Guest Reviews

• Jeffrey (10/5): - Great communication. Convenient to geothermal lake.
• Shane (8/5): Bedding needs improvement - Good location for us but very basic accomodation for the price . We found the mattress too firm and the pillows are awful / I’d rather sleep on a rolled up jumper ! Nice facilities and easy to access
• Harish (8/5): Very convenient location, quiet, good value - Good value (for Iceland anyway!) accommodation in a great central location for all the major sites - Golden Circle, Black sandy beach at Vik and West Iceland. Convenient enough for airport too.
• Bo (10/5): - Clean
• Sandra (8/5): Nice Room - The owner was very accommodating and even came and dropped off more pillows for us. The room was modern, comfortable and clean.
• Ian (10/5): - Super clean and convenient and close to everything. A few good restaurants in walking distance.
• Erica (10/5): - Great saty
• Elaine (10/5): - Owner was very communicative and friendly, on site when we arrived and offered to help with our bags. This was my kids favorite place to stay!
• Lucas (10/5): - Easy check in, quiet, and clean. Wonderful.

• Chris (10/5): - Great location. Easy to use facility. Clean. A wonderful experience.
• Venkata (10/5): - Fantastic Stay at Björk Guesthouse! I had an incredible experience at Björk Guesthouse during my trip to Iceland. The guesthouse itself is cozy, comfortable, and very well-maintained, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend Björk Guesthouse to anyone looking for a relaxing and authentic Icelandic experience. I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next visit!

• Gissela (10/5): - Great property, big bathroom
• Liliana (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Bjork Guesthouse from April 11 to 12. The communication with one of the owners, Alexander, was fantastic. He was responsive and answered all of my questions promptly, providing valuable guidance on where to go and look for the northern lights. The room we stayed in was very spacious, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. Additionally, the location was convenient for our next stop, making our travel plans seamless. Overall, I highly recommend Bjork Guesthouse for anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable stay in South Iceland. Thank you, Alexander, for your hospitality I would definitely recommend your guesthouse to anyone.
• Maitry (10/5): - The property location is perfect
• Beth (8/5): - The room was basic, conveniently located, and a good value. It had everything we needed for a one night stay, including a nice hot shower. The owners were very accommodating and helpful when I contacted them. We walked to a nearby restaurant for a very nice dinner. It was warm and cozy room on a cold night.
• Emily (10/5): - The check-in and check-out was easy and quick. Felt very safe and comfortable.
• Fabian (10/5): - Very easy and efficient check in. Very clean room and bathrooms. Nice self service bar
• Martin (8/5): - Das Hotel erweist sich als besonders außergewöhnlich. Die Zimmer sind sauber, das Bett ist groß genug und reicht für zwei Personen. Weiter gibt es eine große Dusche, wo es sofort warmes Wasser gibt. Das Wasser ist mit reichlich Mineralstoffen vorhanden. Die Heizung wird schnell warm (im Badezimmer ist auch eine vorhanden) Es gibt einen Jackenständer und zwei Fenster mit Gardinen. Um ins Hotel zu gelangen, gibt es vorab per Mail einen Code; der gilt für den Haupteingang und fürs individuelle Zimmer. Das W-LAN ist hervorragend. Ferner noch gibt es genügend da Parkplätze - alle umsonst. Falls Sie Essen gehen wollen, ein Restaurant ist in unmittelbarer Nähe - fünf Minuten zu Fuß. Wenn sie individuell reisen, dann gibt es in der Nähe Sehenswürdigkeiten wie: THINGVELLIR NATIONAL PARK, Wasserfall Öxarárfoss, Bruarfoss, Strokkur. Wegen Strokkur-Geysir: Wenn Sie im Ort angekommen sind, gibt es rechts ein Service-Center mit Touristen-Infos und vielen Touristen - hier gilt beim Parken: Zahlen. 1000 Isländische Kronen für einen Tag. Ihr könnt per Smartphone problemlos zahlen. Ihr müsst nur euer Autokennzeichen angeben, den Namen und Kreditkarte parat haben.
