The cabins were really nice, and some of them look out on a spectacular view. Cabins were clean and warm, and internet was good. Not all cabins have a spectacular view. The instructions to check in were problematic as the keycode was never sent (or never received). In that case you need to go to a different hotel across the street to get the info. The area is beautiful but not developed for tourists yet.

This property advertising was misleading. We expected the cabin to be out of town and with more seclusion, with nature and space around the cabin. The cabins are in a line facing a nearly dry slew not a large lake or the fjord.
The TV didn't work. The cabins are beautiful, spacious and clean.

The cabins are cute and the little lake had ducklings when we were there. Easy check-in and check out.

Nice cabin

The cabin itself was great, with everything we needed (especially the hot tub on the porch!), but the pictures on the website make the surrounding area look a lot more remote and attractive than it actually is. The lake is very shallow and unsuitable for swimming, but apparently attractive to local jet skiers. The kayaks available for use are fun, but pretty beat up.

Really enjoyed our stay here. Cabin was clean and comfortable. Lovely hot tub. Just be aware not much to eat in town of an evening so plan ahead.

I was expecting the cabin to be in a touristy setting but it was in the middle of the city with no view and little natural light coming in. When we arrived the windows were closed and there was a slight smell.

Nice cabin, fair price.

Amazing cabins right by a lake. Feels very disconnected, which was great. Also has a hot tub. Which was a major plus.

The cabin had a bedroom as well as a kitchen. It was clean and well maintained. The host was very responsive to questions.

Excellent location next to the lake.
Good accommodation.
TV could be improved, as only had a couple of channels.

Very nice cabin in the north of Iceland, very clean and with all facilities. Great view, easy to check in, hot tub in porch overlooking the water and snowy mountains. Instruction about how to use the hot tub very clear. All in all perfect accommodation for us, probably the best we had.

Cabin with in demand hit water hot tub was fantastic. Quiet setting with nice view.

We had a cabin for the night. Beds and linens were not very comfortable. There was a consistent buzz from something thru out the night, possibly the heating system. Not good value for the money. No restaurants open in town.

A slightly disappointing experience when we find out that the cabins are in town - right outside the door are residential apartments, window looks on to a street, the hot tub looks on to another street. We essentially couldn't keep our curtains open without someone being able to see inside. (We saw people walking their dogs are we sat in the tub.) Street lights too bright for good Northern Lights watching. We used the sofa couch for the third person but sheets had holes in them and couch hard to figure out how to make into a bed. The cabin itself was functional and cute but don't be fooled that this is located somewhere remote. It's a hotel in town, but in cabin form. Hot tub was nice!

First impressions of the basic accommodation was cramped and dark.
Courteously, they upgraded us to a better cabin which was really well set up for a family with a new kitchen, dishwasher, fridge etc. Nice adjoining family room with sofas and the bathroom was clean and tidy.
The downstairs bedroom let the cabin down as it was cramped and you had to climb over one bed to the other which was jammed against the heater. Not too keen on the lumpy pillows either, found it hard to sleep. WiFi was in the bedroom and light shone brightly. So did the outside light which shone through the glass door into the bedroom.

The cabins felt pretty dated and low quality compared to the hotel next door. Hot tub made a gurgling noise constantly, so wasn't very relaxing to use. And the mattresses were old and uncomfortable. Bad lighting as well. Overall the place could really use some updates and isn't worth the extra money you'll spend.

Don’t let the picture fool you. Unless you rent one of the two large cabins you will not have a view of the large lake and mountains. However, it was a good deal and we saved money staying here.

Some of the cabins are situated more on a pond. A couple of them are on the ocean. Either way the stay was excellent and the hot tub was wonderful.

We loved our stay at the cabin...it was our favorite place! The hot tub was great, overlooking the mountains. It was nice having complimentary tea/coffee in the lobby, and the town was very quaint! It also had a fun playground for my toddler to run around.

I stayed in a cabin and it was clean and beautiful. There was a lake right by the cabin to watch the sunset/sunrise and also the hotel offered free kayaks and boat to rent for the day. There was also a private hot tub in our cabin which was a perk and it was nice to take some time and relax after a long day of driving. I wish I got to spend an extra night there but there wasn’t much to do or see around the area. I would recommend this place to anyone who is visiting the northern part of Iceland. I also got to see the northern lights the night I stayed there. The front desk lady was also really friend and helpful with all the questions I had.

Awesome cabins on the lake and surrounded by mountains, they are clean and well stocked with everything you would need.Loved the hot tub we got with our cabin as well.You wake up to a view of the lake and mountains covered with Snow usually.They give boats and kayaks for the lake. Coffee is available at the reception 24x7. Overall highly recommend the cabins. there are hotel rooms as well but with a family we would rather use the fully equipped kitchen and extra space. the only thin is that hotel rooms have breakfast included and cabins do not.

Stopped here on our trek around the Ring Road (we went off the circuit up to Olafsfjordur where there is a great outfitter to see the Northern Lights though weather got in the way for us sadly!) ... had one of the large cabins facing the lake, spacious & comfortable, enjoyed hanging out before we moved on our way. Staff super friendly and helpful!! Would go back!

Cabin is just at the edge of lake with beautiful view of the lake. It has all the amenities you need for long stay such as complete kitchen set, satelite TV, large living room and three bedrooms. The only thing needs for is another bedroom would be nice.

I loved this place. I wish I could have stayed longer. Small, cozy town. Very quiet. Amazing view.
