This is a basic hotel with essentials. Don’t expect the most luxurious stay but it will suffice for one night. Positives: great location, within walking distance of Skogafoss and a 25min drive from Vik, also put on a decent breakfast with some scrambled eggs, Skyr, fresh fruit and cheese plates. Negatives: the shower smelled of sulfur and the outside smelled of fresh cow faeces (no cows in sight). It will absolutely do for a nights stay, its independent check in which was very easy to do. Not sure what you would do if there’s a problem as I didn’t see any staff.

Excelente lugar para descansar

Stayed here for a night on a recent trip and was pretty disappointed. The rooms have paper thin walls, we were on the second floor and could hear everything that happened in the common room as well as the rooms next to us, which wasn't ideal since they were hanging out until 1:30am and we had an early morning. The shower and sink water smelled like sulfur, since I took a shower now I do too. The keypad on the room was finicky and seemed to stop working all together even though we would enter the right code over and over; we couldn't both leave the room until checkout for fear of being locked out. The restaurant food was cold and overpriced, and of course not included. On a positive note we were about to sort of see the northern lights from our room and the breakfast was free.

Hace mucho frío tanto en la habitación, y eso que es muy pequeña, como en el pasillo y el salón de los desayunos gélidosñ total. El desayuno está bien y la persona que nos atendió ha sido muy amable y atento, lo.mejor de nuestra estancia ha sido este chico y su amabilidad

Had a nice late-season stay. It was quiet and simple. Exactly what we were looking for. Breakfast was great. Try the curried herring ????

Nice cozy place. Go to restaurant near Skogafoss to get access number for the premise and the room.

This is NOT a hotel it's an air b & b. No staff in building rooms were dirty.. would NOT recommend or return.. need to be advertised for what it is. They never told us it was in manned until taken payment.

This has to be one of the worst hotels I've stayed at, and I paid almost $300 for a night. Where to start....

- Never received any code or anything by email. - - - Had to call them the evening of check in and got a code to enter and my room number.
- Room was TINY, and the bed so small I couldn't even sleep on my side and spread my legs.
- Had to kill at least 4 flies inside the room.
- Water smell is horrible, as if it's straight from the geyser.
- Cheap soap from a dispenser in the bathroom.
- Curtain doesn't shut properly so people can see inside the room.
- You can hear EVERYTHING outside your room, and between rooms. No sound proofing at all.
- Hot tub was filthy.

Overall it feels like a house that has been converted to a hotel in a very shoddy way. Stay away at all costs. My hotel reviews are always very fair, but I'm in disbelief at this one, especially given how much I paid.

Warmen Pools sehr zu empfehlen. Frühstück gut. Alles sehr solide

Situato a due passi dall'omonima cascata, da fuori lascia un po' a desiderare, ma entrando le cose cambiano camere spaziose e pulite.

Nous avons passé une nuit agréable et calme.
Chambre propre, correcte et bien équipée malgré un mobilier un peu vieillissant.
Café, thé en libre accès à l'accueil, très appréciable.
Petit déjeuner très bien avec produits maison.
Effectivement une odeur dans la salle de bain mais plus probablement liée à l'eau un peu souffrée, pas de problème de canalisations comme on peut lire dans d'autres commentaires

We had to sleep with an open window as the room smelled badly.

La habitación amplia y moderna.
La ubicación, aparte de súper cerca de impresionantes cascadas y caminata, lejos de supermercados y restaurantes.
En cuanto al servicio, muy amables, la única pega es que no nos facilitaron la clave de acceso y no hay nadie por la tarde noche...
A destacar los huevos revueltos, impresionantes ????

This is a good place to rest after a long drive. It is within 5 minutes walking distance to the waterfall so very convenient. Cool to walk there at night if you have a flashlight and see billions of stars. As for the hotel, we didn’t do much there but sleep. Beds were comfy, continental breakfast was fine and coffee was hot. Everything you need to kick off a long day of hiking. We did not eat at the restaurant or use the showers. As for the smell that other reviewers mentioned, look out the back window and you’ll see a hundred sheep. If you’re not used to the smell of a farm, this isn’t the spot for you, but if you’re in need of a simple place to crash near the falls, it’s a fine place.

Well rooms are hard to get if you dont reserve. We got their last room. It was very clean. Room was very warm with the heat off. High winds in the night, and kept hearing something banging around. Had a good breakfast. Friendly staff.

À notre arrivée, l'hôtel qui apparaît sur les photos a mal vieilli. La peinture s'écaille et la cour n'est pas entretenu. En comparant les vieux commentaires avec les plus récents, le tout tend à se confirmer.
Accueil dans un hall très peu lumineux. L'employé est sympa. Il nous est mentionné que le resto vient tout juste de fermer. On nous propose quand même de commander un repas via un menu assez coûteux (5700 isk pour un portion de saumon). Jusque là c'est correct.
Le problème est que ce stratagème semble être utilisé avec tous les clients, peu importe l'heure d'arrivée. Nous avons été témoin du même stratagème plus d'une heure après notre arrivée alors qu'il faisait de même avec une nouvelle arrivante. Ça nous porte à croire qu'il s'agit de vente à pression malhonnête.
Une fois à table, le saumon semble venir tout droit du Costco et est en très petite portion peu goûteuse. Le tout avec littéralement 6 frites et 6-7 feuilles de salade. Le tout était peu goûteux et servi dans une salle à manger où les lumières clignotent incessamment.
La chambre était propre mais très mal insonorisée. Elle était spacieuse et bien meublée.
Le petit déjeuner était bon.
Point fort, l'hôtel est directement à côté de la chute Skogafoss et le lit est confortable.

Nach 2,5 Wochen Island: Dies war - mit weitem Abstand - die schlechteste Unterkunft während unserer Rundreise (mit zahlreichen Hotels).

Von einem Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel kann nur dringend abgeraten werden.

POSITIV: Gute Lage nahe dem Skogafoss. Freundliches (aber überfordertes) Personal.

NEGATIV: Muffiger, feuchter Geruch des Zimmers, was wir durch Lüften und Aufdrehen der Heizung beheben konnten.

Es stinkt zudem extrem aus den Abflussrohren im Badezimmer (kein Schwefel, sondern eindeutig Abflussgeruch). Schimmel im Badezimmer, v.a. in der Dusche.

Sauna und Fernseher ohne Funktion.

Schlechter Zustand der Zimmer: Ein Regalbrett kollabierte unter dem Gewicht einer Packung Kekse und fiel auf das darunterliegende, neue iPhone.

Frühstück erst ab 08:00 Uhr. Als wir am Vorabend um ein früheres Frühstück baten, da wir zu einer Hochland-Tour aufbrechen mussten, wurde uns sehr freundlich ein Frühstück um 07:00 Uhr zugesichert. Allerdings erschien das erste Personal (dieselbe Person wie am Vorabend) erst um 07:20 Uhr, so dass es für uns weder Frühstück noch die zweitbeste Option, Sandwiches zum Mitnehmen, gab.

Insgesamt eine unterirdische Erfahrung. Eine Entschädigung wurde weder angeboten noch auf Nachfrage gewährt.

Cozy little hotel in the Icelandic countryside. Walking distance to Skogafoss. Room 204 has a killer view.

Hôtel agréable avec une vue sur la cascade depuis la salle du petit déjeuner / restaurant. Nous avions une chambre triple un peu mal ventilée (condensation sur les murs) et la salle de bains n’était pas des plus agréables. Le reste de la chambre était cependant correct. Point positif : hot tub et sauna à l’extérieur avec une belle vue.
