Very cosy and quiet spot. The hot pools are very nice to relax, there’s a wonderful and easy round hike (8km) starting from the property over the canyon / waterfalls. You can get dinner and breakfast there if needed. Northern lights can also be observed from there.

My worst experience in Iceland by far

One thing that surprises me is that there is no warning of which route to take to get there. Coming from the west, our GPS took us through the highlands which was a 3 hour unpaved dangerous experience. I don't blame the hotel for these roads, but it should be out there for someone to see. Because we were trapped in the highlands with no service, we arrived two hours later than we informed the host. The man who greeted us, I believe it was Albricht was incredibly rude. When I walked into reception he said "Can I teach you something?" and walked me to the foyer to show me where to leave my shoes. He said "is this something you can understand?" I thought it was rude but maybe just a language barrier. He continued to make me and my friends feel unwelcome because we arrived late. When I explained why we were late he said "You have a phone, you could have called us" even though I explained we had no service because we were trapped in the highlands. When I asked about laundry he pretended he didn't understand what I was saying and then said they don't have washing machines. When I checked the booking and saw that there was in fact laundry I went back and asked he said curtly, "look at the time, you are too late". It's a shame bc I met Olga the next day and she was really so sweet. We were already so exhausted from the stressful travel if we had just been greeted respectfully it would have made such a difference. Instead it was by far our worst experience in Iceland.

Loved the hot springs on site right next to the place. Staff was very friendly. Didn't like the strict check-in times because we were running late we almost couldn't check in but it all worked out and we should have planned better. Nice breakfast in the morning and everyone working were very friendly. Thanks for that.

Refuge très agréable

Excellent accueil plein d’attentions, les bains chauds au pied du bâtiment et dans ce décors splendide sont un plus, la waterfall circle depuis le refuge aussi. Côté restauration, un plat unique le soir, bon petit déjeuner. Ñombre de douches un peu juste pour 10 chambres, 2 dortoirs de 10 lits, les campeurs et ceux qui viennent pour les bains chauds, en même temps c’est au milieu de nulle part...

Hôtel en pleine nature

Hôtel isolé en pleine nature mais facilement accessible par une bonne route de terre, bains extérieurs d'eau chaude à coté très agréables. Plutôt un refuge de luxe car les chambres sont petites et il n'y a que 2 douches pour tous. Personnel sympathique, repas satisfaisants. Tout est propre et neuf. Une belle rando avec de multiples cascades au départ de l'hôtel.

We wanted a reasonable clean place with natural surroundings. Although there's not much around it, that's exactly what we were looking for. The paid breakfast option is highly recommended

Didn't show up as correct in GPS, it's actually listed under a different name, it's on top of a mountain (literally) so difficult to get through but once you get up there it's worth it! Weather was terrible when we went but their hot pools made it better(except when we had to get out)! Everything was clean and everyone was so nice and ready to help out! They have some nature trails, sadly didn't get to take those, but if we didn't have such little room for adjustments in our travels we would have DEFINITELY stayed another night!

Très bonne étape pour aller vers le volcan d'Askja

Un hôtel/refuge perdu en pleine nature, tout neuf. Chambre petite un peu mansardée, sanitaires communs. Superbe piscine d'eau chaude naturelle, magnifique environnement. Très belle randonnée "le chemin des cascades" à faire dans les environs. Accueil très sympathique, dîner correct, on n'a pas testé le petit-déjeuner car on est parti tôt pour aller au volcan d'Askja. On y serait volontiers resté plus longtemps.

Nice place

The accommodations were great, the staff was helpful, and the rooms clean. The hiking trail near the building wasn't that bad but not well kept, although the trail was nicely marked. The hot springs were nice although there was a lot of algae forming and the tubs weren't as hot as i would have liked it.

Hotel in Icelandic highlands.

Excellent stay if you are an outdoor person. Very remote location, good for hiking and outdoor exploration. Hotel is new and very clean. Remember that you have to tell the host if you want to have dinner, they make food only on request. Breakfast is very good, and as always in Iceland coffee is great.

If you like being out in the remote wilderness, taking hikes to amazing waterfalls where are you will not see another hiker, and then soaking in some of the best natural hot springs you can imagine then this is the place for you! The staff is great too!

Great Secluded Getaway

This is a simple hotel in the middle of nowhere. You need to pass a very steep hill with many hairpin turns to get there. The property is beautiful, the service is great, and the workers are very friendly.

Difficult to reach

We were unable to reach the hotel due to very heavy fog while driving up the mountain on the only route (which was filled with loose gravel) getting to the hotel (in July). We got to a point where we could no longer see the road in front of us. We tried calling the hotel numerous times to no avail. We ended up driving back down the mountain and spending the night in our car. The hotel refused to refund or compensate us whatsoever. They had very poor customer service given that the locals are aware of the driving conditions getting there.
