    Location was handy to Dettifoss and the included breakfast was fabulous. The rooms were in the hosts house and although small were very comfy and clean. There was only one bathroom for two hosts and four guests. This wasn’t an issue over our two...

    Sigga was friendly and hospitable. She made us Icelandic breakfast. We shared stories and laughter. The house was clean and renovated. It's a few minute drive from the highway on a gravel road with some potholes. It's close to the geothermal area...

    Cozy room in great location when I planned to visit the two sides of Dettifoss. The guesthouse rooms are part of a nice lady and her husband's house, which is lovely. Guests can use the living room and even the kitchen. I like the glasshouse-like...

Very nice 4 bedroom farmhouse. This is a home that turns into a small guesthouse in the summer so guests should be prepared that it is not a classic guesthouse but a home. Some people have problems with it but most people have liked it.
I'm born on a farm in Sultir (close by Ásbyrgi) and I've lived at Grímsstaðir most of my life with my husband Bragi.
At Grímsstaðir we are close to Dettifoss the most powerful waterfall in Europe ( even if the eastern road is closed for winter/spring). We're positioned on high plains with 360° view from the house c.a. 400m above sealevel. Closest store is in Reykjahlíð by Mývatn ( about 40 km )
