Beautiful hotel and surroundings

Elegant hotel. Excellent service and quiet atmosphere. Loved the breakfast and the short walk you can take near the lake.

Food options were good! We enjoyed pizza at a local restaurant - can't remember the name. The hotel had a spa, which we did use and it was very relaxing. The staff were very informative. Our hotel was spacious and perfect for what we needed.

Nice hotel, poor response to problems.

It's a nice hotel in a great location, but a bit long in the tooth. Food at restaurant was great, service at restaurant was pretty bad. Breakfast was good. Hotel staff were helpful in a few areas and once engaged with, were nice. We picked this hotel because it has a washer and dryer available, and we planned to do laundry on this day of our trip. Upon arrival we enquired so we could start laundry and were told the washer was broken but we could use the dryer. While equipment fails, this has apparently been the case for several days now. More importantly, the best the hotel staff could offer was that we could go to the nearby campground and wash clothes there. That's a long time to be stuck at a campground rather than dealing with it in the hotel as planned. We made it work, but it was a major inconvenience and it significantly impacted our ability to enjoy time in the hotel. The hotel staff could have offered to take care of the laundry for us - which is what I would expect from a well run facility. The hotel could of notified us that the listing was no longer correct so that we could make other arrangements at least. Neither of those things happened, so I have to discourage staying at this hotel, as it seems like they could have done multiple things to deal with this and chose not to.

This was a really special stay. The room was comfortable, clean and airy. We had lovely views of the mountain side. The staff were very welcoming and the meals were delicious. We had breakfast each day in the restaurant and there was plenty of choice of both hot and cold breakfasts. We had dinner on the first night and I had the kamb. It was the best lamb I have ever tasted. I would recommend having at least one dinner at the hotel. The staff were always welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

2 min drive to bonus supermarket and gas station. Room is clean. Breakfast is included which is really convenient. The only minus point is the shower temperature is constantly swaying between hot and cold.

The hotel website neglects to tell you that they are located right next to a cow farm. The smell is putrid when your hotel room windows are open because there is no a/c in the hotel. The staff says the whole town smells which it does. The spa is excellent, the view of the lake is obstructed by the trees.

Family vacation traveling with 2 adult children. Excellent location. The only negnative issue was the bathroom sink and shower water had a strong sulfur oder. This was the only time we experienced this. Right on the lake.

We were promised through expedia 2 free spa access. We were told upon arrival that there was no way that we would get a free spa for two. That the spa would cost 2000isk vs the normal 4000 isk. Basically, we were treated like vagrants as soon as we arrived. We made reservations for dinner. We were seated at the first table as you enter restaurant. Shortly after arriving at dinner a table of 5 or 6 with kids arrived. The parents let them run around the restaurant. Our server/host Rapheal was the only saving grace. He knew we needed to move to a differrent table. Anyone would! The behavior of the aforementioned kids continued and we were not the only ones annoyed. I would say Raphael was the only reason we actually stayed at the hotel. We showed Raphael our booking which included 2 free spa. He made sure the issue would be addressed and apologized for the front desk check in ladies attitude. Bed was comfortable, property was quaint and pretty. Staffing needs to be improved and less pretentious before I would recommend anyone staying at this location.

Best thing about this hotel is the aurora calling service, was able to view the aurora while our stay, love the view since it’s a lake at the back of the hotel and make it easier to take aurora photos there. Towels not so clean and housekeeping did not check the shower gel bottles as it was empty when we checked in. Staffs are helpful to give us extra bottle of shower gel to use, overall still recommend for this hotel.
