Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved our stay at guesthouse Bjarney. Awesome hosts, super nice. Out of all the hotels we stayed in (4 total), this was our favorite in Iceland. Super clean, free parking, spacious room, great hosts. Please do note that the hosts live in the guesthouse as well, we thought that would be awkward at first but it wasn't. The hosts are super nice, they let us use their jacuzi and sauna. Would recommend!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The couple that own the property were very friendly and helpful with the sights in the area. They offered use of kitchen and all amenities.
• Gian Luca (6/5): - It was not very clean.
• Rubén (6/5): - Guesthouse grande y en zona tranquila. Todo bien, el único problema es que convives con los propietarios y estos se pelearon a gritos varias veces mientras nosotros estábamos cocinando. Fué embarazoso...
• lucas (10/5): Kind and homey - Great bed and facilities (kitchen and shower). Nice and kind hosts. Smallscale gives a very homely feeling.
• Kevin (10/5): - Very personal and very pleasant hosts
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice guesthouse, we got a lot of tips to what to do next!
• Florence (8/5): - La chambre était propre mais très petite sans petit déjeuner mais avec possibilité de faire café ou thé. Elle est bien pour un séjour d'une nuit. Ce qui sauve la mise c'est la gentillesse des hôtes qui ont été serviables et ont donné de bons conseils pour les visites.
• Joo (10/5): Super - C'est directement dans une maison. Les proprios sont adorable, pas accaparant, mais disponible pour vous donnez de bon conseils.
• Gregory (10/5): Recommended - Highly recommend. Everything you need from friendly service, great amenities and comfy room.
• Éric (10/5): Très accueillant - Guest house au calme très propre et les propriétaires très accueillant à recommander
• Verified traveler (2/5): B&B room was NOT as advertised - We contacted the owner as requested when we knew what our expected arrival time was. She told us she had to go to the doctor in Reykjavik which was 45 mins away. Nobody was there for check in. She said the "caravan" was open but we booked the room expecting it to be inside the house as described on the website. We waited for 3 1/2 hours in our rental car for her to return and still nobody showed up. We tried calling and texting her and got no response until she got back around 6:20. We left and got a hotel room in town before she returned.
• SEONMO (6/5): 그냥 - 주인집 가정에서 숙박하는건데 주인집은 어느정도 친절하지만 가족들과 같은 공간에 있다는 점에서 자유도나, 조금 늦은 시간까지 거실에 있는게 눈치보입니다.
• Nickolaas (10/5): Great location, friendly host + hot tub & sauna. - I picked this location as the end stop of my day driving the Golden Circle. The house was quite nice, the host very friendly though it is located in a bland "suburb" area of the town. Great kitchen facilities, a grocery store close by (driving) and best of all a hot tub and sauna to relax in at the end of a long day.
• Amey (10/5): Wonderful host; clean, comfortable place to stay - David is the perfect host!! He went to great lengths to make us comfortable - even though his back was hurting he gave us a tour of his house, showed us our room, even spent 30+ minutes giving tips on what to visit/do during our stay in Iceland. Really great guy. His house is beautiful; the accommodation very clean, comfortable and quiet. David offered his kitchen for use; also made coffee for us in the morning. Highly recommend!
• Alessandro (8/5): Sentirsi a casa - Bjarney e David sono molto accoglienti, la loro casa è aperta a tutti ed insieme si fa salotto la sera mentre David aiuta a programmare il viaggio del giorno dopo...ti rendono la vita molto facile. Grazie
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We enjoyed our stay at Bjarney's guesthouse. The room was very clean and check-in was quick and easy. We highly recommend.
• MATTEO (8/5): Ospiti in casa Islandese - Esperienza positiva. E' una casa abitata e si e' ospitati dai proprietari. I signlri sono molto disponibili nel dare le informazioni e tengono le camere in buono stato. Servizi ottimi, docce tecnologiche e persino una mini sauna
• WONG (6/5): middling stay, cramped caravan. - The location was a bit difficult to find. There was no visible signboard to indicate the guesthouse. We stayed in a on-site caravan. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed but it was a bit cramped, and I have two small sized kids. I would imagine it would be very difficult to host four big sized adults. We were allowed to use the bathrooms in the house, which were very comfortable and clean. Although the website showed nice photos of a big kitchen , we were asked to cook in the caravan , which was a bit of a disappointment.
