Excellent service & lovely location.

This was booked very last minute - i.e. the night before - after a change of holiday schedule. There was some confusion at the hotel about our two cabins resulting in one cabin being given away to another late booking by mistake. The staff were super helpful and apologetic, found us another room and only charged for one cabin. This place was simple, clean and charming. Thank you!

A pleasant place to sleep

The place was empty and there was no one to receive us when we first arrived, but I called on the phone written on the door and the manager came in no more than 5 minutes. Gave a full explanation and left us inside. Told us where everything was, and how to use the door (since it has an automatic lock system). By the morning I couldn't leave the key to the manager for we left really early, but it seems there was no problem about it. We visited on the second week of October, and the restaurant was already closed, also there were no other services available, but since we only wanted a place to sleep it was ok with us. I'll be sure to come back and experience the full of it, but so far, everything was great.

We stayed in a guest house. Beds very comfortable, and I appreciated that the house had two bathrooms for 5 of us! It was a nice luxury in Iceland.
