Guest Reviews

• Faustine (7/5): - La cuisine très spacieuse, la salle de bain également. Les chambres étaient petites mais pour une nuit cela suffit. Nous avons demandé l'annulation de la deuxième nuit pour raisons personnelles, nous n'avons jamais eu de réponse du personnel.
• Lena (7/5): - The kitchen was really clean and well-equipped. The room was small, but clean. The check-in was difficult. We were supposed to call a number for the room number and code, but nobody picked up on several tries. We finally texted the host via booking and received a reply. The check-in information could have been sent via message and email to avoid unneccessary stress.

• Julia (8/5): -
• Francesco (10/5): Fantastica Guesthouse Islandese - la vicinanza alla città. Guesthouse tipica islandese
• Stefyz85 (8/5): - Pulizia, cucina ben fornita Stanza troppo piccola non corrispondente alle foto, mancanza di TV, wifi e phon.
• Rina (9/5): -
• Maxime (7/5): - Lit correct et confortable Cuisine bien équipée Insonorisation mauvaise et le froid passer par la fenêtre
• Stefano (8/5): - Spazi in comune belli, camera spaziosa e ottima pulizia Mancava il detersivo per i piatti, il dispenser del bagnoschiuma era vuoto

• LAURA (3/5): No lo recomiendo - Hay dos cocinas This place is the worst dump I’ve ever stayed in—and I’ve stayed in quite a few places. Charging €100 per night for something where you can’t even find your room is a complete rip-off. We arrived at 8:00 PM and received the room code just one minute before that time. There are three buildings, and you have no idea which one to enter. It was raining, and in the second building we managed to get into, we found a girl helping a man who didn’t have a room due to a mistake by the hostel. We went to what was supposed to be our room, and it turned out to be a room for four people instead of two. It was completely messy, dirty, with cigarette butts on the floor and a bad smell. We called, texted, and waited, but got no response. After an hour, Booking managed to get us another room—while that man still didn’t have his. Our room was a pigsty, with trash on the floor, dust everywhere, and sheets covered in long dark hairs. The bathrooms have NOTHING—no soap, no hairdryer, no hooks for towels or clothes. There is only one shower for 10 rooms. Everything is old and completely overpriced.

• Magdalena (4/5): - There was a kitchen ( but unfortunately no pots to Cook in). We booked for 9 People and only got just 7 beds 80 cm wide. When we tried to call the recomended number, nobody answered. There was no aditional matress or covering.

• stefano (8/5): - Camera accogliente, riscaldamento super e letti comodi. Cucina in comune ben fornita e tutto funzionante.
• lucia (6/5): Sin más... - Bien ubicado, facil para seguir en ruta, tenia buena cocina para poderte hacer tus comidas y guardar tus alimentos. Habia una araña enorme en el techo, las ventanas por fuera están llenitas de ellas, la ducha imposible de regular la temperatura, hierve. Literalmente.
• Baptiste (9/5): Très bon rapport qualité-prix ! - Endroit calme et relativement propre. Les douches sont assez grandes. Et vraiment pas cher pour ce que c'est. Il manquait peut-être quelques ustensiles ici en cuisine (et les équipements ne sont pas géniaux). La chambre est aussi un peu petite.
• Emma (10/5): - It was very clean, bathrooms, bedroom, and kitchen were all simple but functional. The beds were nice, and the location was easy to find. Would definitely recommend!
• Daniel (10/5): - Very quiet, good resting point in our itinerary. No hooks for towel or clothing in bathroom.
• Audrey (7/5): - Nice kitchen. Clean and organized with plenty of dishes and cooking equipment. Like the community atmosphere. The room has a sink - great. Good blackout curtains. Room was plenty large for 2adults and 2 toddlers. LOVED the nearby pool. Great for the kids. The freezer and frig were jam packed - both of them. Really couldn't squeeze anything else in. The room was too hot - no way to cool it off without letting bugs in.

• Cioni (8/5): Buono - Stanza calda e pulita. Check in facilissimo con codice inviato via mail. Quartiere carino Probabilmente pochi bagni rispetto alle camere e la distanza tra la nostra camera e la cucina/bagni un po' lunga.
• Quentin (5/5): - Pratique pour s’arrêter une nuit avant de continuer la route. Le logement est bien équipé. Les lits étaient mal faits et les draps étaient sales et tâchés, à croire qu’ils avaient déjà été utilisés et pas lavés.
