Guest Reviews

• Dennis (10/5): Nice place in the countryside - The guest house is by the lake and the view is really nice! The kitchen and bathroom is shared and well equipped, there are 2 washroom in the floor, one large and one small, the room is a little bit small, it is even smaller than the larger bath room but warm and cozy, it is okay for a good night's sleep and rest for another long drive next day.
• Javier (6/5): Limpio y tranquilo - El sitio es una finca particular donde vive una familia. Nos recibió una persona que parecía tener un poco de prisa y no nos dio muchas indicaciones. La habitación estaba limpia, con baño privado. Un poco pequeña si llevas maletas grandes. El wifi funcionaba lento. Hay un salón grande fuera de las habitaciones y una cocina completamente equipada por si quieres cocinar. Recomiendo llevar comida para cenar porque alrededor no hay absolutamente nada y está lejos de cualquier sitio para comer o comprar. En general es un poco raro por la falta de indicaciones.
• Ella (10/5): - Clean and lovely room. Very comfortable. Had a private bathroom. Kitchen area had everything you could need but you must bring food as you are a ways from town. Great stay.
• Roni (10/5): - Room, bathroom, and shared areas (kitchen, living space) very clean. Check in was easy, somehow check in person knew when we arrived and met us at the outside door. However, the description incorrectly indicated breakfast was available, and there are no places nearby to get breakfast.
• Jorge (8/5): - The property is okay, looks clean, and the staff were very welcoming.
• Emma (10/5): - Very secluded and quiet. The host was very accommodating with our requested late check in. The rooms were very nice, and it had a nice common sitting and kitchen area
• Rita (10/5): - It is slightly remote but there is staff living next door so you can just go knock on their door. Serene surroundings. No breakfast. Expedia site said breakfast available for fee, which is not correct. There is a big kitchen if you want to bring food and cook.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Pleasant stay, fully renovated location with impeccable cleaning.
• Rebecca (8/5): - Beautiful area in the middle of nowhere. Owner was helpful though has limited english. Room was slightly outdated but clean and comfortable.
• Miriam (10/5): - Exceptional hospitality.
• Kari (8/5): - A nice quest house that was bit off the beaten track. It was nice and clean and quiet. I had thought breakfast was included but it was not. We had food with us so it wasn't a big deal. The shared kitchen was very nice.
• Elena (10/5): - Amazing view and it comfortable ammenities although only one plug in the room
• Konstantin (10/5): - alles top
• Rona (10/5): - Lovely property by the lake. Good facilities to cook and spacious dining area.
• Holly (10/5): - It’s by a small lake, very quiet, with beautiful lake views. Our group of 8 people shared kitchen and dinning area among ourselves. Each room has own bathroom. Breakfast is provided with no charge. Check in and out are very easy. Thanks for a very nice stay.
• Nadine (10/5): - Es gab ein kleines Frühstück. Die Lage am See war sehr idyllisch.
• George (8/5): - Fijne accommodatie, goede prijs prestatie. Soms wat bakluchtjes uit de keuken waar we dichtbij sliepen. Maar zeker aan te bevelen!!!
• Sara (8/5): - Leider etwas hellhörig, ansonsten sehr gutes Frühstück, gut ausgestattete Küche, die genutzt werden darf, Sitzgelegenheiten im Aufenthaltsraum, sehr freundlicher Empfang
• Robert (10/5): - Clean, comfortable, very friendly welcome , easy check in, good breakfast …… and an astonishing location. All in all excellent
• Louise (10/5): - The guesthouse was lovely, well laid out with the shared kitchen, dinning area and entertainment area. Heaps of space, rooms are clean and very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and shared areas! There is a huge area on the accommodation location to explore to see sheep and Icelandic horses next to a lake! Me and my husband had a good afternoon doing that once we settled into our rooms. Would recommend to others 👍
• Ingvi Julius (8/5): Rolig, rent og hyggelig - Meget rent og koselig sted, der man kan bestille frokost, eller ete medbrakt mat. Det er en stol på nobelt rom, skulle gjerne vært to stoler der, ellers er alt faktisk perfekt👍
• Verified traveler (8/5): peaceful lake - Beautiful location on a quiet lake with horses nearby (and sheep farther away). Room and bathroom were spartan and clean. Large kitchen and supplies to prepare your own meals (which you may want to do since this is fairly isolated).
