Good location for the golden circle, relatively close to Selfoss, guesthouse clean and comfortable, good to be able to have use of a kitchen. Would stay again Only downsides was kitchen was missing oven trays and the kettle was temperamental as to whether it worked. Bed linens were also quite thin and seemed quite old

This place was just what i needed to escape the crowds. Clean, quiet, great floor plan, plenty of shared space. Fully stocked kitchen had oil and spices, coffee and tea. Cute horses live next door. Hot tub was sublime. The bed was super comfy, hot shower. I cannot reccommend enough!!

The host is a fantastic person. We were kind of lost, instead of the guesthouse we were at the apartments and fortunately we met the host at the apartments. She took us to the guesthouse - driving alongside us, provided us with food items and her daughter-in-law provided with list of place to see. Rooms were great. Best part was the cleanliness. We were provided with house slippers. There were 2 dogs that were friendly and greeted the visitors..fantastic and loved it a lot. Thanks!

What an excellent place to stay — warm, spacious, cosy, clean, and well equipped! We enjoyed the guesthouse very much. The elderly lady who welcomed us was extremely kind and courteous. Our only regret is that we stayed for just one night. We wish the owner all the best and 1000% recommend this place! Thanks a lot!
