I loved how peaceful this property is. There is an old church and cemetery and the mountain rise up behind the lodging. There are a few good restaurants within 10 mins. The host made a yummy breakfast.

We booked this guesthouse through Hotels.com which indicates that you need to call in advance as there is no reception staff. We had a hard time getting our call through by using the phone number indicated on Hotels.com website. It took a long time and two attempts to get someone on the phone, and we were told that someone will be there at our arrival. We got to the guesthouse, but no one in sight. We tried again to call, but to no avail, and started panicking as we were far away from any location where we could have found other accommodations! We noticed two different phone numbers on the door. We called the first one, no answer! We called the 2nd one, and finally we got someone on the phone. So, the check-in nothing to be impressed with! The property: The exterior made us wonder if we had made the worst decision in terms of accommodations for our two-week trip to Iceland. The photos do not reflect the reality. The stairs badly need renovations. The building is old. The room: regular, shared bathroom. We didn’t appreciate the idea of tiding the shower/bathroom, as we think that THAT is the host’s “prerogative"! Kitchen can’t be used by guests, breakfast - nothing special, with few things available, small quantities, 30 minutes to help yourself while others are waiting in line behind you AND eat!!! The host stares at you all along, and makes you uncomfortable while you eat or pick up food as it's time to leave as per her rules! We didn't feel comfortable nor welcome!

Loved this place. The Host is super nice and welcoming, and the free breakfast was a huge plus. Very cozy and spacious. The sink in the room was a huge benefit too. It was a great stay.
