Guest Reviews
- Richard (10/5): - Very clean, quiet location and great views!
- Lisa (8/5): - Room was clean. Area was fairly remote, but on someone's farm, which was fine with us. I think the weather hindered our stay. It was rainy cold and extremely windy, so we couldn't enjoy the outdoors which was why we wanted to stay there. The wind blew all night long, you could hear it in the main space but was very quiet in the bedroom. The weather wasn't the fault of the location. So all in all we were happy, warm, and safe.
- Joshua (10/5): - Wonderful stay! Highly recommend
- Ashley (10/5): - Outstanding stay, views are breathtaking, everything you need is provided
- Linda (10/5): - This was an easy and convenient stop on our Ring Road trip. We were hoping to see the Northern Lights but just too cloudy. The unit was clean and had what we needed.
- Steve (10/5): - The place was truly idyllic.
- Monica (10/5): - We spent one night and wish we would've stayed more. The view out of the guesthouse was gorgeous. It was easy to find, clean and quiet.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a great stay at this place. It is near to the
- Jesse (10/5): - Loved this quiet cabin! Can see seljalandfoss in the distance. Would’ve been a great spot for aurora viewing, though we had a very cloudy night. Small kitchenette for any cooking you need, but we enjoyed dinner nearby at Hygge. Would stay again!
- Jenny (10/5): - Beautiful backdrop of mountain and land.
- McRae (10/5): - We had an amazing time - and didn’t realize we could see the waterfalls from our deck! Great home base - clean and lovely.
- Brendan (10/5): - My girlfriend's favorite place we stayed on our trip.
- Inese (10/5): - Amazing views of mountains.
- Nicole (8/5): - This location is remote, however PERFECT if you are making a day trip to the Westman Islands as it's only 15 minutes from the ferry terminal. It was a perfect place for us to land after a day in the south enjoying the iceberg lagoons, and easy to get up and get to the ferry for a morning ride to the Westmans. Very peaceful. A little tight for a family of 4, but well appointed and very clean. I would recommend!
- Saptadwipa (10/5): - One of the best guest house i have ever stayed..surrounding by nature. Very clean. Small but verty functioning. I wish i could stay longer. If we ever visit iceland again, we wil surely book the Bru guesthouse again!
- RONAK (10/5): - Very good property location. Safe and comfortable for family. Access could have been better if access road were paved.
- Eve (10/5): - Coffee maker would be lovely.
- Eileen (10/5): - Cute cottages with amazing scenery!
- David (10/5): - Bru Guesthouse was everything we wanted in this trip. A quiet cozy little cottage with a view of the Icelandic countryside with the beautiful Gljúfrabúi waterfall in the distance.
- Padma (8/5): - Clean property with beautiful view and good location for hitting the Golden circle route. Overall reasonably priced versus hotel options in the area. If going with a family of over two, space will feel a bit cramped. Just going in with that awareness will make it a better experience.
- Jo (8/5): - Beautiful view! Met all our needs. It was very nice that there was coffee. Warm and cozy, not drafty.
- Kayla (10/5): - I highly recommend the Bru Guesthouse. The cottages are very thoughtfully appointed and well-maintained. The set-up was great and it was very modern and comfortable. Our best stay in Iceland!
- Vanessa (10/5): - This was the best place that we stayed in Iceland. On a clear day, we can see the waterfall from our cottage. Bryndis and her staff were so easy to communicate with when we needed more household items. I highly recommend this place and we would rebook in a heartbeat.
- kristina (10/5): - Our stay was really peaceful. The location is ~2miles off of the main highway on gravel & we had a view of one of the larger waterfalls in the distance. Beds were comfortable. Pull out sofa was ok. Everything worked. Our sm 1 BR was well appointed. We stayed 2nts w/no issues. fyi: Hot water is not geothermal so there is a limit to the hot water usage. Check in was a breeze and there were ports to plug in an electric vehicle.
- Mark (8/5): Comfortable, scenic, remote, limited hot water. - Very clean and comfortable accommodations, but quite small cabins. Hot water is limited, enough for one shower, need to wait 2 to 3 hours for another shower. No breakfast served and nearest food is about 10 miles away. Long gravel road to arrive, so remote off the main road in an already very remote area.
- Mark (10/5): Very nice cabin with wide open views - Great place. It's got a great view even in the summer without northern lights to look at. It was comfy and everything was super easy for check in and check out.
