Beautiful property and accomodations. We had room 24. New, large room, clean and all the amenities we needed. There was a kitchen and eating area where we could warm up some dinnner. We stayed here on our way back from visiting the east side of Dettifoss falls which worked out great. We would highly recommend.

Good stay!

Good stay for someone wanting to be near Dettifoss. Room was good and clean, but was very small. Also our Wifi didn't work and heat didn't seem to work. But a great stay close to the waterfall which is what we were looking for. Would recommend and would stay again when in the area

The guesthouse was quite a way off the main road on a very bumpy road. This made getting there more difficult, but the location was ideal for seeing the northern lights and to get to the east entrance to Dettifoss. Our room was nice, modern, and very clean. The main issue we had was that it was confusing where to go to check in. The reception is several miles from the guesthouse, but there are no directions given in the Check-in instructions. It was frustrating to have to drive back and forth for miles on the very bumpy road. It is a very nice spot, just be sure to know how to get to the reception to check in.

The place is clean. Inside looks newly built/renovated. The glass backdoor and patio was a nice touch, amazing surrounding views. Huge kitchen facility and great number or utensils and appliances for cooking. Beware, it is a shared kitchen. We had an encounter between a group of around 15 people who took over the area and used all the tables and chairs. They were very loud as well. It was an isolated incident though so hopefully won't happen to you. The drive to the lodgings was not pleasant due to the gravel road and the separate check in location was a hassle. Self check in would have been better. The secluded location was creepy at first but it is a perfect get away from city life to have a quiet and peaceful stay.

Wonderful area, loved our room with nice bath soaps and products. The common area was convenient as well, and the beds were supper comfy, out into had a porch with lovely views as well. Check in was a little confusing but it is a new facility so be aware of that and they are still building it and creating their process, will stay again!

Nice place

This was the only place to stay around the area so we booked it. The place was nice enough. It's a shared bathroom among 5 rooms with a full kitchen. The place is a little older, but the rooms were clean.

The cabin we were in was actually 5km away from the main check-in building but the employee was super helpful and gave us the exact location for it on Google maps. The accommodations were clean and comfy with a nice seating area, tv, balcony, and good quality products in the shower. We had a lovely view of the river. The kitchen is less than 100ft away and very spacious for dining.

Plenty of easy parking in front of the hotel. Not as close to the lake as we thought and shame it was extra to use the sauna and hot tubs. Room was clean, bathroom was modern and slept great with black out curtains.
