Hellen
Amazing cozy stay. We had no issues.
Derika
The rooms were amazing, super clean, cozy, surrounded by glaciers and we woke up to sheep outside our window in the morning. Easy check in and check out, we wished we could’ve stayed here a few more nights it was so lovely!
Stephanie
Cute, clean little hotel with an awesome view. I absolutely loved it here!
Divyansh
Nice.
Kristen
Loved this place!! Super clean and convenient. There is no reception area, but the host is very responsive! Beautiful area. Highly recommend!
Julia
Loved the view out the back window, convenient location, but didn't love waking up to the construction happening out front.
Cheng
A bit pricy but the view from the cabin was stunning.
Mark
The view of the glacier was great.
James
Wonderful place to stay with a window view that is like a beautiful painting showing lupine, mountains and glacier but it is real! The owners were great and shared the history of the property. I’m telling all my friends about this place. Loved it!!!
gabby
Lovely room and facilities- spectacular view of glaciers! The lobster roll from the food truck at Jökulsárlón was best ever!! Thank you
Jaime
An amazing set up nice design there just were things like dust build up and really old kitchen utensils that should be replaced like a burnt old frying pan. For the money a night we expected kitchen supplies to be in good shape
Janice
Great place to stay with an amazing view!
The cabins are all equipped and very well appointed. Beds were very comfortable.
Nice touches like in floor heating and a retractable screen in the skylight.

It was a great place to stay. Clean comfortable and great little kitchenette. This is the kind of place you want to stay when traveling along Ring Road
Junshu
Unbeatable location for seeing aurora. Beautiful Mountain View’s. Room is very well designed for convenience and kitchenette was very helpful for cooking simple meals.
Alberto
Beautiful small cabin. Loved the warm bathroom floor. Clean. Comfortable. Easy find and easy to get in. Would stay here again.
Carrie
The view of the glacier is stunning. The skylight and large window were perfect for viewing the northern lights. The hosts made us feel special on our honeymoon by hanging a congratulations banner. The room is large and the cooktop, tea kettle, and dishes were great for preparing a few meals.
Zixuan
Room was okay, lacks communication
Hotel was fine for one night, host just does not respond to messages on the app regarding our late checkout request. I was a bit let down by the limited hot water usage sign in the bathroom. This was not made clear during time of booking.
Laura
Great view of Northern lights…. Please consider having other cabins’ outdoor lights turn off on a timer after a certain timeframe - we couldn’t figure out how to turn ours off. Also, the coffee pot leaks despite following instructions
eloise
Lovely site, with incredible views. Clean and nice little room. Loved it.
Hong-Sik
Super satisfied! Best place to watch aurora! We will come again and stay longer.
Greg
Nice room and shower. For a quick 1 night stay it has everything we needed.
Darragh
This is the perfect stay when visiting the diamond beach and glacier lagoon. There is an amazing langostine restaurant just 30 minutes up the road making this a convenient and affordable accommodation. The cabin was clean, comfortable, spacious and had a fully stocked kitchenette.
Danny
It was clean, comfortable, and a good location. Just what we needed for our stop over.
Ian Roderick
Please provide a better fan. It gets warm at night.
Brandon
It was great! Heated floors were a nice touch!
Heather
Clean and comfortable room with small kitchen and comfortable beds and a view of the glacier. Would stay again!
david
Remote. Have to drive for any food
Amanda
Great location! Beautiful rooms. Couldnt ask for more.
Yiping
With such hot room, we don’t think it worth the price we paid.
Rui
We had a great stay at the property. It’s conveniently located on our way to Hofn. Check in was seamless. Room is clean and bed is comfortable. There’s a small kitchen area to cook for dinner and breakfast.
Sarah
Cozy and adorable
Loved being able to see the glaciers and lupine through the window. Perfect little spot. Beds were comfortable!! Room was warm!! The sheep woke us up chatting in the morning (that’s a good thing, they are so cute!!). Little kitchenette was stocked with exactly what we needed to prepare a small meal for two. Mini fridge! Shower was great. Just have to keep showers short but that was fine.

