Restaurant across the street was good and very accommodating to us arriving late. Everyone we interacted with at the restaurant and guesthouse were welcoming.

Tyler United States of America

EVERYTHING!!!!!!! the building is so unassuming (it looks like an abandoned insurance property) but when you walk in, you are greeted with charm and comfort! The rooms are IMMACULATE, three bathrooms were very convenient, the bedding and blackout curtains were thoughtful and comfortable, having the sheep in the yard was ridiculously cute and going across the street to the property’s restaurant gave me the best meal of my life (curry vegetables and homemade bread and an aperol spritz). If those things don’t fill you with glee, the views will! you’re surrounded by sky high cliffs, rolling green fields and hundreds of baby farm animals. I didn’t want to leave. I loved it here so much!

Tess United States of America

Very clean, cozy and situated in a spectacular place! ++++ Floor heating! ++++ big plus.

Raducs Germany

Nice, newer place, was clean. It had very nice shared facilities and the room was a good size. Nice, clean bathrooms.

Bethany United States of America

matresses are really comfortable, the kitchen （living room） is wonderful

Yunfan Germany

Location was a perfect stop to start the ring road journey from the south. Clean and comfy beds, beautiful views of the mountains in the back of the guesthouse.

Celz922 United States of America

Room was reasonably spacious. Beds were comfortable, though I didn't like the textured duvet and pillowcases. Common space was clean, and kitchen was well supplied with dishes, pots, etc. Simple breakfasts (bread, cheese, hard boiled eggs, cereal, apples). 3 bathrooms meant we never had to wait for a toilet despite a full guesthouse. Good light-darkening shades in room. Not under their control, but fellow guests were super friendly and quiet.

Stacey United States of America

Great location, very close to Skogar, Seljalandsfoss. Friendly staff. Cute cottage (sumarhus) with 4 comfortable beds, we were happy to have separate beds for our 2 children. Small but functional bathroom, shower was larger than other cottages we stayed at. We ate one dinner and one breakfast at the restaurant, Gamla Fjosid, it was very good.

Philip United States of America

It's a great Guesthouse with good value for your money. Everything is very clean and I even got a free room upgrade! The view from the kitchen is amezing.

Thijs Netherlands

Lots of delicious food for breakfast, good location, serene surroundings

  • Hi, would it be possible to reach your place without a car? We're thinking of traveling by bus from Reykjavik, would that be possible?
    Yes you have to take the bus to Höfn í Hornafirði. But you have to ask the driver to let you out at Steinar ( the restaurant Gamla fjósið) that is about 2 hours from Reykjavík.