• Torahito (1/5): - I contacted them about bedbugs in the bed, but they never replied and I just checked out. It was the worst.
• Tadeja (8/5): -
• Deima (4/5): - Demasiado ruidoso. No se descansa.
• Klaus (5/5): Fix the door (think it was house no32 ?!) - Overall the guesthouse is a welcome alternative on a stretch of the southern ringroad where it might be tougher to find something adequate. Off the main (ring)-road a bit, close to a busstation where you can get picked up by i.e organised tours to Landmanalaugar the communication and info worked well if you book at least a day in advance - on the same day it might be tricky as the business hours might interfere with transferring the necessary info to your email... (as it happened to a guest who didn' get the keycode for example - he got a confirmation but not the respective email - as he had booked late the same day - sth to organise even better I guess) I had a room directly adjacent to the main entrance problem eith that : the main entrance does (at least did) not fully close and the lock always crashed into the counterpart with a loud bang - none bothered to use the handle to close it fully and silently - hence if you try to sleep directly adjacent to it you have this banging as long as people go in and out.
• Gunnarsson (1/5): - Staðsetningin and that´s it Herbergið var óhreint og skítugt á rúmum, handklæði á ofni til þerris, tómar flöskur og drasl í vaskinum. Ég marg reyndi að hringja strax enn það svaraði enginn. Ég notaði því teppi á rúmið sem ég var með útí bíl. Daginn eftir náði ég loks að tala við starfsmann sem þótti þetta mjög leitt og benti mér á að senda mail og biðja um endurgreiðslu. Er búinn að senda 2x mail og hef ekki ennþá fengið nein viðbrögð. Myndi aldrei versla við þetta fyrirtæki aftur. þið sjáið á myndunum hvernig við komum að herberginu. Glórulaust rugl og að það skuli enginn svara í neyðarnúmer sem gefið var upp.
• Steinunn (2/5): -
• Paula andrea (10/5): -
• Íris Heiða Andersen (4/5): - Ódýrt, góð staðsetning Ekki hreint , stolið mat
• Marcio Alan (8/5): - Apartamento bem simples. Dá para melhorar na limpeza geral. 2 chuveiros para todo o andar achei pouco. Isso pode ser problema
• Ruxi (10/5): - I don’t understand the low score. What more could you want than super easy checkin, proper kitchen and dining tables, clean bathrooms and cosy rooms? Compared to everything else available, this was great value. Me and my son loved this place.
• Vanessa (6/5): - Suffisant pour passé une nuit entre 2 étapes. C'est un guest house comme ça se fait beaucoup en Islande. Personne pour vous accueillir et des lieux communs sans aucun charme.
• Nerea (5/5): Aceptable - Limpio y tranquilo . En la cocina hay bastante espacio para cocinarte tu comida y todo estaba ordenado. No hay nadie para hacer el check in y check out pero eso no nos importó. Todo estaba vacío y silencioso ,,, Por decir algo, el baño estaba muy alejado de la habitación
• MP gongora (8/5): -
• Àrni (6/5): Herbikin eru mjög góð og allur aðbúnaður nema í eldhúsi - Gisting inn var góð Aðbúnaður í eldhúsi var ekki góður það vantaði kaffivèl og ristavèl það er lámark að maður geti helt upp á kaffi
• goran (8/5): -
• Jónína (4/5): -
• Sara (8/5): Nice stay - The accommodation is very pleasant overall—warm, nicely decorated, with a kitchen and several tables, and clean bathrooms. Our room was a bit small for two adults with a baby, but it was fine. It had heating, was clean, and included a small sink. They mention that check-in must be done by 9 PM, which is quite difficult for anyone traveling around Iceland, given the long distances between towns. The worst part is that it’s self check-in and we never saw anyone, so arriving a little later would have been fine. Because of this, we had to rush, which wasn’t very convenient with an 8-month-old baby.
• Cristina (10/5): -
• SOFIA (7/5): Regulero - El self check in La cocina regulera, el microondas super sucio y la nevera olía que echaba para atrás. No se puede cerrar el baño de la ducha por completo y las instalaciones necesitan una reforma.
• Robert Tapps (9/5): Would recommend. - A great little place for the cheap price. Quiet building, didnt hear other guests at all. Very nice common sitting areas and kitchen with good facilities. Nice restaurant within 200m. Tiny room with 2 single beds, but still good value. Check in was confusing and we needed help from another guest to gain access.
