"Great location on the far side of Thingvellir National Park close to the new Laugarás Lagoon. Freya Farm is truly a family owned farm by a wonderful young family. They were so kind and the property is absolutely stunning. The owner took us for a short hike around their backyard to an amazing river. This is truly a hidden jem."
"This is a very unique property - glass walls from floor to ceiling on two sides with a beautiful view of the Hekla volcano. We really enjoyed it. The hot tub was great and the sauna was nice as well. Hot water and great water pressure. The house is nicely decorated in a modern style. Lovely setting. Not very much hanging space for clothes. It is remote so just know that you need to bring food for dinner and breakfast. I didn't get the notification so I had to go to the store - about 20-25 minutes away which was fine but try to plan ahead so this doesn't happen to you. Host was responsive to questions. Enjoy!"
"Great spot in Reykholt. Wonderful property, easy check in process and awesome breakfast. Right near a couple of great restaurants as well. Highly recommend"
"We stayed at The Hill in late April 2026. It's a great central location to go to Gullfoss, Geysir, several hikes (some that are only accessible in the summer), the only mushroom farm in Iceland and has a cafe, a dairy farm with cafe, and the Secret Lagoon. There's also a great restaurant ten minutes away that specialized in chocolate and langostines. Our room was quite large, which we appreciated. However, we could hear everything other guest were doing - walking or running down the hall, moving hangers in the closet, talking, etc. Our room did not face the courtyard, so to access the area, we would have had to walk to a common doorway - not really that big of a deal. There weren't many common areas for sitting outside of the room, and the room wasn't comfortable for just sitting. The hot tubs were small and kind of distanced from the common doorway. Our patio was small, and you have to access it via a door in the shower. We were given one very flat pillow each, and this was incredibly uncomfortable. Wifi worked well. Hot water ran out for one of my showers, and I had only been in there for three minutes max when my water turned cold. Breakfast was decent, and we chose to eat other meals elsewhere. Overall, good location, nice looking facility, but somethings were just not well conceived or comfortable."
