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.

An excellent guesthouse! We stayed here on the way back from Jokulsarlon. kirkjubæjarklaustur is only about 10min drive away, with lots of dining options. The room was spacious and clean. We had a room with a private bathroom, which was really convenient. The room stayed really warm, and we couldn't keep the window open wide enough to stay cool during the night... Breakfast was excellent!

Great place

2 nights here, we enjoyed the community feel — it was a nice middle ground between a hostel and a hotel. The rooms were spacious for 3 people with clean and comfortable beds. Breakfast was very convenient and we loved the overall vibe of the place. The cherry on top was getting to see our first Aurora of the trip, really clear and gorgeous from here.
