"We were not able to stay at the Hotel Gigur, since Americans are not allowed to travel to Iceland and our airline cancelled our trip. I know they have a no-refund policy, but I would have thought there might be some forgiveness given the situation with the pandemic. Despite several tries, I was unsuccessful in getting a refund. "

"Cozy friendly hotel with amazing full breakfast and kind staff. Only downside was far from city centre but trolls tours picked us up at the hotel for every tour. Highly recommend for families and those who are looking for a more cozy, thoughtful stay."

"Excellent property for the area in Iceland to explore and stop-off in. Wonderful and friendly hosts and tasty dinner options after a long day exploring the area."

"We loved the cow shed and farm that is part of the resort. The cabins are so cosy and really big hot tub (they were renovating when we stayed so it might become even nicer!). Staff was so friendly, and great location to watch northern lights at the lake."

My husband, daughter (20), and I stayed at The Garage for 2 nights (April 30-May 2). This is one of my favorite places we have ever stayed! If you plan to stay overnight in south Iceland do not miss this gem. The location is close to all the sights and activities, but the Garage is so comfortable and charming you might not want to leave the property! Cool decor and design, large and comfortable room, great amenities, and a wonderful family that owns/operates the Garage makes this a unique spot....

We loved our stay at Magma. It's a beautiful property with lovely rooms and restaurant. Breakfast was fairly standard but the beautiful dining room made it even better. The location is great for a south coast road trip. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying here. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Our room had a great Mountain View. It’s one of the cutest hotels we’ve stayed in.
I wish there was a drop box for keys, we left early in the morning but the lobby was locked so we couldn’t check out. We left our key in the room and called the hotel at 7 am to let them know. We had already prepaid so it wasn’t a big deal.
Highly recommend this cute little getaway hotel.

My wife and I just finished up a November vacation in Iceland. We plan to do another vacation to Iceland again in summertime so we can drive the Ring Road route. When we come back, we're already looking forward to staying at this hotel again -- the staff mostly consists of the owners, and they take pride in seeing that their services and quality are of a high standard, while yet at very reasonable prices. Everyone is most attentive, the rooms are very clean and have a quirky decorative charm,...

I traveled with my husband and 1 year old. This was a very clean place with a lot of space. We loved being able to do some grocery shopping to eat at our place at the end of the day.
Great base - we explored Reykjavik, Snaefellsness peninsula from here. Wish I would have stayed here my first night as a base to explore the Golden Circle as well.

Absolutely adorable accommodations. Very efficient use of space and you're right on the lake. There's a grocery store about 7 minutes away if you need anything as well as a wine/beer store. Checkin was easy and everyone we interacted with from the staff was very kind and helpful. Awesome views and peaceful place to rest

We stayed in one of the cabins bc it could accommodate our family of five. It was very helpful to have a kitchen (made breakfast in the morning) and the set up of the cabin was convenient for our family. Staff was very friendly and helpful, too!

Absolutely great customer service. We arrived passed midnight our transportation provided by hotel was there. The person at the front desk was very informative and helpful. She went over and beyond to assist us as we had issues with an excursion we booked to blue lagoon through another site. Great all around.
