    The staff was great! They even looked up weather and road conditions to help us get an idea for our journey ahead. Breakfast (in their lovely dining area) had several choices. Shared showers were on the first floor and were very clean. Our room was large and had a table and chairs and comfortable beds. A shared bathroom was right outside our door. At the front door of the guesthouse was a basket of slippers and blue booties to slip over your shoes if you didn't want to leave them on the rack. The location was also great- right off the ring road and up the street from the Soup Company and Lava Show (wish we had had time to go!), and black sand beaches and waterfalls are not far. I would have enjoyed staying longer!

    Perfection!! Nothing bad

    Amazing location with a beautiful view. The guesthouse is beautiful and very clean. We were able to sleep through the night since there was no loud noises. A wonderful family room with a lot of space.

    Beds were clean but floor was not. Bathrooms could be more well appointed. Breakfast pricey for what was available.

    Loved the “family” room- large open room with nice picture windows overlooking the ocean. Very peaceful. Lots of bathrooms, clean.

    It’s a great location in Vik - a short walk from everything else in the town. The bathroom/kitchen facilities are shared but they’re very well kept, clean and always available. The room was comfy and warm and generally quiet and it was easy to park outside.

    There's a kitchen, but no pots, so you can't really cook anything (not evn coffee), but there are plates and cutlery available.

    It was a little bit confusing, where the entrance is :D They offered breakfast as extra but we found it too expensive. It should be included. Maybe the room could have been bigger (there was only a double bed with a small table and chair) but it was not too bad.

    Our favourite was the common sitting area. Incredible view, stylish and cozy! You can relax or eat there. Beautiful location. The staff was very friendly, laid back and helpful. Our room was fine, right next to it you had a bathroom and toilet. We liked that though they were shared, there were enough bathrooms and toilets, you had no problems waiting. The common kitchen was also good. Many parking spaces. You don't have to necessarily take your shoes off, there are some shoe bags to use. We found this often useful!

    The stay at Guesthouse Carina was like staying over at a friends', or a family member's house. As soon as I stepped in the door, I got homey vibes and my room really exceeded my expectations. My room was on the ground floor between one toilet and one bathroom which I thought was great, and all bathrooms and the toilet were clean and inviting. I did hear people talk outside the door, but not to a degree that it was disturbing me. There was a pair of ear plugs on the shelf, so it seems they are aware that some guests are more disturbed by people talking outside their doors. I hadn't booked my stay to include breakfast initially, but on the day of check-in I got an offer to book breakfast for 1900 ISK, so I did. The breakfast was served in the glass patio, which has a beautiful view of Vik and the black sand beach and the breakfast was really good. I loved the homemade Icelandic rye bread, it tasted like gingerbread cake! If I ever go back to Vik, I will definitely try to book a room at Guesthouse Carina again.

    Location: top! not far from all main attractions of VIK and the city centre. check in and check out: very easy, quick and convenient. room: ours was very small - but we knew, what we´ve booked - since we got the last one. other than that: beds were good. shared bathroom: was totally ok - 2 bathrooms for 6 rooms to share is ok - we never had to wait for anything. bath was very clean and well equipped with toiletries. breakfast: had to be paid extra, but worth the money: very nice, plentyful!
