Nice cabin with great amenities nearby. The bathroom was very modern and spacious. The cabin was very clean and it was easy to access it. It is located in a quiet environment, but near Keflavik and the airport. It was nice to see horses in the field just beside it!

Highly recommend

This was a really nice place. There are 8 cabins with comfortable beds, a heater a short wooden path to some large bathrooms and really nice kitchen/common area. I took advantage of the public pool down the street for my last night in Iceland. You won't want to miss the lighthouse at sunset either. Such a great ending to an amazing vacation!

It's a really nice hotel to stay for a night or two. Very convenient location close to the airport. Don't bother to bring food to the hotel because the kitchen on the site is full of food that people leave behind:)

Was nice but could be better

Seems like the place should be groomed with a weed eater. Stuff growing over the walkways. I use CPAP and there was not a plug in at what the host made the "head of the bed". I had to move the pillow to the other end of the bed, so I could plug in my equipment for sleeping. When you normally get up in the night to go to the bathroom, having an external bathroom is not convenient. The room looked and felt new and clean and it was close to the central kitchen area. We did not eat while we were there. Arrived 8:45pm and departed 8:45am
