Only one shower upstairs. Really not a big deal. Just didn't want to wake up the people upstairs.

This is the oldest house in Rif. Cute inside. It used to be a café. Kitchen has lots of pots and pans and dishes for cooking in. Common area has large dining room and living room. There are 2 toilets. One on each floor

Stayed in September 2025

Room was extremely small. There was just enough floor space to fit our luggage and backpacks. Had to open one bag at a tine to take things out. Little space to hang wet things. Stuffy in room so slept with door ajar to let airflow. Kitchen equipment and utensils plus furnishings in common area was an eclectic mix. Stairs are steep to go upstairs especially with luggage.

Quiet neighborhood. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was spacious and shower had good water pressure. Located close to the national park and lighthouse.

Only one showed and two toilets between five rooms (ten guests). Make sure you have all the food required as no facilities in Rif - nearest store is in Olafsvik.

My second visit here. Lovely secluded location in historic building. Communal living room, light airy rooms, kitchen with fridge, hob, oven, coffee percolator and kettle (but no microwave). So peaceful at night and surrounded by the tern colony. Key box for entry so no worries about time of arrival.

The room has clearly been converted from single to double, as it just fits a double bed with maybe 20cm left until the wall (and the keyring still says single). So the room itself was quite crammed especially compared to the other rooms on the same floor. But, luckily we had few things and we fit there nicely.

A spacious house in Rif with clear self check in instructions sent and further information around the house. Sizeable lounge and dining area and kitchen with all essentials available, including 2 fridges. A bathroom and separate toilet, and the bed itself was lovely and comfortable. Even a chest of drawers there for storage, and lush towels provided. We were first ones in the house and I think only half the rooms were occupied so no issues with sharing facilities. Good WiFi that extended to most of the building.

The room was too small for two people. Opening only one suitcase left us with basically no empty floor space. The sea view was mostly a parking lot with a small sliver of sea showing in the corner. That being said, I got a peek in other rooms after other guests had left, and all the other rooms looked much better than ours.

Good value-for-money. The shared facilities were good.

Shared bathroom, only 1 pillow per person, black out shades didn’t cover the windows

Location, cleanliness, ease of check in

Stayed in July 2025

The common area is spacious, with a bathroom on both the upper and lower floors, but only the upstairs one has a shower. While eating in the dining room, you can look out the window directly onto the beach, which lifts your mood.

Nice and cosy place.

Stayed in June 2025

Only one shower and 2 toilets. The steps up to the shower are very narrow and need care when taking them.

Clean place that we had to ourselves (off-season). Easy check-in Decent kitchen and lots of seating (though I expect it gets crowded).

The floor of our room was a bit dirty and dusty. The doors of the shower didn’t close well, fortunately we didn’t wet the floor. In addition, there weren’t many places where to put towels, bathrobes and clothes since there was no wardrobe.

The guesthouse has a self-service check-in and out and it was very convenient. The room was small, like most rooms in Iceland, was heated and they provided us towels and sheets. We shared the bathroom with other guests but they were nice and we didn’t have any problem. The bathroom was quite big. We stayed there one night and overall it was a nice experience. From the window of our room we were able to see the northern lights!

I missed an espresso making machine

I had the possibility to make my own breakfast and every meal. With almost all the facilities: microwave, ovnen, waterboling, etc. Clean, warm, nice place inside and outside.

stairs were too steep to go up with luggage and kitchen was not very clean

room had real good comfortable beds with nice white bedding and a view of the sea.

Room we had (on main floor) was quite cramped- only space for 2 beds and a small set of drawers we could put 1 suitcase on. Rest of our things had to be on the floor and we had to carefully navigate the room. One shower and 2 toilets between 5 rooms could be problematic in some situations. We didn’t have a problem accessing the toilet on our floor and we chose to shower midday so didn’t have any competition. Nearest restaurants are 10 min away. this was clear on the website- not a surprise- but would have been nice to have something in town.

Check in process went smoothly, bed was comfortable. Location was convenient for national park and hostel was located in a very small peaceful town. Our room had partial view of the coast. We didn’t have any issues with noise. We didn’t have any issues with availability of bathrooms.

Steep stairs could be a challenge for upstairs rooms. Only #1 is on ground floor.

Location was good, bed was comfortable. It was warm. Close to restaurants in Ólafsvík.

Only one shower for all guests.

The place could have been cleaner and one kitchen and one shower is insufficient when the house is full. We had to wait quite a long time for our turn to cook

Great location and great view from room n 5. This room was quite spacious. The house seems well maintained. The village is charming.
