The house was very lovely, welcoming and had a lot of space to enjoy the stay at. Gragga welcomed on Grimsey and made sure my stay at Basar Guesthouse was great and authentically.

"Five days in heaven."

10.0

The hosts Ausa and Gaga made me feel like family-in a good way :). They even offered to drive and pick me up to most any part of the island at anytime. The house was very comfortable and I had the best room-large especially for Iceland and it overlooked the water. Stay here if you come to Grimsey! Grab a room if it's available they go quick. Heard it's the best guesthouse on the island

Das Guesthouse befindet sich etwas außerhalb des Ortes in der Nähe des Arctic Circle mit einen Blick auf das Meer. Es ist wunderschön dort. Die Gastgeberin ist super nett , hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Das Frühstück wurde liebevoll zubereitet. Ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt.
