Guest Reviews
- raphaelle (10/5): - The breakfast was very good and the place very peaceful The spa hours . We couldn't enjoy it cause it close to early. We weren't aware of it and miss it 🫤
- Clara (10/5): Fascinante - Ubicación excelente
- viral (9/5): - The person planned out Our checkin nicely though we were late.
Breakfast was reasonably good Nothing
- Rory (10/5): - Fantastic stay Thankyou
- Edina (8/5): Lenyűgöző helyen fekvő szálláshely, kicsit túlárazott. - Lenyűgöző látvány a szobából és a hot tubból. Átlagosnál kicsit gyengébb reggeli választék. Ár érték arányban drága a szálláshely.

- VICTOR (10/5): Tot be - Ubicacio. Servei. Instal.lacions Habitacio molt senzilla, però neta i correcte
- Veronique (10/5): Breathtaking views with horses and reindeer in the fields -
- Andrea (10/5): Piccolo paese di pescatori, violentato da 2 enormi navi da crociera, che portano certamente denaro, ma anche disturbo - Ottima pulizia, cucina funzionale, spazi adeguati Tutto ok
- Adam (10/5): Glacier view is awesome-sauce! - The view. The view. The view... I mean seriously, what's better than seeing a glacier right out your bedroom window, or looking at it while you're soaking in one of their four amazing hot tubs. Just a wonderful location.

- Chiara (9/5): -
- CHIKI (8/5): Naturaleza con vistas a un glaciar - Aunque no lo pude disfrutar la zona de spa. Cuando llegamos a las 21 no habia nadie en recepción. El horario del desayuno un poco tarde
- Juana (10/5): Bañeras de fuera maravillosas. Com vistas al glaciar - La habitación estaba bien, con vistas al glaciar y las bañeras de agua caliente eran estupendas, las instalaciones muy buenas. El desayuno rico
- Sara (8/5): -
- Marie (8/5): Gerne wieder. - Sauna und Hotpods sind super.
Man kann die Mikrowelle jederzeit benutzen.
Rentiere in der Umgebung.
Gletscher vor der Tür.
Gratis Zimmer-Upgrade bekommen. Hellhörig. Frühstück könnte etwas mehr Auswahl haben.
Heizung funktionierte nicht, es war kalt. Wir müssten zweimal Bescheid geben, dann ging es ein wenig.
Abends kommen doch viele von außerhalb zu den Pools. Es wäre schön, wenn man abends als Hotelgast alleine wäre.

- Virna (9/5): Inizi aprile - L'appartamento era pulito, caldo e funzionale. Le vasche termiche con vista tramonto e ghiacciaio eccezionali. Buona la colazione.
- Sarah (8/5): -
- Katharina (9/5): Super - Aussicht und Lage waren ein Traum. Das Frühstück war super und das Personal sehr nett. Bequeme Betten und man konnte gut verdunkeln Leider hat es in der Dusche geschimmelt, hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit im Zimmer
- Anna (8/5): Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo - Buona la colazione con vista sul ghiacciaio, la facilità per arrivare sotto il ghiacciaio e l'accesso alle hot tubs compreso nel costo del soggiorno. La finestra della nostra stanza era difettosa
- LariJ. (8/5): Rentouttavat kuumat altaat upealla näköalapaikalla - Upea sijainti vuoristo/jäätikkömaisemassa. Kuumat altaat oli aivan luksusta! Yksinkertainen aamiainen. Pahaa pikakahvia, mutta upeat näkymät. Pikakahvin sijaan toivoisin oikeaa kahvia. Huoneessa verhot roikkuivat lattiaa pitkin liian pitkinä.

- Anna Karen (9/5): -
- Damien (5/5): - Les bains chaud et le sauna sont super. Les serviettes de bains étaient sale.
La chambre sentait l'humidité.
Le matin il y avait une flaque d'eau en bas de la fenêtre.
Le petit déjeuner commence à 8h seulement.
- Marit (9/5): Helt fantastiske omgivelser, og livets beste vafler - Virkelig helt fantastiske omgivelser, helt uvirkelig å få spise frokost med en slik utsikt. Superfinerom, finere enn de ser ut på bildene, og et flott og moderne bad. De nystekte vaflene som ble servert under frokosten var det beste vi opplevde på noen frokost under hele turen vår med fem ulike overnattinger. Angrer fortsatt på at jeg ikke spurte hva slags jern de ble stekt i og oppskriften på røren.
Vi fikk dessverre aldri tid til å benytte boblebadene ute, men satte stor pris på muligheten og at de var inkludert i oppholdet! Et irritasjonsmoment var ytterdøren til huset som den lille leiligheten vår lå i. Den var ødelagt i hengslene, og svært vanskelig (tidvis umulig..) å lukke. Den gjorde det også vanskelig å gå ut og titte på nattestid etter nordlys uten å vekke hele resten av huset. Vi går ut fra at denne fikses innen kort tid, så du som vurderer å booke bør ikke tenke for mye på det.
Vi kunne også ønske oss mulighet for å kjøpe en enkel middag utover koppnudler, eller utstyr til å varme noe egen mat selv. Tilgang til en enkel mikrobølgeovn hadde vært topp. Og noe tydeligere instruksjoner gjeldende utsjekking, som kunne vært opplyst om på resepsjonsdøren når den var stengt.

