Just all around wonderful!

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.

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.

Good, simple place to stay. Beds were very comfortable and you have full use of the kitchen. Would recommend if you are in the area

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.

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.

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.

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.

The actual room was 10 km away from the office from bumpy dirt road

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Pretty scenery and very clean

Lovely space, great stopover on drive around Ring Road

Guesthouse was very noisy based on the building and room construction (no soundproofing or noise reduction in the design). You could hear all conversations in the adjoining rooms and kitchen (pots clanking, chairs sliding across the floor, etc.). Very uncomfortable setting. Positives: good communication/email responsiveness, comfortable bed/pillows, and kitchen/fridge/freezer. Road maintenance was poor ((many potholes and ruts, but not sure who is responsible for that.

Rooms with TV and refurbished. 2 shared bathrooms for 5 rooms. Kitchen with complete cookware and appliances.

Great view, great breakfast and big rooms

Great view out back window. Quiet, not so easy to find in the dark. Floorboards are separating. Still cant figure out why bathroom sinks are so small, can’t get two hand in at same time. Seems to be an Iceland thing, see it in many other places! I knock the t. Paper off the roller every time i sit down. Didn’t use the shared kitchen, seem ok. Beds are comfy

Beautiful view

We stayed in the private cottage and booked a triple cottage even though we were two people / a couple, as the two person options were quite small. Highly recommend the slightly greater expense for a triple.. Cottages are quite simple, and really lovely - we were honestly amazed at how modern they were .. out there in the middle of nowhere… And thanks to being there we decided go take the dirt roads up to the falls.. and we’re so so happy we did.. better views, less people & better direct waterfall access than the other side of the ravine with paved road..

Spacious room with beautiful view. Very remote and bad road to get there though

Large room, great view, good value for money. If you would like to eat there is a central place with all the equipment.

I have to say up-front that I was upgraded so my review is of the upgraded chalet room seen in the picture rather than in original guesthouse which is about 6km south of this location. The location is great being a short drive off rte 1, and the chalet room was fantastic. Loads of light, private bathroom, a lovely view over a little river which you can walk down to and wade in (very refreshing on the feet). The shared kitchen area is very spacious with lots of amenities including a big TV. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Overall, had a really good night's sleep and would highly recommend this place.

Great place to disconnect. its close to attractions and was very convenient.

Quiet a remote place but excellent facilities, has all all amenities.

This is a nice hostel ouy in the country. There is nothing atou d for mikes, which we loved! It is a great place to use as a base for visiting beautiful sights in northern Iceland.

Hosts were good. Nothing interesting in the surrounding areas.

The guesthouse is located in very remote area in proximity to Myvatn Lake. The building where we needed to check in was 3 miles away from the site where actual guesthouse was located. Since we were not aware of it, we needed to drive back and forth couple times before we could get to the room and unpack. The place is composed of a few buildings with one of them serving as a common area with kitchen, refrigerator, dishes and kind of dining room. If weather is not very nice it is kind of inconvenience to walk outside to prepare your meals. The room we had was very tiny without any shelves, or other storage and it was no room to unpack. We hardly could fit our luggage in this room. The bed consisting of two twin beds together took most of the space in the room , leaving about 1-2 feet space along this bed on either side. The facilities were very clean and spotless but lack of space made our staying there very uncomfortable. The price we paid was 150 euro per night and in my opinion it was overpriced. We expected much more comfort and space for this price.

This was the only place to stay around the area so we booked it. The place was nice enough. It's a shared bathroom among 5 rooms with a full kitchen. The place is a little older, but the rooms were clean.
