Grimsey is small, and an amazing place for wildlife. Gagga, the owner, was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble - she's obviously a local and knows everything and everybody. Brilliant host, great location and excellent facilities.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Gagga was at the ferry dock to pick us up and had delicious soup waiting for us at the house. The house was very clean and comfortable. We brought our own food for dinner but Gagga did offer to cook for us. She had breakfast ready for us in the morning. You can easily walk to the arctic circle sphere from the house. The airport is next door (there is not frequent air traffic so it is not noisy). We would love to return here someday.

I had a blissful 25 hours in Grimsey. Just wished I could have stayed longer. Gagga such a wonderful host, and person. I had a lovely cosy room with a fantastic view. Everywhere was very clean, and the kitchen was very well stocked (including stove top espresso pot). Gagga picked me up from the ferry, explained the island’s history and gave me information on opening hours. When she took me back to the ferry she took me to see her flock of sheep - her husband is a shepherd. Thank you Gagga

Everything about my stay at Guesthouse Basar was exceptional. I cannot rate it high enough. The accommodation was impeccable, warm and comfortable, spotlessly clean. Gagga my host bent over backwards to make my stay enjoyable and memorable. She picked me up from the ferry, took me on a tour of the Island, provided all my meals and on the day of departure drove me back to the ferry. She was and is amazing. I have no hesitation in recommending Basar to future travellers. They will not be disappointed.

It was clean modern, warm and very comfortable.
