A TV and a refrigerator would make the guesthouse even better.
Stayed one night here and loved the vibe & feel of the cabins.
Staff were friendly & courteous.
To top it off, I got to witness the start of Iceland’s ‘réttir’, which was truly amazing.
The breakfast, however, was continental and basic compared to other hotels I stayed at during my 17-day trip to Iceland.
We stayed in a triple. It was so cute and clean. Tiny bathroom. Slept well. Breakfast was lacking and not great but we loved our cabin! Great location after our glacier hike headed back towards Vik.
Cozy cabin that was very clean and beautiful property, too bad it rained the entire time of our visit. Had supper at the restaurant and it was excellent, also enjoyed the fresh baked bread for breakfast.
for a double bed and shared bathroom: smaller quarters but clean and bright. easy to find and beautiful location, with very friendly guesthouse staff. we didn't get to have dinner there, but the nearby kjarr is very pleasant, with nice waterfall views. for a continental breakfast at the guesthouse, the breakfast was quite good.
The cabins we’re comfortable and located on an idyllic setting. The dinner was phenomenal (we had the lamb). It was the best meal on our trip! The breakfast was included and was cold choices but delicious. Would highly recommend!
This property is a little way off the Ring road, but very quiet. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. They do serve dinner there,however we did not eat at the guesthouse.
We were disappointed to find that for almost twice the cost of our previous accommodation in Hofn the shared bathroom was small. One of our party of three could not fit in the shower cubicle. Room eas small but warm, comfortable and cosy. We HATE the late check in times in Iceland. 3pm or later. Had to ask for extra pillows. 3 yrips to reception in the rain. No roof on the entranceway of the cabin.
Beautiful setting. Rustic but nice cabins. Nice breakfast and we had a good dinner there. We were travelling with our adult daughter and the cabin had two big beds which was nice but having at least a curtain to draw over one of them would have been nice. Also was a little pricey vs other places we stayed with more creature comforts. Overall though a nice place with very nice staff.
The entire property drips rustic charm. Cabins are spotless and comfortable, and the main breakfast area is very clean and comfortable. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed 2 nights and used this property as a base for exploring this part of the country.