• jun (10/5): - The reception is at second floor if shared bathroom rooms, with reception sign on the building. The staff is very nice, provided me extra service
• Alba (10/5): - Clean and comfortable. Beautiful setting around the lake.
• Ana (8/5): - Lo mejor de todo son las vistas al lago. Echo de menos una mejor iluminación tanto en la cocina como en el baño y una lámpara más en la mesilla. También estaría bien que pusieran una alfombrilla para salir de la ducha. La mini cocina no tiene puerta y se oyen todos los ruidos.
• Bobby (10/5): Lovely place - It was about 20km from Blonduos by the lake but the road was fine. Really nice place with kitchen facilities. Spacious room.
• Graeme (10/5): Enjoyable stay out of town - Out of town, but the restaraunt is great for a meal & the breakfast quite satisfying. You can walk around the cemetery & there is a little cute church there as well.
• myra (10/5): - This place was a perfect place to stay "off the beaten path" along our road trip. Beautiful views of the water! The breakfast was good and convenient, as it is about a 15-20 min drive to any restaurants/markets. Nearest town (Blonduos) has a great restaurant in town (Teni's) that serves Ethiopian food!
• Peter (10/5): Beautiful & peaceful! - It was a very neat room with a large viewing window, a large shared bathroom but a small kitchen. Nice and neat house. Beautiful and peaceful environment!
• Bruno (10/5): - Étape située dans un bel endroit (vue sur le lac) de notre périple. Gite bien équipé et agréable
• Judy (10/5): - Excellent accommodations, very scenic location.
• Cynthia (8/5): - Nice place but very basic. She checked us in early which was really appreciated as we were in a snowstorm. The place has all the necessities but no breakfast or dinner you need to drive to Blondus for those. That’s about 25 minutes drive.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Quaint Home Stay - This property is worth the money for what you get. Room was cozy and clean and the water pressure in the bathroom was great. The location was perfect for where we needed to get and the view was stunning.
• Dean (10/5): - Beautiful guesthouse we shared with two lovely canadian ladies.Property is outstanding,very quiet,about 20 mins from Blonduos.Staff were lovely and made sure we felt comfortable.
• Gang (10/5): - Great stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hefði viljað vita af setustofunni hjá matsalnum það voru útlendingar að elda sér mat í eldhúsinu í húsinu sem við gistum í þannig að við þurftum að vera í herberginu vissum ekki af setustofunni
• Tatjana (10/5): - What a lovely guesthouse! Right on the lake, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and decent bathrooms, a kitchen for cooking or warming food, comfy sofas in the lounge area and a great breakfast. The owner was very friendly on check in and at breakfast. 5 out of 5!
• Angela (8/5): - This is a family-run guesthouse, situated on their farm that is on a lovely lake. The guesthouse was clean and safe, albeit a bit spartan. Nonetheless, it had everything we needed. There is a shared kitchen for the guests to use and we made our own dinner, as there are no restaurants we found close by. Breakfast is provided. While a bit off the beaten path, the location was lovely and a great place for hikers and those exploring off the main highway. The check in/out process was very easy and the young lady who greeted us was very kind and helpful.
• Jim (8/5): Recommeded - Extremely clean! Nice place. Prompt and friendly host who showed us our room. Lovely lake and mountain views from front deck. Clean communal kitchen with coffee!
• Laura (10/5): - Casa sul lago meravigliosa. Abbiamo Dormito nella dependance carinissima e super attrezzata con salotto e cucina bellissima e attrezzata. Siamo stati accolti da una ragazzina gentilissima e carina. Ci sarei rimasta diversi giorni se il Nostro viaggio non avesse previsto diverse tappe. Consigliatissimo.
• Lindsey (10/5): One night stay - Despite being closed, the guesthouse still honoured a reservation made very early this year. Their flexibility and the service was wonderful and we appreciated being able to spend the night. An absolutely spectacular location overlooking the lake, the guest rooms and common area are very spacious and comfortable.
• Dominic (10/5): - Tolle Lage, sehr sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, gerne wieder! :)
• Quentin (10/5): Très belle vue et habitat bien agencé - Bien accueillis, chambres propres et bien agencées. Grande cuisine et très grand séjour. Très bel emplacement avec superbe vue sur le lac.
• Katelyn (10/5): Amazing location - Amazing location, very rural (like most of Iceland). facility were good.
