One tongue of the glacier was almost right next to the guest house!! The location - right off of the ring road and close to Hofn - was very convenient.

The part of the building I was in seemed brand new but seems as if it was rushed to put together. Quite and beautiful views with an excellent breakfast.

We enjoyed staying here. Staff were nice. Breakfast was good. They had thermal hot springs associated with the hotel that were fun to use, which was nice.

Great location for a glacier walk. Staff was great working with us on a late checkout. Great breakfast buffet!

This guesthouse is located in an extremely beautiful location and is by itself so that it feels very private. Guests have access to the hot spring pools, which are lovely and, again, just in the best location. The scenery is amazing. The staff is wonderful and helpful and the rooms are very nice.

Really lovely little hotel, the rooms are big and clean, restaurant is excellent. The desk in the room is too small though.

The setting is what makes this property exceptional, as it provides a perfect, close view of the nearby glacier, with Icelandic horses in the foreground--absolute epic!

Perfect lodging for aurora viewing. You have the glacier just across the field. We got a message from the reception that there wasn't going to be anyone at the desk upon our arrival (a little offputting but it resulted to be ok after all) the breakfast was good. I would recomend this place 100%

Small b&b kind of in the middle of nowhere with a great view of the glaciers outflow area. Rooms were nice, clean, and had great blackout curtains. The breakfast was good. Staff friendly. There’s horses and sheep in the property next door so it was neat to watch them

Hotel is a gem in the middle of nowhere. Amazing view of the Glacier and an evening relaxing in the hot spring with a glass wine was just perfection. Easy hike to edge of hotel. Hostess was very gracious and helpful. Breakfast simple but tasty, coffee awesome.

We saw northern lights from the road. The room was spacious. The drain wasn’t great, the TV didn’t work and there was no hear, it was really cold. The location was magnificent!

Nice clean property- breakfast was acceptable- not good but acceptable- glacier view was beautiful- fire alarms at 2 AM really affected sleep but you can't make people behave
