While the property is safe, there were too many spiders in the room. If you are scared of them, this may not be a place to sleep.

We thought this place had a decent room and shared kitchen area, although only one out of the two stoves turned on when my husband and I were cooking. The shared bathroom situation was a bit of a challenge for me since I'm in my third trimester, and to get there I had to go through three doors and a brightly lit hallway in the middle of the night. All in all, it's a good place to sleep if you can get through the night without having to pee.

The code was sent to us in the afternoon on the day of our check-in. (We read multiple reviews saying they did not receive the code, so we were concerned, but we didnt have any issue!). The room was spacious for four people. Blackout curtains worked really well. The shower room was close by, and there were washers as well (we did not use it). Kitchen was kept clean, and we were able to warm up our food in microwaves, and keep food in the fridge overnight. Overall, a very excellent stay. Thank you!

Stayed here for the 2nd night during our Iceland trip on the way back to Reykjavik. The code for self-check in was sent the day before. We were in the exact same room again. The room was clean, the shower room worked well, the kitchen was spacious and equipped with two sets of everything (sinks, ovens, stoves, microwaves, fridges, etc). Spacious dining areas with plenty of tables and chairs. Our room was really warm (June) without even turning on the heater. We actually needed to keep the window open to stay cool. The room had nice blackout curtains as well. A little sink in the room was super convenient. Overall, an excellent guesthouse. Thank you!

The accommodations themselves were nice, but the space likely needed more care than an off-site manager. The women's restroom had two stalls, both of which did not have toilet paper accessible from the dispensers. No other backup toiletpaper was available. No paper towels were available for drying hands at the sink. The kitchen had no dishsoap for the communal dishes. All of these things were brought up via the hotels.com chat to the hotel, and no response was received during our stay there. The shower areas had a single body-gel/soap product and did not have standard shampoo/conditioner/soap as separate products. Bring shower shoes if you don't want to step on the common shower floor. The beds were comfortable, room had enough space compared to other rooms we had stayed in in Iceland so it was nice to be able to to open the suitcase and still step around it.

We are a family of 3 with a small child traveling. Finding the room upon arrival was difficult, our room was though the kitchen on the other side and there is no one there to help you. The room itself was clean. There is two numbers to be able to contact the staff, neither worked. Staff was unreachable during our 2 night stay. The toilet closest to us needed to be cleaned, the floor in the bathroom was dirty with used tp all over. There was no soap on the hand soap dispenser. The shower closest to us, the door was broke and you couldn't shut it, it also doesn't drain so the whole floor was flooded after one use. We messages management about this as well and got no response. Literally it was missing the bottom hinge. The other bathroom available had no soap or toilet paper available either day. The floor needed to be cleaned in the common kitchen area as well. Please do yourself a favor and sleep somewhere else.

The room was fairly clean, but the sink was a bit dirty in the room. But the washroom and kitchen were clean. As well, I was not sent the code for my room until I messaged the Hotel, so ensure you get the code beforehand. Otherwise, it was good for the cost, there is no staff at the hotel though.

Given the other reviews we stressed about checking in. Phoned 6 times, emailed twice, messaged through Expedia 4 times. No answer until around 4.30pm. Then just the room and code. No acknowledgement of attempts to contact. But code did work. Otherwise the place was good. Nice room large than expected Large kitchen with 2 hobs and ovens. 2 fridges.

The staff ignored my request to receive the code until about an hour after check in. I called but they don't pick up the phone, at which point I threw up my hands and said "forget it", went to another hotel. Don't trust them.

Terrible experience. You have to phone to get your room number and key code, but the phone number was wrong in the email 6 digits instead of seven). I found the right number in another email but I never got an answer. Not that it mattered. I want to the property - you can just walk in - and found that the key code entrance for my room had been ripped off and replaced with a key lock (fortunately not locked). The front door doesn't open fully and slammed shut with spring-loaded force, pushing me to the ground. The toilet paper dispensers were locked, making toilet paper inaccessible. The room smelled of disinfectant. Just a bad experience all around.
