Everything was perfect, big kitchen with a big common area. Only four rooms with private bathrooms so it was really peaceful. We had breakfast with a really nice couple what made the stay even better.

Beautiful, big glass dining room looking out over lava rocks. Very welcoming staff. Clear posted rules so the place runs efficiently and well but no micromanaging staff. Also a place in the fridge and shelves outside it for extra food you can leave behind for someone else if you are traveling the next day and can't carry it with you. Very nice private showers!

    The host was very friendly, the house was a dream and the breakfast was delicious. Also, the views were breathtaking. You can tell they care and they are proud of their guesthouse and farm. It was a pleasure being there!

    We absolutely loved staying here. The guesthouse is lovely, the kitchen is huge and room was basic but still felt very cosy. We saw the northern lights perfectly, what a great location! There was also 2 farm dogs running around, who were so friendly and cute! The free breakfast in the morning was amazing as well. This is probably our favourite guest stay in Iceland! Highly recommend!

    Lovely Hotel. Would stay here for the buffet alone! But also - wonderful picture windows if you are lucky enough to see the northern lights, great location with views of natural craters and lots of birdlife. Perfect spot for walking and taking in the view. Staff were very helpful. Free tea and coffee whenever you need it. Great breakfast and dinner buffet options and all in all a very charming hotel with lots of personality.  Elevator was a bonus as we were travelling with my elderly mother.