- Sheshadri (10/5): - Beautiful location. Serene surroundings. Lots of birds. Closer to waterfalls and glaciers.
- Shana (10/5): - We loved our stay here! It was so scenic and comfortable. All of the necessary conveniences are thought of and the location is a perfect base for exploring nearby sights.
- Tania (10/5): - Location was great.
- len (10/5): - Nice little cottage on farm land. The kitchen was a little small (little counter space) to make any large dinners, but space was large enough to make simple meals. Was clean and quiet and close to waterfalls. There was a 4K drive on a dirt road (in not the best condition) to get there, buit we had a nice stay
- matthew (10/5): - Very nice place. We had 4 adults in room which was a bit tight but manageable. Gorgeous views and very quiet . Manager responded immediately when we needed something. The only thing is no conditioner in the shower, not a big deal but just know that ladies lol
- Kelsey (10/5): Will return the next time I’m in Iceland - Beautiful view and location, love the privacy of our own little cabin. Very homey! Would love to come back and experience the northern lights
- CHUCK (10/5): - The location, view, quietness. Everything was great. Easy check in and out. I'd stay here again!
- Kris (10/5): Very clean and comfortable - We had a very nice stay at the Bru Guesthouse. The location is close to a lot of attraction but feels secluded, with a nice outdoor space and even a grill. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, with good bedding. The only issue was the check-in process. We spent a good 30 minutes after we arrived sitting in our car and trying to figure out how to access our place, because none of us received an email that should have provided the cabin number and door code (there were 2 separate reservations). We had to look up our reservations through hotels.com and send a message (and the response is it can take a couple days to respond). Eventually the owner waved us over to his house to give us the info, and said his emails are blocked. I can only imagine how confusing this must be if you arrive at night and in the dark.
- Angela (10/5): - This place was situated in an open field. The windows allowed for optimum viewing and we were able to watch birds and see the moon come up right from our beds. So relaxing and exactly what we were looking for.
- Deborah (10/5): - The location was great for us and the quiet, serene location was amazing.
- Diviya (10/5): - Best stay on our 7 night road trip. Wish we had booked it for longer. Love to come again for a longer period. Limited space with everything you may require.
- Nazanin (8/5): - Very small; otherwise great.
- tsung Lun (10/5): - Great location with fantastic view. Large windows facing the mountains to enjoy with coffee. Clean rooms and comfy beds.
- Crystal (10/5): - Peaceful setting. Cute little place.
- Brian (10/5): - Really nice “tiny house”. Super clean. Very open land. Can see the waterfall way off in the distance.
- Sean (8/5): - I think this property was great. The location fit our travel plans perfect. My only complaint is the door lock was the worst. So, as we are freezing trying to get in...the dead bolt will not work. 15 minutes later we get it open. As we get in, we find that your suppose to hold the handle up then turn the dead bolt. But...when we run to the waterfall we can not hold the handle up and lock the door. 15 minutes later it just somehow works. Please change locks and door handles. Otherwise...i'd give this place an excellent.
- Priscilla W (10/5): - Near waterfalls. Convenient location
- lilly (6/5): - I love the little cottages, and the owners of the property were were helpful. When we got slow leak in the car tire they even helped us give the tire a pump. The only thing I think that needs improvement is that the internet connection is painfully slow and the television was an older model that we could not link to our phone to stream a movie
- Shivaani (2/5): - Nicely decorated property. During the stay due to high winds the door swung open while I was sleeping. After this
- Sophia (10/5): - Such a unique living experience. Living in an own personal hut near the mountains is such a great way to be in the nature. Private parking available. There is limited hot water in the room but this is a given when living more off the grid.
- Melissa (10/5): - Beautiful area! Guesthouse had everything we needed. Very clean and easy to find. Close to waterfalls and beautiful mountain views.
- Alfred (10/5): - Amazing place to stay, quiet, incredible views, beautiful at morning. Well equiped.
- Shravan (10/5): - Very serene and quiet but not far from the attractions on the ring road
- Dayuan (10/5): - Easy to see northern lights
- Yuting (10/5): - Nice
- Atit (10/5): - It was very clean, easy to locate and at a great location. All the amenities were so nice. Wps definitely go again!!!
