    What we didn't like: - The room was a bit smaller and with 2 suitcases in it got crowded really fast. It's ok for short stays, we stayed for 2 nights.

    What we liked: - breakfast - they had salmon with herbs and a delicious tuna salad - the house is located outside Selfoss town in a quiet and wild area - no outdoor shoes inside policy to keep the dirt and mud at the door - although there was a guesthouse with shared bathrooms, we had a sink in the room.

    For us it was just to sleep, have a breakfast and go. We had there everything, what we needed. Breakfast was very good. There were dark enough in our room to sleep well.

    Nothing

    The hosts are very friendly and welcoming and charming. The guest house is spacious and well situated, not far from the attractions (glacier, waterfalls, volcano...). The breakfast is copious and hearty, exactly what you need for Icelandic hiking trips and weather. A very nice stay, the best we had in Iceland.

    Nothing, everything was amazing, maybe only rooms were little bit smaller, but in comparison to what we´ve paid it was very enough.

    The level of cleanliness was amazing also in shared space. There was absolute quiet inside and outside the guesthouse. Breakfast was rich and with many options every day.

    The only disadvantage we could think of waa the rather high temperature in the room...

    Great place to be! This former women's prison is run by a very nice young couple since one year and they're really making a great effort to upgrade. The room is quite small (but hey, it was a prison), but all shared facilities (kitchen, multiple batrooms, etc.) are great. Breakfast is amazing and staff is super friendly! Great spot to start the Golden Circle. Close to Selfoss.

    Great location for a stay in between activities/traveling but I would have booked it for my whole trip if I stayed in Reykjavik. Everything was just great and breakfast was excellent, didn't really miss out on anything. And on top of that you had really nice staff.❤️

    The place was nice and cozy. I appreciated that they asked to remove shoes in the lobby, as it was very pleasant that floors stayed clean even with many guests and the muddy weather we had during our stay. Also, a plus was, that there was a small fridge available for customers as well as some candies & coffee/tea available in cozy common living rooms. The place was basic, so nothing fancy, but very cozy. Breakfast was good and had everything we needed to start the day. The staff was very friendly.

    One private showerroom to share with over 4 rooms upstairs is a bit limited, especially for something as basic as washing your teeth. There's a few more communal showerrooms downstairs in the cellar area but it's less convenient as it's 2 floors down.

    Excellent breakfast, excellent host. The room was comfortable with a nice view. There is a small tea/coffee facilities area that is very convenient. Shower rooms are fully equipped with hairdryer, cotton pads, q-tips, etc.
