A gorgeous property. The black sand beach was incredible. The restaurant was first class. The breakfast was plentiful. I prefer showers with lips so that the water doesn’t flood. Very enjoyable, albeit pricey.

I had a wonderful experience here—the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. The location is absolutely beautiful, with easy access to the beach just a short stroll away. It’s also conveniently close to plenty of great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. Perfect spot for both relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend!

Amazing hotel. Views and beach walk was amazing. Easy drive to vik and beyond. Restaurant was delicious but eclectic. If you want somewhere more casual to eat you have to go into Vik. Sauna was gorgeous and staff was great, highly recommend!

Beautiful, small boutique hotel in great location off the Ring road route near Skógafoss and 30 min from Dyrhólaey and black sand beach. Staff is lovely and dinner is great. It is somewhat isolated so dining at the hotel is the easiest as it’s probably a 40 minute drive to Vik. There is a 15 min private walk on property to black sand beach with virtually no one in sight for miles - stunning. At night horses came from the nearby farm to drink from the little pond outside our window and guests were feeding them. A great, peaceful hotel.

A Very Nice Stay

Best hotel in the area in my opinion. Definitely would recommend if you're travelling through. Breakfast was nice and the evening restaurant food was very impressive. Only issue i found was the price tag on using the sauna, very expensive, hence why i didnt use it.

Not good value for money - at $600/ night and an exceptional rating I had high expectations and this was not met. Breakfast was very poor. Meals in restaurant hit or miss (gnocchi was inedible not only for me but a lady at a nearby table said she had sent it back the night before). During the day, ironing boards are out in the hallway for the linens - have never seen this before. The welcome gift of a bottle sparking wine was a miniature for 2 guests. Overall disappointing and would not be back.
