Unbelievable views and tranquil location. We had a family room with bunkbeds, as well as two other beds and it was so spacious. My favourite part of the guest house was the great room, somewhere you can relax watch TV and have breakfast. The owners are incredibly hospitable and very responsive to our queries. We highly recommend this guest house for travels in northern Iceland.

Amazing property and great service . One of the best properties I stayed at during my 8 day trip where I was staying at a different place each day . They provide free breakfast and also have hot tub on the property where I can see the mountains while sitting in the hot tub. If it was possible to give more than 5 stars I would give it. Hands down one of the nicest property .

Good clean property for one night stay. We used the kitchen to cook a simple dinner since we checked in rather late and don’t want to drive another 14KM to the nearest town for dinner. The staffs are very friendly. We were told at check in time that the continental breakfast is included in the price which is a nice surprise. Overall, we had a great stay and definitely recommend it.

Very nice hotel in beautiful location! The views in and around were incredible. Mountains to both sides with incredible views even in the breakfast room. We were there when the day was 22 hours long, at the night it was still pretty bright, and the blackout shades were not great at achieving actual darkness in the room. This is a problem we had with 5 of 6 of the hotels we stayed at in Iceland, so not atypical. Sauna and hot tub, both had nice views, were also very nice. The many farm animals were friendly.

Karuna is in a very quiet quiet area. There's a vast land and mountain ranges behind the property. There's a beautiful restaurant in the property. There's also a common kitchen, equipped with everything you'll need. Our room was very spacious. It looks like a newly constructed place, or just well maintained. It has a home-y feel. It also has a hot tub and sauna facing the mountains. It's a good place to stargaze and try to find Aurora. Although it was cloudy that night, so no luck for us. We'll definitely go back if I happen to be around the area again.
