Guest Reviews

• Erin (8/5): - Absolutely loved the old house tuned into a guesthouse. The selection for breakfast was also fantastic
• Alexandria (10/5): - Nice location, pleasant stay, parking right at guesthouse.
• Karen (10/5): - What a special and unique guesthouse.
• James (10/5): - Great place to stay would stay again. Super cute great vibe. People staying there were very generous.
• Sonja (8/5): - Super urig, altes Haus aber mit Flair. Kühlschrank voll für leckeres Frühstück. Treppe ins OG sehr schmal aber ist so beschrieben.
• Alfred (10/5): - Charming, beautiful, special
• Fam. (8/5): - Mooi oud (krakend) houten huis 5 km van stadje. Schoon en inclusief prima self service ontbijt. Keukeninrichting van de rommelmarkt, maar compleet.
• Gemma (10/5): - Es una casa del antiguo postman del pueblo. Es una casa de madera que parece de cuento y es muy cozy y acogedora. La mejor estancia que hemos tenudo en Islandia
• Verified traveler (10/5): Sweet AirB&B, not a hotel - Restored farmhouse on the outskirts of town. Beautiful area. House has four or five rooms and ample parking for all guests. A lot of the breakfast items had been finished (things like a tablespoon of skyr left in the tub) but overall the breakfast items provided were decent. The house is lovely and the rooms are really nice. But it isn't (as I was led to believe on hotels.com) a hotel. It's more like an air B&B
• Ruth (8/5): Homely, but some niggles. - This is a very homely set-up with a friendly host, Anna. The sitting room is comfortable and the rooms welcoming. Just a few quibbles grated during the stay - why no real milk? There were vegan and lactose free options, but not proper milk. I bought my own, but really shouldn't have to do this. Also - why no butter? Butter is an absolute staple for breakfast, so having so little that it ran out for most of us at breakfast was not great. Then, be aware you will have to be mobile to get up those stairs, which are more like a stepladder. I had a broken toe so had to be very careful of placing feet - however I loved it because of the character it gave so this is not a complaint, however, it's important to be aware of this in case you have some mobility issues. The rooms are quite small, with no room for luggage unless at single occupancy - so be prepared - but I loved the homely feel and decor. Finally, while having a shared bathroom worked better than expected, at full capacity the second floor is 7 people, so 1 bathroom is optimistic - luckily, during my stay we were not at full capacity. All in all I would definitely recommend, but not perfect.
• Franziska (10/5): - we loved it!!
• GUO (10/5): - Great host. And nice cozy home for your holiday.
• Ulrich (6/5): - Okay
• Jue (6/5): - Old house, very very noisy if anyone in the house moves around, you will hear that. We had another family who woke everyone up at 2am in the morning.
• Gina (10/5): - It was lovely to see the the details about the history of the house (there was a plaque about it on one of the walls). The room was spacious, and the complimentary breakfast was nice; it included some local foods that we enjoyed trying. The instructions provided were all in English throughout the house, which made it very easy to navigate. There were some guidebooks provided and as well as a puzzle in the living room, and chairs and table on the deck where we are dinner one night (a wonderful view; other nights we ate indoors). The host was also easy to get ahold of and friendly. I would absolutely stay here again!
• Kyle (8/5): - Shower was backed-up. Maintaining the style of the original house was an interesting touch and made for a unique experience.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The house was very quaint. It is old, so it makes a lot of old house noises, and you can hear everyone else in the house talking and moving around. Other guests did not respect the “quiet hours” so it was difficult to sleep. The bed was older as well. Breakfast is make what you can find in the fridge and from what is on the counters.
• Ardith (6/5): - Very welcoming, with food available in the fridge and comfortable common living space. Noisy at night, could hear person in the room above us snoring.