• Rafael (7/5): Recomendable - Buen lugar de paso por la ruta en Islandia Falta limpieza
• Meike (8/5): -
• Kevin (10/5): Basic accommodation but quiet and clean -
• Cris (6/5): - -
• Akane (4/5): - 問い合わせをしたが既読スルーされた シャワー室の場所が分かりづらかった
• CATERINA (7/5): -
• Vitalij (8/5): - Dobry dojazd. Parking za free pod oknem. Kuchnia dobrze wyposażona. Łazienka i WC wspólna. Cena jest ok. Pokój jest malutki, brak krzeseł, stolika, wieszaków oraz półek. Jest tylko wąska szafa z kilkoma wieszakami. Czystość średnia. Cienkie ściany, wszystko słychać.
• Luca (7/5): Problem solved - When we arrived, we tried to check in our room which was already occupied by someone else. We sent a message via booking and they solved immediately the situation giving us an other room. The kitchen was really dirty and poor of tools
• Simona (9/5): - La cucina e la camera Il bagno
• Jean-claude (7/5): -
• Anjali (2/5): - Kitchen was dirty, stove wasn’t working Denied checkin in even after I was told by the team of hotels.com to go ahead with late checkin and did inform the property 48 hrs prior but there was no response by the property
• Hawk (8/5): - Kitchen has necessary kitchenware; room is small, though, parking is easy
• Jack (8/5): A very positive experience - Convenient and friendly atmosphere. Good location. Warm Toilets weren't in best condition. Sink drain in bedroom was too slow
• Chiara (4/5): - Cheaper compared to other places, but maybe spending a bit more money could be worth it. The room was small but okay. I guess the room we booked was in another building than the one on booking, cause the kitchen looked different. The whole place didn't look very curated. The kitchen had basic equipment, but didn't have any windows, and dish soap was missing. Bathrooms and showers were not really comfortable. There just weren't many instructions about the place, no contact with the owners, and we met other people who booked there that couldn't get into their room and had to wait for a couple of hours, cause the owners weren't answering their calls
• Steinunn (2/5): - Einn starfsmaður sem var ágæt Vantaði wc pappír , stíflað klósett , stíflaður vaskur . Og náðist ekki í neinn 😱
• Aarón (8/5): - Buen sitio para descansar
• JUAN (4/5): Sucio - Muy sucio, el suelo de la habitacion daba asco, pelusas, chicles y macarrones, un asco no se podia andar descalzo. Y la cocina tambien un asco, ningun control de la gente y su uso, y adi estaba... En fin mejor gasta un poco mas y huye de este sitio
• Antimo (8/5): -
• Echo Dore (4/5): Not even close to advertised - Misleading pictures and descriptions. The geo thermal pool is a block away and community, not on site and you have to pay. The bathrooms were tiny, dirty and the woman’s room had no lock. Most dispensers had no paper towel and the overall feel was grimy.
• Camille (7/5): - No place for many lugagges , and the pods have not a very good isolation
• Vinter (9/5): -
• Paweł (10/5): - Łatwość zameldowania Czystość
• Anita (8/5): - Prima accomodatie met goede keuken en andere faciliteiten. Goed uitgangspunt voor excursie naar het binnenland. Twee mooie kleine watervallen in de rivier vlak in de buurt!
• Gaille (1/5): -
• Blanca (10/5): - La señora encantadora, aunque te vigila en el desayuno y cohíbe un poco, no dice nada, pero le dice a la gente a qué hora acaba su franja de desayuno, hace turnos.
• Nisha (6/5): - The bathroom were not in its best
• Leigh (2/5): - Yuck ! Worst place we have stayed in Iceland. Toilet room stuck of mould and sewage. Really weird , mouldy shower. Small room. Bad vibes all round. We hated it so much we cancelled our second night and booked elsewhere, thus, loosing the cost of the room. Complete dive!
• Whitney (8/5): - We thought this place had a decent room and shared kitchen area, although only one out of the two stoves turned on when my husband and I were cooking. The shared bathroom situation was a bit of a challenge for me since I'm in my third trimester, and to get there I had to go through three doors and a brightly lit hallway in the middle of the night. All in all, it's a good place to sleep if you can get through the night without having to pee.