- Alexandra 17 (9/5): Jederzeit wieder! - Sehr sehr freundliches Personal und die Lage ist einfach toll. Abends im kostenlosen Hot Tub zu sitzen und auf den Gletscher und die Berge zu schauen, ist einfach traumhaft. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und ausreichend groß.
Es gab frisches leckeres Brot zum Frühstück und alles wurde immer wieder rechtzeitig aufgefüllt. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden jederzeit hier wieder übernachten.
Dankeschön, für 2 wunderschöne Tage!

- Matthias (8/5): - Die Lage und die hot tubs Kein Restaurant
- Danuta (10/5): -
- Roberta (10/5): - Ottima posizione, a 50 Min dalla diamond beach e la partenza dei cave tours. Vista su una lingua del ghiacciaio. Ottima colazione (non c'è l'abbondanza da spreco, ma si mangia bene e a sazietà) aggiungerei solo la possibilità di chiedere uova strapazzate. Belle le hot tubes. Lascerei aperte le vasche anche alla sera tardi per vedere l'aurora p
- Chiara (8/5): - Hot tub e sauna bellissime.
Colazione buona. Unica pecca: la doccia della camera. Si allaga tutto, abbiamo dovuto chiedere cambio asciugamani perché li abbiamo utilizzati per tenere asciutto

- Corina (10/5): Super hébergement au calme absolu dans un environnement naturel exceptionnel - Chambre grande et confortable, tout était neuf et en excellent état.
Staff très sympathique et motivé.
Très bon petit déjeuner et salle de petit déjeuner très agréable.
Vue superbe.
Bains chauds très chouettes à flanc de colline avec vue. Sauna. On a pu admirer les aurores boréales depuis le bain chaud, le top!
Randonnée possible vers le glacier et sa lagune glaciaire, sans l’aflux de touristes d’autres endroits. SUper calme.
On a adoré.
Route d’accès en très bon état (à 5 minutes de la Route 1). Les bains chauds, saunas et vestiaires ferment à 21h, dommage!
- Natalja (8/5): Miers, daba un elpu aizraujoši skati vietā, kur patiesi iespējams atslēgties - Lai arī naktsmītne atradās tālu no populārās pilsētiņas Vīk, ne mirkli nenožēlojām, ka devāmies tik tālu. Ceļā paveras burvīgi skati uz ledājiem un kalniem. Pati naktsmītne ir ļoti jauka un tīra. Pieejamas karstās vannas, no kurām paveras neaizmirstams skats uz ledāju (tas atrodas vien 4 km attālumā no viesnīcas) un kalniem. Šosejas troksni nedzird – valda pilnīgs miers un klusums.
Nākamajā dienā devāmies aplūkot ledāju tuvāk: skats bija patiesi iespaidīgs, turklāt tūristu praktiski nebija, kas ļāva dabas brīnumu izbaudīt gandrīz vienatnē. Brokastis ar izvēli un kopumā ļoti labas. Jauks un izpalīdzīgs personāls. Istaba, lai gan tajā bija viss nepieciešamais, šķita nedaudz tukša. Tajā nav televizora, kas var būt būtiski tiem, kam tas ir svarīgi.
- Paweł (10/5): - Sympatyczne dziewczyny z Polski na recepcji i fenomenalne jacuzzi
- Daniel (7/5): Friendly, quiet and simple set up! - The staff were lovely and friendly, very welcoming. The location was stunning and magical - perfect for seeing the northern lights if you are lucky enough. Breakfast was adequate and staff were attentive to keep it fully stocked. We weren’t fortunate enough to experience the hot tubs and sauna as we arrived later in the evening during a snow storm but the facilities looked nice. Staff communication before and during the stay was amazing and was kind enough to acknowledge it was a birthday visit with a glacier view room and a birthday message. The en-suite / wet room was struggling to drain well meaning it would be wet for the entirety of your stay and it would be ideal if the shower was a shower cubicle. However, nice pressure and stayed hot.

