Positive Reviews
positive:
Great spot for Iceland's natural attractions.
Golden Circle was said to be perfectly placed for accessing the attractions of the Icelandic ring route of the same name, and in particular was close to the Gulfoss Waterfall, a thermal hot pool and the Geysir geothermal area. Furthermore, guests loved the views, which ranged from mountain vistas, to lake outlooks.
positive:
Spacious, comfy apartments with free parking.
Those who stayed here said they arrived to spacious and comfortable apartments with everything they needed. On top of this, guests were also happy to have plenty of free parking available on site.
positive:
Supermarket nearby, kitchen for self catering.
Guests said that the apartments were great for self catering, especially with a supermarket close by and all the basic equipment needed for cooking found in the kitchen. For those not wanting to cook, there were also apparently a few restaurants close by.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi poor at times, cleanliness also patchy.
The Wi-Fi here was sometimes not thought to be very good, with some guests struggling to connect, and a small number of Golden Circle guests said that they arrived to apartments which had not been cleaned.
negative:
Maintenance issues, staff not responsive.
Some maintenance issues were reported, ranging from a few instances of malfunctioning heating, to a few things not working in the kitchen. Unfortunately, guests also reported limited assistance from the staff in dealing with these issues, when they finally got in touch.
negative:
Some guests had access/booking issues.
A handful of guests apparently had the unpleasant experience of arriving to find that they could not access their apartment, and again had issues contacting the staff in trying to figure out how they could get inside.
