    A lovely, rural guesthouse run by welcoming and friendly Icelandic farming folk who obviously have many talents. The room was very comfortable, the house authentic and quaint, and breakfast was superb. Thank you!

    Better signage on the road/entrance.

    Very local unassuming exterior. Use gps as it’s not marked on the road. Looks like a farm, which it is. Good breakfast, and friendly couple operators. Very good value.

    The only slight downside would be that soundproofing between rooms is minimal.

    This place is absolutely charming! The property is magical, with stunning views and farm animals wandering around. The rooms have plenty of space, and ours had its own sink which was very convenient. The BnB also had 2 showers, which meant minimal waiting. Gudrun was a lovely host and offered extensive breakfast options. I hope to go back when I return to Iceland!

    The breakfast was fine but nothing to write home about.

    The view of the glacier was unbeatable. I wanted to stay in a rustic place and it was an old farmhouse that has many bedrooms and one bathroom for the floor. We were late in the summer so there was no dinner so we had to rush to Höfn to get something to eat. Which all turned out fine. I wish I could have stayed another night and gotten a better chance to enjoy the location.

    The sink faucet for cold water was not working it was free. We burnt our hand. When complained while checking out, the owner first accepted and said he would check, and in a minute, he came back saying we must have done something which might have broken it. Why would we do that? Very poor response.

    Very well maintained. Great location with great scenery.

    Beautiful place, nice rooms and there is also the possibility of using the kitchen on the ground floor; the view of the glaciers in the distance is majestic and the location in the park allows for beautiful walks in the surrounding area.

    Staying only one night

    This place is really our favourite in our trip in Iceland: you really have the feeling of experiencing local life, in a real Icelandic house managed by local people. The house itself is rustic but very curated in the details and really welcoming and warm. We loved our room as well as the big and warm shared bathroom. The authentic furniture and details added an extra touch! The restaurant and brewery are simply amazing, both in the dinner and breakfast proposals: if you stay in this guesthouse, make sure to eat here! Thank you!!

    Very expensive stay just for a night of sleep. All places in that area are equally expensive.

    Excellent location with 3 glaciers in your backyard. Nice cottage with fully equipped kitchen and laundry. They have a good restaurant on site if you can reach on time for the dinner that closes at 8pm. Host is very responsive and a nice lady. Good break fast especially for vegetarian people. Location is close to Glacier,Ice burgs and diamond beach.

    In our apartment four rooms shared a bathroom. Our rooms were adjacent to that so every event in the bathroom could be heard clearly. The walls are so thin that you could hear conversations in the next room or be startled by any louder movement.

    Beautiful natural environment on a real farm with lots of animals. The staff was very kind. The breakfast was tasty and plentiful. Good value for money.

    • Stayed 1 night

    The digs are pretty basic, out of sync with the setting and the context. The shower needs an upgrade too. However, this is the middle of nowhere and there are still recovering from floods, so the family has hard investment decisions to make. Please stay here, but limit your expectations.

    The accommodation is a converted home on a farmstead at the bottom of a retreated glacier. A characterful restaurant, with live music, operates from mid-June to September - we missed it by a week. The brewery that used to be on the premises has closed but its owner supplies the restaurant with beer from his new brewery in Höfn, up the way. The flock of hippy sheep that line the road off the highway, are the coolest in all of Iceland.

    Realize busy season, just wish we could have had a continental breakfast, or a beer in the meal area. Beautiful place!

    The check in was great, awesome owner, even played us a song on his piano. Really made us feel welcome. I loved it 2 years ago, and when I knew I was going to Iceland again, made sure to book again.

    Kitchen was poorly equiped and not comfortable to use, dishes weren't well cleaned and pans were old and sticky, the fridge is super small. I didn't enjoy the bathroom since it was super small, but it is acceptable.

    Considering that this is a farm, staying here was quite nice. Rooms are clean, kind owner, bunch of super cute animals to enjoy, enough parking space, great location, nice view, lovely nature around the house.

    Only the size of the smallest room because all four of us had suitcases, but the apartment is so spacious that you can store your things in the main hall. Maybe a family with kids would be better suited than 2 couples.

    We stayed in the cottage apartment, it was four of us so me and my partner stayed in the smallest bedroom which wasn't ideal and the other couple had the bigger bedroom. Ours was really cute and had a window with such a nice view. The apartment was large with an amazing front view as well, was really well equipped & clean. Was the first apartment that we stayed that had kitchen paper available as long as some breakfast products, which you tend to forget how essential they are when you are circling Iceland. Landlord was really polite and fun to talk to and he gave us permission to walk around his beautiful farm and we saw sheep and a beautiful sunset. There was also laundry room available which is a huge plus.

    The host couldn't find the key in one of the rooms and wanted to charge our credit card for replacing it. We agreed to it, but when the host found the key, they forgot to mention it to us.

    The check in process was smooth, and hassle free. Although the lock is a bit rusty, we managed it rightly. The kitchen was clean, and it had everything we needed for a night.
