This cottage was off by itself. Gave us a great view of the northern lights our first night there. We were a little surprised that there was no oven but we made do with the stove top and microwave. It was a nice stay and we would stay there again. We did not have any experiences with the restaurant. The troll garden was pretty cool. And the views were outstanding. Gorgeous sunset from the cottage.

We loved our stay at the Sunset Cottage! It was one of our favorite places we stayed during our 10 days in Iceland. The cottage itself is located over a hill, several hundred meters away from the main buildings, and provides s lot of privacy. It was quiet and clean with wide open views of the countryside. We had breakfast on our last day ~$21USD/person), and it was great. We also ate at the restaurant onsite for several dinners so that we could enjoy the lovely waterfall view and delicious food. We would absolutely stay here again if in the area.

It is a lovely property with a great view. The cottage had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. The cafe had great food and the prices were reasonable for the area. Only complaint was that the hot tub area did not have no-slip mats and with the water and cold the floor froze up and I fell and broke my arm. While waiting for emergency services to arrive the staff was more upset about not being able to lock up the bathhouse rather than concern for my safety and protection from the elements (it was late and cold and windy that night). Considering the lack of safety measures, they could have been more understanding given the circumstances

Unsere Buchung konnte nicht erfolgen, da sie am Tag unserer Anreise von Hotels.com storniert wurde. Eine Alternative wurde erst um 18 Uhr abends 75 km von unserem Zielort entfernt angeboten. Die bereits vor sechs Monaten bezahlte Überweisung haben wir von Hotels.com bis heute nicht zurückerhalten. Wir waren 10 Jahre lang Kunden bei Hotels.com und eigentlich zufrieden. Aber die Kommunikation mit dem Unternehmen funktioniert sehr schlecht, schlecht ausgebildete Mitarbeiter, die nicht der Sprache mächtig sind. Vorsicht bei künftigen Buchungen bei Hotels.com!

Génial ! Le sunset cottage est isolé des autres bâtiments de l’autre côté de la colline et offre une superbe vue sur la vallée. Le logement est confortable, la literie est bonne, seul l’équipement de la cuisine pourrait être amélioré (casseroles, poêle). Le restaurant est agréable et le personnel accueillant. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour.

One of our most fun stops! Hidden gem. Property and evening dining area overlooks a beautiful waterfall. We and the kids loved the troll garden and games. The cottage itself was nice. 1 full, 2 twin beds, private bathroom, kitchenette. It's up on a hill, away from the rest of the camping/sleep pods. We enjoyed the privacy. I was worried it'd be a buggy area, but a-ok! I didn't know, but Iceland is mosquito-free. Just close the door quickly to avoid swatting flies. No music that evening, but a fantastic music room with a small stage. I have a feeling that it would be an incredible experience if we knew the story behind it and the music was going.

Everything was so great, but what we appreciate the most: - the opportunity of having the breakfast althought we were the only ones for it. - that we got the room in another part from the other guests, if it was possible. It made the stay more private.

one of the nicest piece of property in Iceland

beautiful setting- on river falls-nice to hike around. All types of accommodations little motel type rooms- huts with bring your bag and very nice guest cabin with great kitchen that we stayed in- suggest you do your own cooking..dinner was pricey and very bad- like thin dried fish breaded like a disguise- -not a chef in the house! Cold fish and I mean forgot to nuke well fish and chips.Breakfast- book or not was good-usual buffet. Again suggest to take advantage of fine kitchen if you have the guest cabin. Shop for food supplies in Borgarnes.The place was nice -we expected a really nice dinner, Dining room was cute- music records theme in glassed deck view of Falls.

Short stay on our way back to Reykjavik

We stayed a couple of nights at Fossatun's Sunset cottage, the place was tidy and clean, spacious enough foe a family of 4 including 2 teens. The view was fantastic and must be great for watching the northern lights when the weather allows it. Very nice troll and folklore themed walk around the water fall. Definitely one of our best stays in Iceland.
