Guesthouse Básar

Hosts were fabulous, room was clean and comfortable, kitchen was well equipped.

the women who owns it is so welcoming. goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable. The house is lovely, warm and cozy and you can relax and go out and explore it’s the perfect location.

absolutely nothing. coffee and tea are available and she takes your bags to the ferry for you. and even picked us up from the ferry and offered to drive us to or pick us up from the lighthouse or artic circle monument if we felt it was too far to walk back.

Incredible location. Comfortable bed and spacious double room. Nice common area and a fabulous kitchen. The breakfasts were fortifying, but mostly the host made us all feel at home. A wonderful facility in a special place with special people.

once again an unforgettable stay in this haven of peace with a completely unique welcome

You cannot talk about Guesthouse Basar with out talking about the entire island of Grimsey. Magical and idyllic come to mind. The host, Gagga, is the heart of the house and the island. She picked us up at the ferry and the fairy tale began. She has a very lovely house at the airport. Do not worry about the noise. One plane a day in and out at 2 pm. She also runs the airline operation. The most interesting people come to her plane including the only person in his 20s to live on the island (and a former mayor) and an entrepreneur from Australia who is looking to invest on the island. You can look out a window at the guest house and see the Arctic Circle marker. At the end of our 24 hour stay (far too short, but we will be back) Gagga took us back to the ferry via a sheep farm and brought some bread so we could feed the lambs. Oh, did I mention the puffins? Literally thousands.
