    Worth the drive to.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • King Room with Bunk Bed
    • Stayed 1 night

    No staff on site, but this is common it seems for the guesthouses in Iceland. Still, as a solo female traveler there were only 3 other men staying there and they were drinking. I'll stress that nothing inappropriate happened and they were respectful but being that the place is very isolated it wasn't a great vibe and I spent most of my time in my room.

    Fantastic location, very interesting drive. Place met every need (though kitchen seemed a little sparse on some utensils). There was a nice common area and I believe they even had a shelf full of board games etc. for some entertainment. Plus wifi...

    Towels not included in the price of the room (our bad for not noticing when booking).

    We are not used to shared bathrooms, but it was comfortable and not an issue. everything was very clean and cozy. The shared kitchen was well equipped and the dining room was big and cozy.

    The room was very small, although not dissimilar to other guesthouses in Iceland. The road into the fjord is unpaved and steep in places.

    Wonderful location. Well equipped kitchen. Clean.

    Some windows and doors are quite old and could use an upgrade. Also, the beds were not that comfortable.

    Clean accomodation with everything you expect to have. The road to get here is a gravel road and it is a little bit long, but the scenery you see on the window is worth it. We were lucky and in the morning in which we checked out we were able to see some whales in the water which was an amazing bonus!

    The location was as advertised - but for this accomodation the journey was the reward. Still, especially with a small car (Hyundai i10) the ride was adventurous but doable. Enjoy the view from the mountain top while driving and inside the fjord after arrival.

    all good, nothing to complain - the owner told us ahead what to expect, gravel road and bring your groceries!

    the view was just amazing - after managing the drive with our little car, not easy but doable, we had the perfect sunny weather with an spectacular view of the fjord.

    Rooms have very thin walls. Not a problem for us, but we overheard neighbors complaining about snoring from the next room over (it wasn’t us!). Gravel road would be a tricky drive in winter, but fine in summer.

    Lovely location at the end of a fjord. Very quiet outside. Beds were comfortable, including bunk beds. Can easily accommodate large groups and good common spaces.

    It had a bed, a shower, and a kettle. That's all I expected, and all I needed. Luckily, I had my own blanket and sheets, otherwise it would have been a chilly night. A very quiet house in a VERY beautiful valley. But be ready; if you have a 4WD, it will take around 45 - 50 minutes to reach the hostel, down a steep and winding road. Don't be fooled by distances in Iceland. Ten kilometers can sometimes mean an hour or more. The views are absolutely worth it.

    1 shared bathroom which is not enough when the guesthouse is full booked, and not super clean.

    The fjord around is an incredible view, while arriving by the mountain, or simply enjoy it from the guesthouse spot.

    The guesthouse is in one of the most beautiful fjord of Iceland with wonderful landscapes and a magical atmosphere. We also had the chance to see a whale and the Northern lights. It seemed to live in a fary tale. The guesthouse is pretty basic with small rooms and bunk beds. The common area tho is quite big with big kitchen and dining room. One of the cheapest place we slept in, but alone is worth the trip.
