    Not many eating options close by. Would get very crowded in kitchen and bathroom in busy times. Can hear noise from other rooms so would depend on other guests.

    Fantastic accommodation, beds are very very comfortable. Great location along the Golden Circle. Great kitchen to cook your own food. Highly recommend. Free shampoo and conditioner in every shower.

    The owner greeted me as soon as I got out of my car. She showed me around the building I would be staying in, which was lovely. Everything was so clean, the views were amazing, the showers were great. They have horses and sheep on property, which are fun to visit in the barn. Like 5 minutes to geyser. This was my favorite property I stayed at during my trip. I would stay here again!

    The rooms are basic but very comfortable. The best part of this hotel is its location, which is very close to several must-see spots in this area of Iceland. I was also very lucky because, being in a rural area, I could see the Northern Lights from the hotel. Another strength of the hostel is its staff. They are very friendly and welcoming.

    One sink and kitchen stove so can get quite busy but to be expected

    Great amenities! The kitchen and chill out area was well equipped and the rooms were very comfortable. The area is right off the main highway but still dark enough to see the aurora at midnight in March.

    It was all good. If people respect the timings you will have a great night. But the walls are not sound proof so you can listen people in the other rooms.

    This guest house have a wonderful location. Close to Geysir and gullfoss. The house have lots of windows what is amazing to enjoy the beautiful landscape and if you lucky northern lights from your bed. The space was clean and comfortable. Host was nice.

    The only thing that could make this location better is a bigger kitchen. It is a bit small since it's shared between all the guests, but it was well stocked with pots/pans, a mini fridge, electric burners, and a microwave.

    The location was great! Just 5 minutes from Geysir and Gullfoss. The staff were so nice and welcoming, and the rooms were comfortable.

    I saw reviews about the walls between the rooms being thin and that you can hear people walking around, which is true. However, all guests were very quiet at night I had no problem at all and slept well.

    Excellent location only a few min driving from the famous geyser and Gulfoss waterfall on the Golden Circle. Amazing views out of the kitchen/common room area. Lovely place that has been created with a lot of love for detail. It doesn't feel like a hostel, more like a boutique hostel. :) There is free parking in front of the house. Everything was very clean, the check-in was quick and easy and the facilities are well-kept. They even offer complimentary shampoo etc. in the bathroom. The staff was very friendly and always happy to help. My mattress was a bit on the soft side but I slept well. Best surprise for me was that they offer riding tours on Icelandic horses! I booked one for the next morning and had a fantastic time. You can rent everything you need for it, so try it out! I'll definitively be back next time I'm in Iceland.

    The staff were very friendly, giving a tour of the property on arrival. The facilities provided everything needed for a nights stay - not lavish but certainly clean and comfortable. I chose to do a horse ride in the morning of my stay, and this was a fantastic experience.
