    The rooms were very stuffy. The window only opened a few milimeters and there was no fan or other ventilation.

    Clean. Well thought out design. Showers and WC were acceptable

    Midgies were a bit annoying, but only on one night, but the host made sure we were aware and how to keep them out. Didn't detract from an enjoyable stay.

    Comfortable, good sized room, shared kitchen was great for cooking basic meals, quiet farm area, easy checkin.

    The room was a great size with a outdoor seating area and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves during our stay. It was just a short distance from Hofn and easy to reach from Route 1.

    Limited privacy: small house shared with three couples

    The three bedrooms are very close together and one can hear one another. In the kitchen one also has to be very quiet not to wake up or bother the guests in the other two bedrooms. Not ideal to be that close with people you do not know., a bit like in a hostel. When we came back the second day, other guests had dumped all their luggage on the kitchen table and blocked the way to our room with their stuff as well. They seemed to think that was normal but it was a weird, intrusive situation to us. There is no caretaker in the small house, the owner lives in another house, hence, the guests make the rules. There were also quite some dead insects in the bedroom on arrival and the bathroom curtain moulded. The small house that is shared is next to a chalet with another couple of guests and a messy yard of the owners/caretakers. Considering the nearly 220 euro per night, a slightly better quality and privacy was expected.

    Pics are no longer up to date, there is another chalet next to the small house. The small house was shared among three couples with a shared small kitchen. The house is relatively new.

    We had 2 of the 3 rooms reserved in the guesthouse. There was another couple staying in the third room. The kitchen area was smaller than I expected. It wasn't a big issue except on both mornings we were there, the other couple cooked a complete breakfast and lunch to take with them during the day. It would have been nicer to have more space but it worked out fine. The couple was very nice.

    The rooms and bathrooms were clean. The location is about 5 minutes out of Hofn but a nice location. We arrived late on our first night and the host was very pleasant in getting us the keys and checked in.

    Fridge was one but someone ate my food even after labeled. The bathroom was a mess after single use because there wasn't a shower curtain. This place is normally used by overnight guests. We stayed for 3 days. It was a little inside a sub lane but a huge property.

    It was a two rooms apartment. We were staying in one room with a shared kitchen n bathroom.

    there is no breakfast available. The site is under construction. I found some problems to take and to give back the keys for the room. It is not close to the HOFN center. No restaurant available on the hotel.

    there is a parking lot in front of the hotel. the kitchen and the common area were ok.

    Mosquitoes: I would highly suggest the host to install mosquito meshes into windows, to make it possible to ventilate the room without letting those small beasts to enter and bite you whole night.
