The property was in the middle of nowhere but still easy to find, especially in the dark. I switched to this place at the last minute and we were mostly glad we did. The staff was wonderful and the homemade bread and jam was fabulous. Our bathroom sink and tub were not draining very well so we had to be careful about that. The room walls are VERY thin so the noise from the other people were a bit disturbing. From the pictures we thought we would have a separate cabin but ours ending up having four rooms attached. The people next to us were very loud. The lamps above the beds were so low that we kept hitting our heads. There are no phones in the cabin either so we were able to call anyone for questions or help. We had a very hard time locking our door and couldn't ask anyone for help. The Wifi password was different on the key, compared to the instructions on the paperwork in the cabin.....it should have been capitalized. There is also no tv/radio or anything so if you like to fall asleep to white noise or tv, you will need to bring your own stuff. We stayed for two nights. Didn't have dinner there as we don't like lamb and the breakfast was small but it worked. The staff was super friendly and we loved that it was located up the street from the gorge. It was beautiful. Being on a sheep farm was pretty cool as well.

Sheep and Serenity

The property backs up to a butte with adorable sheep grazing and 2 minutes from a famous canyon. It is peaceful and beautiful. The staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast was perfect and light. A very pleasant experience 10/10 recommend.

房間乾淨，有舒適的配置，一張書桌、衣櫃、茶几及兩張椅子。進房間的時候暖氣已經打開。旅館有自己的農場，餐廳食物好吃。 但是早餐偏簡單。 四周環境安靜。 距離兩公里有一個漂亮的峽谷。 旅館有舒適的交誼廳，有一本附近景點書可以參考。

Stayed one night here and loved the vibe & feel of the cabins. Staff were friendly & courteous. To top it off, I got to witness the start of Iceland’s ‘réttir’, which was truly amazing. The breakfast, however, was continental and basic compared to other hotels I stayed at during my 17-day trip to Iceland.

We were disappointed to find that for almost twice the cost of our previous accommodation in Hofn the shared bathroom was small. One of our party of three could not fit in the shower cubicle. Room eas small but warm, comfortable and cosy. We HATE the late check in times in Iceland. 3pm or later. Had to ask for extra pillows. 3 yrips to reception in the rain. No roof on the entranceway of the cabin.
