    Shower is weak. Booked and paid for 3 bedrooms but were asked to sleep in 2 bedrooms and 1 locked bedroom. Felt cheated. Take note that washing machine is provided in the cellar but owner charge 1500kr

    Everything is clean

    The accommodation was somewhat rustic and dated and we were lucky as the 4 people in our party were the only guests. If however the other room had been let out to complete strangers then it would have been uncomfortable with only 1 bathroom and a small kitchen and no real private areas except your room (which you would not want to spend all evening in). The TV didn't work and there was no WiFi but there were plenty of games and jigsaw puzzles to keep you occupied if necessary.

    Andrea is a lovely host who gave us some very useful information and made us some lovely bread upon our arrival. The accommodation had a really nice communal lounge area in which to sit and relax during the evening. Compared to other Icelandic properties it was reasonable value for money.

    The laundry room could have been better to avoid slipping or hitting your head. Needs to be updated.

    Is really nice farm house.

    The room was well-designed and comfortable. The decor was old-style and provided us with a perfect Icelandic homestay. One of the unique aspects is the personalized atmosphere it provides. Since it's a homestay, it was very calm, and felt like we were at our own home. The next time I visit Iceland, I will definitely stay at this place again.

    The only thing we did not like is that we had to leave this place - it is a dream experience!

    We LOVED the place and everything. It has been a highlight among our accommodation choices in Iceland. This is an original Icelandic house! We were delighted to be welcomed by the owners dog , the sweet Tawta! The house was warm , big and well equipped.

    We tripped a few times on the unusual raised thresholds leading to several rooms, especially the bathroom. Might be good to paint it white like the others so it can be noticed more easily.

    Beautiful location on workings farm. Each room has its own sink. Easy check in. very kind owner. It’s an older home, but gives a real experience on living in Iceland.

    We were not expecting to be put in a container instead of the guesthouse. We were expecting a small kitchen, but there was no kitchen or refrigerator for us to use, and the wifi was exceptionally slow when it was working at all.

    The host was friendly and helpful with suggestions for places to visit in the area. We loved the description of how the farm works that was in a binder in the room. We were surprised to have a private bathroom, and the beds were very comfortable. The surrounding land was beautiful!

    We booked this guesthouse because it was specified that there was the use of kitchen included in the room, but when we arrived, the host informed us that there wasn't kitchen and blames Booking.com because she warned that it is gone but they do not change the information on the site!!!!! We had to fast because it was too late. Among the services they indicate that the wifi is present but doesn't work. They make fun of people!!!!!!!

    Very clean room and bathroom. Good location for visiting the Hvítserkur rock.

    We were lucky to have the house to ourselves due to being a large-ish party. Sharing bathroom and common space with strangers is not something we're too fond of. We're not complaining, though, we knew what to expect. There just aren't many choices in the area.

    The guesthouse is adequate. There's nothing spescial to say about it. The most important feature, is that the location was perfect for an overnight break according to our schedule.

    You cannot use the kitchen unless you rent the whole house. We were lodged in the containers with private bathroom so no kitchen. Be sure to ask the owner before you go if you want to use the kitchen. The access to the lodge way it is in the middle of a curve, a bit dangerous

    the room is a container, but it is very well conditioned.

    Nice place, but we were not happy with communication with the host

    On the day we arrived, we were asked if we could check out earlier, or at least remove the sheets from the bed so they can be cleaned because the cleaning service is coming around 10. I wouldn't mind it that much if it was communicated a bit more politely, but I wasn't that happy with the communication with the host in general. A day before we arrived we were informed that we cannot get the double bed we requested (which we didn't mind that much), but two singles, and also that the kitchen could not be used because that is also now a part of the bigger apartment. We don't know if that was even included in our reservation since we weren't planning on using the kitchen, but we would appreciate if such information was communicated earlier. I guess that is why we also weren't offered an option for breakfast. The other hosts we met during our Iceland road trip were much more professional and welcoming.

    The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was great, everything looks new. The place is remote and peaceful.
