- Joachim (9/5): Sehr gemütlich und super Service! - Sehr nettes, individuelles Guest-House. Viele kleine Details machen die Zimmer und das Haus besonders. Extrem gut gedämmt - trotz offenem Fenster sehr warm im Zimmer.
Gemeinschaftsbad war überhaupt kein Problem. Es gab auf unserem Stockwerk 2 Bäder und eine Toilette, daher war immer etwas frei.
Das Frühstück war mehr als ausreichend! Wir bekamen unseres extra bereitgestellt im Kühlschrank, da wir zu unserer Whale-Watching-Tour sehr früh starten mussten. Noch dazu gab es viele Tipps der Gastwirtin, um Magen-Problemen während der Boots-Tour zu vermeiden. Vielen Dank dafür!
- Harriet (10/5): Lovely guesthouse - Very cute guesthouse. It was great to have big mugs in the room for tea rather than just small coffee cups. Bed was very comfortable and house was surprisingly quiet eve though it is shared bathrooms

- Manuela (10/5): Wonderful - Our stay was wonderful. We were warmly and kindly welcomed by the host. The room was very comfortable, clean, and well organized, as was the shared bathroom on our floor. We found the accommodation beautiful overall, with historic details and touches unique to the city that made it even more charming.
After many hours on the road, we had a peaceful and restorative stay. The location was perfect for us, with parking available both on the property and nearby. We also really appreciated the freshly made coffee in the morning.
We would definitely stay here again!

- Eva (8/5): - Ubicación y habitación muy bonita y acogedora Falta que tengan una zona para poder cocinar
- Kathrin (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen! - Wunderschönes und gemütlich eingerichtetes Gästehaus. Wir hatten ein Zimmer unter dem Dach, was uns besonders gut gefallen hat. Bei geöffnetem Fenster hört man den kleinen Bach hinter dem Haus und die Vögel singen. Die Gemeinschaftsbäder sind sehr sauber. Im Haus gibt es zwei Stationen mit Tee und Kaffee. Für das Frühstück hatten wir leider keine Zeit. Die Innenstadt bzw. der Hafen sind in wenigen Gehminuten zu erreichen.

- Renaud (9/5): Chambre agréable dans une maison ancienne présentant du cachet. Décor soigné et très propre. - Chambre agréable dans une maison ancienne présentant du cachet. Décor soigné et très propre. Arrivé à 20h00 plutôt que 19h00 en raison de la neige sur les routes, j’ai senti l’agacement du personnel qui m’a fait attendre 10 minutes dans le froid devant la porte après mon appel.
- Thomas (10/5): -
- Femke (10/5): Superfijn guesthouse - Prachtig oud huis in een rustige straat vlak bij de haven, op loopafstand van het vertrekpunt van de walvistochten. Vriendelijke eigenares, met aandacht en liefde ingerichte kamers, brandschoon sanitair, een koelkast en magnetron ter beschikking en verse koffie in de ochtend :-)

- Julia (9/5): Great and comfy room well located - The guesthouse is perfectly situated in the city center nearby the best fish restaurant in town and nearby the harbour.
The room is perfectly clean as well as commun bathroom with hot water from the hot springs (like everywhere in the country).
I slept well and will recommend this place Nothing
- Carine (7/5): check in compliqué - L'emplacement pas loin de l'embarquement pour voir les baleines Le logement a côté de l'entrée était très bruyant.
L'accueil était mal fait pas de sonnette, porte fermée , j'ai essayé de sonner sur la porte a côté qui est destiné a la famille mais personne venait. Des locataires ont fini par sortir ce qui n'ont a permis d'entrer et de pouvoir voir la dame de l'accueil qui était bien présente... entre temps le message sur booking me dit d'appeler le numéro sur la porte mais ils n'ont pas whatsapp et je n'ai pas de ligne internationale. Donc check in compliqué
- Laura (10/5): Casa preciosa y completa. Vistas increíbles y puesta de sol de cine. Limpio, decorado con gusto y acogedor. Incluyen des - Máximo nivel de detalle con absolutamente todo. Desde productos de higiene femenina hasta un desayuno de cortesía.

- Véronique (9/5): Très belle petite guesthouse où l'on se sent comme à la maison - Cette guesthouse se situe dans une maison typique islandaise très bien située dans cette jolie petite ville. Très belle décoration intérieure dans tous les espaces, pensée avec beaucoup de goût. Du café frais est mis à disposition le matin avec des gâteaux. Notre chambre était spacieuse et très agréable donnant sur une petite rivière. Cette établissement me fait plus penser à une maison d'hôte. Nous avons passer un excellent séjour avec cerisesur le gâteau, nos premières aurores boréales. Le manque de communucation pour l'arrivée. On est resté bloqué sur le palier 1/2 h avant que le propriétaire vienne nous ouvrir. Il suffirait simplement qu'il y ait une sonnette pour éviter ce genre de désagrément. Les chambres devraient être un peu plus insonoriser.
- Jovana (9/5): - Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in einer wirklich schönen Unterkunft, die herzlich und gemütlich eingerichtet war. Die Lage war ebenfalls super und hat perfekt zu einem entspannten Aufenthalt beigetragen. Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: Im oberen Stockwerk gibt es alte Holzdielen, die beim Gehen hörbar knarren, wodurch man Geräusche teilweise deutlich hört.
Insgesamt können wir die Unterkunft sehr weiterempfehlen.
- Forni (8/5): -
- Art Vacation (9/5): - Lovely home with nice decor No kitchen or sitting area, street noise
- Marie-Hélène (9/5): Nuit très agréable. - Chambre très agréable avec vue sur la rivière (et canards!) dans maison de style avec objets anciens. Tout est impeccable. Calme. Deux salles de bain.Pas de cuisine mais possibilité d'utiliser micro-ondes et frigo. Bon emplacement à 200 m du port.
Facilement accessible.

