We loved the view from out room, and the hot tubs.

Great hot tubs and very peaceful, even though it's rather large (for Iceland standards). We arrived just after 9pm on the first night, not having eaten dinner, and the chef was kind to prepare us a meal after hours. Very generous of him!

One of the most beautiful views in our hotel stays. The restaurant offers great (if pricey) food, and we treated ourselves to one of the nicest meals of the trip

This was the least nice hotel we stayed in during our trip. Breakfast was prepackaged, which was different from all the wonderful buffets we experienced at other locations. Having said that, the owner was very nice, and made reservations for us at the local restaurant, which was by the Seal Centre (great place!) and offered great food and views. Even though this was a much more modest guesthouse, it was clean and friendly, and a perfect stop along the route. We enjoyed our stay.

This was a last minute change, since we wanted to go to these hot tubs and we thought it would make sense to stay here and not in Hofn. It was a great idea! the view from the breakfast deck was incredible, the hot tubs were fantastic, and the staff was very kind. A bit out of the beaten path, but that was the theme we were going for

We stayed here on nights 1 and 10. The girl at the front desk recognized us when we returned and gave us a happy "you're back!". Breakfast buffet was great and the place is clean, simple but tasteful, and close to everything without being noisy

Great views from our room, a few minutes outside of Vik, sufficient to feel very peaceful and remote. Excellent breakfast buffet. Great hot tubs

Our guide was Davis. He was knowledgeable and personable and we certainly enjoyed the trip.

Having read many reviews about the Blue Lagoon, we were fearing that it would be too touristy. But arriving at 8:00 am on a week day, you almost have the whole place for yourself. We had a wonderful time!

The absolute best tour in my daughter's eyes! We learned about the Icelandic horse, their unique gallop, we got great horseback riding tips. Overall a wonderful time.

Interesting trip! we had a bit of fog that day, but managed to see the glaciers, and taste 1000 year old ice. Even vintage water in Iceland tastes good ;-)

We went to the Lava Show on our last evening, and despite being tired, my daughter loved the experience. She is a bit of a rocks aficionada so she was in her element. Now I know the difference between the lava rocks and lava glass from iceland, and obsidian!

We saw humpback whales, and lots of puffins!

Spacious room with fridge and big bathroom. Great breakfasts and tasty dinner options. Close to glaciers and Diamond Beach.

Guide was local and humorous.

Beautiful and great experience. More touristy than other locations. Glad we had a couple of different types of experiences to compare.

Overcast day with some rain, rustic feel but all the luxury in the spa. Many different pool areas and able to do a cold plunge in the lake should you feel so inclined lol

Great location, comfortable enough accommodations with kitchen conveniences. Parking was tricky - be prepared especially if you're arriving late and plan ahead for the nearest garage as you cannot count on street parking.

My favorite hotel on our trip - plenty of kitchen space (we cooked an entire dinner!) along with outdoor grill. Spacious bedrooms and plenty of room to stretch out in the living area as well as sit comfortably at the dinner table. Hot tub was a wonderful added bonus. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

There is an upper and lower level, we were on the lower level which felt like walking into a basement with windows right at street level. The toilet ran the entire time we were there which was quite noisy. The kitchen area is a bit cramped, we ate out but our family of 4 could not have sat comfortably around the table. The living room and bedrooms were very spacious however. Street parking was no problem and it was an easy drive to the airport.

Definitely not worth the ~10 minutes off the main road to get to. We felt like we wasted an entire hour of driving and gas back and forth over 2 nights. There were permanent lights on around the perimeter of the building making it very bright at night, so didn't even have the benefit of darkness for Northern Light hunting. Paper thin walls and very small bathroom - no way for more than 1 person to be in at a time.

Incredible experience - Thor was great!

Definitely a must - especially if traveling with kids. Highlight of the entire week for both my 8 and 12 year old sons.

Fun experience to see how the bread bakes underground. The guide allowed my sons to both help bury the next loaf, and they enjoyed that interactive portion. The view on the lake is beautiful. Plenty of portions of both the bread and fish.

We did not see the lights, which we understood going into it but was still disappointing. Our guide (could not pronounce his Icelandic name but translates to reindeer so he said call him "Buck") tried many different locations including turning around at one point when a tip came to head in a different direction. He was very knowledgeable in teaching about the methods behind the "hunt". He was able to capture faint lights above us on a photo, which made it not feel like a total loss. The Jeep-side hot chocolate and cookies were a nice touch.