- Jorge (10/5): - This was exactly what I was looking for quiet, cozy, and isolated. Stepping outside the cottages to see the northern lights was a dream come true. For me, it’s a five-star experience, and I’d happily stay here again on my next trip to Iceland. For those who need to know: the hot water is sufficient for standard showers, but if you tend to linger, you might want to keep that in mind. Otherwise, it’s an absolutely wonderful place."
- Tammy (10/5): - This was a serene place to stay. 15 minutes from town but a waterfall view. Communication was excellent. Can’t wait to return.
- yeisamari (8/5): - The stay was really good, the cottage is very comfortable and has space even being a tiny house like is very spacious . The only problem is that there’s no hot water, you can have maybe 10-15 mins of hot water in a day! In a freezing snowy day it is not a good situation.
- Amey (10/5): Great property - Excellent property. We saw northern lights… Happy….
- david (10/5): - Awesome place. Very cozy. Was there with kids but would return - very romantic.
- Holly (10/5): - Stayed here with our toddler during our winter Iceland road trip. Check in was super easy and the cabin had all the essentials we needed! Loved the feel of the cabin and would be the perfect place to view the aurora if it’s visible.
- MacKenzie (10/5): - Great property! Very clean. Upon entering the guesthouse was very warm which was nice since Iceland is very cold in Jan. We were able to see the Northern Lights so clearly here since there’s very little light pollution. Area was very quiet. Would definitely stay here again.
- Zihan (10/5): - Decent place, around an hour from Vik and an hour and half from Reykjavik. Nice place to see northern lights
- Yvette (10/5): Charming Guesthouse - Our stay was absolutely delightful! The property was cozy, spotless and had everything we needed for a night stay. The surrounding area was peaceful, with stunning views! This place is a gem. Highly recommended!
- Brendan (10/5): - Pristine, brand new, loved the vibe. Hosts very good at communicating. Just plan for breakfast logistics.
- Seth (10/5): - Solid
- Domenica (10/5): - Great stay. Beautiful view and comfortable amenities. The check in was seamlesss
- Jacalyn (10/5): - Great place to see the northern lights too!
- Janice (10/5): - Had all the bare essentials me and my friends needed. There was an annoying tapping sound coming from the heating unit that bothered us throughout the night, but otherwise a decent place.
- Christopher (10/5): Restful night - Very nice and comfortable. Be sure to have a 4 x 4 vehicle to reach the place. There's a small plug in stove but no oven. However there is a microwave and the blinds shut out light very well for a good night's sleep.
- Dave (8/5): - Very quiet guesthouse Other than the other guesthouses there is nothing there. Great to look at the landscape and if lucky the aurura
- Hanni (10/5): - Excellent place to stay!
- melanie (10/5): - This was one of our favorite places we stayed in our two weeks in Iceland. The place is clean and well appointed with a full kitchen. The most surprising thing about it was that it is private but has views to die for. The units are positioned so you don't see any of the other ones, making you feel like you are completely alone when you are watching the aurora borealis show. It is located near all the top sites of the south coast. Really good jump off point.
- Jodie (10/5): A Great stay at Bru Guesthouse - We loved this family cabin - would definitely recommend staying here. It was super comfortable.
- Ia (10/5): - My husband and I loved the guesthouse. Self check in and check out was simple and easy. The view from the guesthouse was immaculate. The building was warm and clean. The kitchen had the essentials. The communication with staff was fast and helpful. The beds were comfortable. We would definitely recommend this place and would likely stay here in the future.
- Suzanna (8/5): - It was very close to some amazing locations. Had a pretty view looking out the big windows at the front. Overall a wonderful stay although the place itself feels very small even for two travellers. Comfortable beds
- Denise (10/5): - This place contactless check in which went smoothly due to having proper communication from the owners. This unit was spacious and comfortable. The kitchenette was adequate for cooking and fortunately I had some experience with cooking on an induction stove due to them having an induction unit to help us cook. this property is located next to one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland that allows you to walk behind the waterfall. We could also see it from our room. This is a great location to explore this area of Iceland.
- Andrea (10/5): - I would recommend this place for everyone. Loved the place and the owner,very friendly. We would definitely stay here again. Loved the out and away fro city life. 19 for 10 Great Place
- Katherine (10/5): - Really great kitchen set-up (small fridge, microwave, and hot plate). Very quite and clean.
