This property should not be listed on Expedia.The listing does not make it clear that the accommodation is essentially a trailer/mobile home, which was very disappointing. The service was completely nonexistent, there was no staff available to help with anything, and they didn't even provide toilet paper in the bathroom.
By far this was the worst place I have ever stayed. I would not recommend it to anyone.

We showed up and there were phone numbers posted. We called all of them multiple times and did not get an answer. There was a third number on the message they sent us and they did not answer that either. There was no one at any time to check or contact. We got the key out of the coded box but the lock and door were so poorly put together we could barely get in after 10 minutes of trying. We also could not get out with out considerable effort. The shower was horrible as it barely flowed at all. It is poorly constructed and the entire floor gets flooded when you shower. It is very rural location with minimal staffing. But I have used all different kinds of accommodations through Expedia for decades and this is the first complaint I have submitted. We are very easy going people but we count on Expedia to give us a minimal level of quality and it was not even close to being met at this location. I have documentation of the calls we made, 5 in total as well as pictures of the shoddy lock and horrible shower. We never received a call back. It felt like a shed with a bed with a vendor who could care less.

Check-in was horrendous. The code didn’t arrive in time. Never answered phone. When answered once, the staff was rude. Got the key through a maintenance staff who happened to come by. The room was tiny and filthy. Torn curtain, smell, tiny bathroom made us uncomfortable. Common room is nice, but does make up for the other problems. But the TV didn’t work. To top it off, morning of July 20, there was not any water supply. Toilets couldn’t be flushed, couldn’t take showers. We left feeling miserable. Seriously, don’t stay here. My money should be refunded.

We stayed for one night during our Ring road trip. It was a convenient location and we had a good night sleep in the guesthouse. The only downside is the showers are extremely small and difficult for an adult to fit into. But the beds were comfortable and the common room upstairs was well equipped, so no major complaints for the price.

This was one of the more expensive places we stayed in Iceland. They first sent an email (with the wrong phone number to contact). We weren't concerned because they said they had a \"free\" phone to contact the manager to get into our room. There was no phone. The room was really small (2 beds/ small space between them). The shared area was nice (kitchen, seating). There was a TV, but it didn't work. A family from the\"$500\" rooms came and used our kitchen because there wasn't enough cooking equipment to use in their cabin. The coolest thing about the area was the \"free\" pool down the road that you have to walk along the creek bed to find. Heated pool and fun experience. This place was clean and had a place to lay your head. Not sure it was worth $250.

I did then find the room entry code in a message in hotels.com app. Room was clean and updated barebone. $215 a night. I guess this is Iceland.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

We arrived to find an empty building. No big deal - I had my check-in code in my expedia messages.

However, things got bad very quickly.
We opened the room to find the following:
- the triple room (3 beds) we booked was in fact a tiny room with TWO beds.
- the room had NOT BEEN CLEANED after the previous guests
- the blankets were bunched up on the bed and floor, the garbage cans were full and the bathroom had dirty, wet towels on the floor. The room STUNK like sweaty people.
- there was no way we were going to stay in this room.
- the property operators were UNREACHABLE

We had to scramble to find alternative last-minute accommodations, which took us 50 km in the wrong direction and cost a fortune. Super stressful experience at the end of a long travel day in a foreign country.

Currently working with Expedia's customer service to get this booking refunded.

Expedia - you need to remove this property from your offerings, pronto!

DO NOT STAY HERE. This was one of the worst places I've ever stayed at. The room was smaller than a dorm room, the bathroom smelled moldy - the entire room smelled moldy and musty, so much so that we ended up with a headache the following morning from breathing in the mold. When we called them to ask them about the broken TV and the smell, they refused to take our calls after the first call. We tried calling multiple times, left a message on hotels.com messaging app and no response. I was also very disappointed with hotels.com when we reached out complaining about the mold and it's effects on our health (especially my child's health)...they said they'd email us and that never happened. We told them that we couldn't reach the people at this place and still nothing was done about it. We lost a ton of money over this, and had to book a different hotel at the last minute to save ourselves from getting sick. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Checking in was a nightmare. They tell you to call a number but no one answers. So many guests were waiting in the parking lot, while we were there. We waited for an hour to get in. Once in, the room smelled musty. The radiator wasn't hooked up or capped. We turned it on by accident and water poured out onto the electric radiator right next to it. Then the hair dryed was on the floor behind the toilet. Besides being gross, another fire hazard.

Awesome views of the glacier. An easy 30 minute drive to Vik. There are a couple of cafes nearby but we didn’t investigate those, just saw the signs. The reason I said the staff is terrible is that there aren’t any. You have to call ahead for the room number and lockbox code.

Stayed for 2 nights end of August. Building interior seemed recently updated, bright lights. The common room in attic was clean with a kitchen that has refrigerator, microwave, sink, stove, cooking ware & utensils. We had to cook simple meals since there is no restaurant nearby. Ample sitting space. There’s TV, an arcade game & chess game. The stairs going up was very steep though so hold onto the railing:-)
But door to the room keeps getting stuck, doesn’t seem to lineup properly with door frame. Room was a bit small for 3 people (1 full bed & 1 twin bed). Not much space for luggage, so we left most of stuff in the car which we parked right in front the building. The plug-in electric heater in the room kept us warm through the night even with the howling wind. The showerhead holder was broken, had to hold it, but still nice to have a hot shower after a full day of adventures.
Was surprised that staff actually came to fix the bed & change towels while we were out.
Overall, the guesthouse served our purpose.
By the way, the thermal bath is quite a hike, about a mile up with no signs along the trail.

