4/10 Fair

Underwhelming

If it wasnt for the location i wouldnt bother staying here. It was just an average stay with a huge price tag. The rooms are not the nicest and the bed was very uncomfortable.

Not as described

No as advertised on hotels.com Was supposed to be totally rural but huge power station in front of hotel. Ruined our experience in what was a very overpriced hotel.

Great place!

Great place. I loved the shared space with the honesty store. The hotel was clean with a good breakfast spread. There are no nearby stores or restaurants as the closest town is empty due to last year's volcano eruption. The restaurant was delicious with choices of meat, chicken or fish. A great bar! A shout out to the waiter. He was very helpful and friendly. 4 minutes drive to the Blue Lagoon

Amazing night!

Even though it was too cloudy to see the northern lights, the hotel was wonderful! Cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. It is also super close to the Blue Lagoon.

8/10 Very good

The one thing that came up was that the inn tells you they'll wake you if the lights are visible. If there's no staff during the night, who is waking you up if the lights are showing. The last night of the stay, the lights were visible some places. Had they been visible that night before 3am, who was there to let people know?
