Personal service from staff. Tourism advice, fee maps, trouble shooting. All above and beyond the call of duty.

As previous reviews have mentioned, the walls are paper thin. This became a problem for my friends who had a room next to a very noisy group of young men who were up late. I could hear someone snoring in the room next to mine, as well as people climbing the loft stairs when they arrived late. Compared to meals we had later in the trip, the prix fixe dinner was lovely but overpriced.

I chose this property for the quiet countryside location, and it exceeded my expectations. The view overlooking the river from the huge restaurant windows is beautiful. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Clean cozy rooms. Breakfast is included. A young, friendly border collie who was "Happy" (his English name) to accompany me on walks around the property. Perfect location for exploring: Deildartunguhver; Snorrastofa Museum; The Cave Vidgelmir; Sturlureykir Visiting Horse Farm; the waterfalls of Hraunfossar; and Háafell - Goat farm (unfortunately for us this was still closed in early May).

The only thing I can think of, is that there could have been more healthy choices for breakfast & also some decatenated coffee & / or herbal teas, as I cannot drink caffeine.

Situated in a lovely valley. Room very nice with lovely seating area up in roof, (so long as you could duck, when going up the stairs.) Very friendly & helpful staff. Had a beautifully cooked evening meal there, in the impressive restaurant / reception area. Breakfast was pleasant.

Could've had better lighting in the bathroom.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Warm , inviting dining and reception area. Beautiful views. Comfortable efficient room, great shower. Nice included breakfast. Has a restaurant during high season. We saw northern lights right outside our room.

There was no soap or shower soap provided in the bathroom. Since it was late at night we could not contact the front. We should have checked ahead of time.

We chose Hotel A because of Barnafoss, both of which we were not disappointed at all. The 4 bedroom house was on the mountain and had beautiful views. It was too large for 6 people. There were a living room, fireplace and large dining table. Unfortunately, we did not buy fresh meat and grocery to cook. The kitchen was large and had everything. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of food, fruits. Good view in the morning.

Unfortunately, we didn't stay for dinner but ate elsewhere. We are sure it would have been better than elsewhere. What we didn't like most was having to leave.

The view of the river from the porch was spectacular! This was the only place we stayed where we heard the local wildlife. We also enjoyed awaking to a dog to play with in the morning.

Loved everything.

Multiple generation-family owned property. Very friendly and helpful with where to go. Beautiful views. Rather secluded on a loop that includes a lava tube tour, a glacier tour, a nice waterfall and river hike, a horse stable with tour, and the Krauma hot Springs Spa. We were there three days and had plenty to do. Most nights (if enough customers) the family provided a lovely and simple (pre-ordered) dinner with two choices of entree... Which was great because the closest restaurant was at the Krauma hot Springs (30?) minutes away. Breakfast was complete Scandinavian breakfast with plenty to eat. The room was comfy with heated floors, a comfy bed and a little loft area. This was a great choice for us.

Breakfast was a little light and they didnt serve dinner (but it was a weekday and low traffic night- they were up front on that) The room also got very very hott overnight. BUT once we moved the curtain over air came in through the window much better and we were very comfortable

Unique rooms and a beautiful view

A small fridge in the rooms would be helpful.

It is a very nice location, close to Hraunafossar and it is calm. The rooms are quite spacious, the integrated bathrooms could be a little bigger, for elderly people it is a little tight. The breakfast had basic choices, enough for a good start into the day. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Lovely location outside Reykholt - great for hiking, access to glacier, waterfalls, museums around Rekholt, geothermal springs. Great common space with lots of atmosphere and spaces to sit, play games, have coffee or a glass of wine. Delicious meals served for dinner and breakfast buffet and coffee were perfect. Can’t go past the staff who go above and beyond to help out. LOVED our stay here. Didn’t want to leave.

Very accomodating. Nice dinner. Good location for access to the glacier and Lava tube cave.

The room was a bit too hot.

We liked the view from the restaurant overlooking the river, the friendly staff, the puppy and the Northern lights. Great location for visiting the caves or glacier.
