Rooms were clean and comfortable with beautiful views. Staff were friendly and location was suitable (walking distance to town).

Kristy Australia

Very convenient to have room key and everything already settled before you arrive, so that in the end nothing more is needed. Perfect stay, especially for the last night before flight.

Carola Germany

It was perfect for what we needed, a family friendly place by the airport. Bathrooms were clean and everything was really well taken care of.

Linnea United States of America

the place was very convenient for us, because we had an early flight back home, the guesthouse is 5 minutes driving from the airport. Very clean, everything is new, the kitchen is fully equipped, large and very nice. Each room has it's own enter code that you get in mail, very convenient. Looks like during our stay there were not so many people, so it was very quiet. good option if you need something close to the airport reasonable price (relatively to what we got in Iceland)

Maya Israel

Easy to find and close to the airport. Check in process was a breeze!!! Breakfast was good nothing fantastic but enough to fill your belly. Guesthouse also has a small fridge in the shared kitchen to store some of your items. Good overall place to stay for the price.

Samantha United States of America

Overall, it was very comfortable and the showers were clean. Seems to be a well-organized place. Also a nice view from the hilltop.

Company info

My name is Björgvin Sævarsson and I am the manager of Kef Guesthouse. I am running this guesthouse along with my family members as well as our great staff of course.

Property info

This house was a part of the USA army base in 1960 and was actually part of the airport. After that it became the district commissioners office as well as a police station. During its time as a police station an Icelandic strongman Reynir Sterki Leóson agreed on being heavily chained and handcuffed behind a closed cell door where he would attempt to brake out which by the way he managed to do in approximately 6 hrs which is just unbelievable! Due to the fact that the house has a story to tell and is a part of the history we decided to redesign & rebuild as a modern guesthouse & thereby holding on to the history for our guest to enjoy.

Neighborhood info

The Reykjanes Peninsula has plenty of interesting activities, not to mention the volcano Fagradalsfjall and the active/ongoing eruption at Geldingadalir, the world famous Blue Lagoon, the geothermal area of Gunnuhver as well as the Bridge between continents, Þorbjörn (Thorbjorn) the volcano, the Viking World museum and the Icelandic Museum of Rock & Roll, the lighthouse at Reykjanes and/or Garður (Garðskagi) which both are ideal locations for a walk on the beach or even more exciting aurora hunting during the winter season.
