The staff was very nice and the room and the bathroom was clean. The breakfast was included and good. Only thing I didn’t like during my stay here was I could hear noises from next room.

Overall a good experience.
Minor thing: doors were making creaking noise, so if other guests in a different room open their door to use the restroom or access the kitchen, you could hear it in your room at night.

I stayed with my family overnight. The place was shared between two families with a shared bathroom. We have no complains, place was neat and clean, quiet. Shared kitchen space was comfortably sized.

Great location but too expensive and old.
Very poor value for the very high cost per night. Staff were lovely, location is excellent and breakfast is excellent. Rooms and bathrooms are very dated and not clean.

Amazing location. There are so many natural wonders within a very short driving distance from the guesthouse. But the property is pretty dated. There is very little beyond spartan level facilities. One really really big plus for the guesthouse is the breakfast. The staff is also very accommodating.

Clean, Good room, and kitchen. Wonderful breakfast in the morning. Note the hot water is geothermal and smells highly of sulfur (though this is likely the case everywhere in the region, just giving a heads up). Other than the cold shower we took, everything else was great!

Just not used to a hostel environment. There was never a shortage of shared facilities, but we are used to having our own bathroom, etc.
Breakfast was on of the best we had in Iceland.

Wonderful staff left us a notes with detailed instructions for our late check-in. Thank you! It’s nice to know they’re offering laundry service, even we didn’t have a chance to do it. Very clean room; like the” shoes off” idea. One bathroom door has very loud scratches sounds when open and close it. Will recommend it for it’s location too😊

Can’t beat the location when it comes to accessing all the incredible naturalistic beauty in the area. Easy check-in and good place to rest for two nights. A bit noisy with the thin walls, but thats what you come to expect when staying at guesthouses. Worth it for the price!
