very good view of the school, it was great being woken up by the kids screaming while playing four square at seven in the morning, and the delighted chatter of the tourists in the hallway who seemingly couldn’t figure out how to open the door, causing lots of noise for a while. It was close to the spa, and a strange little restaurant, which made it convenient to get to once you’ve soaked in the hot water for hours. Staff was pleasant, and beds were clean.
This hotel is set on a farm within the Golden Circle Region, 15 minutes’ drive from Gulfoss Waterfall and Geysir hot water springs.

This cabin is tucked back within the trees, very private, and super cozy. The interior is warm and welcoming, with lots of finished and unfinished wooden floors and walls. Very well appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook any meal. Great location along the Golden Circle with easy access to some local hot springs, hikes, and restaurants. Comfortable beds, quiet location, highly recommend.

Convenient location along the Golden Circle driving route, very close (10 min. drive) to Gullfoss and Geyser. Comfortable room for 2 people (we rented two rooms for two parents and two kids). The hot tubs outside was a nice touch. The free breakfast was good, and the tasty restaurant across the street, where we went to dinner, was a nice find.
I loved this place. It was perfect location for different places to visit such as Geyster, Pingvilllar (National Park), etc. The accommodation was cosy and lovely. The owners were friendly, helpful and thoughtful; always informed me and my friends about the weather and issues with the hire car. We loved the scenery of the lake especially visiting the hot geothermal bath nearly every night. the last night before we returned to the city, we saw Northern Lights! that was the highlight of the short break. We would go back and stay there again. Loved it.

We chose it as a night stop between golden circle and Vik; village has thermal baths but we had already had thermal spa at blue lagoon, so we didn’t try these baths;
There are at least three places for dinner :)
The village is not worth for a longer stay or you can find a more attractive place ;)

Extremely quiet place.. not much to do. If you want a quiet place to recharge and do nothing, this is your place. We stayed 2 nights which is maybe too much for this little spot. Enjoyed onion ring burgers at Goodburger!

My guesthouse was comfortable and pleasant.
My guesthouse was comfortable and pleasant. I wished I had more time to enjoy the Fortuna. My hike at 10pm was delightful. I cannot recall ever smelling fresher air. The lupines, birches and pines were lovely. It was easy to get to all of the sites on the Golden Circle from there. Would gladly go back.
This place is exactly what you see on the pictures! It is quiet, extremely enjoyable and very addictive experience. Here are main pros:
- Hosts are very communicative and helpful.
- The view from the window was amazing!
- Cottage was very clean and well prepared. Netflix onboard, kitchen fully equipped.
- Parking place next to the cottage.
- Perfect place to feel the spirit of Iceland. Close to all Golden Circle attractions.
- Sheep are all around!
- 8km to the nearest shop in Laugarvatn
great communication from staff access to house was through a key lock box they sent the code the day before. sheets left to explain everything you needed to know..
the cottage itself was brilliant we loved the bright open plan and the great view from the big windows. lots of small touches that made it feel homely.
the shower was great and they had everything you need in the kitchen to make a meal. I would definitely stay here again next time I’m visiting Iceland.
Everything. We especially enjoyed Antoni ( front desk etc) who took the time to explain and point out interesting historical references of the building.
It is close to many natural sites , and to take a walk to a nice restaurant - Lindin, and to Fontana for soup and bread. The area is stunning. Beds were comfortable. Nice view from window. exceptionally clean.
Nice to have breakfast provided in the morning with a cute little shop to peruse. Bedrooms/bathrooms were overall comfortable and clean. Location was awesome coming from Reykjavik and spending the day at Thingvellir National Park. Cute little town with an awesome hot spring, Laugarvatn Fontana, and delicious dinner food at the hostel down the street.
The facilities and cleanliness are fantastic. The hotel is also very close to the lagoon which is super convenient. Breakfast was an amazing spread but the best thing about this hotel is the staff. Filip looked after us so well and accommodated our dietary requirements. He is super friendly and made our stay better.
This cottage is in the golden circle area, very close to Fontana thermal spa. It’s out in a field amongst horses and farmland. We enjoyed two rooms, private bath, and a kitchen. The deck with pastoral views was lovely. What’s not to love?
WiFi connection was great.
We liked the beautiful views, being near nature and close to places we wanted to visit in the Golden Circle. It was very windy some days and it was really amazing to experience the powerful Icelandic winds and see the sky clear for the stars at night!
Second time I've stayed here, won't be the last. Amazing building. Great breakfast. Quick walk over to Laugarvatn Fontana Spa. Came in late January for the quiet atmosphere. Fabulous interior design. Easy check-in. Fast wi-fi.
The location is very close to Laugarvatn Fontana Spa (3 mins walking distance).
The room is very spacious and all the amenities were available.
The mudroom to ensure the cleanliness of the apartment.
Self check-in was very swift.
Location fantastic.
Scenary was amazing, quiet andn peaceful.
High end fixtures ,very comfortable nothing lacking
We willrecomend it to friends and hope to come back again!!
Thankyou for al ovely first experience of Iceland.
On arrival the host upgraded us. Breakfast provided in the room fridge to have at our leisure. Great view of the mountain behind the hotel and next to a lovely thermal spa open into the evening. Great stay
The hotel is perfectly situated for a base camp for adventuring around the golden circle. It has been recently renovated, and had a nice bar area where we were able to hang out in the evenings.
Beautiful cottage with stunning view from the terrace. Also the surrounding area is worth it, especially Laugarvatn Fontana and Þingvellir. It would be nice to come back someday.
Best stay in Iceland- the cottage is.m clean , neat and tidy. The mattresses are really good quality( memory foam) , kitchen has everything you needed - salt /pepper/ oil/ etc
Has a mini-fridge so possible to keep some things cold. Beds were very comfortable and best near-blackout curtains we experienced excluding hotels by the airport.
You get to enjoy breakfast with dairy cows. The room is clean & the views are gorgeous. 10 minutes from laugarvatn Fontana & 20 minutes from secret lagoon.
