    The scenery! It was so beautiful. Love falling asleep next to a stream, hearing the water through the night. With a view of the night sky above me.

    Everything was warm and inviting, Lola and Laurent and the Igluhus itself! came in the winter and enjoyed our stay immensely. If you are waiting to check it I suggest you take a look at Dalvik or surrounding areas as well. Everything about this...

    Location was next to stream, very peaceful and beautiful. Hostess was very nice. Northern Lights were on our bucket list while in Iceland and this place was where we saw them for the first time

    The view/area was AMAZING! The place was so cute! It had what we needed (I camp so I was fine with the camping toilet in the little shed- it's the size of a normal toilet). It has jars of usable water over a sink (that drained into a container)....

CAUTION: no running water or shower.
My partner Laurent and I decided to try the Icelandic Adventure in summer 2018. We left France to come try out life in this small fishing village, Árskógssandur (litt. "The wooded river leading to the beach ") on the banks of Eyjafjörður. For a whole year we have been busy welcoming travelers in the house we occupied and in the igloo-hut. Conquered by this little piece of paradise and benefiting from this year of experience, we decided to settle ourselves permanently. We have thus taken over the bnb business, renamed L&L Guest-House & Iglúhús to our own account in September 2019. Since then, we have endeavored to maintain a quality of service that meets the expectations of our travelers, in line with our values, concerned about the respect of all - including the planet. We are open and eager to share with the travelers who meet us on their journey and we will do our best to make your stay a reflection of Iceland: magical. We strive to improve the facilities and enrich the stay of our travelers progressively.
