This is my first review on trip advisor. After a long vacation, , taking the time to write a review was never on my list. As a busy mom of four, I was always headed straight to the laundry room when I got home. However, I do feel this review needs written regarding our stay at these cabins First of all, our travel agent booked our stay. We paid her company directly and not a booking company online. She told me that this resort had good reviews on trip advisor and that is why she chose to book our stay there. Trusting she is in this business and knows what to look for, we allowed her to take control. She has never failed us before. Upon arrival, one of our 2 cabins was not ready so we had to wait 2 hours until we could get into our cabin. Which was fine for us and not a huge problem because we had the other cabin our kids were in to sit and wait. The young girl at check in was very sweet as well as the lady cleaning the cabins. Our cabin windows were all closed due to the late cleaning which, we understood. The weather was unusually hot while we were there making the cabins around 85 degrees inside. When we immediately opened the windows, as warned at the front desk, flying biting insects flooded our cabin so we shut the windows quickly leaving the biting insects inside and the cabin becoming a sauna and feeding frenzy for the pests. When I called the main desk to ask if they had a fan, they said they did not and advised us to use insect spray on our bodies to help us sleep. Not only were the flying insects a problem, while sweating and literally picking flying insects off your body, sand fleas were also jumping on you from the main living area. At 1:00 am, 2 of our family members chose to move into the car to sleep while the others slept on the linoleum floor trying to stay cool. We left in the morning before anyone was even at the check out counter since it closes at 9pm and opens later in the morning. We chose to leave even though we had paid for 2 more nights ..paying for 2 cabins. You can do the math. These cabins are quaint yet, dated. They are located in an untamed vast natural area. I completely understand that the environment cannot be controlled. However, screens do exists in the area as we noted while exploring the country. Management knew and warned us about the flying insects yet, failed to invest in fans or screens which both, repel biting midges. After our experience, I invested time into reading previous reviews and realized this was not their first review regarding these issues. Furthermore, the manager, unprofessionally replied to a previous review calling the customer “clumsy” because she tripped on the flooring entering the bathroom. K.R, the managers initials clearly needs to attend a workshop on people skills and should not be in the customer service business. His replies are harsh and insulting. His unpolished personality is a reflection of the type of service and overall stay in the cab

This was a surprise weekend away for my wife as it was her birthday. We have never been to Iceland before so it was an opportunity to broaden our horizons, the hotel was amazing, we were made to feel so welcome by all the staff from the initial check in right the way through to our early morning departure The restaurant service was amazing, they were so attentive, the food was delicious and even thinking about it now is making my mouth water. The overall venue is fantastic, it's a series of buildings, ours had 6 bedrooms and at the end there was a kitchen/chill out area that then leads out to a raised deck with two hot tubs that were for all of this building. We were so impressed with the venue, the staff and all the facilities, we would thoroughly recommend this hotel and we hope to return there again in the future

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!!

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.
