“Would recommend”
Glorious place in the middle of nowhere. Convenient for a trip down the F35 road. Nothing special but that suits the location. One of my favourite places I stayed at in Iceland.

“Disappointment”
Booking.com sold us the accommodation with breakfast included, which was information from last year, not the fact of today.

“We will be back.”
Clean and neat, good accommodation with shared kitchen and dining area in very good condition. Quiet and out of main area. Margeta took very good care of things and was very helpful and warm persona. We cannot find anything wrong with this place at all.
