This was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in--anywhere in the world! The attention to detail and the way the staff went out of their way to make our stay memorable was particularly special as we traveled at Christmas. Their little touches taught us about the Christmas folklore and was delightful. The food in the restaurant was delicious, well priced and wonderful. Having a restaurant on site very convenient. The staff helped arranged special outings for us and, when weather delayed our best efforts, helped us to reschedule in a pinch. The special wake up service was a great touch, even though we didn't get to see the Northern Lights, we slept well knowing they would make sure we did see them if they appeared! All around incredible and we plan to come back!

The scenery was beautiful with the horses and volcano in the distance.
The shared common area was nice and clean and so was the room.

Good location - secluded enough to see Northern Lights right outside the cabin but close enough to Ring Road to access other sites. Had all the necessities to cook a simple meal. Comforting to know the hosts were just a hundred meters away.

Superbe hôtel, magnifique vue et personnels charmants.
Such a fab place to stay. Waterfall up the road. The ferry to the Waterman Islands is 30 mins away; you must visit the puffin and Beluga sanctuary on the islands. You have Vik only an hour away and you see volcanos and mountains everywhere you look. The airport is 1hr45mins away and a wonderful drive. I would happily stay here again.

Hella a bit sparse.
Hella a bit sparse. No good restaurants that we found and they stop serving at 9pm. Not much to Hella but it was in the countryside and we saw the Northern Lights. Our hotel was well lit so we could find it but they would not turn off the lights to view the Northern Lights better.

Small central town, great for staying at the igloos, and great for going all round. So nice to go east to Vik for the Katla ice caves, skogafoss and the waterfall hike, and Vik beach and west for kerid crater and blue lagoon and then north for gullfoss and the geysers. The town itself has a small supermarket, nice bakery and okay places to eat. Looks pretty with the mountains to the side.

We were not happy with the accommodation.
We were not happy with the accommodation. The front desk staff were disorganized. We were told a day before check that we would have 2 cabins instead of the 2 rooms we booked in the main hotel. When we arrived we were told we would get 2 cabins. When we checked I across the street, we were told we had one cabin which was a downgrade for us. One adult had to sleep in an upper bunk bed and the cabin was smelly , some windows did not fully close and the main door did not lock. We were quite disappointed in the accommodations. The cabin was not in good shape. We specifically booked 2 rooms to get 2 bathrooms period. Based in all of this, we would like to request a partial refund.

Extremely lousy management, relocated and downgraded to s cabin nearby with no wifi, handwash or toiletries. Reason given- overbook, well not a acceptable reason in 2023! Avoid at any cost, overpriced for bad service

Location of home is quiet, on a horse farm, about 30 minutes from the main town of Selfoss. It was a good location to explore the south. We would stay there again!

Finally I reached the "true hotel" in Island. Near the main road but quiet. Big and cosy rooms with very nice bathroom. Nice owner at the reception. Very tasty breakfast including hot dishes - first time I had good fried eggs for hotel breakfast. Beds were comfortable with high quality matress. I had dinner at the restaurant - lambs - it was good. I strongly reccomend this hotel for people travelling around Island - the quality is better than in most of the places on the island. Kind regards for Polish stuff :)
Our stay was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, the room was nice and the dinner which could be ordered in the restaurant was delicious. It's a bit pricey, but I had the impression that it was high quality food and also the free breakfast was very good. The spa was also a nice plus, we used the jacuzzi (outside) and the sauna in the evening. I'd always return there to stay in a great hotel on the way to Landmannalaugar.
Staff is great, rooms are comfortable and location is superb for having a dark sky to chase stars & northern lights. You of course need a car to reach the place and closest area with restaurants and supermarkets are around 10 mins by car. However the hotel has breakfast, dinner and a bar you can enjoy as well. Although the dinner was a bit pricey (like everything in Iceland) it was really delicious home-made food.
Very friendly and comfortable environment with the cabin style hotel living up to expectations (except we weren't fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights from there). The only hotel during our trip to offer a fresh cooked breakfast option and dinner was delicious, if a little expensive. To make the most of your stay you need to eat in, as the hotel is quite a distance outside of Hella. Staff were excellent.
great staff - the new guy was super polite and efficient, breakfast was good with lots of fruit (watermelon and melon in iceland!!!), room was big, great location in hella and in general for visiting this part of iceland
