A unique cottage within a campground. Loved the personal hot tub in the back. We enjoyed exploring all of the nature trails on the river behind us. Didn't love the sulphur smell in the water in our cottage, but could be normal for this area.

Inaccurate description on hotels.com

The description on hotels.com indicated a private bathroom. I’d assume this would mean it has a shower! No indication there was no shower. Otherwise cabin was nice, brand new. Property littered with construction materials.

The cottage was cute with a workable kitchen. The bathroom/shower was very small. We did not use the hot tub as we arrived late. There is a phone number posted on the main building door to call when you arrive. We had an Esim with data only so could not call the number. There was not a WhatsApp number. We were lucky that another person was checking in and had contacted the manager. Staff were pleasant.

Did not meet expectation at all. Very, very disappointing. Just don’t if you have any other choice. We loved every accommodation around the Ring Road except this one. Broken windows and blinds, stinky water, poor communication and not at all as described.

This was the most spacious place we stayed out for our entire trip to Iceland, which was a welcome change of pace. The cottage itself was wonderful. We paid extra for a cottage with a hot tub, but the hot tub experience was not what we had expected. We had to fill it, which required an employee to do this for us as we could not figure out the written instructions (and that is on us and is not their fault) ... but when we went out to the hot tub after it was filling up, it had lots of hair, dirt, and dead bugs floating in the water. We felt like if we were paying extra for the hot tub, that is should be clean and ready for us to use. Otherwise, there were no complaints at all.

we stayed in Cottage number 4 which had a bedbug infestation. We have been bitten so badly that we have had to receive medication. I have written a report about this last week which you did not publish. The communication is terrible with the host, there was about a metre of snow against the front door. We had no option but to dig it away with our bare hands which took around 10 mins, not even a shovel was provided. I am asking Expedia to request a refund on my behalf or i will publish photos on every site that this disgusting property advertises on.

Upon arrival, there is a note to notify someone at a certain phone number for check in as NO ONE was on site or in the office. All fine in dandy for a local... But as I was a tourist from another country, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK that could be done!!! Pretty bonehead note on door. So I waited at the the door for an hour. Luckily,,, someone else showed up. That person had a phone... What Einstein, would think someone from another country could get on email. If management wants a phone call,,, put a phone than either put a phone on outside door, how else can I call

Not what’s in the pics

The pics showed a cottage with wood walls, twin and double sized beds. So we got a modular home, which I would have accepted if the place wasn’t cold with only the built in fireplace in the living room to heat it up. Thankfully there was a space heater in the teens room. The beds that were supposed to be twin size were much smaller than twin size. The refrigerator wasn’t working and we had bought food so I stored our food in the car at night. There were 4 of us. By the time my husband took a shower in the morning the hot water ran out and he showered with cold water… on the grounds there were cottages that looked like the pics, so make sure that’s what you are getting coz what we got was not good:-(

BED BUGS!!!! I have photos of my husband and son being bit by soooooo many bed bugs. I on the other hand took one look at the foam “mattress” before getting into bed and the fitted sheets with holes in them and I made sure to sleep on top of the blanket. I would NOT recommend this property for anyone to stay at. There were so many dead bugs by the window sill and the dishes/cutlery were so dirty. The check in process was NOT easy. They stated that check in was until 10pm and there was no one at the office. They have a phone number to call but being we are from CANADA, I only had data on my phone. You would think they would at least be available via WhatsApp. So we were lucky to borrow a cellphone from a person at the campsite to contact the property staff. This was the worst accommodation we have ever experienced which makes me thin twice about booking with Expedia for our future accommodation needs.
