Guest Reviews
- Jean-jacques (10/5): - Prévenance et gentillesse des propriétaires . Très confortable, central et proximité des restaurants .
- Sandra (10/5): - Cozy and felt like home! Property was clean. public spaces felt welcoming.
- davy (8/5): - Hotel propre et confortable. Domage qu'il n y est personne pour accueillir.
- PP (10/5): - Cozy house and clean. Could probably improve on soundproofing the rooms as we could hear snoring and murmuring from other rooms at night. Some guest tends to overuse the kitchen for heavy meals and we had to wait for our turn. However we do loved our stay and it has a very nice view from my room - I could see faint aurora. Would come back again!
- Laura (10/5): - Ottima sistemazione con bagno privato. Ho apprezzato molto l'upgrade che mi è stata offerta. Buona la colazione presso un locale vicino.
- Wan-Chen (10/5): 獨立小屋舒適乾淨 - 獨立小屋，廚房得去後面但很近。房間有冰箱很方便。附近有小豬超市走路大概10分鐘。入住一切自助，屋主會寄信通知。
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This guesthouse was within walking distance of a pleasant diner, close to gas stations and easily accessible. The property is well maintained and spotless. The rooms have adequate space and there are common areas and kitchen privileges.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Bien située. Pres de tous les commerces. Restaurant â proximité. Salles de bain tres propres. La chambre #1 que nous avions etait spacieuse.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Ottima posizione, check-in veloce. Cucina perfetta con tutto l’occorrente
- Christine (10/5): Jolie guesthouse - Jolie guesthouse dans quartier agréable. Une cuisine partagée permet de préparer petit déjeuner et repas. Sdb partagée impeccable.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Everything was perfect, except could’ve used better black out curtains for summer midnight sun months. But great comfy spot.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Biggest issue was soap dispensers in every shared water closets were empty. We stayed two nights and never addressed. Room very small with sloped ceilings where we bumped our heads numerous times reaching for items on nightstands. Rug in room curled up on corner which caused tripping.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Das Zimmer war ausreichen groß und gut ausgestattet. Die Küche war gleichzeitig Aufenthaltsraum in ausreichender Größe. Zwei Bäder mit sehr guter Ausstattung.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Accueil inexistant. Decouverted une cuisine au depart.petit déjeuneriserable.prix tres excessif.
- Gail (10/5): Great little guesthouse - Very clean. Comfortable bed but as I have wished all throughout Iceland it sure would be nice to have an extra pillow or two in the room. Next trip I am definitely bringing my own pillow!! Watch as you use their unique folding shower. If you take a normal bath the water piles up and doesn’t drain and the water will end up all over the bathroom floor! Found this out too late. Interesting concept in design but not intended for normal water use I don’t think. Over all a lovely place and we loved the town also. Would recommend a trip over the mountain to Seydisfjordur. It is wild.
- Lori (10/5): - Dry nice a clean place. Convenient for a trip around the Ring Road. I would stay again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nothing around one dinner and a restaurant that did not open. Bathroom smell, room very small for two person. No one to check you in or out. It’s worth more of your money to stay at the hotel. Will not stay there again.
- Andres Anibal (10/5): - Excelente
- Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient Guesthouse - This was quite a good Guesthouse compared to others in Iceland! We received check in instructions the day before arrival and had no issues checking in/out. If you chose the breakfast option, you’re given a voucher for a diner up the road (literally less than a minute drive) which had a decent selection for breakfast. There were also lots of places nearby for dinner. The only thing that was slightly annoying were the bedroom curtains as they let in (what felt like) a fair bit of light which made sleeping a bit difficult when the sun doesn’t really set until 11pm at night - this could just be something we aren’t used to not being from Iceland but we found other places we stayed in Iceland did have better curtains. Either way, still a great place to stay for the price :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice room i love this place and the décoration and the kitchenette
- marcela (10/5): Great Guesthouse!! - Very cozy, confortable and clean... Very close to restaurant and Cafe....full stocked kitchen. they even had a booklet with info about the area and different things that can be done.... Check in was very easy, received and email with all the necessary details.
- Boogs (10/5): - The place was very clean and well maintained. The rooms and shared facility were excellent.
- pauline (10/5): Assez bien ..sauf pour la sdb "privée" - Bel hôtel, belle chambre, environnement calme Le seul hic , pour la salle de bain dite privée, elle se trouve dans le couloir accessible à tous , même si il y en a deux ...nous n avons jamais su laquelle était la nôtre ...donc pas de salle de bain privée
- GS (8/5): - We had a private room and bathroom separate to the main building but had access to the kitchen to cook. The room and bathroom were big and clean. However our room was right beside the road and can get quite noisy sometimes. Apart from that, absolutely loved our stay
- Rebecca (8/5): Cozy stay - Very clean!
