Viaje familiar

We booked this accommodation due to limited alternatives. It’s extremely expensive, even by Icelandic standards. The biggest surprise came via email after booking, advising us to take a bus. The listing mentioned a shuttle and that the place was only accessible by 4x4 or a scheduled bus with a surcharge—but it never stated the actual cost: €64 per person, one way.
For four people, that would have added €512 on top of the €360 already paid—completely out of proportion. Had this been clearly stated upfront, we wouldn’t have booked.
We ended up driving ourselves along a 25 km gravel road in a Dacia Duster, crossed five rivers, then called the hotel. Mikko—friendly and helpful—picked us up in a Defender to cross three more deep rivers, for which we paid an extra fee.
The location is stunning, but the accommodation is very basic. Dinner was OK. Breakfast was good.
I’m surprised more reviewers don’t mention this. Most guests seemed to arrive by bus—likely unaware of the full cost until after booking.
