Great, very helpful owner. Beautiful location close to Asbyrgi canyon

Guest12345678 Netherlands

This guest house has it all - very modern and well-equipped kitchen, nice rooms with towels provided, great location (especially for northern lights), and amazing toilets / showers which have heated floors and are closer to what you will find in a 5 star hotel.

Feelz Spain

There's a lot of rooms, but WCs and washrooms also. So it is enough for all. Room relatively big and tidy. Near to the Dettifoss.

Frequent_voyager France

Amazing rooms and amazing bathrooms. Really suggest this place especially if you have visited Asbyrgi in the morning. The kitchen is very good, fully equipped and it is very easy to cook in it. The owner was very nice and greeted us when we arrived. She also told us that that night northern lights were predicted and we were able to see them :)

Adolfo Italy

Great spot with nice dining/kitchen facilities. The bathrooms are lovely too. We saw the aurora lights, it’s nice and dark on the driveway :) Good location near the Asbyrgi Canyon too.

Erin Australia

Owner greeting us, giving us advice about road conditions and many other things to look for. She even gave me milk for coffee and cereal which was not included! 4 bathrooms for 10 rooms was very good.

Anne-marie Canada

The spacious room Fantastic shower with heated floor Fully equipped kitchen shared by the guests

Kathleen Taiwan

There are enough bathrooms so at least one of them is always available. Each room has a sink, and this is helpful. The kitchen is well equipped

Host Information

Host review score 8.7

This building was a school dorm until the year of 1995. Kids stayed here during the week because the road at this time was bad and there for it was hard to drive them everyday. The rooms are almost the same, you can still see in some of them signs after the kids who stayed here.
