Home away from home
We had a very enjoyable stay at this quiet and comfortable guesthouse with courteous hosts and all the comforts of home. The location is also very good, being just a few miles north of Asbyrgi and Dettifoss. I would highly recommend it.

Isolé, au milieu de la végétation, très paisible. La guesthouse est tres bien organisée et équipée. Certaines chambres sont plus grandes que d’autres. Salles de bain propres et pratiques.

Die Bäder sind neu renoviert. Der Gang ist sehr eng, aber in Zimmer, Gemeinschaftsküche und Bad ist viel Platz.

The facilities are very clean and cosy. With all the indispensable services for one night. However, no direct contact with the staff and unfortunately no hot water in the morning for showering.

Recently upgraded
This place has had many recent upgrades. Rand new WCs with heated floors. A new patio allows ample room for sitting outside. Located right outside the national park.

Thank you
Our rental car broke down. They were extremely accommodating and concerned. We needed to wait 8 hours for the new car to be trucked to the guesthouse.
Thank you !

Una struttura molto ben organizzata e ben indicata sulla strada. Il bagno con il pavimento riscaldato è stata la sorpresa finale in un posto molto curato e pulito.
