to get started.

Loved the location of the property. Wonderful restaurant Neilson next door. The room was quaint and comfortable.

Caroline

United States of America

The room size was much larger than our previous guesthouses and the beds were very comfortable. We loved having the kitchen. Loved how easy check in and check out were!

David

United States of America

No breakfast available on site. Instead there is an American 50s style diner up the hill next to a gas station that served a variety of food. Guest house facilities clean, comfortable with a shared bathroom. Camp ground was in another part of town a short drive away. The check in worked for us but only because we had access to the internet and email. It would have been hard/impossible without it. It was close to the local museum.

Adela

United States of America

Good location. Clean. Decent sized rooms and a good value for Iceland. It's a house. Walls a bit thin, but certainly OK.

Daniel

United States of America

Easy to checkin / checkout. Free parking near the house for 4 cars and also on the other side of the road. Bathroom was shared but very clean, rooms were also neat and tidy. Bars, diners, restaurants in a walking distance.

Ilya

There was no staff to be seen On your own. Code to get in and nice set up,but, no staff just phone number if you needed anything. It worked for us, but, some may not like that kind of set up.

Timothy

Their was a group of people cooking in the kitchen and eating until 11pm. It was a bit noisy with them chatting in the kitchen. But everything else was great.
Loved the location of the property. Wonderful restaurant Neilson next door. The room was quaint and comfortable.

Nothing but be aware it is shared bathrooms.
Clean and very well presented. Self check in so make sure you read the instructions clearly in the email. Works fine if you read them. Very large room. Well equipped shared kitchen.

Kitchen wasn't adequate if more than one party needed to cook at the same time. 20 minute " limit" was not reasonable time to cook dinner. Kitchen could use better lighting , oven didn't turn on (instructions?), needs an effective pot scrubber, boot rack at the front door, more hooks/hangars in the rooms. Would prefer to pay separately,as we were a party of four friends.
Clean linens, comfortable beds, adequate number of clean bathrooms, , map on kitchen table, good location, quiet guests, well supplied kitchen, cute house.

Coffee - always a big one for me first thing in the morning.
Very comfy and homey. It worked really well and easily and it’s a very pretty location. The restaurant next door was excellent. On these ratings Booking always asks about facilities and generally there aren’t any so itts a bot a strange question as there is nothing to rate. Likewise there were no staff here however it was so professionally run, none were needed.

I didn't like getting instructions on how to get in the day before arriving. My wife and I were on vacation. We didn't know how to get in. I'd left my phone charger at a previous stop (we were 11 days into our trip by then). This isn't cool-requiring someone to have a device; a power converter; etc Need a better way to do this. We had to go find someone with a phone and ask if we could use it - only HOPING the owners finally sent an email telling us how to get in.
Good location. Clean. Decent sized rooms and a good value for Iceland. It's a house. Walls a bit thin, but certainly OK.
