Very nice guest house, however, I wish they had some sort of sign to say bg4 guesthouse, the front door has another name. But lovely once we got inside and the location could not be easier for dinner and the town square!

Once I figure out ten parking situation this location was actually quite good, the center circle was loud at night but I had ear plugs. Construction of the downstairs began at 9 am so if you want to sleep in choose wisely

Many nearby food options. Comfortable bed. Would have been nice to have a cover for the overall fixture rather than bare lightbulbs. Overall, however, the property was acceptable.

The kitchen was near unusable as the toaster oven needed a towel wedged in the door to keep it close, the sink was leaking all over the counter so the toaster and extension cords were sitting in water and there was no where to sit, only one person could fit in the kitchen it was so small

Nice room, excellent location and would book again. No staff on premises, self check in. Finding it was difficult because it does not say BG4 Guesthouse on the building. It would be helpful if instructions menitoned the house is actually called Hrafninn Guesthouse.

Not at all what was expected, severely misrepresented. For the "romantic double room" the toilet ran all night and cistern leaked on the floor (was not able to turn the tap off either), the sink backed constantly. No clear direction on how to enter the property, this was advertise as "receptionstaff will greet you on arrival", I had to call for instruction and the person stated he had not actually been onsite so was not sure what I was describing or asking (he was lovely to speak with though) I did notify via email of both not able to access the property and of the running toilet - no response to date received. Could not get live tv on the tv, and was not able to access anything via the tv. I wasn't expecting a 5 star resort, however, I was at least expecting smooth entry into the property and a non running and leaking toilet.

I did not like the apartment at all. The door handle fell off into two pieces one on the bathroom side and other on the bedroom side of the door. I got locked in the bathroom and my wife on the bedroom side. Took us 15 or 20 minutes to put the handle together thru the hole for the handle and to get it working again. The TV did not work at all!! No breakfast was offered. I did not not see or talk to a live person. Only furnished us a combination to the apartment by text message. Terrible experience. Expedia should not list the apartment to your customers. Terrible!!!!!

En general estuvo bien, aunque hay varias cosas que mejorar. El estado del cuarto estaba algo viejo y el baño tampoco estaba en muy buen estado, deberían mejorar las cortinas para los meses que no oscurece.

먼저 이 게스트하우스 건물 정면에 BG4라는 간판이 보이지 않아서 네비게이션이 다왔다는 멘트가 있었으나 어디가 BG4인지 알 수 없어 고생이 많았음. 또 리셉션엔 아무도 없어서 잘 못 선택한 기분이었음.
