    Really appreciated that the Guesthouse staff sent a message with the Google maps location on the day of arrival. The Holssel compound feels quite new and the check-in process was smooth (key was left in lock upon arrival). Shared kitchen was very...

    Modern and very clean. The location was unique—felt very secluded. I enjoyed the solitude despite the bumpy drive. Breakfast was well thought out. An effort was definitely made.

    Clean room with excellent bedding. Full kitchen with everything needed. Two bathrooms for four guest rooms, though shared bath isn’t my favorite. In the middle of nowhere but good to have a place to stay in the middle of nowhere. Nice staffs.

    Everything was lovely. Definitely off the beaten path. I was hoping for clear nights to see the lights, alas it was cloudy.

    Very clean modern new building with separate kitchen/ dining building.
  • Mariaung

    Nice quiet location away from the main road , but very close to Dettifoss. Our room was pretty big (one double and one twin bed ) in a pretty new building, and had a beautiful view of a river with snowy mountains farther away. But the best part...

    shared kitchen worked fine. Didn't expect private bath and it was nice. Facilities are remote, about 5 miles off major road on gravel road. Facilities were awesome, new, clean and a super place to watch for northern lights.
