“Calm and magnificent environment, welcoming owners, great accommodations. A nice Iceland experience.”
Quiet and calm environment close to the sea, excellent accommodations, welcoming owners. A good experience of Iceland life in a remote area. Magnificent location but a precision: there is a 5+ kms of bumpy earth road to reach the house. Therefore, would advise to bring food for the diner as the back and forth road to go to a restaurant (30 minutes drive to the nearby town) might be a tiring exercise especially by night.

Kolkuos is a little bit magical. It's miles away from anywhere and right on the beach - the photos really don't do it justice. The house has been beautifully renovated and the rooms are light, cosy and comfortable. We had a beautiful view of the sea. Breakfast was great and it was lovely to sit in the common space in the evening.

Spectacular location, although Google maps was not helpful in getting us there. Be sure to take the shortest road .. Kolkuos to get there.

“Hidden Gem 💎 in Iceland”
Located in one of the amazing places near the beach. A cozy room with nice hospitality from the owner. We were the first Sri Lankans and probably the first visitors from South Asia to visit this place. Current owner has done some super transformation to the old house which was built over a century ago.

“Incredibly beautiful guesthouse in a remote bay”
Incredibly located guesthouse in a very calm bay right at the beach. Amazing host, great breakfast and beautifully renovated house. Since the place is rather remote, we would recommend to ask the host for suggestions regarding hikes, museums, activities. He nows the area incredibly well and recommend just the right activities! The guesthouse is the perfect place to experience wildlife, especially coastal birds.

Very unique location right at the beach, which produces the most spectacular sunsets. Takes a bit of a drive and is therefore a little secluded but very well worth it. Amenities all very clean and kitchen well equipped. Breakfast was heavenly especially the homemade pancakes. Staff was also very friendly and helpful

“Incredible stay”
In fact, it's even hard to find correct words to describe our stay at this beautiful & unique house. Stay at Kolkuos house was one of the main highlight from our trip in Iceland. It's absolutely unique experience. Everything was more than perfect. The house inside is very beautiful, comfortable, super clean, stunning view from the window. I would love to stay much more longer there, because this house has some magic energetic. The feel is definitely like at the end of the world, very calm, relax & cozy.

“Spendid isolation at the "end of the world"!”
A beautiful guest house in a beautiful location with an amiable and attentive host! What a great find! Unfortunately we could only stay 1 night on our tour around Iceland, but it was enough to appreciate how special this place is! And we saw the aurora borealis for the first time there! Be prepared for a 6km drive along a rough track and a little peaceful isolation from the rest of the world......a great plus point for us. Very useful to be able to use the kitchen to prepare a meal. Thank you Valgeir for creating this place, for the nice breakfast and for the stimulating conversation!

“Stay here for an unforgettable experience”
The location is simply stunning. If you like beautiful scenery away from everything, this is the place to stay. The house itself is amazing and the rooms are lovely and spacious. We were lucky as the night was clear when we stayed there and we had the opportunity to see the northern lights which added to what was already a very special experience. I visited Iceland three times and stayed in various places and this was hands down my favourite.

During our trip to Iceland we always saw isolated houses, true retreats, and we wondered what it's like to live here! If you want to know, then book this hotel! It is a perfect place to see what life is like in a house with only the sound of nature! It doesn't have WiFi and it does very well. Take a book, go down to the living room and read. - no wifi here talk to each other - also the house takes you to another decade!

Stunning location, if a little off beaten track. Would be useful to know this. Room clean. Kitchen unexpected bonus - no mention on website.
