This was a guesthouse where we were greeted by the owner as we drove up. She showed us our room, which was clean and comfortable. She also made wonderful pancakes for breakfast for everyone, it felt like a family meal. I would recommend to anyone wanting something other than the sterile hotel room experience.

The moment I walked in I felt I was at home. However, what made the experience is the host in the morning. Over coffee, I had a good conversation with the proprietor and he absolutely set my day off on the right foot. He was telling all about his personal experiences with the Eyjafjallajökull volcano and showed me a book and some personal photos. I also was able to ask some questions about like in general in the Skógafoss area. He also has the most friendly border collie a person could ever know. I delayed leaving in the morning because I so enjoyed the company plus the information. Please, if you are driving the south coast or the ring road, stop here for great conversation, and a homey feel. I have already decided that when I return to Iceland, I will make a point to stay here again. My favorite guest house I stayed in during my time in Iceland. Also, checking in is easy-you can come in at any time and they are ready. The breakfast with homemade pancakes was great! At least the night I was there, the guests were quiet but friendly in the morning. There are games and books available as well, and great views of the ocean and fields and mountains and Vestmannaeyjar island. And truly local advice. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!!!!

Si tratta di una piccola palazzina su due piani, facilmente raggiungibile dalla strada 1. La nostra camera al primo piano leggermente piccola e con il tetto spiovente ma sufficiente per la notte. Belli i bagni. Spazio comune e cucina al piano terra. I proprietari molto gentili e disponibili, al mattino vengono per preparare la colazione non fornitissima ma buona.

The owners of the guesthouse we're exceedingly friendly and cordial. However, the first night a couple were cooking some strange lamb stew that made the downstairs smelly. I think the other guests could have refrained from frying weird food.

Parfait !

Le séjour était vraiment génial. Les hôtes étaient très gentils et serviables, nous avons aussi eu un bon contact avec les autres clients avec qui nous avons pu échanger. L'ambiance était bon enfant et détendue. Nous y avons été bloqué durant une tempête et les propriétaires sont venus avec un réchaud le matin pour nous faire des pancakes (plus d'électricité) et réchauffer le café et le lait, ils nous ont dit que nous pouvions partir quand nous le voulions et ne pas respecter l'heure normale du check out vue les conditions exceptionnelles. La vue sur les montagnes derrière et totalement dégagée devant était incroyable, perdus au milieu de nulle part, c'était pour cette raison que nous l'avons choisis. Il y avait même des jumelles pour observer au loin et des livres sur l'Islande. La chambre était un peu petite mais douillette, le lit confortable, les couettes chaudes et les sanitaires propres. Je vous recommande vraiment cet endroit !

Cute farm style stay if you don't mind sharing

The location near Vik and the attractions are great. The host was very friendly. It had a welcoming farm feel to the stay. At the time we booked it was about the same price range as other self-contained cottages that we enjoyed a lot more, but I see the price has dropped a lot since. There were 7 rooms that shared 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. It meant when arriving waiting for two or three other guests to finish making their dinners first before being able to use the kitchen. In the morning, sharing of the 2 bathrooms turned into a very patient waiting game. Another guest stayed in the bathroom for an hour, despite knocking on the door to encourage them to be considerate to other guests. The rooms did seem well sound insolated so we were not bothered by noises from other guests (or they were also just quiet.)

La casa está aislada, pero a la vez bien situada. El check in se realiza por medio de una pizarra en el zaguán donde la dueña pone las normas de la casa y la habitación asignada. La casa es enorme y tiene una cocina completamente equipada, un salón bastante amplio y un buen número de habitaciones en dos plantas. La de abajo cuenta con un baño y la de arriba otro, que era enorme. El desayuno empezaba a las 8, pero realmente a las 8 empezaron a prepararlo, por lo que prácticamente todos los huéspedes nos servimos en la cocina y nos llevamos al comedor lo que queríamos desayunar.

1st night in Iceland

The Raudafell 1 was our first night stay in Iceland. It is centrally located to view the area waterfalls n iconic DC-3 on the beach. Carla made us feel at home by preparing pancakes (breakfast) for the folks staying at the Guesthouse. We also learned about some history of Iceland before she had to makeready for the new arrivals. Great stay!

Would go somewhere else next time

There’s no freezer so if you have any frozen food then good luck with that. There’s only 2 bathrooms for 8 rooms and people are constantly trying to open the door without knocking. Also there’s no towel so expect to be very wet after shower if you did not bring your own. There is a door in the shower place that’s connected to outside and there’s a storm the night we stayed and the wind kept howling into the shower area and it was freezing...the shower hose is auto stop every like 10 seconds so I have to keep pressing on the knob while trying to shower....very inconvenient....and the room is the smallest I’ve ever stayed out of the whole 11 days in Iceland
