Cute guesthouse
Great location but room was small for 3 adults. Lovely property location right on the sea! Had animals like horses and sheep nearby, and had breakfast for a fee. For 3 adults i would book 2 rooms or a suite next time.

Great surroundings, lovely views, clean and good tea selection. Needs a few more home comforts and updating i.e, TV, extra pillows, better food selection, mirror in the room, etc.

Staff was not very nice when we initially came in. Room smelled damp and was very warm (with no thermostat to control temperature). Parking was far from our actual room. No food options nearby, we had to drive over an hour to the next town for lunch. Personally would not stay here again.

Excellent property located in a quiet settlement 45 mins from Hofn. Very near to the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon. Great restaurant and breakfast. The rooms are a little old and needs some work. We were surprised by the lack of phone charging points near the bed. Other than that no complaints. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Amazing swathing views of the mountains and sea.

Nice place to spend the night. Friendly staff and because it is far from city lights, it is an excellent place to view the aurora. The room was spacious and clean.

Nice quiet location. The main house has four rooms upstairs and only one bathroom. That bathroom does not have a separate shower but a soaking tub with a handheld shower head. The kitchen is in a separate building that contains a Kitchen/family room and bathroom ( with shower) on the first floor and bedrooms upstairs. The rooms and facilities are nice and clean.

Great stay!
Clean, organized, simple, the host was very welcoming and helpful. The guesthouse has all you need (food, drinks and warmth) when away from civilization. It’s also located first line to the sea.

Fantastic views from the chalet, good breakfast. The chalet had very limited facilities but was very clean and warm. The stay was spoilt by discovering on arrival that one of the two rooms confirmed had been sold to someone else forcing us to share a room that we did dot wish to do.

Perfect place to stay after time spent at the lagoon. We had a cabin room, no frills but it was clean and convenient.
