No washing machine, but Eva offered to wash for us, this is no a problem then.

This is one of the best guesthouses in my trip to Iceland and Norway. The house owner Eva is an artist, she has very gods feeling of how to make house comfortable. The house is decorated with some of her collection and her paintings. The house surrounding is very nice, like a beautiful farm, her and chickens running on green grassland. Flowers are blooming on the way to the house. We really love everything here. We enjoyed so much there. Eva is very helpful as well, she helps me fixed my hat. If we come back again, we will definitely book her guesthouse and I would also recommend her house to my friends.

Nothing, everything was great!

A converted old farmhouse, clean and comfy. We came inside to a great cake baked by our host. We all enjoyed an evening conversation and breakfast was incredible in the morning. You can see Dyrholaey lighthouse on the top of the mountain.

The owner is lovely and makes a fantastic breakfast for everyone. They also made up the room while we were out. Like actual bnb's used to/should be!

Beautiful guesthouse in a lovely area close to Vik. We had a wonderful stay and a delicious breakfast each morning. My daughters were invited to feed the chickens and loved playing outside with the adorable and friendly dog. We fully and highly recommend Guesthouse Gardakot!

I wish we could have stayed for a week at least. Unfortunately we only had one night. It was amazing to stay here, though.

We were completely blown away with how easy and comfortable the house was to enter and stay in. We finally saw the northern lights for the first time right outside. Breakfast was amazing and our host was terrific. Coal the dog was exactly what we needed since we have missed our dog for a week. 10☆ review

the doors are a bit loud when you open or shut them due to the older style of locks. (skeleton key)

This is a charming guesthouse. Beautiful details in every room. The host was so nice and presented a beautiful breakfast spread and included traditional icelandic foods.

We were greeted by a super friendly pup in the driveway. The house was super cute, clean, and the food was great! The setup was perfect, with both good privacy and common areas. Wish we had stayed longer!

we had 2 amazing days at the beautiful guesthouse. Although we were only there for the sleep, we felt heartly welcoming. The house is very clean and you have your own privacy, with your own bathroom. The breakfast was overwhelming and more than delicious. homemade bread, homemade jams, homemade cake and fresh salmon. Everything tasted good and gave us enough power for the day. I really recommend this guesthouse and I am sure you will love it!

There is absolutely NOTHING we disliked about the guesthouse—every aspect exceeded our expectations. From the warm hospitality to the charming decor and delightful amenities, our experience was flawless.

Exceptional stay! Truly a home away from home—we could have stayed indefinitely, experiencing two nights of pure magic. On our first night, the aurora borealis treated us to an awe-inspiring spectacle, a breathtaking dance of pink and green exploding in the sky, visible to the naked eye. Breakfast, lovingly prepared by Eva (our favorite Icelander!), was an unforgettable feast. From freshly baked homemade bread to mouthwatering pancakes, smoked lamb, an array of jams, fresh juices, cheeses, coffee, skyr, and more—the spread was perfect! Connie, Eva's Icelandic sheepdog, greeted us at the door every morning, making us feel like he was our own dog. Warm, playful, and a wonderful guide around the property. Our room's private bathroom was impeccable, complete with shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The warm and cold water for the shower, along with the delicious tap water, added to the comforts. Dyrholaey lighthouse and Vik were conveniently close. Eva's daily cake offerings were a delightful surprise, consistently delicious on both days. Tea and coffee were always available, rounding out the overall fantastic experience. Best of all, the accommodation is easy to find. Eva went above and beyond by volunteering to wash our clothes when we needed a washing machine, which the property didn't have. She graciously used her personal washing machine at her house, showcasing her exceptional hospitality. Additionally, the decors and the overall house exuded warmth and were well-designed, adorned with trinkets, interesting paintings, and pictures. Games for guests to use and well-maintained common areas added to the charm. We even had the pleasure of chatting with other guests on the second morning. We loved every aspect of our stay and highly recommend it!

I think it is impossible to find anything bad about this place.

Everything is amazing! From the room, to the shared spaces, to the outside. Simply stunning. The owner is super friendly, kind and very attentive. She made the most amazing breakfast with lots of homemade products or fresh from the farm. Amazing location as well, super comfy beds, fantastic shower and I can keep going. The price is really competitive for the area, I think, especially for the service you get. 10/10 worth it! Thank you!!! I’ll keep saved this place for future trips! P.s. super friendly and fluffy dog always waiting to greet new guests!

The cottage was beautiful, cozy and was beyond our expectations! The morning breakfast was delicious, everything was home made and well presented. This cozy farm cottage was by far the best place we stayed throughout our trip.

Nothing to say, it was perfect!

We absolutely loved our stay at Grand Guesthouse Gardakot. - it does not get better than this! The working farm location by the sea with mountains in the distance is gorgeous. When we arrived, a fresh baked apple cake greeted us on the dining room table. The house and our room were spotless, cozy, and we enjoyed meeting other lovely guests. Breakfasts were a feast, with fresh baked rolls, pancakes, homemade jams, salted/smoked salmon caught by Eva's husband, cured meat from their farm, juice and great coffee. The view from our room was beautiful, walking around Eva's farm with her friendly dog was fun, and it's conveniently located 10 minutes drive from Vik and local sights, shops and restaurants. Eva also has a shop with her own crafts. If you are lucky enough to have found this place, don't hesitate - book your stay! You'll be glad you did. It's a patch of heaven on earth.

Eva’s guesthouse was amazing. When we arrived there was cake and coffee/tea in the kitchen for us to enjoy. The breakfast each morning was phenomenal and something we both really enjoyed! I can’t stop thinking about the cured lamb and salmon-they we’re so good. We also enjoyed walking around the property, even in the rain!