• jean (8/5): - I like the old house. It’s been restored with live and attention to detail
• Michele (10/5): - This is a former Postmans Station House near Borgarnes. Lovingly renovated according to plans and photos. I was the only one there and I loved everything about it! The breakfast was self-serve and abundant. There is a Bonus and Netto in town if you want to make your own dinner. Be aware there is no microwave. My room included an enSuite, a table and chairs, and multiple beds (I only used the single twin). I spend three nights, which was enough to go to explore the area and take a few hikes. Loved staying here!
• Natasha (10/5): - Unique and memorable stay in the old postman’s house. Each room had its own charm, and the host (who was super lovely during our check in) was nice enough to upgrade us to a room with a private bathroom. It’s only a short drive from the west peninsula and Borgarnes, and would highly recommend for anyone driving through the area.
• Andreas (10/5): - Uns hat die Unterkunft sehr gefallen, irgendwo im Nirgendwo, mitten in der Natur.Wenn man das alte Album anschaut, sieht man, mit wieviel Herzblut renoviert und eingerichtet wurde, der Flair des alten Hauses wurde erhalten mit super Betten. Natürlich knarrt da mal die Diele und die Türen schließen lauter, aber das weiß man bei der Buchung. Die Gastgeberin Anna hat an alles gedacht, wer sich hier nicht wohl fühlt ist selber schuld. Der Kühlschrank war reichlich gefüllt, alles zur Nutzung für das Selfmade Frühstück, wir konnten uns sogar Rührei machen.. Liebe Anna, nochmals vielen Dank für den wundervollen Aufenthalt und weiterhin viele Gäste, die den Charme dieser besonderen Unterkunft verstehen.
• Eustachio (10/5): - Struttura molto bella
• Katie (10/5): Cute quick stop - Checkin was quick. Access to shared kitchen was nice room was small but cozy. Bed very comfortable. Perfect for our one night stop over. Nice to have two shared bathrooms with showers.
• Rebecca (8/5): - Incredibly cute house and very nice property. Nice to have access to kitchen and dining area. It is however an incredibly old house, which means you can hear everything - made us very aware of any noise we made - talking, walking, etc. Very glad we stayed here as was a very unique property, just something to keep in mind as felt very aware of any sounds we made.
• Jimmy (10/5): - The place was amazing and only a short drive to Borgarnes. Anna was an amazing host. She even helped us to see the Aurora! ❤️🥰
• brenda (10/5): Super well preserved 1895 house - We loved this place. We were able to see the northern lights from our bed through the window. Everything is so well preserved and curated. Breakfast is better than the picture because you can also take things from the fridge like eggs, yogurt, cheeses, juices, etc. Keep in mind that it's a self service house so you won't have anyone to immediately support in case anything pops up but the owner will share her number once you book.
• Toulon (10/5): - Beautiful, quiet space. There were a plethora of breakfast options. An excellent space to see the Northern lights. Anna was very thoughtful with the icelandic sweaters (soooo warm!!) And slippers. Fantastic stay
• JUI LING (10/5): - 房子內部為木製2層樓，走路難免會有聲響。入住時會將鑰匙掛在牆上，找尋對應的房間名字。房間很幸運被安排在1樓，不用拖著的行李上下樓真是太好了。早餐提供自助式吐司果醬蛋起司火腿果汁，很簡單卻也很豐盛，自己用完再將盤子杯子清洗乾淨放回。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We chose this location for access to Snæfellsbær Peninsula and price. An old farmhouse converted so the rooms are small and the floors creak with age. The house has great character. Kitchen is well equipped with basics and the breakfast provided (help and make yourself) was varied and plentiful. Beds were comfortable. Great for a short stay. We stayed two nights.
• Manuela (10/5): Liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft - Sehr sehr gut! Niedliche Zimmer. Bad klein und sauber. Das Frühstück ist Self Service und man kann sich bedienen. Gut durchdacht ist auch, dass man die Schuhe am Eingang auszieht und bei Bedarf Hausschuhe leihen kann. Die Lage des Hauses ist recht einsam, aber perfekt für Ausflüge auf die Halbinsel Snæfellsnes und zum Glymur. Danke, Anna. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
• Susan (10/5): - This 1898 home has been remodeled to incorporate sinks in each room. Outstanding food available for self serve. Period furniture except for the great beds! Would happily stay again!