• Maxime (10/5): Stay Bjork Guesthouse - Comfortable room. Amazing location next to thermal pools. Owners are very nice and accomodating.
• Demi (10/5): - Hosts were absolutely wonderful with us, great place to stop over when doing the golden circle.
• Joe (10/5): - Warm clean and great
• Tish (10/5): - Clean and quiet. Family guest room was large. Walking distance to hot springs
• Leon (10/5): - Wunderbare Untekrunft, in der wir liebend gerne länger als eine Übernachtung geblieben wären. Der Check-In war sehr unkompliziert durch eine vorher erhaltene e-Mail. Alles - von Schlafzimmer bis hin zur Dusche war wirklich hübsch eingerichtet, sodass wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Wir hatten das größere Familienzimmer gebucht, welches wirklich genügend Platz für uns vier Personen bot. Sowohl im Gang der Unterkunft als auch per WhatsApp haben wir von den super hilfreichen und zuvorkommenden Gastgebern viele Tipps erhalten. Große Empfehlung unsererseits~
• Maggie (8/5): - Belle chambre et grande salle de bain spacieuse. Nous avions reçu toutes les infos pour le check-in avant notre arrivée et tout s’est bien déroulé. Nous avions même un petit cadeau de bienvenue. Par contre, je suggérerais une façon pour montrer que nous avons check-out (exemple un carton à mettre à la porte) car à 9:30 on a cogné savoir si nous étions encore là et à 10:15 une employée est rentrée dans la chambre sans cogner….une chance que j’étais habillée…
• Frank (10/5): - The brothers who own the property are so nice! They touched base with us beforehand to tell us our room was ready early. The shower was hot and had perfect water pressure. Room was beautiful and clean with a very comfy bed. The lil’ treat they left for us was a nice touch as well! Will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Laugarvatn.
• Susanne (10/5): - .
• Sarah (10/5): - This was our favorite guesthouse we stayed at while in Iceland. Although there are no cooking facilities so if that’s important for you, you will need to consider. We appreciated having our own bathroom for one night. The room was clean and had everything we needed.
• Mika (10/5): - Great place.
• FEDERICO (6/5): - Banheiro amplo e reformado. O quarto estava um pouco frio e o aquecedor não funcionava ou estava desligado, não esquentava mesmo ligando-o. Escutavamos todas as pessoas que entravam na propriedade. Limpeza superficial, mas faltava limpeza detalhada. Roupa de cama de baixa qualidade (cheia de bolinhas). Faz falta cozinha comunitária e/ou refeitório para uso dos hospedes. Ha um pequeno supermercado a uns 50m, o que é muito pratico.
• Shruti (10/5): - Everything was so good! I couldn’t believe we found such great place at this price point! Love the story of the property too😁
• gregory (10/5): - Great place to hang for a gew hrs!
• Bee (10/5): - Staff is very helpful.
• olivia (10/5): - Clean, comfy pillows and beds updated bathroom . Great stay
• Ryan (10/5): - Very clean. Self check in. Wish we had some more research but looked like some very nice dining and places to visit right there. Would definitely recommend staying here.
• Tim (6/5): - Owner was easily communicated with. Very small shower. Did not see any staff during stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a lovely stay at the Bjork Guesthouse. Check in was easy and the room was great. Would recommend this place to stay at.
• Eleonora (2/5): Mold - Despite the property's renovations, there is a pervasive odor of mold that could potentially pose a health risk to guests, suggesting that the mold may be embedded within the building's structure. To mitigate this, we slept with the windows open, and fortunately, our stay was only for one night.
• Patricia (8/5): - Good value for the money
• Michelle (10/5): - A great little property with clear, easy instructions for access. Perfect for a golden circle tour. Maybe just a little dated in parts but absolutely no issue for us during our stay.
• Lindsey (10/5): - Convenient, quiet, and a great stay.
• Maria (10/5): - After driving from the airport, it was lovely to come into a warm, clean room. Lovely walks around, with the thermal baths nearby.
