Guest sentiment
- Cleanliness9.4
Multiple guests explicitly note very clean rooms and perfect room cleaning; no major cleanliness complaints aside from a few mentions of a worn property (which relates to condition rather than housekeeping).
- Service9.9
Consistently praised: 'exceptional staff', 'very friendly and helpful', 'service et acceuil impeccable' — staff made stays welcoming and helpful (including room upgrades).
- Location9.6
Repeatedly highlighted as a major strength: lakeside, serene views, genuine Iceland feel and excellent vistas from rooms and communal areas; only downside is the last 500m of bumpy road affecting access.
- Room Quality9.3
Rooms described as very spacious with amazing lake views and comfortable beds; few negatives: some rooms lack full blackout and parts of the property show wear.
- Amenities8.4
Good amenities (outdoor spa, sauna, massage chair) praised, but issues reported such as the outdoor hot tub being flooded with flies and some signs of aging, reducing this score slightly.
- Value for Money9.0
Standard quality for this hotel tier.
- Food and Beverage8.4
Breakfast is generally described as good, copious and varied, but several guests wanted more choices (e.g., darker breads, oat milk). Evening menu noted as limited by one guest.
- Overall Experience8.0
Overall very positive — relaxing lakeside stays, welcoming staff and great views — tempered by recurring practical negatives (limited breakfast choices for some, access road potholes, occasional wear and amenity issues).
