Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite satisfying. The rooms were neat and bright, albeit rather standard. The location was perfect, very near Godafoss and just outside of town, striking a balance between remote and accessible to attractions in the area. The dining experience was good, with tasty homemade offerings, and the service was warm and welcoming. However, there is room to improve the room pricing to enhance the overall value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at this farm hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated in a renovated cow shed overlooking a river. The service was top-notch, with a friendly host who picked me up and provided a fabulous breakfast. The location was perfect, allowing for a remote feel while being close to important attractions. The dining experience was delightful, offering a delicious selection, including homemade smoked lamb. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.
The hotel is situated right across from the stunning Godafoss waterfall, offering a peaceful and convenient location near key attractions. The rooms are spacious, new, and comfortable, though they might take a bit to warm up initially. The service is exceptional, with staff going out of their way to assist guests. The dining experience is delightful, featuring fresh and homemade dishes. Overall, a fantastic place to stay, especially for nature lovers and sightseers.
