Great experience here, only recommendation is to have the spots labeled, someone parked in the spot for our cabin and we had to park by the front and walk all the way over there.

The kitchen was in the other building they have all the utensil you needed. They have 6 showers and bathroom. What i love the most the place was super clean. Pods is warm enough for the cold weather. Staff are very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends. 10/10
Perfect stay, beautiful environment, washroom and common area very clean and efficient. Only thing I messaged them the day before the stay because they didn’t send the code for my pod I booked, but they did respond the day off the stay which was a little nerve racking seeing all the reviews about this. But over ball it was beautiful, good location near the main waterfall; skogafoss

Wasn’t expecting much based on previous reviews, and was very glad I was surprised. This turned out to be an amazing stay. Only complaint was that the kitchen area was rather overcrowded which isn’t really anything drastic.

It was a very pleasant surprise. Its reviews were so negative that we tried to cancel. But it was a great place to stay. Although it is close to Route 1, it is remote. If you wish to eat bring you food. We return to the area, we would stay again.

Great rustic stay!
It was great. What a beautiful setting. Not having a washroom in our pod was the only drawback, but we coped.
I have no idea how to pay for this room (or if I already did). I’m sure someone will be in contact.

I arrived late and my pod had been given to someone else. No problem - a very helpful young man came by and set me up in a different pod. The place is in a spectacular location and the pods are super-comfortable, cozy, and warm. I would stay there again in an instant.

Great location, great cabin and great common area.
Shame the communication was poor. Tried to contact the property multiple times as they did not send any access instructions, but it took at least 19 phone calls to get hold of someone.
Heating in the pod was not working. Tried and contact multiple times the property with no luck, still within check in hours.
Freezing night in the end!
Not impressed with the communication and the ethos. Shame because it's a stunning location and facility! If only people cared...

You need to walk outside to reach the facilities, which was inconvenient. In addition, I spent over two hours trying to contact the property because I never received the code to enter my room.

The cabins had mixed reviews when I booked. We showed up & everything was great to start. The Cabin was cozy & warm with a heater. You have to walk about 100 feet to the bathrooms & kitchen area. This night was VERY windy & the cabin was not really insulated or warm besides the small space heater. I Imagine that during the warmer months it would be nice without wind. The cabin was absolutely freezing & the wind was howling the entire night. There was like banging & the bed was shaking at the wind. It almost felt that the cabin would blow away. So maybe good for the summer months with no environmental issues happening? The bathrooms & kitchen were warm & clean.

I never received the checkin details despite of several calls and email to the property as well to the Expedia. I had to book another hotel at an emergency level at the last moment. Please DO NOT recommend this property to any Expedia customer here after. They are absolutely not reliable.

This place should be removed from this site.
We booked this place 1 month prior to our trip and they said they will email the check in details as it is a self check in. We received 6 digits code 1 day before but the lock were only 4 digits and the cabin number is not given as well. We couldn’t hold to anyone to assist us in the place, the number posted is not working, they’re not even replying to our messages.
Thank God we manage to find a new accommodation that night and Expedia refund us the new booking. Otherwise we’ll sleep in our car like homeless!! This almost ruined our trip.

We didn’t even get to sleep in the cabins because checking in was the worst experience ever. They gave us little to no information and no one answered our calls when we tried asking. The keys should have been ready for us but they didn’t even leave them in the lockbox. Probably the worst experience we had in Iceland as a whole.

There were unresolvable issues at check in and we spent 2 hours on the phone with Expedia and they has to find us accommodations elsewhere. Apparently we were supposed to receive a pod number and lockbox code from the property by email, but we didn’t it receive that and then no one at the property or by phone available to help. It was set up as all self check in. The place looked pretty good but we were really stuck that night in Iceland. Just make sure you have the codes well in advance and all will be well
