Enjoyed our stay , it is really beautifully located and well maintained. There are cute sheep you can feed and pet that my son enjoyed looking at. Its super close to big attractions like skogafoss and Dyrholaey Beach. There is a restaurant right across the street that is incredibly convenient. Beds were not that comfortable but overall a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay here. The beds were so comfortable and the room was very clean. We ate dinner at their restaurant across the road and had the best Icelandic cod. Bathrooms were clean and shower was nice. I would recommend this place to a friend.

Good place to stay

Good place to stay, clean and comfortable. Shared space is convenient. Decent location considering it is a small town with few options. However 20-30 min drive into heart of Vik. No gas/stores closer

Lovely place to stay. Similar to a hostel but everyone staying here were quiet and friendly. One star removes due to the duvet being uncomfortable, was quite rough against my skin. Otherwise, would come back!

Great Spot to Stay!

Great place to stay while seeing Iceland. The building itself is fairly modernized inside. We had two windows which kept banging open at night due to the strong winds, but otherwise it was comfortable and quiet. They even provided bread to feed to the nearby sheep!

South Iceland Guesthouse was a great stop for the price! Situated on a beautiful farm underneath the mountains, it was gorgeous scenery all around. Our room was very small but clean and beds were comfortable. The shared bathrooms were good sized and clean. The family restaurant across the street was delicious!
