This was a great stay. This property was about 10 miles from the black sand beach and a few more miles from Vik. It is located at the base of a big mountain/glacier and is just about a mile off the main highway. The main building was very nice and the check-in process was quick and easy. The staff was very nice. Our room was for four people and had a private bathroom and shower. Most of the other rooms had shared bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The breakfast was buffet-style and was very good with a variety of sliced meats, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, breads, coffee, and tea. The property was very quiet and had 5 cute goats near the guest building.

Great stay! Very cute and clean, friendly staff. The only thing we would have preferred is if there were three separate beds instead of one double but we’re just being picky. Shared washrooms and showers were very nice and clean. Complimentary breakfast was awesome, nice variety of food! Would highly recommend and stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at the guesthouse! Everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant the night of our arrival and highly recommend it, breakfast was great too! Lastly, we were able to see the northern lights on property and enjoyed not needing to travel to see them.

This guesthouse was adorable. It was lit up with holiday lights which made it very welcoming after a long day of driving. It was conveniently located to sights we wanted to visit. The family room was perfect for our family of 4.

This was our last night in Iceland and a great way to end the trip. The rooms are cozy and there is a common area that we hung out in during the afternoon. The dinning and breakfast area was great. Good food and great service. I highly recommend this Guesthouse. The night we were there the northern lights would out. It was easy to get to a dark place on the property to see them.
