The property was clean, comfortable and well situated. If it wasn’t cloudy it would be perfect for viewing northern lights as it is well away from artificial lights. I also liked that breakfast was included! The staff were very friendly.

A really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new. The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland. The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.

The guesthouse is located between mountains and the sea in Iceland breathtaking southern coast. The couple running it are helpful and sweet and their homemade breakfast was delicious! There was no problem arriving later than 9 pm, just a quick phone call to let them know. The guesthouse is very spacious and clean, though the individual rooms are basic.
