extremely welcoming, the hot shower was just amazing (we didn’t try the hot tub but we’ll be back for sure)

I was having a little trouble connecting to the wifi. But I didn't need it much so it wasn't a pressing issue.

Such a unique and cozy stay! I loved all the artwork and Ragnar's stories really added so much depth to the experience. The gallery was clean, warm, and comfy, and the outdoor shower was very fun! Ragnar is also a wonderful host and was so welcoming and helpful.

Restroom was in owner's home next door which was a little weird but Ragnar and his daughter were both kind and friendly so it was fine.

Very unusual stay in an art gallery showcasing a single artist who is quite talented and had a few standout works. Fridge and sink in the space and plenty of seating. Bed was comfortable. 10 minutes to airport and 20 from blue lagoon made this the perfect stop on our last night.

Ragnar is a great host and the art gallery room is amazing! It's also a great position for the Airport

nothing

It's a treasure to stay and it was definitely our highlight of accommodations in Iceland. The room is huge and full of art and memories. Make sure to meet the host and his family to learn more about the history of the drawings and the place. It's such a welcoming family who wants to make sure that you've everything you need while staying. We also had the privilege to get a free lift to the airport very early in the morning.

Nothing to do with the AirBNB was bad. Perhaps some info on public transportation would be good for future guests, as we ended up walking back to the airport.

We greatly appreciated Ragnar's willingness to pick us up after we arrived. The art in the room was beautiful and the beds were comfortable.

The bathroom - it is in a main house

It is the most unusual place we have ever stayed in - but we have stayed in very many places! We really liked it. It was great to spent a night in a place where a great artist was creating his paintings... It was great to meet Ragnar, the nephew of the artist and the owner of this lively accomodation, who told us interesting stories about his talented uncle.

Wi-Fi signal was so weak that in reality there was none. could not get the very large and modern TV to show anything that was just TV

that we were staying in an art museum

The shared kitchen was not clean and the shared bathroom is small and far from the room.

1. The customer cannot select the check-in time, based on my case. Only when the host is available, he sends the possible check-in time HE wants and FORCED the customer to follow his schedule. In my case, he told me 3:30pm is available for check-in at first since he will be at home then. Next, he forced me to check-in at 8:00pm since he will be back for dinner. Check-in time of 18:00-00:00 at the booking.com is not correct. Should be fixed by Booking.com. 2. The host is so rude and arrogant. Although the check-in was already done by her daughter and a lady at 5:30pm, when he came home, he smashed the door of my room very loudly at ~8pm while I was talking about future travel schedule with my wife. I thought a criminal broke into my room then. And then, Without introducing who he is, he asked me 'who did the check-in?' and 'how did I get the key?', just like a policeman investigates a criminal. I have never met this kind of rude and arrogant host in any BnBs, hostels or hotels. He has to learn service-mind in this rent business. ** After this review, he sent me inappropriate remarks on Asians (especially Chinese), which will be officially reported and complained to Booking.com since they can be considered as racism and discrimination. 3. The room was originally a garage of the house, not a normal room. Frankly speaking, I could not sleep at all and got up at 2am. I left earlier. 4. There were 3 spaces for parking inside the house. But they were occupied by his family on that day. I have to park my car on the road. If something happens on the rented car, it may not covered by insurance depending on the policy. 5. Wi-fi is not working in the garage room although they said it is, because it is far from the modem inside the house. The lady told me that Wi-fi might be working around the entrance door of the room as it is a little closer to the modem, but it did not work in my case. This is everything I experienced there.

1. Close to the airport and affordable price. 2. I got the full refund from Booking.com due to the host's inappropriate remark, his unacceptable attitude, and poor facilities that are quite different from the explanations on the ad. 3. <<< Future and previous customers ! >>> If you have any complaints on this house, contact the customer service team of Booking.com and officially send your complaints in more detail. Then, they will refund you fully and give the host the limitation and punishment from Booking.com. << Keep in mind ! >> Contact the customer service team of Booking.com. Don't be calm any more.

The owner is a bully - see attached screenshots of his text messages. The toilet is in the main house, where the owner lives with his family (as are all facilities - kitchen, bathroom, washing machine). I was told that the family house would be unlocked for using the bathroom and toilet, but it wasn't - and the owner and his wife had gone away. As soon as I realized the house was locked, I tried to reach him, but he didn't respond, and neither did Booking customer service. When I finally got hold of the owners, the NEXT DAY, and complained, having had to use paper containers to pee, he was incredibly rude, calling me a "drama queen". To make my frustration greater, when I contacted Booking, multiple times, to complain about the insane experience, they said they can't do anything about it, because the owner didn't respond to their communication. So, however terrible your experience with the accommodation/host is, Booking will wash their hands off it, as they're just "a third-party booking platform": you are basically using them at your own peril, don't count on any kind of protection, or sanctions against the host, however they may behave. (They offered me 25 EUR as compensation for this experience, which I can only laugh about).

The place was close to the airport, and that's the only good thing about it.

the host was very awkward and made us feel uncomfortable

is a very original place

Stayed in February 2024

The host wanted us to arrive at certain time, when he would be there. We adjusted our plans accordingly. However, when we arrived, the host was not there. When we called him, he told us that due to double booking, we must stay the night in his wife’s/girl friend’s apartment. She then toiok us to her place. I paid for a night in artist’s studio, but ended up sleeping in a flat in old American garrison

Clean

Stayed in August 2023

Bathroom and advertised kitchen in the main house. Felt a bad walking into someone else’s house.

Cheap for Iceland, very close to the airport if you have an early flight. Kettle, fridge and microwave available in the room. Big space. Very cool art.
