Geothermal wonders await at Geysir Hot Springs, where Strokkur erupts every few minutes in a spectacular display. Hike between the continental plates at Thingvellir National Park or soak in the Secret Lagoon's naturally heated waters.
This was our second visit to this property and it was just as great! We love the location and everything about this cottage is perfect. It’s so serene and the scenery is amazing. We will be back again!

Great location, right across from the Geysirs and 10 minutes to Gullfoss waterfall. The room was spacious. Hotel common area was lovely and quiet. The only negative was the room was warm (no AC and no fan); the only solution is to turn the heat off and open the door (but there are quite a bit of insects in the area). At the hotel restaurant we ordered the chicken wings (very good), lamb chops (good), hamburger (odd).

Ironically the absolute best place we stayed in all of Iceland. Amenities like a kitchen and hot tub and just the amazing view made this extremely worthwhile. Very clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly and responsive to my questions. Even providing suggestions. Location was perfect for the Golden Circle. So dark at night we saw the Northern lights in late August. We loved this cabin. Would definitely come again.

Our stay was fantastic. Would stay again.
Small, but very clean and stylish hotel. SOLID breakfast options.
Great service at the restaurant. Felt like we were eating a classy dinner. And the BUTTER at this restaurant is phenomenal. It's been over a week since we stayed here and we can't stop talking about the bread and butter.

Hotel was really nice. The outside might make you think otherwise, but it truly is a nice place. Great location and the restaurant has good food. A bit pricey, but that's pretty much all the restaurants in Iceland. We stayed there on our second night after snorkeling in Silfra and visiting Gullfoss. It was a convenient location.

We loved the working farm atmosphere, especially being greeted by 2 friendly labs when we arrived! Rooms were decorated nicely and clean. Our stay included breakfast. Dinner menu was limited but still very good. The ice cream was amazing!! Would definitely recommend!

Great place to stay! clean, good amenities, and easy parking. Walls are a little thin, so ear plugs to sleep might be a good idea. One of the best guesthouses for the price.

We had an excellent experience, very, very friendly and accommodating hosts, started at check-in, welcoming us, feeling at home immediately. Asking for our interests and showing us what we could do in the time, we had available, also offering their F&B services, hot tubs, pool. Cottage had it all, nice kitchen, good bathroom, good bedding, most importantly very clean. Cottage, easy to access with our 4*4, parking right in front of it. One key component, great internet, yeah, yeah, I've heard it...

It’s a very comfy hotel, a nice breakfast and a nice little bar right by some good restaurants in Laugarvatn. It’s a good location along the golden circle/Þingvellir national park. The staff is very friendly as well. I also recommend checking out the thermal spa just down the road at Fontana Laugarvatn

Photos can not capture the beautiful scenery at the villa. You are surrounded by nature and the view of the Northern Lights surrounds the area when they are dancing. Our teens, young adults, middle-aged, and senior family members were all able to enjoy the spacious layout. Travel to local sights is easy and worth it in order to be in the tranquil quiet by the lake. I highly recommend staying here. The owners are wonderful hosts.

This property is somewhat remote for some people, but we LOVED it! Location was central between our destinations. Everything was available and seemed quite new. Has a fridge, dishwasher, fabulous shower, stove, and oven. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. We loved staying here and hope others will choose to do the same!

We absolutely loved staying here. The location of the house was perfect for driving the Golden Circle. And we loved sitting in the hot tub looking for Northern Lights and star gazing. Also loved all of the oversized windows and mountain backdrop. Home and beds were warm and comfy! Perfect for our family! We wish we could stayed longer. Thank you so much! God bless!

The only thing I did not like was the church bell across the street that rings every 15 minutes, but the hotel provides ear plugs. They were a great help.

A beautiful secluded hotel out in the countryside about 8 miles outside of Hella. By far the most local experience hotel we stayed in. Very quiet and enjoyed a nice walk in the country one morning.
