"Perfect"

"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."

"Room was clean and the staff were friendly."

"WAW, Waw, waw.... I don't know where to start. Excellent location, perfect stop for the Gold Circle. Worth every penny! The reception is cosy and clean, very warm welcome from the staff. And that stayed the same throughout. The room was impressive to say the least. It was perfect in every way. Clean, spacious, tea/coffee facilities, view was amazing, the bathroom.....waw, spacious, big shower and all the shampoo etc you could want. Perfect bathroom. The beds were ridiculously comfortable and the robe and slippers were the cherry in top. Free use of the hot tubs were absolutely brilliant, very nice touch to the stay. Breakfast was brilliant, tea/coffee, yoghurt, cereal, hot food and pastries, absolutely delicious. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"Check in is easy. The hosts /staff are very friendly. The restaurant meals were nice. They also have limited food and milk for purchase. Our rental and hot tub were very clean. "

"A unique property! We had dinner, and later ice cream with a window into the cows having their dinner. Very cool! Room was immaculate and the staff were very helpful."

"Magical"

"Best hotel in the region, can’t miss"

"Absolutely the best place I’ve ever stayed. The staff went above and beyond on everything — check in, dinner (amazing), breakfast (huge variety all fresh), suggestions and tips for our travel, information about Iceland history, northern lights wake up call, to name a few. The cottage was cozy, clean and exquisite. Truly a one of a kind experience. Highly recommend. "