The room came with a fan. A Fan! I can’t sleep without a fan. I was a big fan of this!
Xiaoping
Beautiful and nice place, easy to check in late evening. Have kitchen. Excellent place to stay.
David
Beautiful property, very quiet, with an incredible view
Adrianna
I really enjoyed staying here! It was perfect and a convenient location for the few hikes we had planned! We also took advantage of the kitchen area for cooking breakfast and dinner!
Verified traveler
A wonderful place to stay with great glacier views. The staff are responsive and helpful. We would highly recommend.
Kelby
This place was perfect for part of our ring road trip with easy access, comfortable, and great views! Would highly recommend.
Andrea
Cute new cabin with mini kitchen. Great views all around.
Cheryl
Cabins stay was very nice and cute. Only thing I would say is the bedding could have been cleaner. There was pieces of hair in my bed from a previous tenant.
Amber
Beautiful views, clean, bright and spacious, quiet, safe. Would absolutely stay here again!
Jamie
Loved the property! The esthetic was so cute and it was so clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
Tammy
View is amazing, the place is very nice, we loved it. It would have been nice to have a microwave but we managed. The hot water is limited so we would get wet turn the water off to soap up then rinse off again to ensure we both had hot water. I would recommend this place to people.
Yuko
Great place to stay
We stayed two nights and loved the view from our room. It was clean, quiet, and everything was just perfect for us. We cannot wait to comeback.
paul
excellent stay
Christine
The rental units looked brand new. They put a lot of nice features into each cabin. Very modern feel. We enjoyed our stay!
Sonali
Quite location near Höfn
Theodore
This property is a gem of Iceland. The property is easy to find - the conods are the structures in the area. Driving from West to East - just turn left after the glacier foot - can't miss them! :D
I received my entry code both in messages in e-mail and Expedia. The room was cozy, quiet, and serene. The kitchenette was much appreciated and included instructions for confused foreign tourists.
My only (ultra-picky) complaints came from the desire for more bathroom shelf space, a shower wash cloth, and a roll of paper towel for kitchen spills.
I look forward to staying here again and the view from the back will forever be a warm memory in my heart.

James
Cute, modern, convenient
This was a cool place. Simple, cool clean lines. The units have a black exterior to match the general Icelandic vibe / volcanic roots and culture. The kitchenette with a fridge and little hot plate type set up seems like it would be useful. If you go to Höfn for dinner, Otto Matur and Drykkur was amazing, cute, quaint. The big picture window allowed for a beautiful view of the mountains and glacier, would have been nice had the northern lights been visible too. It’s about 30 minutes to Hofn which has a good number of restaurants or 30 minutes the other direction for diamond beach. Definitely would consider staying here again.
Yara
Great place, very clean, convenient, self-check in was very easy.
Hanyong
It is clean and a great spot for catching aurora as there are many windows in the home - but we did not read the reviews beforehand and when we reached the welcome book said 5 minutes of hot water shower which isn’t great after we drove for 7 hours. The limitation of hot water is too short, my wife couldn't wash her hair during our stay there as she has long and thick hair which would definitely use up that 5 mins hot water and we would not want to shower in cold water in winter and fall sick during our holiday trip. Hope the host can extend the hot water duration so that the stay there is more enjoyable as it is definitely a nice cabin.
30mins would be easier to manage; 5mins felt like we’re in a military camp while on holiday 😭

It was a lovely, compact and amazing room with a roof window for northern light. However, the room I stayed the window wasn’t close properly due to a bent window frame.
Lauren
This room was beautiful and cozy! The heated bathroom floor was an added bonus. The team was very accommodating and polite with a special request. Definitely recommend!!!
emma
Our stay was perfect, the guesthouse was in a great location and it was very clean and quiet, with everything we could need. We got lucky during our stay and could see the northern lights out of our back window - would definitely stay here again!
chloe
Great place !
Sarah
Cozy, clean cabins with all basic amenities needed. Beds really comfy. Cabin nice and warm (stayed in December), hot water with good pressure. Self check-in was clearly explained and very simple. A WhatsApp number is given in arrival info in case of any issues. We cooked a simple meal in the cabin and enjoyed a cozy night in watching the Northern Lights through the fab picture window!
Jacqueline
This was by far my favorite stay! The location was perfect, close to great restaurants, and the place was spotless. The view from my room was amazing, and I especially loved the heated floors in the bathroom —they were such a nice touch.
I definitely recommend this place to others!

