Great place. Large room, Icelandic “double” room (two single beds put together). Large shared kitchen and a good location in town. My only complaint is that the smoke alarm went off at 2AM for no reason and stopped after about 15 seconds so my sleep wasn’t great

Location was great. We got lucky and had a room with a view of Kirkjufell out our window. Room and bathroom is small. Kitchen and frig downstairs that everyone could use. Tables too which was nice. It was clean and communication from the host for check-in, etc was really good. You never saw anyone though.

The property was clean and well located. The room was very small and when any other room used the shower or flushed the toilet you could hear the water rushing over head (ceiling above). The water rushing sound was loud. Otherwise good.

We really enjoyed our stay overall, however the room was very warm and the one window we could open a few inches had to be propped to stay open. The room was clean. Loved the communal kitchen and dining area.
