greet you and play with you, and goes hiking with you! There's a nice hiking track just behind the farm. Nothing
• Mikel (10/5): - Habitación, limpieza, desayuno más que correcto y un precio muy ajustado. Muy recomendable. Nada.
• Nadine (9/5): - Das Frühstück war sehr lecker
• jeniffer (10/5): -
• shipra (10/5): Superb place to stay in this price range - Everything. Clean, spacious room, kettle to make coffee, instant noodles etc, spotless linens & furnishings, private bathrooms, very nice breakfast spread, good location
• IEN (10/5): -
• Cadence (10/5): We had a great stay. We went to dinner in Hofn one night as it wasn’t very far away. The guesthouse was easy to find and - We loved the location in between Hofn and the Glacier Lagoon and it was beautiful. The breakfast was great too. Nothing
• Christian (10/5): - Alles, erwähnenswert aber vor allem das Badezimmer, die großen Fenster des Zimmers und die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter. Nichts
• FamilleJoly5 (9/5): -
• Richard Vrolijk (8/5): - Ligging is prachtig. Ontbijt is prima. Huisje js prima maar beetje gedateerd. Op zich niets..
• Luiza (10/5): - We liked the location and the setup
• Chokey Lam (8/5): Budget Stay near Jokusarlon - Great breakfast with much to choose, nice staff to help as much as they can, good to see lambs around, and a lovely dog on the spot. They give no towels which was unexpected. Just a bathroom is barely enough for 3 rooms to share
• Kesorn (10/5): - We love the place. It is in the middle of no where. This farm stay is surrounded by nature. There is a track that we can walk up the hill and along the creek. There is one hotel staff (a lovely dog) always wanting to walk with us. Breakfast is superb.
• Jens (9/5): -
• Maria Gracia (9/5): Recomendable - .Está en un sitio privilegiado pero en medio de ninguna parte. La amabilidad de los propietarios. El baño compartido.No todos los huèspedes son limpios y respetuosos.Cada habitación debería tener el suyo.