• Mari (10/5): - El enclave espectacular para las auroras, que pena no hubiera
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Decent place with a nice lake view. We managed to see the northern lights at this place.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The Guesthouse Svinavatn would be perfect for an extended stay for a family.
• Julian (10/5): Good - Scenic location near a lake. Good condition and comfortable
• Melissa (8/5): - This place was a good value for the money - so really not any complaints. It meets low budget expectations. Check-in was easy. The location was beautiful. The GPS did not know where this place was so we had to stop at a gas station and ask - luckily the attendant knew exactly how to direct us.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - +Very remote and stunning location +Beautiful views across the lake +Great large room (upgraded) +Great kitchen & facilities
• jerome (10/5): - Accueil trés sympathique et plein de bons conseils par notre hôte qui parlait parfaitement français. Cadre magnifique. propreté et confort exemplaires. Belle étape à ne pas rater.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Ein süßes kleines Gästehaus am Svinavatn - quasi mitten im Nirgendwo - perfekt zum Nordlichter beobachten! ♥ Wir hatten uns in das Nebenhaus eingebucht, um ein Zimmer mit eigenem Bad zu haben und hatten zunächst auch das komplette Haus für uns alleine! "Leider" kamen dann spontan noch zwei andere Paare, aber trotzdem konnten wir problemlos im Aufenthaltsraum noch Bundesliga (! :D) schauen, bis wir nochmal für die Nordlichter vor die Tür gegangen sind. Das Haus an sich ist ein umgebauter Schweinestall, glaube ich, und erinnert etwas an eine Jugendherberge - großer Speisesaal mit kleinen Tischen, eine kleine Wohnzimmerecke und eine große Küche mit insgesamt drei Kühlschränken (sinnvollerweise in der Nebensaison nur einer in Betrieb) und allem, was man sonst zum Kochen braucht. Wäre also auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt super geeignet! Das Zimmer selbst war klein aber fein und schön sauber; ebenso das Bad. Betten sehr bequem. Leider waren die Handtücher etwas hart, hier würde vielleicht etwas Weichspüler oder ein Trockner nicht schaden ;) Alles in allem würden wir auf jeden Fall wieder hier übernachten! Von der Ringstraße aus muss man zwar über eine Schotterstraße zum Gästehaus fahren, aber auch im Winter (März) ging das super und hat noch viele schöne Ausblicke beschert, die man von der Ringstraße aus nicht hat! :)
• P.C. (8/5): A quiet vacation place with limited service - This hotel is really remote. MyIt needs 20-30 min drive to a near by town for eating. Unfortunately, there is no breakfast or restaurant. I booked this guest house in order to see Northern Lights, and we did. We just needed to walk away 100m from the hotel and there is no lights around us! The staff is very friendly and welcoming, but she will be leaving after the summer. As it is a guest house, don't compare it with a hotel. The scenery is very good - lake, mountains, pastures, sheep, etc. Good quiet place to spend a night.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice! - Very nice and comfortable stay. The host was nice and informative. Rooms were clean. I think there's about 8 rooms, and we got the double bed with ensuite. Spacious rooms, good sized kitchen and nice common area.
• WEIJEN (10/5): - 客房整潔 人員服務良好 週邊景色佳 有廚房可以使用
• James (8/5): Country home - Nice place, clean, comfortable, good value. Had a well equipped kitchen, friendly owners. Only negative was it was noisy, could hear all the conversations and activities going on around you. Good chance to see Northern lights since it is away from the town.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent! - The best guesthouse in Iceland we've been so far. The room and private toilet was excellent, clean, new. The house has common kitchen.
• Cristel (10/5): Charming! - Very nice view nearby de lake. We spend a wonderfull afternoon watching the horses and just walking by. The guesthouse is very nice with a lot of tools at the kitchen. Very confortable room
• Blake (10/5): Very enjoyable. - Everything was clean and comfortable. Room was large. It is a guesthouse so all guests share the bathroom. It is about six miles off the main route. Beautiful lake and view behind guesthouse. Very serene. Only thing I could r commend improving may be signs on bathroom doors to indicate if vacant or not.
• Amy (10/5): Great location in Northern Iceland near Blonduos! - The guesthouse was amazing and we loved staying there! We had been camping for days and it was such a treat! The view was perfect and we highly recommend staying here! The location is breathtaking looking over Lake Svínavatn!!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good for one night - I like the environment there, although it is off the main road. Overall good.
