    Beds are slightly lumpy and hard but to be expected with use over the years.

    Reynir was exactly what we needed whilst exploring the south coast, easy and clean and right in the middle of everything we wanted to visit. Kitchen facilities are excellent and showers and warm, good pressure and clean.

    One of the shower drains was blocked up. A lot of guests just washed their dishes and left them on the bench.

    The beds and bedding were comfy. The location to Vik & the nearby beach. Access to full kitchen and an oil/spices. Even though the accommodation had shared bathrooms and toilets the bedrooms had a sink.

    The sound proofing between the rooms was not good at all. A large Chinese group were staying there the first night we were there. The Chinese family next door were still on their native time zone and their children were still happily and very noisily playing at max intensity after midnight making it impossible for my family to go to sleep. In addition the Chinese group stole our food from the refrigerator next morning. Of course, this is not Guesthouse Reynir's fault, but if you are sensitive to noise this place might not be what you seek.

    Perfectly placed close to Vík and almost next to the famous beach Reynisfjara. Large space in the common area. Plenty of parking space for our car. Very good that outdoor shoes are not allowed worn inside.

    I was expecting a double bed but instead it was 2 single beds.

    Staff friendly and easy check in. The room was clean and the toilets/shower aldo (or as gods as you can expect from a shared bathroom). Kitchen with all the necessary utilities.

    The property is just a short ways away from Reynisfjara, and the view out of our windows in the morning was lovely. It was as advertised--pretty no-frills and not fancy by any means, but clean, comfortable, and we had everything we needed.

    A private bathroom and/or better sheets would have been more fitting for the price.

    Room was spacious and it has a sink inside the room, so it was easier than going to the sink in the bath room. Toilets and showers are separated, so it was convenient too.

    Said shared bath, thought it was with 2 other people, guess I didnt read carefully. expensive to share 2 toilets with 18 others, but it worked out, never had to wait. We did an early pm shower, so 3 showers would go around

    Nothing to dislike, but we booked a room advertised as having a bathroom. It actually only had a toilet and basin and we needed to use the common showers. They are very clean and we didn't mind using them, but felt it wasn't exactly as described on the listing.

    The location is absolutely superb and close to the main attractions of the area. Simple but super clean accommodation with a very well equiped kitchen and common area for self catering. Excellent value for money. Quiet and comfortable and the rooms on the coastal side have a spectacular view.

    Overpriced for what you get. I paid extra for the own bathroom - we received only half bathroom, the showers were shared. 10 rooms: 3 showers, 2 WC. Could be really tricky to use it at "popular times". Shared kitchen has only 1 sink, 1 fridge/freezer, 3 kitchen towels, not much kitchen working surface. You're supposed to dry plates etc with those kitchen towels provided. All 10 families.

    Close to Vik and glacier trips. Has basic kitchenware, some coffee/tea/sugar provided.