- Savanna (10/5): - Everything was perfect! We loved the large windows against the wide open landscape, which made for a great northern lights viewing. The accommodation was spotless and comfy. They provided several heaters that kept us plenty warm.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Such a cute little place! Clean, modern, tranquil setting. Wish we would have stayed longer than one night! Loved it!
- Belinda (10/5): Incredible stay! Highly recommend! - I stayed in one of the regular cottages with my family (4 adults) and it was easily the best place we stayed on our entire Iceland trip. The cottage was small but comfortably fit all of us. Kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed plenty of cosy teas while admiring the amazing view. We didn’t have any issues with the shower/hot water- 2 of us showered in the evening and 2 of us showered in the morning. Excellent communication from the owners.
- Shiu-Ying (8/5): - Kitchen is a little tight. Everything else is very good.
- Angela (10/5): - Lovely setting!
- Yichun (10/5): - Property is very clean and cozy with a kitchen and an outdoor grill. Beautiful view of mountains and farmland. Close to lava center and other must see sites. Less than 20 minutes to ferry to Westland islands.
- Nannan (10/5): - Excellent location, just near 2 famous waterfalls. Even quite small house, it is clean, functional and warm. Plus the excellent view. Recommend.
- Ethan (6/5): Great location and view but terrible bed - Loved the area and the hotel itself it was clean and well maintained and had privacy that was amazing and great view of the land. The main negativethat really affected the guest house was the "double bed" which is an absolutely rock hard couch with 1 pillow and 2 scratchy couch pillows. It was comprable to slewping on the floor and i would highly suggest for the money paid to stay there they upgrade the beds.great location and view as i said but terrible comfort after a long day of hiking.
- Anna (2/5): - if you like warm shower-Don't book this place. Hot water in shower was only for 5 min. There were 4 girls in the group, some skipped shower some took cold shower. this place can't accommodate 4 persons, maybe 1. there was a note asking to conserve hot water. First person who took the shower conserved. And then we waited for an hour for hot water to warm up. the note lied - there was no hot water after one hour. I took cold shower standing in the corner, crying. It was pretty horrible. all my joy from the cuteness of the place and beautiful location was gone after the cold shower. Place was not worth the money. Disappointed.
- James (10/5): - Exceptional service
- John (10/5): - Beautiful setting and very private. Comfortable beds and furniture and well-appointed kitchen. Great location from which to start an Icelandic adventure!
- Samantha (10/5): - This was a beautiful guesthouse with a great view. It was the only accommodation we stayed at that offered both heat and a/c (apparently a/c is uncommon in Iceland). The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and we thought the size of the room was good. The only two things we didn’t love was that there was construction equipment that blocked part of our view, but that is out of the control of the host. My only tip for the host on improvement would be that the blackout curtains had a few hole in the fabric and they didn’t cover edge to edge that well, which made the room pretty bright for sleeping. But we would still stay here again if we were to come back to Iceland,
- Katelyn (10/5): - Nice, clean cabin close to waterfalls and other south coast destinations. Had everything we could need and more, very efficient use of space
- JOSEPH (10/5): - great locally owned property
- Craig (10/5): - This was an amazing stay in the middle of the wide open. There was an impressive hill/mount? Nearby that the young adults climbed for amazing views. We loved it!
- Danielle (10/5): - AWESOME stay for our family with small children. Beautiful unit, very clean and so comfortable. The views were amazing. The bed was comfortable as well. I highly recommend this property especially for families with small children.
- Marcelo (10/5): - Loved the stay here! Great view to the mountains and near by many popular locations. I would most definitely stay here again.
- Craig (10/5): - This was a great stay!
- Tammy (10/5): - Very secluded but beautiful. Close to waterfall. 20 minutes to restaurants. It was like a tiny house ! Very clean. Can’t beat the view.
- Janelle (10/5): - This guesthouse was perfect! Nice tiny home with great amenities! Very comfortable and cozy.
- Carrie (10/5): - Wonderful night at Bru Guesthouse. Master bedroom bed was really comfy. Could use a tv in master bedroom. Sofa bed mattress was a little too firm. Views are spectacular.
- Adriano (10/5): - Great spot for a stop along our multi-day tour of the southern coast and eastern fjords. Very easy to find and access. We split two cottages between 6 people and it was very comfortable.
- Wesylvia (10/5): - Receptionist is very helpful and friendly. Everything is perfect
- Kyle (8/5): - Great location, stunning views, decent size and well equipped.
