to get started.

The location was fantastic and the accommodations were wonderful.

Caleb, United States of America

Location was near the mountain and easily accessible. Nice and cozy place to stay. Friendly staff. Winds were a bit strong at night but that’s to be expected being by the ocean. We enjoyed our stay.

Vinh, United States of America

I liked the uniqueness of it. After staying in hotels, and guesthouses, this gave us a different experience. If staying for a longer time frame, it would be easy to cook a meal inside the bus. The trek to the common restrooms weren't a big deal.

Nancy, United States of America

The converted buses were so adorable and comfortable! The kitchenette was stocked with everything we needed to prepare simple meals but we also had access to the shared grill outside. The bathroom facilities were very clean and well stocked. Best part was waking up at the foot of Mt Esja, watching the ocean waves crashing to shore across the fields with grazing horses and sheep. Simply gorgeous!

Lorelyn, United States of America

This place is AMAZING!!!! The landscape is stunning, the buses are so cool - you can tell that they put a lot of thought and effort into the renovations. They have a sweet dog, which is always a plus. The bathrooms are great and not far from the buses. They even have a grill and picnic tables (would be cool for the warmer season). I can not recommend this place enough!!!!!

Laura, United States of America

At first glance, everyone in the family was nervous that this would be Dad’s first bad lodging pick of the trip. But upon opening the door to our bus apartment (#1), we quickly began to appreciate the thoughtful approach to renovating these buses into small homes. From very comfortable beds to the great layout, it was a memorable part of our stay. We stayed for two days and loved our stay in the bus as much (if not more) than other places. We had a great night sleep each night! The layout and space works so well!

Dwight, United States of America

Location was beautiful and seeing bus conversion was interesting.

Joanne, United States of America

Very family friendly, breakfast included, gorgeous view, very clean and modern.

Christiane, United States of America

You’ll never get a better view to wake up to. Mountains and sea, plus horses! The accommodations are very unique, clean and kid-friendly. I hope the folks in the US could be so creative as to recycle city buses for this purpose.

Hoyle, United States of America

Location was beautiful and the owner was super friendly. Check in was smooth. The interior of the felt like we were in a real bus. A good dining table with a bunk bed which converts in day as a sofa and then a cozy double bed. Kitchen was decent. Ample power sockets all around the room. For families with kids, they wil love this bus house and the amazing location with mountain background. Overall definitely recommend people to try this atleast once and it takes like an hour from keflavik airport. Of all the places i stayed in Iceland this was most fulfilling.

“Sleeping in a bus, a bit cramped but unique experience”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Double Room with Mountain View
- • Stayed 1 night
Showers and bathroom is in a nearby building. Difficult to fit all our bags somewhere (3 big bags, and 3 bagpacks, we ended up bringing one of each back to the car to make it resonable to move around). Sleeping on top bed in the bunkbed is not for everyone. It's a bit difficult to climb into, and very close to the ceiling and even if small wooden things are provided to keep you from falling off in your sleep it still was a bit worrisome.
Unique to sleep in a bus. It was a bit cramped with all of our bags and things, but what can you expect? Everything you need is provided, beds, table and chairs/bus seats, and a small kitchenette. Very friendly host. View over the mountain Esjan. And walking oppertunities up the mountain. When we woke up it was so windy, it was said to be 32 m/sec, but we felt safe inside the bus and had slept through it all (The bus shook a bit, and the wind howling was heard quite clearly, but felt safe none the less).

Could have been a bit more spacious inside. Could have been more in the middle of nature and a little away from the road/houses. Other than that, you are spending the night on a bus ;)
You are spending the night on a bus. What else can you ask for??? It looks small on the outside, but it's spacious once onside and things are organized. I just wasn't expecting the toile to be on a different building, but it makes sense...

“Fairy tail accommodation”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room with Mountain View
- • Stayed 2 nights
Too windy, so the wind makes a lot of noise and the bus wobbled. It is necessary to have GPS to get there because the signal that indicates the detour on the road is too small.
The kitchen was great, there wasn't a microwave but there were an oven, a casserole and a pan. Cups, dishes and a teapot too. I asked for an extra blanket that they gave me but it wasn't necessary because the room was very comfortable and there were 2 heaters. This place is great for summer time to enjoy the views. The bathroom is 2 meters from the room, even if it is freezing outside, that's not a problem. Boys and girls bathrooms are separated. There is a dryer in the bathroom and free bath gel.

In the dark, it is a little hard to find. Eventually, it worked out but it was kind of stressful. During the day, look for a very small sign marked "Esjan" off the main road.
I liked the uniqueness of it. After staying in hotels, and guesthouses, this gave us a different experience. If staying for a longer time frame, it would be easy to cook a meal inside the bus. The trek to the common restrooms weren't a big deal.