• Maxime (1/5): - Expérience très décevante. J’avais réservé une chambre pour deux personnes un mois avant notre séjour, mais suite à un bug de l’application Booking, deux réservations identiques ont été effectuées pour la même date. Le jour même de l’arrivée, j’ai immédiatement signalé le problème à l’établissement et à Booking. Malgré cette réclamation faite sans délai, aucun geste n’a été accordé : l’hôtel a refusé à trois reprises le remboursement de la chambre en trop, alors que nous n’avons évidemment occupé qu’une seule chambre. Booking, de son côté, n’a proposé aucune solution concrète. Résultat : j’ai payé deux fois pour une seule nuit. Je trouve cela scandaleux et irrespectueux envers le client.
• Höink (7/5): -
• gaelle (6/5): - Bonne situation géographique Coin cuisine grand et fonctionnel Arrivée autonome, nous n avons croisé personne. Les chambres sont tres petites et les murs fins. La salle de bain des femmes était tres propre mais celle des hommes sale et infondée
• Neringa (8/5): Good enough for one night. - Great location, comfortable beds. Quite dirty, especially in communal areas (beds are tidy) Some bathroom doors not closing, dirty toilet rooms. It is cheapest around the area…
• Nicolas (5/5): - Küche wo gleichzeitig zwei Gruppen/Pärchen kochen können. Keine Spülmaschine. Zimmer waren sauber und die Betten war völlig in Ordnung. Die Duschen und Toiletten sind wirklich überhaupt nicht sauber! Wir haben auf das Duschen verzichtet obwohl wir wirklich schmerzfrei sind bei sowas. Außerdem sind es bestimmt 12 oder mehr Zimmer mit sehr vielen Leuten. Dafür gab es nur 2 Toiletten und 2 Duschen das ist mehr als dürftig. Da wird's dann auch in der Küche schnell mal eng. Der Preis war dafür sehr günstig also eine Nacht kann man es aushalten aber öfter nicht...
• Abhineet (8/5): -
• Reanna (10/5): Great stop over location. - Room was great. Loved having a little sink in the room!!
• Lorella123 (10/5): -
• Nováková (8/5): -
• Samantha (2/5): Wouldnt stay again - No front desk for this property. Per the cleaning lady: "if its not between 4pm and 9pm, staff does not usually respond. Like many others i did NOT receive a message with check in info, but I was aware that they frequently have this issue and called in the morning for my door code. Its time for a chahge in how you handle check in, Riverside. Rooms were clean. No rug or shoe rack, so lots of dirt and pebbles get tracked in. Spacious kitchen that is stocked with cooking ware. The walls are thicker than other hostels we have stayed, but the front door slams and can be heard through open windows. We counted 12 rooms, but only 1 bathroom for men. 2 for women. There is an extra unisex one through the kitchen, but the window lines up with the toilet (prepare to moon the neighbors). Showers do not have curtains, or locks on the door. You have to cross the bathroom naked to retrieve your clothes (unless you want them soaked in the shower with you). Mens bathroom also leaks under the wall, so when anyone showers the toilet is soaked around it on the floor. Good price, good location, but just missing too many things and a bit too greedy. We would not stay again.
• fiorentini (5/5): - la posizione staff sgarbato, bagni e aree comuni sporche e senza nulla a disposizione per pulire, cucina con lo stretto indispensabile e un fornello che faceva saltare la luce a tutto lo stabile. i bagni delle donne puzzavano di urina, peli polvere e pezzi di carta igienica ovunque, ho visto bagni pubblici molto più puliti, abbiamo chiesto di mandare qualcuno o fornirci il necessario per pulire ma siamo state prese in giro e trattate con sufficienza. due strofinacci in cucina e basta che puzzavano di sporco e umidità accumulata. in cucina schizzi di cibo sul muro, nel microonde, sulla cappa poi impegnati di polvere. la stanza minuscola, senza neanche un gancio o un appoggino per asciugamani o felpe, solo tre stampelle e basta. niente comodini per appoggiare gli occhiali, le prese tutte da un lato della stanza (sopra uno dei letti). abbiamo seriamente pensato di perdere i soldi per andare altrove. mai più
• Leyre (10/5): -
• Marta (10/5): - Dobra lokalizacja. Pokój czysty, przytulny, ciepły.
• Verified traveler (2/5): A éviter ! - Inadmissible. Une chambre sale : des touffes de cheveux par terre, un évier sale et bouché... Sans parler de la salle de bain pleine de moisissures, sale et avec des traces partout. Les torchons sont sales, tâchés et ne sont semble t'il jamais changés
• Nadin (6/5): -
• Mara (6/5): -
• Dominik (4/5): - Sehr kleines Zimmer mit verstopftem Waschbecken
