A decent option for a one-night stay and serves its purpose. The room was simple, and the bathrooms and toilets are shared with many other guests. The kitchen is well equipped.

The guesthouse is clean and well facilitated. A staff was friendly and kindly let us checked in a few hours early when rooms were ready. However, FYI, the guesthouse is on a first floor without lift.

“Great”
Great place to stay when exploring the surrounding. Large kitchen but there were many rooms to accommodate so it was quite busy but we managed.

“Great place for a stop over”
Very clean, enough space in the kitchen and dining room, not noisy even when our room was next to the kitchen. Friendly staff and easy to access.

“Ocean front “do it yourself” paradise”
Excellent location next to ocean with parking and walking distance to Laki tours. Our room had sea views and that was really relaxing. We were able to cook our own food and breakfast and they offered free coffee and tea. Space was really clean and well organized. Atmosphere was calm and elegant . Staff was really friendly giving advice what to do in the village and beyond. We really enjoyed our experience.

“Convenient stay with a private bathroom”
Having a private bathroom was a huge plus compared to the shared options, even if it was super basic. The shared kitchen upstairs is well-stocked with everything you need (just bring your own paper towels!), and having the parking lot right outside the door was very convenient.

This was essentially a hostel but the views were amazing of the ocean; it was not busy at all in March when we were there and there is a nice kitchen and large communal bathrooms. The person who checked us in was very friendly

“Stylish space with gorgeous views”
The space is beautiful and spacious. It far exceeded my expectations. And the views are incredible - even the bathrooms gave views. Wonderful seating area and kitchen, some great lounge spaces too. It was super clean and the beds are very comfortable. The staff were very kind, friendly and helpful with info about the area and checking in on travel knowing storms had caused some difficulties on the roads.
