The room is beautiful with a big glass window looking at the green fields and the mountain with waterfall behind you. The brakefast was great, and it included some Icelandic traditional dishes such as lamb pate and skyr.

We like everything here. We spent the night here 2 nights before. We supposed to go to Eggilstadir, but the road was closed. We ended up staying here again

The host was so amazing we had a car that. Well wasn't ment for gravel roads and there was a small gravel road leading up to the houses. The owner hired some construction vehicles to make the road easy accessible so we could cross it over easily. It was so amazing. The inside also was nice and cozy and you could see the stars from your bed. The kitchen had a bunch of supplies and the beds were very comfortable. Honestly I can recommend this to anyone

The only downside is that there's no restaurant open at night, and the nearest one is 40 km away, which is difficult to navigate on these roads at night. However, the hostess helped us with some snacks and fruit and resolved this issue. So, excellent service.

A really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new. The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland. The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.
