This is such a nice place to stay. I enjoyed the camping pods, they were comfortable and very nice.
Cute little cabins that were quite comfortable. Washroom, showers, hot tubs and shared kitchen very close by.

A wonderful place to spend the night
The property was very nice, I enjoyed the interactive troll themed hiking trails and spring fed hot tubs in the evening. Cabins were clean and cozy, probably the comfiest mattress I slept on durning my trip. Each cabin had a small mini fridge and the shared bathrooms were only a 30 second walk away. Restaurant on site was good as well, friendly staff and delicious food. The waterfall is overlooks was stunning. All in all this was my favorite stay of my trip, I hope to return in the future.

My second time staying at the pods. Such a beautiful setting. Friendly staff, great food - with a view of a mountain and waterfall. Shared bathroom is worth it for the price.

the bathrooms are a good 5 to 10minute walk from your stay, but these pods were so cute and memorable. we loved our stay here! the night skies were clear and we were able to see both stars and northern lights together. it's nestled into a woodsy area so it was very quiet and peaceful.

Interesting place…. Good amenities and pods are warm and comfortable. Great view from restaurant and some quirky mess that was fun to investigate. Food was ok but that’s Iceland… everyday food with high prices…. Overall would def recommend if you’d happy to be in remote place that’s pretty and enjoy hot tubs.

Excellent!
Stayed in small camping pod and loved it. Loved the atmosphere there. Overall, much greater than I expected, and I already was excited for the stay. the restaurant overlooking the waterfalls and river, the troll garden stroll, the hot tubs. All superb. It is in a remote area and provided us an excellent view of the northern lights, which we watched from the hot tub. Ideal experience, I recommend giving it a shot.

Great bargain option! Gorgeous waterfall area on the property, good breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. Very peaceful area. Stayed in the camping pod, very basic but had a comfortable bed. The mini fridge in my room only could fit maybe one can of soda and it didn't seem to work, and the shower was a communal shower and make sure you bring shower shoes it did not look like it was deep cleaned in a long time, but it if you consider you are essentially camping its really not a big deal. Spa tubs were nice as well but only open limited hours. If you are looking for a nice budget option to stay in this area stay here!

Disliked: Amenities
Pod was really fun to stay in. Car parked adjacent to your pod. Private enough despite all surrounding pods being occupied. Paid additional for supplied linen and towel - very basic and looked well used/tired. Towels were good. Shared showers involved two open showers next to each other in a small room - did not use as did not have appropriate footwear. A number of private toilets scattered around the site. Overall found the shower/bathroom underwhelming and was glad to move onto our next accommodation. Two shared kitchens were well equipped including a small microwave oven.