• Donald (10/5): - Great location in the middle of the golden circle. Grocery/spa/restaurants are within walking distance.
• Jessica (10/5): - Overall we had a great stay at Bjork Guesthouse and would come back again next time we visit the golden circle. We had some issues with the self-check in process and access to the guesthouse and our room, but the owners were prompt in helping us get in and ensure we could keep getting inside. We had a very comfortable bed with a modern private bathroom.
• Tanya (8/5): - Lovely, clean guesthouse with spacious room & private bath, great location on the Golden Circle, close to Bruarfoss, Pingvellir, hotsprings, and dining.
• Alessandra (10/5): - Comfortable and clean
• Yunbei (10/5): - I really enjoyed my stay. very clean and comfortable. Great location
• Tracy (10/5): - A lovely place to stay.
• Cynthia (10/5): - This property was newly renovated and was very clean and modern. It was a large room with a large bathroom. It had everything you needed to make coffee and had good wifi. The host also greeted me with an excellent chocolate bar that I made last for days. The host was extremely helpful and offered many good suggestions. I highly recommend this place!!!
• Gang (8/5): - It is next to a historical place.
• Julie (8/5): Great stop - The main door the the building requires the code to close it. Many other guests did not figure this out and decided to slam the door closed. The resulting noise was heard in our room. Otherwise the guesthouse is great! I loved the comfy bed and large, clean bathroom.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Our stay was amazing! The owners were able to recommend some awesome local places to visit. We had a lovely time
• Linda (10/5): - Loved this place. Everything is Clean, modern and updated. Quiet area and Guesthouse. Great communication with hosts. Easy self-check in. They left us coffee, tea, chocolate-yum! Great spot along the Golden Circle. Would stay here again. Thanks!
• Micah (10/5): - Great place to stay! clean, good amenities, and easy parking. Walls are a little thin, so ear plugs to sleep might be a good idea. One of the best guesthouses for the price.
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Proximity to the geothermal spa (great cafe with good vegetarian options) and the hostel (nice cafe staff and good vegetarian options) was the draw to this guest house which was convenient to the Golden Circle sites we wanted to visit. We also lucked out and got a clear night to see the aurora borealis.
• Rajeshwari (10/5): Great stay - One night stay while travelling through the Golden Circle. Located on the main road. Modern clean room (room 3) with large bathroom. Only downside was there was no TV. Would stay again.
• Randall (10/5): - Great spot and location
• Mingliang (10/5): - all good
• Pamela (6/5): - Room was fine. The guesthouse had no sign. It was pouring rain when we arrived and we had to enter the key code with a torrent of rain falling over the front door.
• Eric (10/5): - Great stay, very clean and good place for relaxing after a long day of exploring
• Nabil (6/5): - Easy in easy out. Simple room, very basic
• Michelle (8/5): - Easy place to stay the night. Had all the basic necessities.
• Betsy (10/5): - great room, nice to have private bathroom at this price, shower was a small, floor was not so clean (and not from us as our shoes were left at the front door as asked). Was expecting a kitchen area to cook a meal, and there was none. Room was great, had a fridge, a kettle, lots of space - easy to check in - well done on that front.
• Elaine (10/5): - The room was well equipped as well as roomy and clean
• Timothy (8/5): - Was fine. Served our purpose with no concerns.
• Nancy (10/5): - It was a very nice price and great value
• Ramprasad (4/5): - Stayed here for 2 days - This is not a GuestHouse. This is a Hostel Room or Dorm Room. There is no person on staff at the property. There is no sign outside identifying the property. It is a little bigger than an oversized trailer that has been converted to have 7-8 dorm rooms in it. The room was not clean, and was not cleaned after we messaged the Property owner and got confirmation that it would be done. The sink and shower don't drain - possibly clogged. Also, stayed at Bergás Guesthouse in Keflavik. That was a very good experience. For comparison, sakes.
