The simple, minimalistic, nordic design pondered by the stylish materials used are superb. The stuff was very nice and helpful. The amenities are almost perfect (maybe one or two more hot tubs would be useful).

The location was spectacular - right across the street from the geysirs and a 7 min drive to the magnificent Gullfoss waterfalls which allowed us to go there twice - once in the early morning before any other tourists had arrived. The hotel is sleek and modern, and the rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious. The breakfast buffet had many options to choose from - perhaps the best breakfast on our trip. The restaurant was also first rate - loved their Arctic Char and tomato soup.

I liked everything. The property is exactly as on the pictures, even better. Comfy rooms, hot tub, tasty food, beautiful surroundings…Wake-up call for Nothern lights was also helpful, and you can see them very clearly right from your window, if you are too lazy to go outside. Very good selection of breakfast treats - smoked salmon was so delicious! Friendly and helpful staff. Perfect stay! Would love to stay longer)

The hotel staff was simply brilliant, anticipating needs I didn't think they would even care. The location is in a beautiful open field, with gentle hills and open spaces. It's also away from light pollution, which is excellent for aurora watching. The water of the hotel is sourced from a nearby geothermal fountain, so it feels soft and amazing on the skin, plus is tastes delicious. The room is a good size for 2 people. The bathroom is big and the shower is amazing. The bed is soft and confortable. All very inviting and cozy. I simply LOVED it.

We booked the deluxe king studio for 2 nights and it was so amazing! We were 4 people and we shared the studio, and didn’t felt crowded at all. The studio is spacious, very clean, with a huge bed and a spacious couch (though the couch wasn’t that confortable to sleep on). The kitchen is well equipped, you can easily cook for yourself, the coffee machine has capsules (they even made a refill). The bathroom is also really spacious, with free toiletries, which are great quality. Overall our best stay in Iceland. We will definitely book again, for our next trip!

Having to 'get around Ring Road' definitely has its drawbacks. The biggest one we found was when you found a great place, your time there was limited. We did stop for the Lava Show in Vik, which was great, and we had dinner there as well. There was not enough time to really see everything before having to move on.

Iceland is a very expensive place to travel and this guest house was average price for Iceland but the quality of the rooms were low average. Our room had such a bad slope on it we had to sleep at the other end of the bed with our heads above our feet. The bathroom had a toilet in the middle of the room, you had to walk around it to get to the shower and even though the room came with breakfast included it was very poor quality.

Great place in south of Iceland.

Great place in south of Iceland. The town of "flowers" is a good name for this place, as it is the warmest place in Iceland, where they grow flowers and enjoy life. It has the best swimming pool of the whole country, with an amazing "steam room" that is heated with steam straight from the vulcanic core of our planet.
