The place was amazing! It’s perfect for a couple or a small group of four, all in one cozy cottage. It includes a tiny kitchen with a microwave and small fridge, plus convenient parking right in front. We slept very well, and the location was ideal for watching the Northern Lights on a clear night. Only about 10 minutes from Seljalandsfoss — we truly enjoyed our stay!”

Bru Guesthouse was everything we wanted in this trip. A quiet cozy little cottage with a view of the Icelandic countryside with the beautiful Gljúfrabúi waterfall in the distance.
Amazing view and location. The lodge is well equipped and clean

Very nice cabin with wide open views
Great place. It's got a great view even in the summer without northern lights to look at. It was comfy and everything was super easy for check in and check out.
