Everything worked very fine, also communication with the owners via WhatsApp absolutely perfect and reliable. We didn`t meet them but they seem to be nice guys. So basically everything is within walking distance and it`s also a quiet place as the rooms are not leading to the (especially at night anyway not very frequented) road.

breathtaking location and close to laugarvatn geothermal area. We especially like the country charm of the cottage, with coloring books and games provided for the family. They provided a baby chair for the dinner table and overall, we had a great stay.

A little heaven on earth. The cottage is very cosy and confortable. The little river just outside in the garden make the surroundings so peaceful. It is the perfect place to watch the northern lights.

Self check-in was a very comfortable option. The room was spacious, breakfast was varied and the hot tubs, although not in a very secluded location, were nice. Best location if you want to explore the Golden Circle.

All. Rooms were basic but comfortable. Location in the middle of nowhere, but 15 min driving from Selfoss. Amazing breakfast. Common areas ( lobby and hot pot at sunset time was fantastic). I would go back again for sure!

Nice surroundings. Very calm and comfortable beds. Smooth check in.
I loved this place. It was perfect location for different places to visit such as Geyster, Pingvilllar (National Park), etc. The accommodation was cosy and lovely. The owners were friendly, helpful and thoughtful; always informed me and my friends about the weather and issues with the hire car. We loved the scenery of the lake especially visiting the hot geothermal bath nearly every night. the last night before we returned to the city, we saw Northern Lights! that was the highlight of the short break. We would go back and stay there again. Loved it.

We chose it as a night stop between golden circle and Vik; village has thermal baths but we had already had thermal spa at blue lagoon, so we didn’t try these baths;
There are at least three places for dinner :)
The village is not worth for a longer stay or you can find a more attractive place ;)

Extremely quiet place.. not much to do.
Extremely quiet place.. not much to do. If you want a quiet place to recharge and do nothing, this is your place. We stayed 2 nights which is maybe too much for this little spot. Enjoyed onion ring burgers at Goodburger!

My guesthouse was comfortable and pleasant.
My guesthouse was comfortable and pleasant. I wished I had more time to enjoy the Fortuna. My hike at 10pm was delightful. I cannot recall ever smelling fresher air. The lupines, birches and pines were lovely. It was easy to get to all of the sites on the Golden Circle from there. Would gladly go back.
This place is exactly what you see on the pictures! It is quiet, extremely enjoyable and very addictive experience. Here are main pros:
- Hosts are very communicative and helpful.
- The view from the window was amazing!
- Cottage was very clean and well prepared. Netflix onboard, kitchen fully equipped.
- Parking place next to the cottage.
- Perfect place to feel the spirit of Iceland. Close to all Golden Circle attractions.
- Sheep are all around!
- 8km to the nearest shop in Laugarvatn
Nice to have breakfast provided in the morning with a cute little shop to peruse. Bedrooms/bathrooms were overall comfortable and clean. Location was awesome coming from Reykjavik and spending the day at Thingvellir National Park. Cute little town with an awesome hot spring, Laugarvatn Fontana, and delicious dinner food at the hostel down the street.
This cottage is in the golden circle area, very close to Fontana thermal spa. It’s out in a field amongst horses and farmland. We enjoyed two rooms, private bath, and a kitchen. The deck with pastoral views was lovely. What’s not to love?
WiFi connection was great.
The location is close to Fontana spa and really close to Laugarvatn lake - beatiful location. Grocery store is 130m away, and so is the lake.
Room and bathroom are both very spacious, self-checkin is very convenient, there is even a small fridge in the room.
The farmhotel was extremely cozy providing authentic Icelandic experience. The food at both dinner and breakfast was extremely delicious especially the homemade ice cream. The restaurant looks over the farm with their cows. It’s truly amazing experience.
We liked the beautiful views, being near nature and close to places we wanted to visit in the Golden Circle. It was very windy some days and it was really amazing to experience the powerful Icelandic winds and see the sky clear for the stars at night!
great location with easy access to many sites, clean and well-equipped hotel, good breakfast at an affordable rate, easy procedures and friendly staff. Wifi was also very good and there is a supermarket, gas station and restaurant nearby.
The location is very close to Laugarvatn Fontana Spa (3 mins walking distance).
The room is very spacious and all the amenities were available.
The mudroom to ensure the cleanliness of the apartment.
Self check-in was very swift.

I Loved the Hotel which was once a Boarding school. Walking around in socks in this old, giant building was super comfy. One of the two Webcams documenting the northern Lights in Iceland is also located at the nearby Lake.
We enjoyed our country retreat among the sheep and birds. Our cottage was clean and cozy. It had everything we needed and the quietude of Laugarvatn provided a nice contrast to Reykjavik (although we enjoyed them both).
It was conveniently located close to Laugarvatn Fontana and the Golden Circle sights. It was very clean and the gentleman at the front desk was very helpful. The rooms were simple but comfortable.
Beautiful cottage with stunning view from the terrace. Also the surrounding area is worth it, especially Laugarvatn Fontana and Þingvellir. It would be nice to come back someday.
Has a mini-fridge so possible to keep some things cold. Beds were very comfortable and best near-blackout curtains we experienced excluding hotels by the airport.
lovely greetings by Me Hannah with great hospitality and fantastic Icelandic breakfast spread n most fabulous to see northern lights at Galleri Langarvstn
