This is regarding the boat tour we took from the guesthouse to Grímsey Island to see puffins. I twisted my ankle badly during the hike on the island and had to stay behind with my husband while the group moved on with the guide. Shortly later, the captain of the boat came to the rescue. This strong and very helpful fisherman helped me get back to the boat after a very slow and long hike. They were very patient and caring.

Eva

Nice and clean. Near water and tubs. Nice kitchen.

Marcin

The lady who let me in didn’t speak much English but was very kind and friendly. I called the check in early and they were gracious enough to let us in. The unit was very clean, well stocked, warm, and gorgeous. We loved our stay!

Krisanna

The rooms were spacious, new cabins. Excellent value. Amazing view from the upstairs dining room. Very nice, helpful staff. Exceptionally excellent breakfast.

This place was peaceful and quiet, friendly staff, good food, super location; just what we were looking for. If we went to Iceland again Malarhorn would definitely be where we would like to stay for 3-4 days.
