This is an incredibly beautiful hotel. The room is well appointed with everything you could need including c-charging adapters built in to the headboard. The bed is the most comfortable bed in all our stays throughout Iceland. The breakfast in unreal and the selection of fresh, quality food is unlike any hotel breakfast I've ever had. The view surrounding the hotel is really beautiful and parking is plentiful. The hotel provides robes and slippers for the hot tub and the view of the glacier and mountains is perfect while you soak. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the stay and room service is lightening fast!

I loved absolutely everything about this manor. It was refined-country, cozy, crisp, and sophisticated-for-Iceland without being pretentious or minimalistic. Painted wooden panels, lush couches and beds that you sink into, spacious bathrooms. Beyond the decor being truly attractive, the staff was always smiling and helpful. After a freezing trip under the Seljalandsfoss waterfall's spray, I felt my extremities again in their clean sauna and further rejuvenated in the pool looking directly out into the landscape. Food was delicious with intriguing combinations of tastes. Parking was free and plentiful, access from the main road was simple, yet removed from the fray. I highly recommend this hotel/manor.

Room was nice. Check in is located in the Restaurant on the property, so it took us a few to find check in. Room was comfy. Breakfast served was good and had your American and EUR favorites: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, bread, pancakes, cookies, sandwich meat, beans(?), yogurt, coffee and juice. Cannot say anything about the view, since we arrived in the dark and left in the dark.

This hotel was easily one of our favorites during our two-week adventure through Norway, Iceland, and beyond. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed. The hotel was impeccably clean and comfortable, and the little touches, like the fantastic-smelling soap, shampoo and body lotion, went a long way. The on-site dining was exceptional, featuring the best steak I've had in this trip. The quality of the food was truly top-notch. The staff was incredibly kind and friendly. My husband enjoyed great conversation with the manager while relaxing at the bar. The mountain views were breathtaking, and the hotel's proximity to the beach allowed us to capture stunning photos of the surrounding landscape. Overall, this hotel provided an exceptional experience, and we highly recommend it if you want a comfortable, quiet place in the middle of the nature.

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.
