This place seemed to not have staff, really. They were hard to find, and also seemed to think that we owed them money, which we did not. When I tried to "check out"in the morning and resolve the issue, the office was locked and no one was around.
It's kind of only place to stay in those parts. Very convenient but the only wifi is in reception and lobby not in pvt houses.

Not so special
Booked for three, only beds for two, had to get an extra mattress ourselves. Breakfast was only bread and eggs, very little assortment. The cottage was not pre heated, ice cold on arrival.

Didn't get a chance to stay here because they closed early and instead of cancelling the reservation for me, just sent a message asking me to cancel via hotels.com and then failed to inform hotels.com so it resulted in me having to frantically call hotels.com to try to get a refund while on my way to the airport to fly to iceland.
The hotel is clean and has a dining room. I did not eat there because I was trying to save money so I cannot comment on the food. Staff was friendly and helpful. It is in the middle of nowhere in the West fjords so if you want to try to glimpse the northern lights it is a good spot. It is also a good spot as a base camp. It makes a long day if you drive to Isafjordur and back but if you don't want to be in town it's a good spot. It also has gas pumps so you don't have to worry about running out of gas. Its about a half hour from Holmavik where there is a small grocery store. I would stay again.

Schönes sauberes Hotel. Ich hab die negativen Bewertungen gelesen, kann das aber überhaupt nicht bestätigen. Sehr netter Empfang, super sauberes Familienzimmer mit eigener Dusche, tolles Frühstück..
Tolle, gemütliche Holzhütte. Guter Standort, um Ausflüge zu unternehmen.

The door was closed when we arrived and had to call to hotel staff. She was trying to do her best for our comfortable stay and we appreciated. No breakfast but free wifi is available.

Sehr sauberes Hotel mit tollem Ausblick. Leider war das Restaurant aber zu. Direkt am Hotel ist auch eine N1-Tankstelle.

Splendido Cottage, molto ben tenuto in ottima posizione dotato di piccolo bagno con doccia, essenziale ma molto accogliente. Tutta la struttura si trova in una posizione isolata in cui regna il silenzio. Noi abbiamo avuto la fortuna di assistere alla suggestiva danza delle luci dell’Aurora Boreale, spettacolare!!
Buona la cena al ristorante della struttura con prezzi allineanti a tutto il resto dell’islanda. Ottima sosta per chi come noi decide di percorrere tutta l’Islanda.

We paid extra for kitchen utensil but the cooker is crappy. Hot water is gone while I am taking the shower. Nevertheless, they have great employees who make our stay comfortable.
Die Blockhütten sind sehr schön und gemütlich. Wir hatten eine mit Küche zu einem höheren Preis und eine ohne gebucht. Es stellte sich aber heraus, dass die billigere exakt genauso ausgestattet war wie die teure. Gefühl der Abzocke! Der Preis war ohnehin recht hoch, aber das ist man in Island ja gewohnt. Dass das Frühstück aber auch noch extra berechnet wurde, hielten wir für unangemessen. Ansonsten ist die Unterkunft als Zwischenstopp zu und von den Westfjorden aber durchaus zu empfehlen. Die Zimmer im Haupthaus haben allerdings alle kein eigenes Badezimmer. Deshalb sind die Blockhäuser trotz des Preises zu empfehlen.
