  Amazing food, great museum/multimedia history presentations, very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are tiny, but I would recommend anyway. Very good experience.

  Nice, Nice Nice! Great hospitality and you cant really live any closer to nature than this. Also, the staff is friendly and give you a taste of the local food and tradition. Without a doubt the best experience on Iceland. I visited seven different places and the coking and the peacefulness hear even outweigh Vestmanöjarna.
  Psst! it was also the cheapest! I ate as much as a wanted and it cost me almost nothing compared to other restaurants and so on.

  One of the best we had. People are very nice and open. Very nice diner and breakfast (like you cook a nice meal at home). For sleeping it was a bit noisy because of wooden house and the other people went to the bathroom. We will come back. Also horse riding was lovely. Egistadir and nabourhood also nice. Not so far away is also a nice hot tub (a hot one and a very hot one - you have to pay a small amount - with shower).

  You will never forget this visit, and see and hear the story from the storytellers.

  What a cool place. The owners/guides put alot of work into this and you can really tell! Everything about the wilderness center looks and feels authentic! The scenery is out of this world, the history is interesting, and the whole experience was one I'll always remember.

  Absolutely loved our stay here. The owners are knowledgable and friendly. There is an abandoned farm house and waterfalls nearby with beautiful nature surrounding you.
  
  It was basically like sleeping in a museum, they remodelled the farm house and put all the floor boards nail by nail, have the old lamps attached to electricities with its wire hidden in the wooden beams so as to have the dormitory look as original as possible. Every bed can be changed from a queen sized bed to a single bed and they even have a really cool organ in the dormitory. If you want your own privacy they also have private rooms that are either in the old architectural or modern style. I was particularly impressed by their attention for details. Even the bathrooms are made to look like the old stable with, of course, modern facilities that blends with its surroundings. You walk out of your room and immediately surrounded by the beautiful valley. It's a great location to explore east fjords with many gorgeous hikes around.
  
  If I ever make my way back to Iceland, which I hope soon, I'd love to stop by and stay at this cozy place again.

  Wonderful experience. Favorite place to stay in Iceland. Owners are the kindest folks we have met on our trip so far - and that is in a country of kind Icelanders. We stayed in the Old Farmhouse and enjoyed the rustic themed interior. The authentic feeling of being in the farmhouse where 14 children were born and 9 unmarried siblings stayed their entire lives was amazing. The breakfast was fantastic and prepared by our host. The hosts are very interesting people and I thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with them. If I make it back to Iceland I will definitely try to find a way to arrive into the local airport at Egilsstaðir. The weather here is much better than in the north - where I drove from yesterday. Though there are many closed roads to the north today, the weather here at the moment is beautiful and calm. Looking forward to going on at least one of the hiking trails - to the abandoned farm. Super highly recommended and will be telling everyone I know that if they can ever get to Iceland to make sure the Wilderness Center is their first stop.

  十里八乡唯一一个可以住宿的地方，夜里头11点才到，给我们的感觉确实很温馨，而且房间里面有很多别具一格的小装饰是其他酒店所不具备的，如果不是价格那么昂贵的话，真应该5星赞啊。我们是7月底去的，100欧一个小房间还不包早餐。。。。
