to get started.

This place was amazing. The staff were really friendly and took great care of us. The view was incredible, right next to the Greenland Sea. The building is a standalone little white house, perched on the side of a hill, all by itself. Never stayed anywhere like this before in my life. The rooms are small, but quaint, and there is a decent-sized common area with good coffee and tea. Breakfast was fresh, prepared right before we ate.

Amazing location .Great sunset. Friendly and helpful staff! Very nice breakfast in a large room with a beautiful view of the sea. Sharing a bathroom was no problem.

Barry

This place had it all: - Very friendly staff and really good breakfast and fish soup - A top location in the north with one of the most beatifull landscapes in Iceland - Cozy rooms, which were better decorated than all other places we stayed. - It has its own kind of charm - Perfect distance to Husavik - The owner even recommended a place to spot puffins where we also saw a whale without a stupid whale watching tour Definitly want to come again! We even got a T-Shirt to remind us of this great place.

This guesthouse was a hidden gem just a little ways from Húsavík. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The fish soup dinner and the breakfast were both absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed sitting out on the terrace area or by the window with a cup of coffee and enjoying the view of the sea. Our hosts were very gracious, friendly, and considerate, and they helped with questions we had about our plans and activities.

The host was very friendly and accommodating. We arrived around 7-8 in the evening and she brewed a fresh pot of coffee for us. The room was clean and very nicely decorated. The breakfast was nice.

Doug

What a gorgeous spot this is. The staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. Breakfast was a traditional Icelandic spread, eaten in a room overlooking the ocean.

Harriet

The guesthouse is perfect. It’s located right on a bay. It’s decorated beautifully with bay/boats/fishing theme. The room we stayed in had a view of the bay and the decoration was beautiful, bed super comfy and warm.

Karla

United States of America

We were upgraded to a better room on the first floor, with a large window viewing the ocean and the mountains - beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay. It is a unique place, quite and secluded, and beautifully designed. The staff and the owner were very nice, and it was clean.

Dina

Absolutely LOVED this guesthouse. The location is perfectly situated right on the beach. My husband and I ate dinner on the porch while watching the sunset. The staff was incredible and kept track of our expenses during our stay so we didn’t have to worry about paying after every meal/drink. Talked with the owner as well. Our favorite place in Iceland! We’ll definitely be back!

Martin Varga

The house called Tungulending was first used to process lumpfish caviar. It was build in the 1950s and was in operation until the year 2000. It has a long history in icelandic fishing culture and still today it is possible to feel the former importance of this place. In 2013 I have decided to rebuild the house, but keep the original atmosphere. Tungulending Guesthouse is located in a very special surrounding. With the pier and old harbor area it still reminds the old days and past use of the building.

I am a 39 year old German living in the North of Iceland since 2006. It is fascinating for me to operate my own guesthouse. All work which has been done to rebuild and open Tungulending Guesthouse was created and followed up by me and in cooperation with friends. I am deeply connected to the building and surrounding and have spend about 5 years of my life only to build up Tungulending Guesthouse.

Amazing surrounding. Pure nature. It is very special to find a place for a guesthouse so close to the North Atlantic Ocean. Tungulending Guesthouse is in a remote area, it feels like beeing in a bubble. Peaceful and friendly. Our neighbours are ducks, sea birds, sometimes seals and even whales are possible to see from time to time.

A little hard to get to - you have to drive 2 miles down a gravel road, and get out of the car to open and close a gate behind you. It kind of adds to the charm, but it's not the most convenient. Also, check in time was a little late (1500).

The most beautiful location and beautiful guesthouse. You have to drive down a hill on a cliff to get down to the hotel - would personally recommend getting in before sunset so you can catch the sunset and not do that drive in the dark.

The guesthouse is located in an incredible spot just north of Husavik, at the base of the coastal cliffs. You are totally secluded, are within a stones throw of the water, and the house even has a pier/jetty. The owners were incredibly friendly & accommodating, and make one of the meanest fish soup's I've ever had. Without question, my favourite place I have stayed at in Iceland and I will be coming back.

The best place to stay at north Iceland. It was our second time here and it was great as before. Location is perfect (close to Husavik) and the bed-view is fantastic, i really love the sound of waves the whole night. We really love the caffe, tasty dinner, great wine, design of the guesthouse and lovely stuff. I can highly recommend Tungulending. The best Icelandic guesthouse at all.

Only one small comment - your coffee quality needs definitely improvement - at least according to middle European standard 😉
Every small detail fits to the rest. This small guesthouse is a real small gem. The renovation and change to a new purpose was well thought and executed. The rooms are comfortable and fitting to their purpose. Every room has a different appearance. The beds are very comfortable and the mattresses really good. I never saw shared bathrooms that neatly and immediately cleaned. Great job! The owner and his team are outstanding nice and helpful. Breakfast is fine and f you’re lucky you can even enjoy the terrace by the sea. We saw whales passing by during breakfast - what an experience!

I can't think of anything I did not like. I would not change the place, the scenery or the way the place is run.
This is the place where on arrival you think ' I will want to return here ' and by the time you leave you are sure that you want to come back. This is quite a rare reaction for me as I always want to find new places but Tungulending will live on in my mind as such a wonderful and special location. The ethos and environment are so in tune and it is a cleansing and unique place to spend time and just 'to be'.