• Viriam (10/5): Lovely home in Selfoss - David and Bjarney were friendly and so accommodating. Their home is quite modern; never before took a shower where I could press a button and listen to the radio while I showered! They offered coffee and tea in the morning and have a hot tub that fills and heats in an hour. Other people were staying there and David picked them up at the bus station and took them back again the next morning. They truly went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice place - Host are very friendly, helpful! Comfortable quiet beautiful guesthouse !
• jeff (10/5): - Wonderful hosts, location, and home! David started the Jacuzzi for us and showed us how to use the sauna, making our stay that much more comfortable :).
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hosts were very nice people and the bedroom and bathroom were excellent.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Overpriced for what you get - We weren't aware that we would be sharing a house with the owners as the ad made it sound like we would have our own facilities. In fact the only part we had to ourself was our room and even the cupboards were completely filled with the owners belongings. Compared to other hotels we have stayed in while in Iceland, this has been more expensive and not up to the same standard. This place would have been more appropriate if in the ad it was made clear that we would be living in close quarters with the owners. And even then, is too expensive for what you get.
• Svend (10/5): Skønt ophold i Island hos Guesthouse Bjarney - Gæstfrie og meget imødekommende værtsfolk. Åbnede deres hjem for gæster som om det var egne familiemedlemmer, skønt!!! Køkkenudstyr, komfur mv. til fri afbenyttelse hvilket var dejligt. Badeværelset rent og alt var stillet til rådighed herinde. Mulighed vor at kigge fjernsyn. Sauna og udendørs spabad til rådighed. Værten havde lavet et fint kort over området vi ville besøge, med opmærkninger af diverse seværdigheder m.m. som vi kunne køre efter og var os til stor hjælp, så 1000 tak for det... Stedet kan varmt anbefales til andre. Mvh. Jesper & Svend
• James (10/5): Excellent option near the Golden Circle - Our one night stay in Selfoss was great, a nice alternative to Reykjavik that is close to Golden Circle. David and Bjarney were excellent hosts, giving us alot of tips and were really enjoyable to speak to. The guesthouse is very clean with excellent facilites. They have a beautiful kitchen and the bathrooms are in great condition. I could not recommend their guesthouse enough - will definitely stay there again!
• Stephanie (8/5): Great long weekend. - Stayed for 4 nights in the Kingsized room. Really comfy bed, had a wonderful sleep each night. Plenty of storage space in the room, which is on the smaller side. Full access to kitchen and utensils was perfect for breakfast and making packed lunches for the day. Could easily make full dinners, but we chose to eat out in the evenings. Plenty of space for parking. Although there were a few other couples staying in the house, it never felt cramped and there never seemed to be a wait for the shared bathrooms. Had access to Sauna and Hottub, but didn't take advantage. David, the host, was incredibly helpful. Would give us maps each day with must see places and the best routes to take.
• massimo (6/5): Bella casa con camera quadrupla inadeguata - La cucina il soggiorno e le due camere doppie sono veramente molto belle ed ampie. Purtroppo noi eravamo sistemati in una camera familiare ricavata con pannelli prefabbricati nel garage, di dimensioni assolutamente inadeguate. Oltre ai due letti matrimoniali non c'era praticamente spazio per muoversi ne tanto meno per appoggiare le valigie
• JONGWEON (10/5): - 호스트가 굉장히 친절하고 시설은 깨끗했으며 잠자리가 편안했습니다.
• Luisa Higuita (10/5): Awesome! - It was awesome... beautiful people and beautiful house! thanks for everything!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 너무 친절하시고 숙소도 좋고 모든게 다 완벽했어요
• deanne (10/5): - Great place to stay! They even have a jacuzzi and sauna.
