This was the first time I stayed in a hotel with a shared bathroom. I was wary at first, but it turned out to be a pleasant experience. We never had to wait when we needed to use it. Breakfast was average. Friendly staff at checked in.

Loved this guest house! It was so cute! We were initially a little worried about the shared bathroom but we never had any issues or ever had to wait for a bathroom to be open. The breakfast that is included was amazing and the staff was so nice. Highly recommend!

This property is well maintained and very clean. The room we had was very small, and I did not realize that we did not have a bathroom in the room just a sink. There were toilets down the hall and separate shower rooms. These were very clean and well maintained. Excellent water pressure - just be aware that you do not have a bathroom in the room. The setup is more like a very nice dormitory with a common area with a refrigerator and microwave. If that is what you are looking for, this is a very nice place but the rooms are small. The food for dinner and breakfast was fine. Parking is easy.

We loved staying here. Paulina and Tomic were very friendly and had helpful tips for traveling around Iceland (how to check road and weather conditions). The lamb dinner was outstanding! And the breakfast had many different dishes to choose from. Everything was very clean and the kitchen in the guest house was well stocked. It’s about 20+ minutes west of Vik. We would stay here again.
