Wonderful stay!

Loved the breakfast and quick and easy check-in process. The surroundings were beautiful and the nearby farm provided a nice opportunity to come close to horses.

We liked the guesthouse. It was quiet and the breakfast was great. We got lucky and watched some Northern Lights, very little light pollution within the area. Everything was clean and in good condition.

Shower was so small and it opened in the corner so that you have to enter it sideways. Breakfast was not typical. Luncheon meat and dried out bread were served. Shared space was loud with younger crowd up all night. Bed was two twin beds pushed together that separated when slept on. Definitely over priced for a single night stay.

clean room, comfortable bed and breakfast. space is very limited, but doable for the type of travel we did. The only negative was the shared shower needed to be updated. Otherwise a great stay, we looked for the northern lights. Common area provided microwave, refrigerator and tea/coffee

Good location if travelling through southern Iceland. Only issue is that the shower could be a tight fight if you are larger than average size.

Great location to see the South of Iceland. Good accommodation and healthy breakfast with variety. We stayed in the main building annexing the cafe. Avoid the lower floor room if possible since the slightest movement on the upper floor was resonating in our room until late night and again early morning.

Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber. Es gab kein riesiges Frühstück, aber wir hatten alles, was es brauchte und wurden gut satt. Dafür ist es ein kleines gemütliches Haus und sehr ruhig. Wir würden auch wieder buchen, wenn wir noch einmal in Island wären. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was our least favorite stay on our 11 day trip. The facility and the rooms are really run-down and are just not worth the price paid. The breakfast was mediocre and we did not appreciate being filmed during breakfast and having every guest asked what room they are in so they can charge you a full meal cost if you take a cracker to eat later. They also are very unorganized, stating they had no reservation for us and then finding it 5 minutes later.
