Beautiful property and accomodations. We had room 24. New, large room, clean and all the amenities we needed. There was a kitchen and eating area where we could warm up some dinnner. We stayed here on our way back from visiting the east side of Dettifoss falls which worked out great. We would highly recommend.

This property is a work in progress. The accommodations are brand spanking new; each guesthouse has its own deck and view. The rooms are fresh and clean, but there is not a lot of room to spread out (family of 3). The shared kitchen facilities (there are two) again while new, are not well equipped. One has a large screen TV. There is a microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher and there are stovetops. Dishwashing liquid was being watered down by guests because it was at the very end of the bottle. Lots of dishes, glassware and pots, but no frying pan. You can of course improvise. I would have expected complimentary coffee and tea service - you can brew coffee but if you didn't bring milk/cream - yikes. Only one tea bag available - and it looked like it had been there for a while. Ditto the dry cereal in plastic containers. We had trouble finding the place as there are flags identifying that there is a hotel but we were not in the right place on the road and we upset private homeowners as we looked around for our unit #. There needs to be proper signage so travellers do not have to guess and puzzle and waste time and call phone numbers posted on unoccupied former premises, all when they are tired and just want to settle down and relax. We really felt this property has a lot of potential - it just needs to be more user friendly.

The place is clean. Inside looks newly built/renovated. The glass backdoor and patio was a nice touch, amazing surrounding views. Huge kitchen facility and great number or utensils and appliances for cooking. Beware, it is a shared kitchen. We had an encounter between a group of around 15 people who took over the area and used all the tables and chairs. They were very loud as well. It was an isolated incident though so hopefully won't happen to you. The drive to the lodgings was not pleasant due to the gravel road and the separate check in location was a hassle. Self check in would have been better. The secluded location was creepy at first but it is a perfect get away from city life to have a quiet and peaceful stay.

Good stay!

Good stay for someone wanting to be near Dettifoss. Room was good and clean, but was very small. Also our Wifi didn't work and heat didn't seem to work. But a great stay close to the waterfall which is what we were looking for. Would recommend and would stay again when in the area

Wonderful area, loved our room with nice bath soaps and products. The common area was convenient as well, and the beds were supper comfy, out into had a porch with lovely views as well. Check in was a little confusing but it is a new facility so be aware of that and they are still building it and creating their process, will stay again!

The cabin we were in was actually 5km away from the main check-in building but the employee was super helpful and gave us the exact location for it on Google maps. The accommodations were clean and comfy with a nice seating area, tv, balcony, and good quality products in the shower. We had a lovely view of the river. The kitchen is less than 100ft away and very spacious for dining.

We stayed in a nice new wing of the property. We didn’t see any staff at all, key was left in the door for us and we were instructed to leave it in the door when departing. There is no restaurant or cafe on site, 35 minutes one way to closest place. Luckily we had supplies from the grocery store with us and made do after a long day on the road. Facilities were clean and it is a very quiet location to say the least.
