Nothing much. Maybe it was a little pricey, but hey for all the perks and benefits that we reaped from this place, I was happy to pay. Just something to note for the more cost conscious folks!

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!

We have no complaints, however it would be useful if the fridge in the guest kitchen had a freezer.

This is a beautiful property, with warm and welcoming hosts. The home is clean, modern and has all of the amenities we were looking for. The views from the backyard are spectacular, and the sitting area outside has a hot tub, comfy seats, and an area to eat. There is a separate kitchen for guests to use to prepare their own meals or to store things in the fridge. The living room inside is beautifully decorated and very comfortable for relaxing. Breakfast in the morning is delicious, with homemade breads and lots of choices for something to eat. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this property to anyone who will be staying in the Akureyri area.

Very friendly family, great location with a stunning view and lovely walks from the door and easy access to so much.

We were satisfied with all aspects of our stay.

The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming. The breakfast had everything you could want and more. This was an ideal place to rest and relax for two weary travelers. The property is very well maintained, clean and decorated with many interesting pieces of art. The environment feels cozy and homey, yet the rooms are private and quiet.

The road that leads to the house, drive with caution.

The Hosts! They were very nice, friendly and they give you privacy! The Guesthouse is a beautiful house, it felt like you were visiting friends. Breakfast is also very good.

The only thing would be bigger signage on the road.

The breakfast was superb, even homemade bread and kiwis! The house is filled with carvings and woodwork done by the owner. The house is very spacious.

Pillows could have been a bit more substantial, but they were good enough.

Location pretty close into town a very nice home with a beautiful view out the back of the house. Our hosts were wonderful and the overall accommodations were the best we had on our travel on the Ring Road. The hosts were also very informative regarding things to do in Akureyri and the northwest region. We would highly recommend to anyone.

Absolutely loved my stay here! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the stylish decor, modern amenities, and stunning views of the city. The attention to detail was impeccable, from the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy and comfortable bedding. The location couldn't have been more perfect. The host was incredibly accommodating and provided helpful recommendations with a warm heart. Thank you for letting us to your home.

Great house and very nice host

The property is a beautiful house, a little bit south of Akureyri (about a 10 Minute drive) , and it was one of the best homestays I have been in! The hosts are very nice. There are 3-4 guest rooms but each room is soundproofed and we also got lucky with respectful guests. We slept very well. Beds were comfortable, and they had provided an extra pillow per person as well. The bathroom was shared but it was luxurious! Breakfast was quite sumptuous with some excellent home baked bread and other baked goods, eggs, fruit … everything you might need to start your day. We had some trouble with our travel adapter but our host came to the rescue. Our hosts also kindly recommended an excellent and less known stop on our way to Egilsstadir. Oh, and the house comes with the cutest and most well-behaved dog, Chris! Lovely, lovely house and very nice people!
