Enjoyable stay, overall a quite a good experience

The small spa area was sweet, but I wouldn't call it a spa - it's a large hot tub with a small sauna, but still in a nice location and feels very remote which I loved. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the dinner we had in the evening was lovely. The rooms were a good size and the bathrooms had good storage for wash bags etc, and I loved that you could just grab a robe from your room and go straight to the spa without any complications.

Amazing place to stay in remote area but if you have a car it's close enough to go to great places

Room was beautiful, we were upgraded and much appreciated. Dinner lovely and lucky to see and take photos of the northern lights from the bar, outside reception and from outside the back of our room.

Too expensive for the price paid, overrated on Booking.com

Not too many things to highlight. Perhaps staff and quality of breakfast

Lovely design hotel with geothermal pool & sauna facilities a short drive from Selfoss.

Well designed rooms. Great to have the patio room to enjoy the northern lights each night. Enjoyable dinner. Breakfast is not included in the room rate but available at the hotel as an extra charge. Geothermal hot pool & sauna room were enjoyable to relax in. Communal lounge space above was nice. Lovely small walks outside the hotel. Great base to explore all the golden circle sites. We enjoyed the new Laugarás geothermal spa & pools.

So beautiful and comfortable, a real treat once we arrived. Very helpful staff which made us feel welcome after a hard drive. We hit bad snow conditions and would caution drivers to check local apps regularly, the hotel is very remote - which is part of the charm, but you need to be prepared for rapidly changing weather and harsh winter conditions. We were lucky to catch an amazing night of northern lights which was an extraordinary experience out in the middle of nowhere of this hotel!

An unforgettable stay in a unique setting, but there’s room for improvement.

The architecture and accommodation in this unique setting are truly unparalleled. It is unapologetically Instagrammable, dinner at the restaurant is delicious, and the staff are lovely. If you’re looked for a secluded and stylish stay in Iceland, this is the place to be!