- rita (10/5): Favoloso - Splendida posizione,le camere molto accoglienti,la colazione abbondante,la sala comune per organizzare una cena in autonomia. Abbiamo visto l’aurora boreale dalla nostra camera Nulla
- Tereza (10/5): - Jedno z nejhezčích ubytování, které jsme měli. Hezké pokoje, čistá, prostorná koupelna, dostatek místa na parkování. Naprosto výborná snídaně, jejich vaflí jsme se mohli ujíst. Zkusili jsme i jejich welness, v březnu, kdy jsme hotel navštívili byli v provozu dvě venkovní vířivky ze čtyř. Na recepci nám milá recepční dala dvě osušky navíc a vysvětlila nám, že hned u vířivek je vnitřní převlékárna se sprchami. Vše hezké, uklizené, nové. A ty výhledy!
- Anna-Lena (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft mit hervorragender Lage und leckerem Frühstück. - Die Unterkunft war etwas abgelegener aber gut zu erreichen. Sie entsprach der Beschreibung und den Bildern und war sauber und gut ausgestattet.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war lecker.

- ROUMPINI (10/5): Amazing one night stay/hot baths & sauna is a must! - We had an amazing stay! Glad to see also aurora lights at the spot! Great stay overall. Very clean, beautiful locations, hot baths & sauna is a must. I would expect a variety at breakfast. Very simple & common things to try. But it was enough.
- Andrey (10/5): - The room, the view, the hot tubes and the sauna.
- Sabīne (9/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): - La presenza delle Hot Tub e il luogo isolato perfetto per vedere l’aurora boreale Le Hot Tub chiudono molto presto (21:00) e la colazione inizia un po tardi per turisti che vogliono uscire preso (08:00)
- Neal (9/5): - Watching the sunset from the hot tub Shower in room stuck on scolding hot.
- Jean Luc (9/5): Je recommande - Super emplacement pour observer les aurores boréales. Et 2 magnifiques et adorables chiens, Rien

- Sarah (8/5): Kann es nur empfehlen! - Sehr gutes Frühstück, wahnsinns Aussicht und Lage und die Hottubs/Saune waren sehr fein, wenn auch das Wasser an unserem zweiten Tag durch den Wind etwas kühler war, aber trotzdem sehr schön! Sehr minimalistische Ausstattung, nichts zum Jacken/Handtücher aufhängen und etwas frisch im Apartment - sonst super!
- Giovanni (9/5): - Camera e bagno spaziosi. La struttura è immersa in un bellissimo panorama naturalistico ottimo per vedere l’aurora boreale (vista alle 3 di notte)!staff molto accogliente e gentile Disponibili le hot tubs ma senza spogliatoi vicino. Colazione non molto variegata
- Jordan (1/5): Awful - The surroundings were nice and the room
was great When we arrived we were left locked outside as there was no staff about. The hot tubs were cold and theres no tv in the room like in the pictures. We got no sleep because there was an event on all night with
drunk people shouting and slamming doors. No response from staff when trying to complain.
- Claudia (9/5): -
- kris (1/5): Disappointing - Nothing
- Linus (10/5): - Great location for northern lights spotting. Friendly staff!

- Oleksandr (10/5): Nice hotel. Recommend - We’ve used their apartment and it could fit 4 even though it states in their website it is only for 3.
The property is great. Not far from road 1 and is clean and tidy.
Breakfast are good (exceptional in Iceland terms).
And we really enjoyed their free hot tubes All good
- Gábor (10/5): -
- Polyxeni (8/5): Ωραία τοποθεσία και ευγενική κοπέλα στην ρεσεψιόν. - Η κοπέλα στην ρεσεψιόν ηταν ευγενέστατη και επειδή θα φεύγαμε το επόμενο πρωινό πολύ νωρίς μας έφερε τοστακια και φρούτα να πάρουμε μαζί μας. Η τοποθεσία ηταν ωραία και χιονίζει κιόλας εκείνο το βράδυ. Ενώ έχει κουζίνα για μαγείρεμα, δεδομένου ότι ειναι μακρια σχετικά απο τον πολιτισμό έλειπαν πολλά βασικά πράγματα ώστε να ετοιμάσουμε κατι να φάμε. Πχ δεν είχε κατσαρόλα να βράσουμε μακαρόνια.
Επίσης δεν παρέχει σαμπουάν. Βέβαια όταν το αναφέραμε η ευγενική κοπέλα στην ρεσεψιόν μας βρήκε και μας εξυπηρετησε.

- Daniel (7/5): Good one night stay - The hotel was very easy to communicate with. They made our late check in no problem and sent an email with the check in instructions. The breakfast was wonderful in the morning! It was actually dark enough to see one little glimmer of northern lights. The sheets and beds are not very comfy. Everything else was good!
- Maité (7/5): Zeer mooie ligging en goede kamer met basic ontbijt - Mooie ruime kamer met goede bedden en propere badkamer. Fantastisch uitzicht. De hottubs zijn zalig! Zeer basic ontbijt, lauwe koffie. Weinig verse producten
