This is guesthouse with simple room facilities, but it was clean, and most importantly, we managed to see the aurora from our room itself so that was great! It was also worth it to get the mountain facing rooms - the view would have been very different as the other set of rooms face the carpark.

This was truly an unexpected and very pleasant surprise! I stayed there with my 3 children and we were all enchanted by the charm of the place. The chalet we stayed in was comfortable, clean and the decor was extremely tasteful. Unfortunately we didn't stay long. We arrived at night and left early the next day. However, we had time for a quick breakfast before departure. The restaurant was a real “pearl”! The various musical instruments and all the other details made our eyes shine! The owners were very friendly and cordial. It was expensive, but we would definitely recommend this property to those who appreciate good hospitality and careful attention to details.

The bed and pillows were comfortable - truly important on a long trip. Room and shower were warm enough. It was in a perfect location - close to many restaurants. The pantry was well-equipped with free-flow cereal! The full-height windows were great for us to admire the scenery when it started snowing.

The room was very nice and clean. Our booking was without breakfast but they offered us complimentary corn flakes and coffee. The guest house also had a tumble drier that we could use after our clothes got soaked in the rain. We had a very good stay here.

    The guesthouse has everything you need for a pleasant stay. In particular, we enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly and helpful hosts. The guesthouse is located at the starting point of a hike that we enjoyed thoroughly.

    The guesthouse was absolutely spotless, and felt like a warm clean haven after a rainy day on the ring road. The breakfast was lovely, with homemade baked goods, homemade smoked salmon and fresh waffles. The host couldn’t have been more welcoming!

    Everything about this guesthouse is great! The owner was icelandic and very friendly. She even let our friend to use the showers for free and sleep in her camper van on the property! The guesthouse is well equipped (2 shared bathrooms/restrooms!) and the breakfast was yummy, with homemade products. The bedroom was roomy, with comfy beds. Everything was clean and functionnal. The location is pretty quiet and the view is nice over the fields. You can see the ocean in the distance.
