We had a great fear from the shared showed & toilets and we were relieved to see the place was perfectly clean. The room we got (of 4 people) felt relatively large and the beds were very comfortable. The general feeling was of a pleasant place to stay Warmly recommended ##### SARIT Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Amit Jul 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice quiet area with several walking options. Room was OK. Well equipped kitchen. The polish girl at the reception was very helpful. Shared shower may be occupied for a long time when needed. ##### Amit Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### First time in Iceland One night stay to see the eastern side of country before heading to the North. Have to say that I was pleasantly surprised that experience was much better than expected. Thought there might be a concern with sharing one shower with all guests. We got there early and used it before others arrived. We both slept like babies. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PHILIP Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The guest house is set back from Rt. 1, and has the feeling of being somewhat isolated, but upon arrival there were many people onsite as the proprietors also run a campground for tenters and campervans. The campers have their own facilities so they did not mingle with guest house occupants. The outside of the guest house is quite unspectacular but the facilities inside were really nice. The room was spacious and clean. The dining room area was also quite spacious and the use of the kitchen and refrigerator was appreciated. The rest room facilities get high marks. Negatives? None. Would definitely stay here again! ##### PHILIP Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ron Jun 22, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Told the people that pay to take there shoes off! weird ##### Ron Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alysha Jun 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This guesthouse is just off the ring road up a short gravel path. The location once you get up there is absolutely stunning. Theres a small brook running by the guesthouse with a bubbling stream. Its all very beautiful and peaceful. It's a popular site for campers/camping vans but the guesthouse has its own protected facilities. Two kitchens to use meant plenty of space to make breakfast and dinner, and plenty of space to relax. Our room was warm, comfortable, and a good size. We were quite tired but there were good walking opportunities in the area. Host was lovely. Only one shower for the guesthouse (two toilets though) could have been problematic but the guesthouse wasn't busy when we stayed, so no issues with this. ##### Alysha Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Frank Sep 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Tolles Zimmer unter dem Dach.
