Really amazing location and the rooms are great! (we had a cottage) lots of hikes around - we decided to do an off the course hike to a waterfall close by. The hosts were very understanding especially as we travelled with kids - even kept the breakfast open late for us. The breakfast was great as well, given most places offered the bare minimum

Neat, clean, well maintained. Easy check-in. Would’ve been a great place to view the northern lights if not for bad weather. Zero draft and well insulated. The place is neat and clean. Absolutely loved staying here.

An incredible place! This is where we saw a mind-blowing display of the Northern Lights. It's really worth it to book a room with a view to the glacier, it was one of the best views we've ever had in a hotel room. And we were also able to admire the Northern Lights from the comfort of our room :)

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.

Spacious comfortable room. Good hotel. Relatively close for glacier excursions near diamond beach. Easily accessible. Enough parking. Helpful and friendly staff. It’s a big complex with a lot of rooms, but we liked the (family friendly) vibe around the complex and in the halls to the rooms.

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.

Great place, ideally located near the glacier lake. Rooms are simple but with a lot of space and well maintained. A good stop for campers looking for a rest night in a cozy hotel. Restaurant was great!
