    Basic stopover accommodation, good value for money, and a good kitchen means you don't have to eat out - Iceland is very expensive for food.

    Someone entered the PIN to my lock and opened the door at 930 in the morning while I was laying in bed... They closed the door as I looked up so I have no idea what happened but they didn't knock or anything. Very strange, especially since check out is at 11. I was obviously not happy about that at all.

    It was fine, nice enough place.

    The room was too small, no outlets next to the bed. Needs extra hooks on the walls

    The location was good, walking distance to restaurants and supermarket. Very clean kitchen and the facilities in general

    There was a weird chambermaid speaking only russian and acting quite unwelcoming. The process of automatic check in is a bit of a hassle.

    Pretty nice and clean, some kitchen appliances could use some maintenance, but it's nothing serious. All in all its definitely worth the money.

    Room was really rather small, not much room for 2 people to move around if you have more luggage.

    Nice, clean room with a sink in it, shared kitchen and bathroom were in a good condition and clean.

    Good place to spend a night or two.
    • Leisure trip

    Despite relatively new, some equipment (kitchen especially) is already worn out a bit. One of two stoves already did not function (we stayed there roughly a week ago before this stay, and it was still working) - so perhaps this was temporary. Also, there could be more hangers & hooks in rooms and perhaps a common space where cloths could be dried (since this is the likely start/finish place for famous Landmannalaugar trek).

    Modern facility. Large enough shared kitchen/seating space. Spacious rooms. Coffee machine to use for free :-) Would definitely stay here again.

    When large groups arrive the rest & coopking area gets crowded and as well toilets/bathroom, as these are only 2 for the full guesthouse.

    Clean simple guesthouse with good equipment for cooking, dinning area and free coffee machine. Good location just few minutes from swimming pool, grocery store or restaurants.

    Host was not nice. Rooms were dirty and not ready. She moved us to different rooms. Then at 10am tried kicking us out.

    Our room was not ready, and was not cleaned. We were moved to a different building. We had 3 rooms. Everything was ok, however, the receptionist was not friendly. She was rude on the phone. She came and woke us up at 10am. Told us, we needed to leave. However, checkout was 11AM.

    2 power outages (affecting phone, so you couldn't call managers), bathrooms intermittently smelled bad, our room was double-booked (we had to call for a new room, then the next night someone else tried entering our room with the same problem)

    The kitchen was a great feature, as was nearness to store and bakery. Local phone was also good, parking easy.

    There are no towel racks or anything like that. Seems like a minor inconvenience but becomes a major problem when there’s four of you with wet clothes, shoes, towels and only one curtain rail to dry everything.

    Clean, warm, comfortable. Everything you want for your money.