• Henning Sandberg (10/5): - Hyggeligt gæstehus.. God atmosfære.
• John (10/5): Home away from home - The place was amazing. I have stayed in some old homes but this is now #1. The place exuded its charm from first entry right through the exploration of it's space. You didn't have to read "Welcome". the place spoke it everywhere you looked. The kitchen was stocked, the common space spoke.. come sit.. and there was a peacefulness that wrapped you when you explored outside. We were lucky to meet some great fellow travelers that stayed there as well. Don't pass it up!
• Caroline (10/5): - Rustige omgeving. Je wordt verrast als je binnenstapt in de woning. Wat een gezelligheid! De eigenaresse Anna is niet aanwezig, maar toch is er een warm onthaal. De koelkast staat vol voor een goed ontbijt! En we hebben er heerlijk geslapen.
• NAOKI (10/5): - 素晴らしい自然環境 手作りの個性的な宿
• Daniela (10/5): - -
• VALERIE (8/5): Super séjour, gâché par le manque de savoir vivre - La maison est super Tout est à dispo comme chez soi, mais avec la cuisine commune lorsque que nous avons pris le petit déjeuner il ne restait presque rien … merci les autres convives , Français bien sûr !
• Robert (6/5): - 5 stars would have been my score before dusk. That’s when the no-see-ums attacked. We had to seal ourselves into our room and spent hours killing them and losing blood. Did I mentioned that a closed up room is too hot to sleep in? Sorry Western Iceland that you now have an invasive species of blood sucking insect, but please get some screens for your windows.
• Mark (10/5): - Really liked this guest house. Of the many I stayed in while traveling Iceland, this house had the most character. It's located up a side road, so it feels very quiet, but the interesting town of Borgarnes is quite accessible. Well equipped kitchen and good simple breakfast supplies. I didn't meet any staff, but communication was fine online. A great find overall.
• David (10/5): Avoid high priced hotels in Reykjavik - Very nice accommodations in a cute historic house. The host leaves a full refrigerator and countertop full of breakfast food that you can make. Bargain priced for Iceland. It suited our family of 3 quite nicely. Like all hostel type accommodations, some of the baths are shared and having earplugs is a good idea. For Iceland you should also have an eye blackout mask.
• Regula (6/5): - Steile, enge Treppe, nichts für ältere Leute
• Lori (10/5): - A beautiful Icelandic experience in a very authentic building! Clean and warm, loved the ambiance.
• Camilla (10/5): - Una casa d’epoca a pochi km da Borgarnes. Atmosfera fuori dal tempo, camera curata. Molto belli gli spazi comuni. In cucina si trova tutto il necessario per prepararsi la colazione.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Une maison perdue au milieu des champs - La maison des voyageurs, une bonne literie, un plancher qui grince, le frigo plein, et possibilité de se faire à manger. Nous avons apprécié, en ce début mai, nous n'étions que 2 familles à y loger. Ce doit être plus bruyant en pleine saison.
• Johanna (10/5): A place to rest - This was the perfect place for us to stay. We needed a room for a night after a long day's travel, and this was a quiet place with comfortable beds. I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow, and woke up refreshed after the sleep. There would have been self service breakfast, but we needed to get going early, so we didn't check it out.
• Mildred V (10/5): Idyllic Storybook House - This was idyllic! It was like something out of a storybook. Warm Icelandic sweaters to wear welcomed us along with slippers. There was lots of good food provided too. The house is historical, charming and like stepping back in time. My son and I absolutely loved it!
• Karin (10/5): - Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Unser Zimmer mit Bad war geräumig, die Betten sehr bequem und die Dusche ausgezeichnet. Die Gemeinschaftsküche ist hervorragend ausgestattet und man kann sich außerdem an den vorhandenen Lebensmitteln bedienen. Die Lage ist perfekt, nicht weit von der Straße entfernt aber dennoch ruhig gelegen inmitten der Natur. Wir haben hier eine Nacht verbracht und würden jederzeit wieder hier buchen.
