We got a bigger room than we booked since no one made a reservation for it. It was a nice surprise. The room had a huge window with a beautiful view. We had a tasty breakfast included in the price. The guesthouse offers also dinner options. Whole guesthouse feels like home as it is nicely decorated. I would like to thank the hosts for making our stay so pleasant :)

Magdalena Poland

The room, bedsheet was very clean. Very cozy setting.

Felicia Malaysia

Fantastic location with nice panoramic view. Very clean & comfortable. Staff is very helpful. Very delicious traditional Icelandic dishes made by Olafur (owner & chef). Good breakfast.

Surunchana Thailand

Very large and nice house. Indoor decorations make it very cozy (some rooms look more like separate appartments), loved the large dining room. Nice host, comfy beds, well equiped kitchen. We had great stay

Zuzana Czech Republic

Due to corona we were the only guests at the guesthouse! The hosts have been very friendly and cared about our stay. They cooked dinner and breakfast just for us and as the title says we felt like home at our aunt‘s and uncle‘s place, we just met! We also got some tipps for attractions around! Thank you for the great stay and experience! We will come again!!!

Johannes Austria

Unspoilt views across the countryside, very quiet, welcoming accommodation, great facilities.

Discodiva United Kingdom

The common areas were great, dinner and breakfast were very nice, maps of the area available and very nice vue from the bedroom

Emmanuelle France

We absolutely recommend having at least a dinner here and to try the Icelandic meatballs, they were amazing! A very good place to stay, we had the chance to see the northern lights just outside the guesthouse.

Petergian Italy

Comfortable rooms and breakfast included. Everything sparkling cleaned.

Maria Portugal

The hostel ist somewhere in the nowhere but it is still easy to find. Perfect location for the northern light. If you the ring road it is the perfect place to stay a night. Vegan friendly
