Lock in a great price for Saxa Guesthouse - rated 8.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

Great clean place to stay the night when driving for many hours.

Jose, Switzerland

Great host. Super clean with comfy beds and an amazing rain shower head. Complimentary tea and coffee and cup-a-soups. Really good home cooked food at restaurant. Lots of public space to use.

Mb, Australia

The owner is so kind, and helpful There is a cosy leaving room and tv room

Yohan, Australia

the host was really nice, we arrived at the property at 2 am and he met us there for the check in. The place was spartan with tiny rooms ( I stayed in a single room although the doubles were good sized). it had everything necessary for a good night's sleep. super clean and with a functional bathroom. Good breakfast with home made bread and cakes. It's on the main road in the village so easy to get to and perfect stop for who is travelling along the Ring Road.

Antonella, Italy

Very friendly host. Beautiful recently refurbished room. Excellent shower room. Good cafe on site. We loved it here. Fresh home made bread for breakfast - the nicest bread our son has ever tasted!!

Sally, United Kingdom

Clean room with private bathroom. Room was a bit bigger than the standard, with also two sofas. Chance to have dinner (good and the prices are in line with the Icelandic ones) and breakfast.

Paola, Italy

The staff was amazing, assisted us with everything we needed. The stay was very pleasant and rooms lovely. Everything very clean. We would definitely stay there again.

Thordis, Iceland

The owner of the guesthouse was incredibly nice and gentle to me. The room was clean and quiet and the guesthouse has a beautiful position almost in front of the sea.

Marcocappuccini, Germany

comfortable bed! Big spacious room and bathroom. Clean.

Maria, Canada

We were pretty late, but it wasn't a problem for the host who let us in :) - Thank you! :). Our room was very clean, and we also bought a breakfast that was very good. For us perfect place to stay.

“He stayed up late to let us in, which was very nice. Rooms were Clean and Cozy, there is a relaxing open area to set in, with a big table for doing work if needed. Beautiful location, out of the way and worth it. There is instant coffee available anytime, but to get real coffee you have to go to the coffee shop which is not open all the time.”

“Saxa moved us to another hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Several days before arriving, we received a message from the hotel saying they had a problem and would need to book us at another hotel. The substitute hotel was fine, but we met other people there who had also been booked at Saxa and had also been moved. We had actually driven by Saxa on the way to the other hotel and saw people entering the hotel, so am guessing Saxa had overbooked.

눉Our triple room was located outside the common area thus it is need to go outside to reach the living room... It might be OK with a nice weather but the day we stayed was rainy and windy thus it is not really practice to use the common place at all.
눇independent bathroom, tasty home made food. The town is beautiful!
