“A wonderful stay in a rustic location.”
One of the best stays during our road trip across Iceland. This is thoughtfully made and decorated guesthouse with very nice facilities. It's is in a relatively remote and quiet location. It has quality toiletries, fitments and wonderful linen. The only crib would be that the lights in the room could be brighter, otherwise Room 10 was Fabulous. The common kitchen and dining/TV room was useful for our cooking & dining. The compact hot tub & sauna with a lovely rustic background was a delight to use. This guesthouse is a benchmark for owners of other places, we stayed at and rated lower. Happy to recommend to other travellers.

“Cool country side guesthouse”
Karuna Guesthouse was lovely. It is literally in the middle of nowhere, but it has everything for a good sleep. Parking, shared kitchen and living room. Hot tub and sauna that we didn't try. The room was small but enough and had a sink. And the shared bathroom was clean. Very quiet place.

Clean, orderly guesthouse, highlight was free breakfast with generous breakfast offerings - value for money for similar guesthouses in EUR110-140 price range Christine, staff who greeted us at check-in was lovely, so is young lady who prepped breakfast.. Breakfast cum guest lounge area was spacious & cozy, plenty dining space & comfortable sofas for guests, right sized for guest capacity. Thank you Karuna Staff!

“Great stop to replenish on the ring road driving holiday!”
The bed was very comfortable! The hot tub, sauna and kitchen were all very clean and great to use. There was a complimentary breakfast which was a surprise and very good. The common area was big and spacious, very pleasant to hang around.

“Great accomodation, included breakfast and lovely staff”
The overall accomodation was great especially for the price in comparison to other accomodation in iceland. The included meal for breakfast was also good value for money and they assisted with dietary requirements. The facilities were very clean and room size was very large. Shower pressure was also amazing! The owner and the majority of the staff were lovely also. Would definitely come back and recommend to others!

The place was exceptional, the best hostel we stayed in in Iceland and, in general, anywhere we went in last years. The common areas were great, spacious and beautiful. Everything very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was ok.

“The perfect stay in Iceland”
Karuna is the best guesthouse we've been in Iceland. The room is beautiful and very large; the toilet is large too and warm. Common areas are beautiful and spacious, probably the kitchen is not very large but it is not an issue. The breakfast was very nice, just like other breakfasts we had in Iceland. Just outside our room, there were a hot tub and a beautiful sauna (60-70°C)

“Cosy Guest house in a beautiful surroundings”
Very clean and cosy apartment situated in a very beautiful location. The Breakfast is complimentary which was more than expected. The homemade cinnamon cake was very delicious 😋. A well-equipped kitchen helps you to cook basic food which we were very glad about. We used the sauna and hot tub with a beautiful view of the mountains ⛰️. Thank you for everything.
