9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,375 reviews)

Hotel staff are great. The place is clean and decor is nice. I’ve given it 4 stars because I felt the breakfast was good but a little basic with not enough hot vegetarian options, and the location was a bit farther out so, longer walks, longer bus journeys or more taxis. Taxis are not cheap. It was expensive at the bar and cafe…but I don’t think it would be any different elsewhere in the city. Not sure I’d go back to this hotel, but I would check out one of their other hotels in the city.

8/10 Very Good! (4 reviews)

This dome was perfect! Very clean which is the most important to me. It had all the essentials, extra blankets and the beds were comfortable. The host was super responsive and sent delivered more wood for us quickly. The town of Selfoss is 5-6 kilometers and has nice dining options. My family enjoyed our stay very much and will be coming back!