• Catherine (8/5): No kitchenette, but good location - Appears newly renovated. It was in a good location on the golden circle and within a couple of minute drive from Laugarvatn Fontana. Check-in is contactless using a keypad on the door. Rooms were good size. However, there was no microwave in the building or any kitchen/kitchenette to prepare or reheat food. In addition, the drainage from the shower in our room was very poor. At the time of our booking, you got a 10% discount at Laugarvatn Fontana for staying at this place. Overall felt that price was reasonable for accommodation.
• Jillian (10/5): Nice place within walking distance to Fontana Bath - The guesthouse was very clean. The bedding and linens were nice and having the fridge, water kettle and a blow dryer was very helpful.
• Stephanie (10/5): Wonderful stay when we needed one last minute. - This was a great stay and very easy and convenient to book. We were camping the ring road and surrounding areas during the shoulder season, and when we discovered the campsite we had chosen was closed, we quickly found the Björk Guesthouse. It was easy to book and instructions were quick and thorough on how to get into the building and our room. Our only complaints, and they are small, were that the building was hard to find (I think it is a fairly new listing though at the time of writing this, so that should be remedied shortly), and the numbers on the door handle that you need to punch to get into your room are rather small and hard to see. Again, small thing and probably not something that is easily changed or controlled since they didn’t manufacture the door handles. It was just hard to see when coming into the hallway later in the night. We didn’t want to wake anyone up.
• James (10/5): - Very close to activities.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely for short stay. Very convenient to Fontana bath-house and local restaurant. Staff very responsive.
• Amy Sue (10/5): - This was a nice property. The room was clean and I loved the way it was decorated and the private bathroom was nice as well. The only thing missing was a tv. On the bright side we did go out and enjoy a nice walk through the town.
• Brenda (8/5): Basic no frills place - The room was nice and had what we needed. There is no one onsite at the building so don't expect any touring help. The night we stayed, there was only us and another couple in the building but they put us right next to each other and you can hear people talking (in normal volume) through the wall. It was very impersonal.
• newton (4/5): review of the hotel - We got a very good room ,the only thing that was not nice is that we did not get any message from the hotel about how to enter the hotel and it took some time to figure how to contact,as we should get e mail or message by sms and nothing arrived to us.For our luck ,someone came the same time and the front door was open so we could enter the building and call representative.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean. Pleasantly updated. Worth visiting again or recommending to friends.
• Gareth (10/5): Great Stay with infant - Great room, we were given a free upgrade to a much bigger room which suited our needs perfectly. An infant cot was provided.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Get stay. Good staff communication. Room was very clean and we had everything we need available to us. Thank you for a great stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Most comfy beds ever. Very quiet and also very affordable
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Room was neat and tidy but there was no service to speak of. We only communicated by text message and those were quick. Nice bathroom with great shower.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - It was a nice property but the room was small with one side of the bed against a wall. There few plugs and the coffee pot did not reach the one it was supposed to. There were no plugs in the bathroom.
• Margaret (8/5): All you Need, but beware of outside bugs - Basic room, but had all you need. Easy to get in based on emailed instructions. Only downside was there was no airflow in the room & lots of bugs outside.
• Tey (10/5): - excellent ！nice places and clean room.the instructions was clear. everything was good！
• Yi Xuan (8/5): - The room is the same as described. Quiet location and the service was great. The room is not big but quite clean. And it's always good to have private bathroom which this Guesthouse does facilitate this. Considerate the price, I think this is a good place to have a rest, clean shower and then continue your journey in iceland for the next day.
• JAY (6/5): - Property was good. Location was great.but there was no service provided
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice restaurants near by. Very close to the golden circle. Exceptionally clean. Easy check in. A little hard to find.
• C (10/5): - Great property. Easy self check in. Clean facility, bigger than expected. We went to The geothermal spa down the street - and even got a discount showing them the hotel confirmation. Only downside is that the walls are thin so could hear neighbors. But wasn’t terrible
• Leila (10/5): - This place was clean and comfortable. The door codes made self-check-in easy. It’s well located.
