"Got in late after a drive from east Iceland. Staff didn’t spend a lot of time with us or say much. Got to our room and it was clean. Weather was awful but we took a walk. Nice scenery and beautiful location. Breakfast was nice and we left early for nearby adventure. Got a random $7 charge with no explanation the next day. Not a ton of options in area, but overall decent stay. View was amazing."

Glacier Front Row View- NEW Northern lights cottage.- NO 6.

8/10 Good
"Beautiful, spacious cottage with stunning views of Snæfellsjökull. Well equipped and an excellent base for exploring the peninsula. Unit 6 has three bedrooms and is a duplex. The complex has about a dozen cottages of different sizes. During our stay it was quiet and peaceful. Prospective guests should note that this is a “true” self-cleaning rental, meaning guests do all laundry and the cleaning. There was no housekeeping inspection between guests. The Wi-Fi was very slow (3G and the house rules ask guests not to stream), and the hot water pressure was low. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much."
