This is a very basic place to stay. Definitely overpriced for the stay, but it's a fine place to lay your head for a night.

Good enough. But I would look for a different place next time.

It was a nice place. Bedroom was cozy and the sink in the room was a bonus.

Paid a lot of money for an old and run-down accommodation. Take another accommodation!

The accommodation is by no means worth the price paid. Everything is old and run down. The last renovation was a few years ago. There was almost no water from the shower in the shared bathroom. Relaxation on vacation looks different.

Really lovely place with super kind lady at the reception and nice views! The rooms were comfy and very clean; the guesthouse is in a nice and quiet location just 20 minutes from Vík. For sure worth recommending!

Not recommended

The room was tiny and really smelly. Both suitcases opened on the floor, and you had barely space left to walk. There were stickers on the walls as a decoration, but they were mostly loose, and someones hair was hanging there. Every time we opened the door of our room, it closed with a slam. This way, you knew about the presence of all other guests too. The shower/WC was shared with many people, and after someone showered, it was flooded because it was built so that the water couldn't flow away. From the evening till late morning there was no toilet paper in the toilets. The price was way too expensive. Breakfast was not included but could be added for about 55€ for 2 persons. There was a microwave and a little fridge at the end of a corridor and no area to prepare your own food. It's definitely the worst stay we had on our round-trip. Would recommend driving a bit further. Sellfoss has great places to stay. If you still want to visit, bring your own toilet paper.

We won’t come back for sure

Position not so comfortable, extremely expensive for a very basic service, staff nearly don’t speak and the hairdryer wasn’t working. Very low water pressure (almost not possible to take a shower), extremely overpriced.
