Nice property in the middle of nowhere😃

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful area, loved our room with nice bath soaps and products. The common area was convenient as well, and the beds were supper comfy, out into had a porch with lovely views as well. Check in was a little confusing but it is a new facility so be aware of that and they are still building it and creating their process, will stay again!

The cabin we were in was actually 5km away from the main check-in building but the employee was super helpful and gave us the exact location for it on Google maps. The accommodations were clean and comfy with a nice seating area, tv, balcony, and good quality products in the shower. We had a lovely view of the river. The kitchen is less than 100ft away and very spacious for dining.

6/10 Good

We stayed in a nice new wing of the property. We didn’t see any staff at all, key was left in the door for us and we were instructed to leave it in the door when departing. There is no restaurant or cafe on site, 35 minutes one way to closest place. Luckily we had supplies from the grocery store with us and made do after a long day on the road. Facilities were clean and it is a very quiet location to say the least.

Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We had dinner on the first night and the food was excellent. My wife does not eat meat and they made a fish dish and had plenty of veggie options.

Plenty of easy parking in front of the hotel. Not as close to the lake as we thought and shame it was extra to use the sauna and hot tubs. Room was clean, bathroom was modern and slept great with black out curtains.

10/10 Exceptional

The check-in process was confusing. Check-in was supposed to begin at 3 but the person reception seemed surprised that we wanted to check in that early. After that all was good.
deborah, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property was clean. However, room was too small, especially bathroom. One of our rooms had heating problems. Kitchen/dining area was OK, but far from room.
Deborshi, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room was extremely small, not even any room to put your suitcase. The walls were very thin, I could hear the people using the restroom in the next room.

Really the only bad thing getting there. Several klm of bad gravel road takes you to check in. That’s not where the lodging is. After check in you drive another 8 klm on right gravel to the rooms. We have a small car. The sleeping room was great facing north fir the Northern Lights. Room next to us had outside lights on all night. Community kitchen is great.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The actual room was 10 km away from the office from bumpy dirt road
Ravi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms are not located where the main facility is. In fact, when we arrived at the reception they told us that the rooms were 6km far away from the reception (on a terrible dirt road!!). They should have told us before also because there were people coming from that way and they had to make 6km two times.

To the point ... we traveled the ring road around Iceland, wonderful! 7 different "hotels", all good. Stay has all the basic needs. It is kind of in the middle of "out there" ... but that's a plus because it's on the east road, 864 to Dettifoss. It's about half way there. It may be the closest "hotel" to Dettifoss. For us, that meant we are just about the last ones there in the day, 11 plus or minus. The road is ... ruff, be prepared. That said, I recommend seeing both sides of Dettifoss! Note: the 862 road on the West side is much better, but seeing both sides is worth the journey!

Book for triple room but being ask if want to change to bigger double room since we only hv 2 pax, at the end the double room not so big , feel disappointed but going back to reception is 7km away which is very far, hence lazy to appeal .. sigh
Wee Chieh, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Romote area with long drive. Totally not worth it
The room booked is 10km bumpy road away from their reception on map and from main road to their reception is also miles of dirty bumpy road. The location on Hotels.com is very misleading or deceptive. There is no dinning facility or any stores within 10 kms. The room we stayed with private bath is small and has noise (like fan or air flow) all the time from the roof. Both front and back door can not be locked from either inside or outside.Not very good experience after a long day.

Grimstunga is a hotel that is about 10km from the reception area, which was startling at first because there is literally nothing around. After a day of driving and walking through Iceland, we were certain we’d find nothing as we drove down a very empty dirt road. But there it was! The rooms are small and there are some issues with the hot/cold water (at least in room 2), but it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast is prepared by the family that lives near the reception area and owns the hotel for a surcharge. It was plentiful and had a little of everything. The people who own the hotel, however, are absolute gems. Our rental car company gave us a car that was low on oil, making the light turn on. With the closest gas station a half hour away, we started getting nervous as it was a big driving day. The owner checked the oil and filled it for us from his personal stores. He even offered to speak to the rental car company on our behalf to have the price of the oil refunded. If you’re looking for very quiet, remote, clean rooms, Grimstunga is the place to go. If you want to meet some incredibly kind and helpful people, Grimstunga is also the place.

Sehr netter Eigentümer, der uns viele gute Tipps gegeben hat. Wir waren in der Nebensaison da und es wurde kein Frühstück angeboten. Man sollte deshalb frühzeitig daran denken einzukaufen, weil die Unterkunft ab vom Schuss ist.
