Gistiheimilið var mjög hreint og snyrtilegt. Eldhús vel búið. Rúmin góð. Netsamband gott. Þjónustan góð. Engin handklæði og ekki sjónvarp. Nærumhverfi mjög skemmtilegt, með auðugu fuglalífi á Blöndu og gömlum húsum sem verið er að gera upp. ##### Smári Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fossatún Camping Pods & cottages – Sleeping bag accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Borgarnes-Hotels-Fossatun-Camping-Pods-Cottages-Sleeping-Bag-Accommodation.h22222400.Hotel-Information) > > [Konvin Hotel by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-BB-Hotel-By-Keflavik-Airport.h3474914.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Collingwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels.d11938.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Greenhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hveragerdi-Hotels-The-Greenhouse-Hotel.h63857923.Hotel-Information) > > [Reykjavik Natura - Berjaya Iceland Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Icelandair-Hotel-Reykjavik-Natura.h12750.Hotel-Information) > > [Northern Light Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Northern-Light-Inn.h12320638.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Parq Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Parq-Vancouver.h19413101.Hotel-Information) > > [Hótel Kría](https://www.expedia.ca/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Hotel-Kria.h22847314.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Apartments by Heimaleiga](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Apartments.h10632146.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Höfn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hofn-Hotels-Hotel-Hofn.h19291791.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Núpar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalfafell-Hotels-Fosshotel-Nupar.h7999374.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Smyrlabjorg](https://www.expedia.ca/Hofn-Hotels-Hotel-Smyrlabjorg.h27052423.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Beach Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Black-Beach-Suites.h21959953.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Vatnajokull](https://www.expedia.ca/Hofn-Hotels-Fosshotel-Vatnajokull.h7998536.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurora Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rangaring-Eystra-Hotels-Aurora-Lodge-Hotel.h23696101.Hotel-Information) > > [Hótel Dyrhólaey](https://www.expedia.ca/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Hotel-Dyrholaey.h21081951.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Fagurholsmyri-Hotels-Fosshotel-Glacier-Lagoon.h12794262.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Isla Mujeres](https://www.expedia.ca/Isla-Mujeres-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d7925-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Höfn - Berjaya Iceland Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Hofn-Hotels-Hotel-Edda-Hofn.h6416443.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-The-Retreat-At-Blue-Lagoon-Iceland.h33987034.Hotel-Information) > > [ION Adventure Hotel, Nesjavellir, a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Selfoss-Hotels-ION-Adventure-Hotel.h8393015.Hotel-Information) > > [Eleven Deplar Farm](https://www.expedia.ca/Skagafjorour-Hotels-Eleven-Experience-Deplar-Farm.h35065041.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in San Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels.d178305.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Barn - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-The-Barn.h32596142.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vík í Mýrdal](https://www.expedia.ca/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Hotel-Vik.h35767873.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sfo/yvr/san-francisco-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/yhz/st-johns-to-halifax) > > [flights from windsor airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yqg/flights-from-windsor-airport) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxu/toronto-to-london) ### Packages > [Canada's Wonderland](https://www.expedia.ca/Canadas-Wonderland-Toronto.d503121.Vacation-Attraction)
