Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice little cottages on a well spread out area as well as close to the river from where you can go rafting. As they have camp & also RV parking areas, a separate building with open kitchen where you can cook and also dine available with adequate crockery & cutlery. Good breakfast

We stayed in a cabin for multiple nights. Great location to see a lot of Northern Iceland. The cabin was comfortable and the food amazing. Highly recommend staying there. We also went river rafting and the team was exceptional.

“Captain Jahks Sparrow” was an amazing guide. He made us feel very comfortable and safe, even though we were a little scared sometimes (some of us were very scared…). Great experience!!! We loved relaxing in the hot tub after, drinking a beer and warming up! Thanks Jahks!!!

It’s nice enough but seems like more of a place to stay and enjoy the water activities offered at the property. It doesn’t really seem like a typical place to stay while driving the ring road. Breakfast was not included so we paid extra and it was pretty meager.

This is a really nice guesthouse with cabins (with own bathroom) and rooms in the main building with shared bathroom. This is fine, because you do have a sink in the room and there is always the option of showering near the swimming pool, so no queue there :-) Food was fine, staff friendly, so I recommend staying here.

The rooms are clean and the food was amazing at the hotel. We had a great time going river rafting. In the middle of the rapid we stopped to have hot chocolate from a fresh water hot spring. Amazing day.

We only stayed one night here - but I think during the summer months, it can be crazy busy here. There are rooms in the main building (reception, restaurant, rooms), a camping area, a rv hook-up, and different sized individual chalets. We were in a small chalet (the ones way across the parking area from us looked like it could accommodate a much larger number of people, ie full kitchen). Only a handful of people so it was quiet - we really liked it! Very comfortable and very spacious, large bathroom, lots of hot water, no tv (perfect!), limited WiFi (in the main building). Breakfast was the standard Icelandic fare. We think because it was the end of the season, there was only a small staff on hand. Reception was an older person (think elderly aunt, grandma), not fluent in English but knew what we needed when we checked in. Complimentary Wifi – check (in the main building) Complimentary parking - check

We were doing the whole road trip on Iceland and this was our first stop, so we stayed just for 1 night. A great place to stop. The staff is friendly and the place is very cozy. My room was really comfortable and had a nice view. The breakfast was also nice.