Overall is ok, 30min drive from the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and close to Höfn for grocery. A very quiet area with glacier outlets surrounding.
The cabin a little bit small if you have some luggages to open.
The cleanliness of the cooking utensil, pots and pans depend on the previous traveller occupied the cabin, given there is no dishwasher.
The water supply is limited and hot water runs from a small electric boiler. You need to wait a while after another person has taken a hot shower.
The last thing is just happened the window behind our bed could not completely shut when the lock was turned completely into lock position, the wind gust went through tiny gap causing loud noise. We had to work around by turning the lock slightly just before the release position to keep the window shut. That lock handle probably needs fixing.

A little off the beaten path, but in between Diamond Beach and Hofn. There is no reception area. Therefore, do not expect any amenities that come with that assistance or common space. Rooms are private and spacious. Bathrooms are tights though. The rooms come with a large window that gave us a fantastic view of the Northern Lights all night long. The remoteness of the hotel provides those dark skies.
Great spot overall, especially if you know what to expect when you arrive.

Alex
Our stay here was okay. We really liked the view and how big the windows were as well as the ceiling window, it made for a great way to see the stars and the northern lights. However, some things were not the most comfortable such as the pillows (provided 2 pillows but they were extremely flat), the window in our unit was not totally closed/sealed and the knob was locked so it seemed that the window had a bit of a flaw as it let a lot of cold air in and one of the days we stayed in was very windy so it made for a very cold night as we could feel the cold wind get in over our heads since the beds were above the window, have to time our showers since hot water is limited, and lastly, could smell the sceptic tank outside the unit at the parking area. Host were very responsive to our questions though and they seemed like nice people.
Timothy
Room was extremely clean and had everything that was needed. great location to explore the area. check in was easy and communication was very good
Carlos
This place was amazing, was not expecting this at all. Everything is brand new and check-in instruction was super smooth. Best of all we were able to see the northern lights at night! Would 10/10 recommend.
Michael
Would recommend
Place was great for a 1 night stay. Only downside was it’s a duplex and could hear the other occupants
Vincent
Ok
Dianne
Beautiful picture window over the bed, highlighting the glacier. Had a gorgeous view of the northern lights. Just enough space for two people, very clean, easy check in and out. Kitchen area good for a very simple meal.
Shonda
Room with a View
Simple clean room just off the road with a great picture window.
Petrus
We had a mixed experience with the cottage, mostly due to the storm outside. This caused a lot of noise inside, which kept us from a good night's sleep.
The cottage itself was good, but some of the amenities were kept to the bare minimum.
For example, there's only 5 minutes of warm water in the shower. The kitchen had only 2 glasses, 2 knives, 2 forks and so on. This could have been a bit more generous.

The view was amazing. Perfect for a stop over and simple meal prep. Size was perfect for two.
Christy
The view from our property was beautiful. Stayed one night. Be aware you are limited in your hot water use.
Valentin
I like this guesthouse but the space in the room is a little more reduced than expected or other hotel rooms.
Moriah
Easy to find, clean newer buildings. Enjoyed our stay.
Lee
Check in was very easy. Room was clean with a stocked kitchenette. Nice big widows to be able to see the mountains while laying in bed. However the shower was so small I could not wash properly. Also there was not a tv and wifi was too weak to watch anything on my phone/tablet. It was so hot that we had to sleep with the window cracked. However there is a fan in the room. Good thing or it would have been unbearable. The closest town is about 20 mins away. Overall not my favorite.
Laura
Very cute room and meets my high expectations, but neighbors keep their porch lights on ALL NIGHT which really detracts from the appeal of a secluded dark location for viewing stars and aurora.
Vicki
Easy check in and out, comfortable and clean!
