    Neat and warm guest house in North-East Iceland. I was raised in this area so maybe I am not neutral.

    A clean, well-run guesthouse. The number of bathrooms per rooom was above average. The kitchen was well stocked and there was a nice, light seating area.

    Everything was excellent, we really enjoyed the stay. The kitchen might get a bit crowded during breakfast/dinner time, but we were always lucky to be almost the only ones there.

    The guesthouse is truly beautiful, modern, clean, cosy, well-equipped and in a nice and quiet place in the very north of Iceland. There is a well-equipped kitchen with a coffee machine and a terrace and self-service breakfast in the morning.

    On our ring road trip this was our favorite accommodation so far! The view is so stunning, it's spacious and everything was very clean, comfy beds, cute interior and very well equipped. We wished we would've booked more than one night and we are thrilled to come back someday.

    The living container stands directly on the car park, with tables and benches in front of it. Fortunately, this was not used, because otherwise the small terrace with barbecue could hardly be enjoyed in a relaxed way. To prevent anyone from peeping into the living space through the 'shop windows', the large windows must also be darkened. The apartment is also called 'The Cave' at the petrol station. We did not found out why ....

    We had our own living container, right next to the guesthouse. Breakfast was served at the petrol station, which also belongs to the guesthouse operators. The fishing village is located directly on the 85 and thus a good starting point for excursions on the north coast of Iceland, e.g. to Dettifoss, etc.

    The little house we stayed is not the one shown in the profile of property picture but a separate house a couple of blocks away. Super cute little house with 2 bedrooms upstairs and a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom downstairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would have in a household… kitchen tops, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave. The bathroom is even equipped with washer and dryer. Even though we did not use most facilities but happy to see they’re available. There is a deck with a cute table and benches, a grill for BBQ, and a little old boat facing the bay. Super nice and cute for relaxing

    Surprised no contact with staff apart from a phone call to be told the room number.

    Good selection for self service breakfast. We were lucky that the other 2 rooms sharing the bathroom with us were unoccupied. There doesn't seem to be anywhere else similar in this small town.
