Positive:
Good value for money for Iceland. We liked the room and the general lay out as well as the easy access to horse rides. Breakfast and dinner were good.
The trail ride with Lina was a lot of fun and it was interesting to learn about the tolt. Thank you Lina.
Negative:
The location is near a main motorway and not particularly scenic. We would have liked a kettle and mugs/tea & coffee sachets in our room rather then the common area because we get up really early and like a cuppa then.
Summary: Nice horse riding hotel, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Dinner was excellent! Still cannot forget the dinners we had there. Everything we ordered were mouth-watering delicious and iconic Icelandic dishes. It may look simple but each dish was done with perfection, even the grilled carrots sourced from local green house was so tender and delicious, it almost tasted like a dessert!
All staffs were so nice and friendly, taking great thoughts in caring for the guests. The lady at the reception has extremely good memory and remembered every inquiries and timings. The lady who picked me up made me felt warm at arrival, as well as the day we went out horse-riding in heavy snow, she wrapped me up with everything possible to make sure I am warm enough.
I stayed on the ranch for fours days and joined two days of the horse-riding excursions. It was a fun and special experience tölting with Iceland horses. The tours were well-arranged and the horses are super calm and cute. Though time were tight, it would have been nice to have a bit more informative introduction to Icelandic horses before we set off, as they are so unique to Iceland and the world!
Negative:
With its convenient location, great value of stay and large capacity, it is unavoidably one of the top choices for group booking. However, when there are crowds, it would be loud and noisy at times. During breakfast, groups were arranged in another hall but it is still a contrast to my otherwise very peaceful, calming stay.
Summary: Excellent with a charming Icelandic touch!

Staff was quick to reply for a late check in as we booked it last minute. The breakfast was lovely and the room was spacious and comfortable!
Negative:
The rooms were very hot during the night even though we tried to turn off the heating. Ended up sleeping with the window open while it was snowing outside which was nice!
Summary: Great stay!
