Great place for grandmother and teen grandson to stay. Interesting walks. Beautiful scenery. Off the beaten path. Grandmother enjoyed the hot tub. Grandson enjoyed the waterfalls and troll sculptures. Excellent charcuterie board for supper!

A great and fun place to stay. A fabulous restaurant for dinner and lovely walks on site and a fun place to learn about Iceland Troll myths. The room was big and clean.

There were a few flies in the room (makes sense being in the countryside) and it was so warm in the room that my glasses fogged up when I walked in.

The location and view were phenomenal. We enjoyed walking the grounds, seeing the troll garden, and walking along the river. Dinner was excellent and the view from the restaurant was indescribable. The location exceeded my expectations.

A small detail - easily fixable: short power cord of the kettle, you can't pour water without unplugging it from the (inaccessible) outlet... ;-)

We stayed in a room with a bathroom for two nights. The room had a small fridge, microwave and kettle with coffee, tea and wine glasses :-). Breakfast was delicious, on a beautiful glassed-in terrace overlooking the waterfall. It's amazing that the owner thinks of everyone - if you prefer to self-cater, there are two well-equipped kitchens. If you want to stay in the privacy of your room, you have the basic equipment. And if you want to take advantage of the dinner option - and from my own experience I recommend it - just make a reservation. The real pearl is the hot tubs, fed by the most abundant European hot spring...! And don't forget to walk through the troll garden!

My only complaint was the beds were soft and squeaky.

Beautiful setting with a waterfall right outside, walking paths and mountains. Exceptional breakfast.

The room was superb including a comfortable bed. It was special being away from the town - the setting was so beautiful. There are hiking trails starting at this location. We loved the hot tubs filled with water from a hot spring - so relaxing after a long drive. Breakfast was delicious. My favorites were the smoked salmon and lots of delicious fruit at breakfast we sat by windows overlooking a beautiful waterfall. We even got to watch the Northern lights paint the sky for 45 minutes.

Nothing

Everything. The waterfall location, the food at breakfast and in the evening, the decor and the atmosphere in the quirky restaurant and the friendly, professional staff.

No complaints. The rooms could be a little bit more modern, but for the price they were great.

Location was wonderful, rooms were comfortable, warm and clean.

I have booked this location for the second time and every time I felt like home. The staff is super nice and always ready to help or just to chat. The breakfast is amazing, just beside the waterfall. I also booked a dinner (in November they appreciate if you book in advance regarding food) and it was delicious. Lots of local food to try. They also have their own beer and I recommend it. It was also a nice spot to watch Aurora. I hope my wallet will be able to take me there again this year.

Nothing sticks out, it was exactly what I had expected.

Breakfast was included with our room and was a good spread and filling for the day of hiking. The location was perfect for what we had planned. We also ate dinner at the Rock and Troll Restaurant both nights we stayed there. The food and the service were very good. As someone who is very familiar with music from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, the music being played during breakfast and dinner was excellent. I would recommend Fossatun Country Hotel for anyone who wants to see and hike Iceland’s beautiful countryside.

The rooms were not very well lit. So if you want the daylight coming in to brighten up the room, you would need to open the blinds which would result in absolutely in no privacy.

The location of the hotel is just amazing. The view from our room was a magnificent waterfall. Our room was at the bottom of small hill on which there were these interesting artifacts curated by the hotel. It was quite fun. The view from that hill top too was amazing. We got to witness Northern Lights the first time from there. We had dinner and breakfast there and the food was just delicious. Their mushroom soup is a must try! They also have a hot tub which we really enjoyed!

We were disappointed to be told that the hotel had run out of sachets of coffee etc. for the rooms and on our second day had to share a single early morning cup of coffee.

An interesting mix of self catering and camping chalets: we enjoyed the breakfast, used the well equipped communal kitchen and relaxed in the wonderful hot tubs!

The location was great and overlooked Trollfoss, the room was nice and clean, the food was yummy, the Troll Garden was spectacular and fun, and the owner was friendly and offered to sign the books we purchased. And what a wonderful vinyl collection from this accomplished record producer/owner! We really enjoyed the music playing in the restaurant - it brightened our day. The whole experience was amazing and will be one of our favorite memories of Iceland! 🇮🇸 🧌

We loved the location, the hot tubs and the food! Definitely, would stay again if we were in the area

One shelf in the wardrobe was looking tired so if staying more nights that might have been a problem

If you're staying in Iceland but want to be out of the main path of the Reykjavik masses, this is perfect accomodation. The staff have been incredible and there are also little glamping pods which look cool! Didn't go in the Hut tubs on site because we wanted to go to Krauma which is 10 mins up the road and watch the sunset from there. We ate in the restaurant after and would recommend and their duo dishes are a great idea for tasting delicious dishes (we were still really full and wouldn't have managed a full starter and main of each!) really reasonable considering Iceland prices and the portion size. We got 500isk off as a discount when buying the Toll book and a T shirt which was an added bonus, particularly as the author of the book signed it for us as well - it's his business I think! Our nephew will be really pleased! Comfy beds and clean accomodation, slightly dated but still fit for use. Great little overnight on our ring road adventure. there's also a Troll garden walk which is free for those staying and was great for views around the place

The hotel was clean and comfortable. It was in a good location to see the northern lights. The restaurant was nice since you can see the waterfall behind it.

Excellent accommodation in the countryside. View from the restaurant was outstanding.
