Disadvantages: The hotel room and floor are very dusty and not clean. The room was not soundproofed, and other tenants spoke in the corridor, and they heard it clearly. Although the hotel advertises as a five-star hotel, breakfast is actually not as good as the Guest house and three-star hotel we stayed in on this trip in bread, yogurt and so on. Pros: Breakfast included, bathtub is large. The size of the room is OK in American country style. When I checked out, oolong was also seen as other tenants signing more than 40,000 local currency dinners in my room number. Fortunately, another service staff immediately said that it was okay.

We didn’t stay at the hostel, but we were staying nearby and went for dinner one night, and went back the next night after dinner for a drink. Thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The staff were superb, really lovely and welcoming and happy to chat. The food was really tasty and good value, generous portions. The style of food was quite wholesome local food, and although the menu was small, they were careful to have options to suit a range of tastes (vegan, fish, meat). The place was comfortable and the dining room had great views over the lake. Highly recommended!

The house was very cozy and the check in process was very easy as well. The room was a perfect size with a bathroom bigger than our apartment. It's very clean and the owners are just a phone call away. They are very sweet, helpful and will do anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Not to mention the pricing is extremely good (Sleeping arrangements are very expensive in Iceland)!. Almost every attraction in the area is within walking distance and with your booking confirmation you can receive discounts at selected places. 10/10 will definitely book again!!

Hotel was centrally located for a stay in the Golden Circle. Wake up early and get to the waterfall before anyone else! Somewhat of a basic hotel that does include a restaurant on the premises. Room was not elaborate but did have a view of the lake in the distance. Hotel breakfast was only cold items if I remember correctly but perfectly adequate to get started for the day.

We had a nice night at Country Dream. Our room although not large, was comfortable. we had 1 bedroom and a pull out sofa.... but wait.... The pull out sofa was not like any normal one where you have to pull everything off and have a bar in your back, it was a case of simply pulling a cord and the whole sofa turned upside down into a bed that was as comfortable as the bed in the bedroom. It took 20 seconds to pull out the bed and 20 seconds to put it back the next morning. The room had a small kitchenette which was adequate for cooking a simple meal. There was also a hot tub available to use with our room. As a bonus, we were invited to go into the stable to visit the owner's very friendly Icelandic horses. He also organised for a beautiful Icelandic Sheepdog to come and visit us. Country Dream is on a horse farm about 5 - 15 minutes drive from the main road between Geysir and Selfoss depending on the conditions. In the right conditions, it would give a great opportunity to see the Northern lights. If you are staying here in winter, I recommend that you ask your rental car company to provide you with a car with metal beads (studs) in the tyres as the road was very icy when we left due to rainfall and freezing temperatures.

I’ve never stayed in a place like this before. We stayed in both bubble hotels, Hrosshagi and Olvisholt. Both experiences were wonderful. A few of things to note… 1. Check in times are 5-8pm. There isn’t someone on site all night. Just be aware that you cannot check in whenever you want. Plan accordingly. 2. This is a very luxurious form of “glamping”. Each bubble doesn’t have its own bathroom. However, there are two heated bathrooms as well as a common area with two more restrooms and two showers. There is a small area with a sink and coffee pot and a table to enjoy breakfast or play games with a group. I’m not particularly interested in being without good accommodations. These were excellent and there was never any issue with the restrooms or showers. 3. Bring crampons/ice spikes. It can be slippery. Now for the good stuff… The bubbles are incredibly comfortable. It was cold when we were there (around 0 C or 32 F). The bubbles are warm and cozy. The beds were comfortable and warm, as well. They have a heated pad on there that you can adjust to make sure you’re warm. The experience was just like nothing else I’ve ever done. I didn’t see the northern lights at this one (I did at the other). But the views were spectacular, nevertheless. I slept incredibly well and made sure to just enjoy the night and the morning. There are several great things to do in the area. It’s not far at all from some fantastic sights- Secret Lagoon, Gullfoss, Bruarfoss, Faxafoss, Kerid Crater. Try the food at Fridheimar and Efstidalur. It was excellent.