- Marat K. (10/5): - Невероятно уютный и аутентичный отель с удобной кроватью, всем необходимым и даже больше!!!! Владельцы позаботились о всех мелочах, которые могут потребоваться. Были в доступе чай, кофе, горячий шоколад и даже беруши (кстати они не понадобились, было довольно тихо)...рассматривать этот отель было одно удовольствие - каждая вещь эстетична и наполнена любовью У воды сероводородный аромат, но на вкус чая это никак не влияло
- Nutsa Burduladze (10/5): Highly Recommended - Every detail was very cute and thoughtful. Very clean! Smells nice. Great location. No kitchen however basic stuff for preparing food like microwave, kettle and fridge available

- Ingrid (10/5): Une très belle adresse ! - La localisation est parfaite.
Le lieu est très joli et très propre. On se sent comme à la maison. On a tout aimé
- Wararuk (10/5): A Lovely and Cozy Stop After an Exhausting Travel Day - After 6 days of driving around Iceland and a very long, exhausting day on the road, arriving here felt like such a relief. We were so happy that we chose this place — everything is lovely, cozy, and welcoming. It was the perfect stop to rest after such an intense journey, and we truly felt we made the right choice. Highly recommended for anyone traveling around Iceland. Nothing at all — we really enjoyed our stay.
- Guillaume (10/5): -
- Victor (8/5): -
- Marek (9/5): - Very nice room and stuff Nothing
- Jekaterina (10/5): Perfect stay - Everything was perfect Nothing worth mentioning
- Jeni (10/5): Cute town, cute guesthouse, cute room, cute stay!!!! - Cosy warm bedroom right on the front of the guesthouse overlooking the town, with a little table and chairs to enjoy the view! Modern decor with clean and modern bathrooms with everything you need. Great host, very welcoming, I even needed some laundry detergent because I spilt some diesel on my trousers and she helped which was kind! Nothing, I will definitely stay again when I hope to visit in the summer!
- Noémie - Quentin (10/5): -
- Lofty (8/5): - Great people very responsive, beautiful place and clean. Highly recommend
- Debbie (10/5): Perfect place to stay if you want an inviting warm stay in Húsavík. - The guesthouse was absolutely charming and well run. The house has so many small details that make it cozy and inviting. Extra points for fresh coffee in the lounge every morning, plus travel tips for whatever is on your agenda.

- Joshua (10/5): Very good - Great location, comfortable interior, very friendly staff. N/a
- cyprien (8/5): -
- Chalis (10/5): - Great location, walked everywhere. Lovely house, thoughtful touches to rooms, hallways and bathrooms. Definitely ask for another pillow as they were quite flat and uncomfortable but bed/bedding was great. Coffee was served in the morning which was nice. Tea and hot coco were out for anytime. Friendly staff. Would definitely come back!

- Francesco (10/5): - La proprietaria è stata molto disponibile, accogliente e ci ha fatto sentire come ha casa. Anche se non è prevista una colazione ha pensato di allestire una sala comune con frutta fresca, biscotti e bevande calde per la sera e la mattina. La struttura è molto bella e la camera davvero accogliente. Esperienza da ripetere, consigliatissimo. Nulla
- Jonathan (8/5): - L'emplacement central, la vieille maison en bois refaite juste ce qu'il faut pour accueillir les touristes en toute Securite, la piece a vivre Pas de place de parc dediee il faut utiliser les parkings du village.

- Kirke (10/5): Cosy stay and a friendly hostess - Charming, cosy house owned by a kind hostess who shared many recommendations for Iceland with us. The rooms were warm and felt like home. We would love to stay here again.
- Marta (10/5): -
- Montserrat (8/5): AURORA BOREAL - Me gustó mucho la decoración de la guesthouse, la ubicación ideal al lado del puerto para realizar las excursiones. Fueron muy amables y nos dejaron galletas, café y frutas para desayunar. Y como extra vimos la aurora boreal soñada. Me gustaría que tuviera cocina, ya que las opciones de restaurantes son muy muy limitadas. Y el baño que nos tocó demasiado pequeño
- Raya (1/5): Avoid this place at all costs — worst experience ever! - We’ve never had a worse experience in our travels. The owner was unbelievably rude and unprofessional. The guesthouse rules clearly state that check-in is available until 23:00. We sent her a message in advance, which she completely ignored, so we had to find a way to call her Icelandic number (which had no Viber, WhatsApp, or any other messaging app).
When we finally reached her, we told her we’d arrive at 22:00, and she reluctantly said she’d be waiting for us at 22:30. We arrived exactly at 22:30 — but she was nowhere to be found. We knocked on the window, and a man inside motioned for us to leave. We ended up waiting outside in the cold like homeless people, even though we had already paid for our stay.
By pure luck, the owner came out at 22:45 to take out the trash, and that’s when we managed to speak to her. She immediately started yelling that we were “late,” even though check-in was open until 23:00.
The house itself was also disappointing — only one bathroom and one toilet shared between two floors, paper-thin walls (you can literally hear your neighbors breathing), no kitchen (just a tiny, tiny sink in front of the toilet!), and very small rooms.
To make matters worse, two days later we received a notification from Booking that the owner was trying to charge us a late check-in fee! Absolutely outrageous.
If someone cannot be kind, welcoming, or even remotely professional, they shouldn’t be running a guesthouse. Sadly, she seems more interested in taking people’s money than providing hospitality. Lady, you really should go check your mental health!
Avoid this place at all costs — worst experience ever!

It's a really cute and clean place to stay! You won't be let down, if I ever came all the way back to Husavik I'd stay here. Host was a wealth of information.
