Guest Reviews
- Jaime (10/5): - Place was in a scenic spot. It was beautiful and the staff was nice and helpful
- Frank (8/5): - Tolles Zimmer unter dem Dach. Tausch mit Erdgeschosszimmer, da dort kein Doppelbett. Sehr hilfsbereite Dame am check-in. Gut ausgestattete Küche.
- Heather (10/5): - Great stay! Loved our room, was perfect for 3 people and kitchen/common area was just what we needed.
- Timéo (10/5): - Super séjour, personnel accueillant et disponible , la chambre est spacieuse et propre, l’environnement autour de la guesthouse vraiment agréable. Rien à redire
- Laurie (10/5): - The lodge provided a large warm gathering place.
- PHILIP (10/5): - The guest house is set back from Rt. 1, and has the feeling of being somewhat isolated, but upon arrival there were many people onsite as the proprietors also run a campground for tenters and campervans. The campers have their own facilities so they did not mingle with guest house occupants. The outside of the guest house is quite unspectacular but the facilities inside were really nice. The room was spacious and clean. The dining room area was also quite spacious and the use of the kitchen and refrigerator was appreciated. The rest room facilities get high marks. Negatives? None. Would definitely stay here again!
- Johnny (8/5): - Merci à l'hôte pour sa recommandation de "Puffin Island", on a adoré.
- Wei (10/5): - Beautiful and quiet sitting. Very friendly hosts and easy access to the southeast region of Iceland. I wish we could have stayed longer.
- Ron (4/5): - Told the people that pay to take there shoes off! weird

- Etienne (10/5): - Bon logement pour dormir lors d’un road trip. Personnel accueillant.
- CARLA MARIA (10/5): - I due ragazzi che gestiscono la guesthouse sono gentili ed accoglienti. La struttura è essenziale ma ben attrezzata, i letti sono comodi e ha due cucine con un ampio locale. All'esterno c'è un altro edificio per l'accoglienza degli ospiti
- Nicola (10/5): - /
- Ebbe (8/5): - Quiet place. Bunkbeds
- Elena (8/5): - Staff very kind. The hostel is quite big and accessorized
- Amit (8/5): - Nice quiet area with several walking options. Room was OK. Well equipped kitchen. The polish girl at the reception was very helpful. Shared shower may be occupied for a long time when needed.
- Cody (10/5): - Awesome place. Clean and staff was friendly.
- BEATRIZ (10/5): - A pesar de tener que acceder por un camino de tierra y no tener nada cerca para comprar comida o comer. Allí te proporcionan café y te para el desayuno. Te dan sabanas y toallas. Tienes horno, vitroceramica, hervidor y cafetera, además de muchos utensilios de cocina.
- Michael (6/5): - Schöne Lage Für 1 Nacht im echten Hostal Style ok Zimmer war sehr ordentlich..Bett sehr bequem 2 Kochzeilen zur Auswahl. Das Guesthouse hat eine lange Geschichte...daher ist es vom Charakter auf den ersten Blick gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wer kein Chic und was 'Modernes 'erwartet ist hier richtig. Preis Leistung daher ok. Die junge Crew ist sehr freundlich.
- Verified traveler (10/5): First time in Iceland - One night stay to see the eastern side of country before heading to the North. Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that experience was much better than expected. Thought there might be a concern with sharing one shower with all guests. We got there early and used it before others arrived. We both slept like babies.
- Alysha (10/5): - This guesthouse is just off the ring road up a short gravel path. The location once you get up there is absolutely stunning. Theres a small brook running by the guesthouse with a bubbling stream. Its all very beautiful and peaceful. It's a popular site for campers/camping vans but the guesthouse has its own protected facilities. Two kitchens to use meant plenty of space to make breakfast and dinner, and plenty of space to relax. Our room was warm, comfortable, and a good size. We were quite tired but there were good walking opportunities in the area. Host was lovely. Only one shower for the guesthouse (two toilets though) could have been problematic but the guesthouse wasn't busy when we stayed, so no issues with this.
- Tony (10/5): - Such a unique property, had all the basic amenities needed for a good night sleep. They even provide earplugs.
- Andreas (10/5): - Alles wie beschrieben. Freundliches Personal. In der Gemeinschaftsküche war alles vorhanden. Gemeinschaftdusche und WC immer sauber. In der Umgebung schöne Wandermöglichkeiten.
- Megan (10/5): - It was so cozy and the people were so friendly!! I wish we could've stayed here all week!
- Roman (8/5): - Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft. Danke für die interessanten Gespräche und die Foto-Tipps Hans-Peter. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland. M&R
- SARIT (10/5): - We arrived very late and left early morning so we didn't experience the place that much, but from what we did experienced - it is a small and charming guesthouse. We had a great fear from the shared showed & toilets and we were relieved to see the place was perfectly clean. The room we got (of 4 people) felt relatively large and the beds were very comfortable. The general feeling was of a pleasant place to stay Warmly recommended
- Faye (10/5): - Quiet place with welcome host!
- Rick (10/5): - Absolutely stunning area to stay in. Beautiful scenery; I wish we had planned more time to walk around the property cause it was amazing!
- Lisa (10/5): Favorite Place we Stayed in Iceland - We stayed in Airbnb's and hotels on our two-week trip in Iceland and this was my favorite place. I was the most worried about this one because it is a hostel, but the ladies who run this place are amazing. They worked hard to make sure the place is clean and comfortable. It is in the most beautiful/picturesque setting you can imagine. It was lovely and very cozy and homey. There are 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms and we never had to wait long to use either. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Loved it.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 편안하고 친절함 - 산비탈에 있어서 진입로가 가파릅니다. 주변 경치가 좋고 관리하는 분들이 친절합니다. 목조주택이라 방음에 취약하니 층간소음에 예민한분들은 주의하세요.
- Manuel (10/5): Dans la nature - Dans un coin tranquille, le long d'un ruisseau, vous serez accueillis par la maîtresse de maison et son quad. On a le juste nécessaire, cela correspond bien au petit prix.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - This property is one of a kind. Rooms to rent with shared bathroom. We had 4 beds in one room for all of us. 2 full bathroom & 1 half bath to share with other guests. Its located in a unique setting.
- Allan (10/5): Very pleasant stay - Really enjoyed our one night stay. Lovely room and kitchen facilities. The photo of the outside of the building does not do justice to the inside. We had the luxury of the main building to ourselves (separate from the campers kitchen etc). Friendly host and great location in the valley setting.
- Baruch (8/5): Friendly place to sleep over on your Iceland tour. - Excellent place to stay or camp for those who do all around Iceland trip. It has sweet small rooms, common washrooms and large common kitchen. If you come with a camper you parkoutside and enjoy all needed services. On the way up to the lodge there is a beautiful waterfall.
- julien (10/5): - Très bonne guesthouse!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Just a place to sleep. - The rooms are in a building as part of a campground complex. It is more of a hostel than a guesthouse. The particular room we stayed in was very small with low ceilings. I am 6'3" and could stand on the balls of my feet and touch my head to the ceiling. Be aware the booking map shows the house farther down the road. It is at the campground. Also, the road in is a graded dirt road with holes. We had a 2wd compact and had no problem with careful driving. If the road deteriorates further, you might have some minor challenges in a low clearance vehicle. The staff was nice, but all they can really provide is a room with access to a very basic shower room.
- Carmen (8/5): Buen sitio para descansar - Las personas que llevan la casa y el camping son encantadoras. El alojamiento está situado en un lugar tranquilo y agradable.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Super séjour Chambre un peu petite
