“Clean and comfy, would stay again”
Good sized room, comfy beds and clean. Shared bathroom and kitchen facilities but all were clean and well maintained, didn't have to wait to access them at any point. Location is 30 minutes drive north of Dettifoss waterfall. Owner let us know a left item had been found so we could pick it up which was much appreciated.

Very good noise isolation. We lived with a loud spanish company, but once you closed the room door, nothing could be heard. Heated floors in the bathroom is a great touch. Spacy dining room.
