- right opposite to the supermarket. short walk to local restaurants and shops. - shared kitchen with everything you need for cooking, even for groups - complimentary tea and coffee; and light breakfast (cereals, muesli, milk and yoghurt) - private bathrooms in each room - sunny rooms - you do need to bring your own shampoo and body wash, which is fine - laundry is available if you are staying for more than 2 nights (Mar 2023) - relatively clean - great area to stay for 2 nights if possible. check in for proper rest after the long drive/site seeing from Vik; day trip/hiking/northern light seeking around Hofn; check out after a good night sleep before heading back to Vik or Reykjavík

    The guesthouse has everything you need for a pleasant stay. In particular, we enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly and helpful hosts. The guesthouse is located at the starting point of a hike that we enjoyed thoroughly.

    The guesthouse was absolutely spotless, and felt like a warm clean haven after a rainy day on the ring road. The breakfast was lovely, with homemade baked goods, homemade smoked salmon and fresh waffles. The host couldn’t have been more welcoming!

    Everything about this guesthouse is great! The owner was icelandic and very friendly. She even let our friend to use the showers for free and sleep in her camper van on the property! The guesthouse is well equipped (2 shared bathrooms/restrooms!) and the breakfast was yummy, with homemade products. The bedroom was roomy, with comfy beds. Everything was clean and functionnal. The location is pretty quiet and the view is nice over the fields. You can see the ocean in the distance.