• Jussi (10/5): - Todella hienosti kunnostettu vanha puutalo. Todella helppo toimia, avain ja hyvät ohjeet odottivat talolla, kun tulimme. Aamiaistarpeita on runsaasti, aamiainen tehdään itse. Vanhassa talossa äänet kuuluu muista huoneista helposti muualle, mutta keittiössä oli saatavilla korvatulppia. Todella iso suositus tälle guesthouselle, jos osaa arvostaa historiallisia vanhoja taloja ja tyylikästä ajan patinaa.
• Damien (10/5): Une belle maison vintage - Belle maison vintage au sol en bois qui craque. Nous avons eu une belle chambre au rez-de-chaussée avec une salle de bain privative. Tout était propre. Quant au petit déjeuner, il s’agit d’un buffet avec céréales et pain en libre service. Vous trouverez également des choses en plus dans le frigo.
• Evelyn (10/5): - Wie eine österreichische Almhütte, nur noch etwas schicker eingerichtet. Total hübsch, gemütlich und liebevoll. Alles TOP!
• Luis (10/5): - Silent and nice place to rest.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Alojamiento estupendo - Casa de finales del siglo XIX rehabilitada y con todos los detalles. En una zona muy tranquila. La cocina es compartida y el desayuno está incluido: todo está pensado para que te sientas cómodo (ropa de abrigo: zapatillas de estar por casa y jersey de cortesía). Un alojamiento perfecto y diferente.
• Jolanda (10/5): - A really cosy old wooden house very charmingly decorated.
• Sandra (6/5): - Read this before booking: this property isn’t for everyone. It’s an antique house which you may find interesting or you may dislike. The floor outside our bedroom wasn’t solid although I didn’t look under the rug covering it. Our bedroom was small. If you have mobility issues, request a room downstairs. Even young couple had trouble getting their luggage up the steep stairs. Look at the pictures of the outside of the house before trying to find it. There’s a sign for it by the main highway but no signs by the driveway or on the house itself. The house is unlocked and you walk in to find a note for you. It was unnerving for us just to walk in a house where we weren’t sure we were in the right location. On the positive side, there’s a common kitchen and sitting room. The owner leaves food and you are welcome to make your own breakfast. Make sure to mark your food with your room name. We didn’t understand and our dessert became common food. Obviously from reviews, we are in the minority, but it wasn’t for us.
• Doris (8/5): - Interesting old post house
• Richard (10/5): - Good stay.
• Jutta (10/5): - Wir haben uns in diesem wunderschönen Guesthouse sehr wohl gefühlt. Es strahlt eine Gemütlichkeit und Wärme aus. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich nur wünschen kann. Die Betten sind sehr bequem und wir haben trotz Sturm und Regen, der recht laut zu hören war, hervorragend geschlafen. Der telefonische Kontakt mit Anna, der Gastgeberin, war sehr herzlich und entgegenkommend. Vielen herzlichen Dank.
• Hanna (8/5): - .
• Nicola (10/5): - Lovely old house full of character. Feels like you are way out in the country, but close to Borgarnes. Nice touches, like Lopi sweaters to wear if you are cold. Definitely recommend.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Adorable guest house; we had a lower room with full bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked & clean; the living room was cozy. There are no shoes in the house, & they had slippers to borrow, as well as warm Icelandic sweaters to borrow.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Self check in und self served Frühstück mit super Auswahl. Zimmer und Bad geräumig und sauber
• CORINNE (10/5): Coup de coeur - Coup de coeur pour cette petite maison cosy. Nous avons adoré y séjourner.
• Eric (10/5): Excellent place - Excellent place. Calm and quiet. The place looks beautiful. The breakfast is excellent. The owner fills up the fridge and you make what you want. My best stay in Iceland. Would have loved to be there longer.
