It is a cozy beautiful stay. The best part of the stay is very helpful host. Some might find the place a bit small but the facility is very new.

Big room and confortable bed. Book the room facing the glacier, the price is worth it. A little far from restaurants and shops, but tottaly worth it for the peace and quiet. They have breakfast and dinner available. There is a coffee station by the entrance but no one was changing and puting new coffee, so coffee was cold from the day before already. When you come to the room you feel there is something missing there, the room is so big and it only has a small table and 2 chairs. Big part of the wall is just empty. I think these rooms deserve a resting chair or a little sofa with a coffee table :) Nice and helpful staff at the reception. It was a really nice stay! 1h away from the Glacier Lagoon!

The house was very warm and beautifully decorated. Both the room and the bathroom were very clean. The shared kitchen had everything you need. The house has two floors with a shared bathroom per floor. There are three to four rooms on each floor. The shared bathroom had everything you need (shampoo, toilet paper, etc.). Towels are also provided for each guest. Even though we arrived late and the restaurant was closing, they welcomed us and served us delicious soup (meat soup and fish soup). The breakfast was also very good. I recommend the accommodation for the friendly atmosphere, the food and the cleanliness.

The glaciers were amazing!!!! We even saw seals. The sand on the black beach... Pay for parking or you'll get a fine in the mail, which the rental company will then charge to your card along with their handling fees. Download the PARKA.IS app

The only downside is that there's no restaurant open at night, and the nearest one is 40 km away, which is difficult to navigate on these roads at night. However, the hostess helped us with some snacks and fruit and resolved this issue. So, excellent service.

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.

It is just a simple hotel, too expensive and surprisedly just because of location, not of the hotel and services itself. Breakfast was okey.
