The place was very cute and clean. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was exceptional. Breakfast is more than just toast and cereal. Would and probably will stay here again. Saw whales just down the road several times.

Never saw a staff member, but then we did not need one. Everything was great and right on the water. Great view. Bring your own food as it's a drive to town to get anything.

Very happy with the accommodation and fine dining options. Excellent breakfast buffet, coffee and tea in lounge areas. Walking distance to a community pool and hot tub as well as the ocean front hot pots. There is no communal kitchen access during the summer months when the dining room is open.

The Malarhorn Guesthouse was a lovely spot to spend the night. Very nice room (and big!), very friendly and helpful staff, good food in the restaurant in a tiny little town. We could have happily stayed a few more days.

I would stay elsewhere.

The Malarhorn Guesthouse was an OK place to stay. The breakfast was great. The room was clean and comfortable. The location in Drangsnes was not my favorite in the Westfjords. The view when walking was beautiful when looking towards the water. I would not make the additional drive out to Drangsnes nor would I stay at the Guesthouse. That being said- the people were lovely and kind.

Clean units, feels very new. Room was comfortable. They have a restaurant on site and they’ll do your laundry for a nominal fee. Staff is very hospitable. Travelocity mis-communicated the amenities. Some rooms have a shared kitchen, others don’t. Recommend calling ahead to ask staff, which room you have if you’re hoping to use a kitchen.

This was my best room so far in Iceland of 5 nights traveling around to a different location each day. Delicious halibut dinner. Top quality. Staff were eager to help & friendly. Gave me excellent tips for viewing Aurora Borealis. Saw them from midnight to 1 am. While having breakfast, watched humpback whales spouting & breaching in the distance. New & super clean public hot poos beside accommodations. I had the pool & hot tubs to myself I would highly recommend this place!!!

Nice little seaside town. The sounds of the ocean and seagulls were relaxing. Our unit was wonderfully staged with an inviting dining and living room. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking as well. Only issue was that the inside handle to the bathroom was broken and we needed help to get out. Also there was only one shower for 4 shared rooms, which could be a problem if all rooms were occupied. Host was very sweet and the price was right for Icelandic standards.

Basic hotel. Comfortable beds. Feels like being in a cabin in the woods even though one is by the sea. Good breakfast and friendly staff. The water smells and tastes of sulphur.