This was by far the worst check in experience ever. You are prompted to ring a phone number upon arrival to receive your room number and code. Originally we were told we would receive an email 24 hours before - that never happened.
We tried ringing the number 15 times over a few hours, never got a response. The worst part is when we arrived at least 4 other couples had the same issue.

Walk inside to get landline, door was unlocked. IF you can check in, all is well. Attempted to stay at starlight camping pods owned by same property 2 days later and that did not go well. Location is lovely, close to Seljavallalaug swimming pool. Cute brindled cows next door. However, little to no cell phone service in this area. On 17th landline worked; successfully got code for rooms at guesthouse. By message, codes were not sent til the 18th aka the day of check-out, so that didn’t help. That was unhelpful but innocuous at first. Then they sent that picture to expedia as \"proof\" of check-in codes at Starlight Camping Pods for the 19th… which were never sent nor did the landline work nor did the phone get answered when we finally gave up and drove out until an area of cell service coverage. thank god we found another place to stay (drove all the way to the city) instead of trying and waiting all night because they were never sent. no refund. Because non refundable, I would understand if WE had canceled. But I asked for money back because we were literally unable to check in and they literally left us in the cold. They said no. all in all I think it would have been lovely if you are able to check in. But I can’t say that is reliable.

Going into the \"lobby\", if you want to call it that, the sign now noted two numbers to call, neither of which were answered after trying, again, countless times. Fortunately for my wife and I an obvious employee probably leaving for the day, came to my rescue and got us into our room. An hour and a half of valuable Icelandic daylight wasted. The building itself was a simple barn like structure with two floors. I say barn like because it appeared to me that that was what it was in an earlier life before conversion into a guesthouse. Our room was absolutely tiny. I have seen horse stalls larger than this. As for amenities, there were none, not even a cup in the WC to drink from.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY TO ANYONE - NOT EVEN MY WORST ENEMY.

The surrounding area is great. Room is very small and the bathroom smelled liked mold. My biggest problem with the place was the other guests. Everyone was not considerate of other guests. Talking loudly, slamming doors all through out the night and early morning

No-frills rooms

This is a no-frills guesthouse that’s fine if you just need a bed to sleep in for the night. Our room had a bed, heater and bathroom, that’s it! They had Wi-Fi but nothing else. Property is nice if you want to do some walking.

Simple guesthouse. Not much in the way of amenities. No soundproofing can be very loud if children are present.

I am so surprised that this property can be rated at 3! We booked a three beds room, so small! No table, no chairs in the room, only a painted tree stump using as a very small table——don’t think it in a artistic way. The room is under the floor of the public kitchen, so every movement upstairs you can hear!

Not recommended at all. Fire alarm started beeping in the middle of the night waking everybody up, water and electricity got disconected. Owner didn't attend our phonecalls and messages, so we were left alone and luckly we got to stop the alarm but with the risk of beeing dangerous to be in the building and expending the rest of the night. Still waiting for an appology and explanation.

Don't stay here

The only thing good about this place was the location, everything else was pretty terrible. The check in process was okay since we planned to be there during given hours. However, of the 2 rooms we booked, 1 of them smelled so bad it was hard to even stand in there. It smelled of mold and mildew. We chose to spend no time in there other than to sleep. It was too cramped to do much else anyways, barely enough room to open two suitcases. The other two people in our traveling party refused to enter our room because of the smell. When we called to get the room switched after noticing the smell, no one answered the phone. There is no one on site so phone call or email was the only option. Because it was after check in time we got no response so had to spend the night in that room. We called back in the morning and they assigned us another room and gave us the wrong room code so we couldn't get in there when we got back. Spent another night in the terrible smelling room for this reason. When we called back again the next day they essentially told us the code should have worked and then hung up. We decided there was no point arguing and left at check out time. The showers were so small you could barely move. There was no division between the shower and the rest of the tiny bathroom so everything was wet and smelly. I would stay literally anywhere else. The water didn't taste drinkable and also smelled like mildew so we went to a nearby waterfall to fill up.

Beautiful property, Lovely room. The room I stayed in does get a little too much traffic to expect a quiet rest, as the stairs to get to breakfast were above my head, and the front door that slammed upon entry or exit was right by the room as well.

Nice to be sleeping at the foot of the very famous E15 volcano and in a deserted area. Very basic room with a basic bathroom, but that is all we needed for one night on the way to Vik and further East.
Easy communication to get in the room.

Small Space for Three People

The guesthouse was small and had an upstairs shared kitchen. The upstairs was nice to have but we had three adults staying in the room and it was not enough space. There were about 6-8 inches in between the wall and bed when they were all pushed right next together. The location was good.

Great stop over place to crash for a clean bed, shower, phone recharge, wifi, and the basics for a reasonable price while driving through this vast area of natural wonders!
