    Nothing, everything was more than perfect.

    In fact, it's even hard to find correct words to describe our stay at this beautiful & unique house. Stay at Kolkuos house was one of the main highlight from our trip in Iceland. It's absolutely unique experience. Everything was more than perfect. The house inside is very beautiful, comfortable, super clean, stunning view from the window. I would love to stay much more longer there, because this house has some magic energetic. The feel is definitely like at the end of the world, very calm, relax & cozy.

    For those looking for something in a city, this isn't it. For those looking for natural beauty, quiet and peacefull surroundings, this is your place. Very glad we happened on this by chance.

    Beautiful location on a beach in the country side. The rooms were modern and very comfortable. We used the kitchen to make our own dinner. This place is a perfect refuge. The host prepared breakfast and we enjoyed his company. Should have stayed longer.

    Nothing really.

    A beautiful guest house in a beautiful location with an amiable and attentive host! What a great find! Unfortunately we could only stay 1 night on our tour around Iceland, but it was enough to appreciate how special this place is! And we saw the aurora borealis for the first time there! Be prepared for a 6km drive along a rough track and a little peaceful isolation from the rest of the world......a great plus point for us. Very useful to be able to use the kitchen to prepare a meal. Thank you Valgeir for creating this place, for the nice breakfast and for the stimulating conversation!

    Stay here for an unforgettable experience
    • Leisure trip

    • Double or Twin Room - Disability Access
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room we booked had wheelchair access which meant there was no door between the room and the bathroom ie no privacy. I wasn't aware of that beforehand so was in for a bit of a surprise when I walked in. If I knew about this it would probably stop me from booking the place but I'm so glad I didn't because I would miss the chance to stay at this magical place. I understand the owner is planning to install the door very soon so, this won't be an issue anymore in the future plus there is an additional toilet on the ground floor that can be used should you wish to do so. Please note there is no TV or wifi at this property (my mobile network was working fine) but that just means you get to enjoy the surroundings without any modern day distractions. There are books and a piano in the lounge.

    The location is simply stunning. If you like beautiful scenery away from everything, this is the place to stay. The house itself is amazing and the rooms are lovely and spacious. We were lucky as the night was clear when we stayed there and we had the opportunity to see the northern lights which added to what was already a very special experience. I visited Iceland three times and stayed in various places and this was hands down my favourite.

    During our trip to Iceland we always saw isolated houses, true retreats, and we wondered what it's like to live here! If you want to know, then book this hotel! It is a perfect place to see what life is like in a house with only the sound of nature! It doesn't have WiFi and it does very well. Take a book, go down to the living room and read. - no wifi here talk to each other - also the house takes you to another decade!

    Knowing kitchen on site. Toilet too exposed for comfort - glass screen would have afforded more privacy. Who wants to see someone sitting on the toilet, even if they have been married for 50 years?

    Stunning location, if a little off beaten track. Would be useful to know this. Room clean. Kitchen unexpected bonus - no mention on website.

    It's a bit off the main road but a quick call to the owner and he guided us in. And it was worth it! Beautiful view of the water, very cozy room, fantastic breakfast served by the owner in a "tuxedo" apron. He makes you feel like family from the moment you arrive.

    Everything was perfect! This property is off the paved road and you will need to drive on a rocky road to get there. It is quite and secluded with incredible views. Comfortable bedding, very clean property. Great breakfast and a charming host. So far, nothing has topped this accommodation in Iceland. A bonus was the sunny, warm weather and no wind. We truly did not expect to have such luck.

    We cannot think of anything.

    The hotel was a rare find located in a place of ethereal beauty. We appreciated access to the kitchen to cook a simple meal. The host was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Although there are no grocery stores in the immediate neighborhood, there are stores along the road as well as in the next town. We liked the peaceful ambience and the unique beauty of the place. We hope to be back.

    We thought we requested breakfast and nothing was open in Hofsos for dinner. It would be helpful to include breakfast in rate and/or suggest that guests bring their own provisions.

    Really enjoyed it. Location is remote but home is well appointed, very clean and comfortable. Easy drive to Hofsos. Good kitchen facility and awesome views.