- William (10/5): Great William Mccoy - The stay was great we were walking distance to most everything
- Brett (10/5): Very friendly staff - Clean, good kitchen facilities and friendly staff
- Spencer (8/5): Reasonibly priced near SFO - The hotel had free parking and breakfast. I needed a cheap hotel near the SFO so I could pickup a friend and this hotel worked perfectly.
- Eva (10/5): - We stayed in one of the lovely Annex rooms. It is spacious and has a private bathroom, a table with 2 chairs, a fridge, a microwave, a kettle and tea bags and a coffee maker with coffee inserts. We were very comfortable there. There was a kitchen in the main house for everyone to use. We arrived early and there was a buzzer next to the door that allowed us to contact Cleo’s cell phone. She let us come into the main house to have a coffee and tea while we waited for her to arrive. She was very welcoming. The location was great, right across from a Reindeer museum and near everything. Thank you for a great stay.
- Theresa (10/5): - Loved this cute place. The host was very friendly and welcoming. He took the time to show us around and explained the rules. Location was within walking distance of anything you needed. Breakfast was provided and was the best of any place we stayed in Iceland. Wish we had longer to stay here.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 方便煮飯,房東親切,周圍許多商店看方便！ - 很好、方便！

- Thomas (10/5): - Nice clean, well maintained lovely house.
- Liz (10/5): Homey atmosphere in quiet neighborhood - One of my favorite stops around the ring round. Very homelike, surrounded by trees and birds. Staff very helpful. Within walking distance to cafe Nielsen and other eateries.
- Daniel (10/5): Sound sleep - Nice location, quiet area, well-maintained. clean room. not bad breakfast.
- Rolf (10/5): Alles bestens - sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt; alles fußläüfig erreichbat.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Verbesserungswürdig - nettes, kleines Haus mit geschmackvoller Einrichtung, aber viel zu viele Gäste für die Anzahl der Bäder, lediglich eine Küche, Geschirr musste selbst gespült werden kein gutes Frühstück - vorgerichtet, stand im Kühlschrank, alles abgepackt, rel. lieblos und abgezählt (3 Scheiben Toastbrot, Scheiblettenkäse, Cafe musste selbst gemacht werde etc.)
- Halldor (8/5): - Nice and clean guesthouse. The room was a bit small. The breakfast we had was good.
- Claire (10/5): - Nous avons séjourné une nuit dans ce guesthouse. Chambre et parties communes (cuisine et salles de bain) propres. Nous avons eu la chambre avec 3 lits simples, elle était spacieuse et agréable. On avait notre propre petit frigo et bouilloire, et table. Cuisine commune équipée de tout ce qu’il faut avec cafetière senseo mise à dispo. Présence de 3 salles de bain pour l´ensemble des chambres (environ 5). Je recommande.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great host! Gave us some good travel tips, excellent info in room, very clean and comfortable!
- Bonnie (10/5): Great place to stay in Egilsstadir! - Birta Guesthouse was great! The owners were super friendly! They were there when we arrived to check in and live close by. They showed us around the property and made sure we had everything we needed. The room was a good size with lots of windows. Everything was clean and cozy. Full kitchen facilities with any kitchenware you might need along with complimentary coffee/tea. We only stayed one night, but this would be the perfect place to stay if you’re planning to spend a few days in the area.
- Karen (10/5): Good enough for us - Easy to find even without wifi. Check in was easy and our host came very quickly and was a very relaxed, helpful and pleasant man. We only used the place as a sleep-over but it suited us well. Bed is firm, shower is hot and doesn’t run out, kitchen is big and well equipped so all was good.
- Elaine (10/5): We would definitely stay here again! - We had a great stay at Birta Guesthouse! Convenient location while traveling the ring road and there are a couple of grocery stores down the street. The room was very clean and there were 3 bathrooms in the house -so it wasn’t a problem sharing with the other guests. There’s also a small kitchen with a microwave so we could heat up food. Friendly owner gave us tips for our trip and had maps of the area.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Comfortable and clean place - Birta Guesthouse was clean and comfortable place. The beds were comfortable. There is an oven and cooking oil and condiments to cook with. Shower was nice and hot. Wifi was pretty fast.
- PEIJU (10/5): Very nice guest house - Very nice guest house! The host is very nice and friendly. Room is clean and comfortable
- Jia Quan (10/5): - Friendly and great host! The host made an effort to go through and passed us some information leaflets for the places we can visit, and where to catch the Northern Lights! Luckily we did saw at the place as recommended by him!
- Tee (10/5): Great hotel with everything you need - Birta has all the ammentities that are needed to be comfortable during your stay. The owner was able to provide us with directions on how to find the northern lights - which we were able to see on our last day!! Very happy with our booking.
