It was good for one night
Colleen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice stay here, staff were super nice. We didnt have the evening meal, but they did offer several options. Breakfast was basic, however staff had other options to add upon request, (scramble some eggs etc)without extra cost as well which was nice!

Enjoyed the stay.. Will plan to come back next time

Lovely place. Incredibly quiet and isolated (in a good way). Great building - interesting history with original features. Very comfortable and friendly stay. Many thanks.
Beveridge, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful stay. It was very quiet and close to the sites we wanted to see. Good dinner menu with a nice range of options - the lasagne was delicious!
Caitlin, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We would not stay here again! You should find another place to stay. We booked a queen bed with a private bathroom and an ocean view. We got there and the check-in is very slow, the building is very dated, there is a very musty smell and we were given two twin beds with a private bathroom in a basement with a 15 inch window that looked at the grass. They switched us to twin beds with a shared bathroom. This was much nicer, but not what we had booked. The breakfast was very sparse. The drive out to this hotel was really inconvenient. We would find a different place to stay. This place reminded us of a building from a horror movie.

6/10 Okay

With 13 rooms. Only 2 Wc/Shower. One was very small, old, didn't even have proper hooks to hang clothes. Shower didn't drain properly. You were always in 3 " of water from start to finish.

Simple, comfortable, clean and quiet rooms in a beautiful and remote location (unpaved road). The breakfast was superb and the host was unusually helpful.

Perfect Place

The check in was a breeze. Happy Hour was great. The dinner selection was good and tasty food!! The morning breakfast buffet was a delight as well!! Very friendly staff!
Candace, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean, warm, and quiet with very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast selection with fresh made waffle batter and freshly baked bread. Also is located right next to a horse farm! Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling in the area
YOUNGKYU, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really close to the Hvitserkur, you can wake up, take a coffee and a waffle and go visit. The staff was super nice and welcoming!
Joelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stop if you’re driving the ring road and don’t want to do Reykjavik to Akureyri in 1 day! We were the first to arrive for the night so we were a little worried because it didn’t look open from the road but once inside, it’s clean, cozy and the views are great—Open/dark skies for northern lights viewing close to a beautiful black sand beach! Would definitely stay again!

The property was clean and very reasonable. The proprietors provided a lovely breakfast and clean sheets and towels.

Stunningly beautiful. Loved walking nearby. Service excellent, friendly and loved breakfast. Very peaceful
STEVE, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Just a few minutes away from the hvitserkur, perfect to see it first thing in the morning. The breakfast was really good, try the waffles! The staff was sweet and accomodating (we arrive in the middle of the night due to a snow storm, they left the key for us at the reception) Bonus point for the cute islandic blanket over the bed, keeping us really warm, even with the snow storm outside ^-^

It's a good place to be isolated. Maybe in winter will be ideal to see the northern lights. The road to get there is not paved, so it takes longer than the calculated route. Showers and toilets are shared. Includes complimentary breakfast
Leonardo, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Some of the descriptions were a little misleading. There is NO restaurant on site except for breakfast. And when they say there are other restaurants in town they mean 20 to 30 kilometers away. If we'd known that we could have planned better and would have given a higher rating.
Laura, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property was fine to stay for one night but the shower and room were very basic, even for Icelandic standards. It felt and looked like staying in a dormitory. My biggest complaint was the lack of, essentially no communication when I had sent several messages to the websites and tried calling prior to our arrival and there was no response for days. However the problem did get resolved when arriving a day earlier but it would’ve been nice to have better communication.
Kayla, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Hotel is in suburb area, nothing around or near by . stayed one night because of no other choices. Room is clean but tiny, share bathroom clean but not convenient. Be careful with this hotel , I reserved the room 1 night (May 24) with a credit card choosing pay at the hotel. When I checked in, I used a different credit card to pay for the room. When I returned home, they double charged me on 2 different credit cards. The double charge even on the day I already left Iceland (May 28) . This hotel scams people by double charges and if you don’t pay atttetion you will end up paying them twice.

6/10 Okay

Extrem schlechtes Wifi sollte mal geprüft oder neugemacht werden, und das in einer Gegend wo es nur mobile 3G gibt. Frühstücksbüffet minimalistisch und etwas amateurhaft. Gesamtwertung gerade so okay, ohne mehr.
Jacky, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel and rooms are very basic but it was still quite pricey although there were hardly any other guests. It seems as though the owners are still only part way through renovating it. The location is beautiful & very peaceful. Breakfast was minimal but we had a good dinner the night before about 30 minutes away in Hvammstangi at Sjavarborg restaurant.
