“Nice location in the countryside---close to nature attractions”
Location in the country side---reasonable close to a lot of waterfalls/tourist sites to visit. The room was small, but comfortable.

Very nice property for good money. Place was clean, warm even in a bad weather. Well equipped with all amenities you need for a stay. The lady, probably the owner, was very nice and kind upon our arrival and she showed us everything. Definitely recommend this place.

We booked one double bed appartment. It was clean and spacious and included both sleeping and sitting area. The kitchen was fully equipped, so there was a chance to prepare meals. Close to the ring road no. 1 and many other attractions. The owner was polite and super helpful.

We had a wonderful staying in Fagrahlíd. The location of the guesthouse is amazing, near the ring road and close to every important spot of the area, the view from the apartment was spectacular. The owner is fantastic, she really made us feel at home and she cooked us a rich and tasty breakfast. It was a very wanderful experience, really recommended.

“Good location for stay between Golden Circle and heading east on Ring Road”
Convenient location after a day around the Golden Circle before setting off on the rest of the Ring Road. Too late to book breakfast on arrival (shame as homemade breads and jams sound lovely), but big supermarket not far away. Review for bigger room than we had booked (studio) due to misunderstanding on arrival of other guests - simple, spacious living area and good kitchen, bed and bedding very warm and comfortable, and a kind host.

“Good location and lovely hostess, but be sure to check which apartment you are booking.”
We stayed in the smallest apartment under the house. This is not very big, but good for a stay of one or two days. Friendly hostess. The apartment was a bit noisy due to the footsteps from the apartments above (wooden floor), but actually we were not bothered by it (will depend on the other guests though). Good base to explore the area around Vik.
