    No instructions where to park if lot was full.

    Nice area to stop over night while driving the ring road. A couple great casual fish and chip places hit the spot after a long day. Room was spacious and clean. Beds very comfortable. Large bathroom. The cereal/milk/juice/coffee was a treat and not offered at most places we stayed. Large fridge in the kitchen where guests labeled small items with their name if they choose. Parking was full when we arrived so we parked across the street. Not sure if that was allowed but the car was still there in the morning..I thought this place was way too expensive when we booked, however now having almost completed the whole ring road, you get what you pay for.

    It is very nice guesthouse in the old pharmacy. It is very nice with welcoming owners. We had it booked only for two people, because bigger room wasn’t available. When we asked the owners, if it is possible to stay here in three and they have prepared for us one more bed, that was perfect. It was really clean with amazing well equipped kitchen.

    Our room doesn’t have good ventilation. After one night, there’s water condensation on window glasses.

    Clean, with private bath. Tasty breakfast treats with many choices of drinks. A balcony that one can walk out to see nice views in the distance and get fresh air. Staffs are super nice.

    Honestly, I can't think of anything! Our stay was really wonderful.

    This charming guesthouse is so comfortable and clean. It's got nice bathrooms, comfy beds and linens, and the eating area/kitchen is well equipped. The breakfast is great, with many options! It's perfectly situated in the tiny town of Höfn, with stellar glacier views close by. The staff is friendly and gave us a warm greeting. We've been here before and it was great to be back... we'll be back again!

    As an American traveler, I’m used to a certain level of comfort, and while I did have a private bathroom, other aspects like room size and overall amenities were more modest than what I’m used to. That said, this is typical for the region. If you expect luxury or lots of personal space, reset your expectations and embrace the experience. It’s part of the charm of traveling in this part of the world.

    The location was perfect, right in the heart of Höfn, with easy access to restaurants, the harbor, and local attractions. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the entire property was clean and well maintained.

    Include an appliance to push the water from the shower into the drain. The toilet area got all wet because the water didn't right away

    Breakfast was coffee, tea, milk, cereal and some yogurt. It was enough for a breakfast. We did not leave hungry. I really liked the biscuits.

    I went on Booking.com the day we were arriving (July 5) and found the same room for $176 CAD less than what I paid when I made my reservation in early February. I messaged the guesthouse to ask why and the response I received hours later was that it was a Booking.com error. Funny, I didn't have a problem on any other Booking.com reservations in Iceland.

    Our room was spotless and comfortable with a private bathroom. The room was not huge but we were not expecting it to be. The shared areas are very nice, there's board games and a small breakfast (yogurt, cereal, tea and coffee). The location is great and everything was very clean and tidy.

    Fire alarm went off in the middle of the night and owners had to be called to come to the property to shutoff. Maybe caused by a short power outage? Unfortunate, but I can report they have a really nice fire alarm system. They did knock on everyone’s door and checked on them. It wouldn’t stop me from staying there again as they were nice people .

    No surprises. Good value for the money. Cleaning comfortable room.

    Once we walked into the room, the bathroom had a moldy or wet towel/rag smell. Once we turned on the fan and had the patio door open, it was much better.

    Very clean kitchen, dining area, reception area, the room/bathroom. Convenient location to the stores and restaurants, and it was nice to have a small patio for us to get some fresh air while staying at the guesthouse.

    Good location. We had a small balcony with a view of the water. Walkable to restaurants and brewery. Offered yogurt, cereal, tea, coffee and juice for breakfast. Easy check-in late in the day. Responsive to email. We only stayed 1 night and didn't encounter any staff, we checked in late and checked out early.
