    Heba and her husband were so friendly. They are great hosts and we feel very welcomed. We also learned about Iceland and Icelandic stories. The location is only 15 minutes drive from Selfoss. Easy to visit the golden circle.

    Great seaside location, close to south coast sights and Golden Circle. Rooms are warm and cozy and tastefully decorated with original art. Hosts were kind, considerate, extremely knowledgeable about Iceland’s history and culture and eager to share these with us. Breakfast food was delicious (homemade bread!) and plentiful. Perfect combination of a staying in a family setting yet having privacy and space to ourselves.

    We had a lovely stay at Guesthouse Heba. We stayed 2 nights. Heba and Kristjan are great hosts. Breakfast was delicious, with homemade breads and a moment to learn more about Iceland’s stories. We highly recommend it. And will come back.

    We had a really nice time at Heba and Kristjan's accommodation. You are greeted with an open heart, exciting stories about pictures and objects in the house are told during the tour to the room and at breakfast there are always individual tips for the day's tour. The breakfast consists of very tasty local food, the bathroom and rooms are very clean and the bed is comfortable. I would best describe our stay as a visit to our dear grandparents. If you have the chance, grab a room for a few nights.

    Absolutely everything was great. The location near the sea, the view from the rooms, the comfortable bed, the very clean bathroom, the breakfast (the bread is great, thank you Heba) which was prepared with love....but what we appreciated most, was Heba and her husband. They had lots of very interesting stories about Iceland and its history, about Elves and Trolls, about what to do when the weather is good and when the weather is bad.... Absolutely fantastic, I would give more than 10 points, but unfortunately it is not possible.

    Nothing, truly a wonderful place for the two nights we were there.

    If you have a few days to linger while in Iceland, this is certainly the place to do it. Had I known how wonderful it would be, I would have planned to spend more time here. First, We had the room with the balcony overlooking the sea. No it’s not a “beach” for sunbathing and typical seaside activities (too rocky) but I spent hours reading and writing drinking coffee and tea watching as the tide came in and out. Next, the hosts. It’s like staying with the family that you love to visit. Lastly, the breakfast. The bread is fresh baked every day, and they will make sure you have had your fill. It is the perfect place to recharge and highly recommend!

    Everything was great, but since our stay was 7 days, I did miss eating eggs for breakfast.

    Breakfast was great. There were several options to choose from and more than enough to eat. We really enjoyed the homemade bread. The room was clean and the view from the bedroom was great as well. Heba and Kristan are great hosts; very friendly and accommodating.

    nothing - the stay was great - beware that the rooms are on the second floor if mobility is an issue.

    A beautiful home on the sea - very comfortable rooms (we had a small balcony with a view of the ocean - a perfect spot to relax), spacious bathroom upstairs and a second full bath downstairs, excellent breakfast - hosts were gracious and gave us a lot of great advice - - went to the Westman Islands to see puffins (75 minute drive to the ferry)! Got a mini history lesson about the area and the host's family. The town is charming and 10 minutes from Selfoss where there are shops / restaurants; Also, a bird sanctuary is a 5-10 minute drive from the guest house on Route 34.

    We only had four nights there, and then left to continue our holiday.

    We had a wonderful stay at Guesthouse Heba. The owners are so kind and attentive to every need, and want to make your stay the best they can. You stay in a family home, and are made to feel a part of the family. Super breakfast - don’t miss the home-made bread. We would recommend staying here to any visitors to the area.

    Friendly and very hospitable house owners. Excellent breakfast with home made bread, served in a very nice athmosphere. We received useful guideance for our trip the next day, what to see and how to get there, etc. We also had a friendly discussion with the hosts about the house, the history of different interior pieces and decorations, most of them hand made by the ancestors. Absolutely heart-warming and friendly home!

    Almost nothing

    Lovely family guesthouse near Selfoss, on a coastline around 1hr drive to KEF airport or Reykjavik. The host, Heba and Kristjan are super friendly in everything, Heba guided us through the house with lots of very lovely artpiece and ceramics she and her family made. The dining room was also very Islandic style. We felt totally at home. Another thing to mention is the next day when we drive out, the car shows low tyre pressure warning. Kristjan kindly walked out to help us check the issue, and told us it was probably due to low temperature during the night. It was no more warning once we are on the road. We appreciate the hospitality of Heba / Kristjan couple and they are really making everything felt at home at this place.

    wishing we had a long stay with Heba

    what can I say, our stay with Heba was simply amazing. We loved her stories and the room was also very special. Heba is a great host, we had freshly baked bread in the morning accompanied with travel advice, recommendations and a lopl at their family histories and ancestors. We can't wait to stay with Heba again on our next Icelandic adventure !!
