Great View Guesthouse - Jódísartún 4 is set in Eyjafjaroarsveit and has a plunge pool and lake views. The accommodation features a spa bath and a hot tub.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE! Hands down, this was my FAVOURITE place of all the guesthouses I stayed in in Iceland. Heck, I'd come back to Iceland just to make a visit to this place. Where do I even begin with describing why I loved it so much? For starters, the hosts were absolutely splendid. Very hospital and welcoming, very warm and friendly. Thor and Ivar were the cutest couple, like a nice lovely grandma-grandpa duo. They were kind enough to let us use their washer and dryer (which they don't normally do), they chatted with us (about Icelandic politics and economy, about the state of youth, about worldly affairs etc.), shared about their family with us, gave us little bites of food they cooked, prepared an absolutely lovely and homely breakfast for us, gave us roadtrip recommendations... I couldn't bear to leave them :( Secondly, the HOUSE! Goodness gracious me, the house was a real marvel. Ivar had built it from scratch himself (I loved hearing him tell us the story of how he did it), and the worksmanship is truly impeccable! The house was spacious yet warm and cosy at the same time, and the design of the house was very tasteful. You can tell they have really taken care of it, as everything was spick and span, kept in good order, with little pictures and ornaments around from the couple's family, travels, past stories etc. It helps too that the view of the snowy mountains from their house is just incredible! Thirdly, we were so incredibly lucky to have been able to catch the Northern Lights there, which was really the cherry on top. We were also lucky to have been the only guests who booked their house at that time, so we got the whole house and all the facetime with the hosts to ourselves :D Beware, they close for winter, so if you're planning to visit here, go in the warmer seasons!

Guesthouse Pétursborg has sea views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Akureyri, 41 km from Godafoss Waterfall. Guests staying at this guest house have access to a patio.

The guesthouse was close to Akureyri (8 - 10 minute) drive. The cottage was clean and easy checkin checkout instructions, in our checkout it was nice that we saw the farm chicken. Great experience overall and would definitely recommend.

Nicely placed, close to Akureyri and Mývatn. I had not gotten the key box code when I got there, but a quick call to the "reception" solved that issue perfectly. Thanks for the stay!

    Super friendly hosts. They warmly welcomed us and took their time to socialise with the guests. As both hosts being locals, they could tell us a lot about the living in Iceland. In the morning we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with local products and even homemade bread. The room and the gigantic bathroom were spotless.
