We really liked our room. It was very big and warm. The bed was comfortable and I liked that there was a coat rack. The view out of the window was beautiful.

David

Everything was very nice. The room was clean and very big. There was enough space for an additional baby bed inside. The host are very very kindly and did all they can to make us have a comfortable stay at their house. Thanks a lot for all!

Florian Germany

Breakfast was delicious. Common areas were spacious. Rooms had own toilet/shower.

Linda Hong Kong

Nice place on the main road but very quiet. Room was very new and clean. Great shower and confortable beds. Good International breakfast with fresh products

Marina Italy

Lovely comfortable room. Great shower, comfy bed, quality bed linen. Basic deco and my personal opinion, perhaps they are putting the "finishing touches" bit by bit. No TVs if that's important to you, but a social area for tea and coffee plus pool table, darts and big screen for any TV watchers. Great breakfast and good selection if you want an evening meal.

Michael United Kingdom

It was a great community place- staff was very kind full of young people. Great value for money, appropriate breakfast and the reception served as a cafe, bar / restaurant. Gas station was directly in front of the place (not in a disturbing way). Tea, coffee was available for guests at all times as well as water boiler. We arrived late and we received quick response about check in.

Monika and Halldór
SAXA is a cozy, family run guesthouse with private bathrooms in the beautiful Eastern fjords of Iceland.
We're Monika and Halldór, a Polish/Icelandic mountain loving duo that in May 2021 decided to pack their bags, move from capital region to the beautiful East of Iceland, buy a guesthouse and café and here we are. We have big dreams and big plans for this place for the future, so whether you're a native or a tourist, stop by and let us be a part of your adventure!
We have café and bar on site. The world famous stone collection of Petra is located only 350 meters (1.150 feet) from the property as well as craft market literally next door. There's also many hiking trails all around the fjord and supposedly "the most beautiful valley in whole Iceland". Can't say we don't agree :)
