Horrific experience and the worst customer service I have ever had. Couldn’t get an answer out of the hotel for 2 weeks. Will never stay at a Mr and Mrs Smith property again!!

After eight wonderful days in Iceland, with northern lights, we spent two nights in this wonderful hotel, in short, nothing is missing, the baths in the lagoon are to be felt, very good restaurants, we had cod again, the white wine was not very successful, the room does not lack detail with a very comfortable bed, the breakfast was expe tabular, due to the great variety, quality and the landscape that you see, I recommend the vegetable omelette, the salmon, and the detox juice with ginger, they are all natural, I am already thinking about returning, I forgot to thank the human team, especially Laura, in the know, also the ability.
