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.

The guesthouse was quite a way off the main road on a very bumpy road. This made getting there more difficult, but the location was ideal for seeing the northern lights and to get to the east entrance to Dettifoss. Our room was nice, modern, and very clean. The main issue we had was that it was confusing where to go to check in. The reception is several miles from the guesthouse, but there are no directions given in the Check-in instructions. It was frustrating to have to drive back and forth for miles on the very bumpy road. It is a very nice spot, just be sure to know how to get to the reception to check in.

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.

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.

Nice place

This was the only place to stay around the area so we booked it. The place was nice enough. It's a shared bathroom among 5 rooms with a full kitchen. The place is a little older, but the rooms were clean.

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.
