A pretty bare bones cabin with a seprate kitchen/common area and 2 shared bathrooms with showers. Everything was nice and clean. The WiFi signal was pretty weak, we had a cabin further away from the main building. The shades on the window could have been a bit wider or had magnets on the side or something to close the gap. Overall an affordable, pleasant stay close to the airport

One of the things I wanted to do on this trip was to stay at a tent pod. This was the perfect location for our last night in Iceland since it was a short drive to the airport. I didn't see any staff since its a self check-in, but the instructions were easy and we got our key right away. There is a hot tub, but we didn't have time to get in. The shared kitchen is spacious and has all necessary appliances.