• Simon (2/5): Terrible service run by hoarders - When we arrived, nobody was present at the guesthouse. The door was locked, it was cold and rain was freezing. We knocked and hollered, but there was no response. They had a phone number posted on the window to call in which we were met with a busy signal. This happened for about an hour before we decided to go to a cafe and get some support from hotels.com. They were able to quickly get in contact with the operator. When we arrived at the guesthouse we were met with a woman who didn't really seem remorseful at all, and made it seem like it was our fault for not knowing there was a hidden key under the mat. Once inside the place looked like it was run by hoarders. Probably one of the worst experiences I've had in any hostel/guesthouse.
• Louise (8/5): Rent og pænt - Rigtig fint og trygt sted at overnatte :)
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Arrived but no one was there to welcome us with no other instrucrions but to call the phone number stuck on the door. Had to drive to a petrol station and buy a sim card to contact staff. After a long, cold and wet day we were not impressed.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Nice bed&breakfast in Selfoss - Not sure if this is really a guesthouse, its more of a bed & breakfast (but breakfast is additional cost and we did not partake). A woman & her husband own the house and rent out the rooms. It was a bit difficult to find but once we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. Nice house, nice bedroom, nice bathrooms. The house was a bit cluttered from all of their day to day stuff but overall our room was good and we got a good price. They are really nice people, too.
• léa (6/5): Bien - Une chambre un peu petite mais un accueil chaleureux. Un peu bruyant le matin.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great location - Place was clean, the homeowner was very polite and friendly.
• ddubb (10/5): Great place to stay in selfless - Great location, great hosts, and an even better bed! It was probably the most comfortable bed we had in our 3 week / 4 country vacation. ( we selected the king bed room. Though it was a small room, the bed made up for it!
• Yi-Chiao (10/5): The best guesthouse in Iceland - The host were friendly and helpful. The guesthouse was the best I've ever stayed in Iceland. The kitchen was well equipped, so we made a big meal there XDDD There was also a supermarket nearby. By the way, there was a outdoor SPA in the guesthouse, we enjoyed the SPA and the northern light that night !!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Logement confortable et accueillant - Un court séjour à Selfoss dans une maison confortable chez l'habitant. Les propriétaires, David et Bjarney sont très gentils et nous ont fait bon accueil. Ils nous ont également conseillé sur les activités et les visites à faire dans le coin. Disponibles et sympas ! La maison a tout le confort moderne, plus jacuzzi et sauna! un régal Je recommande.
• Jaehong (10/5): Lovely guesthoue in Iceland - Lovely b/f Kind owner Comfort bedroom
• Benjamin (10/5): - Very nice and friendly people, and a wonderful house.
• Verified traveler (8/5): small room but good house. - the room is small but others are good.
• Verified traveler (6/5): THE BEST BED IN ICELAND! - THE BEST NIGHT'S SLEEP WE HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE TRIP! THE BED WAS AMAZING, THE SHARED SHOWER WAS SPECTACULARLY MODERN. THE HOST, DAVE, WAS BEYOND FRIENDLY AND A VERY WELCOME FACE WHEN ARRIVING IN ICELAND. HE SET HIGH STANDARDS FOR OUR TRIP HERE!! AWESOME PLACE WITH AMAZING PEOPLE!
• Andrew (10/5): Very cozy stay - Lovely hosts. Very cozy and comfortable room. Great facilities with a huge kitchen, sauna and jacuzzi.
• Brandon (10/5): Wonderful hosts. Great hot tub. - We arrived later than we said we would. Hosts were wonderfully nice. Quiet room on a quiet street.
• Susan (10/5): Great Guesthouse in the Best Location - This place is first rate for a Guesthouse. We had a beautiful room with adjustable beds. The shared bathroom was very luxurious and there is also a sauna and whirlpool. It is in a great location a few blocks from restaurants, grocery stores. Selfoss is the best central location also for an easy day trip to South Coast and Golden Circle. The hosts are very friendly and helped us plan our visits in the area. I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Iceland someday!
• Marc (8/5): Friendly home - Very friendly couple gave us lots of advice on where to visit, we had some continental breakfast for free, comfy single beds clean bathroom, would stay there again.
• Me (10/5): The Review - Our hosts were very friendly and helpful, the kids loved the hot tub and futuristically styled shower.
