    We spent three nights at the guesthouse on this family-run farm and felt very comfortable. Our room was spacious, with a comfortable bed, a very large bathroom, and a beautiful view. The breakfast was special, as was the kindness and hospitality of the host.

    Our room was upstairs. Shower was private, but not en suite. It was downstairs, but comfy robe provided to get there🙂

    Breakfast (included) was a standout, fantastic.

    The only downside was the lack of screens on the windows and doors, which is common in Iceland. We wanted to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful breeze, but we hesitated to open the windows for fear of letting flies in. But this is a minor nit.

    I loved the warm and welcoming hosts, the breathtaking views, and the property's charm. It felt like a truly unique Icelandic experience, peaceful, authentic, and full of character.

    the cozy kitchen is really basic - but you have an option to use big kitchen in house.

    very delicious breakfast with many homemade products. our 4-persons apartment was equipped with 2 bathrooms! the hosts are really friendly and welcoming. the hike at Raudanes point is a must for everybody. Thousands and thousands of puffins and other birds are there.

    Absolutely nothing could have made it better!

    They were the best hosts we have had on our trip of Iceland so far. So concerned and accommodating when a blizzard delayed our arrival. We had great conversations with them in the morning and the breakfast with her homemade bread was perfect!

    Outstanding location! The studio we booked was the coziest place we've seen in Iceland. The owners have incredible taste. Also, freshly baked Icelandian bread is served for breakfast! I don't believe you can find something better. If you like dogs, there are 3 :)

    Nothing to report.

    Check-in is done in person, you just have to call and let it know you arrived. A beautiful apartment awaits us, divided into a large single room with a small kitchen and a bathroom on the ground floor and a separate large bedroom with its own toilet on the first floor. The upper room has three individual sleeping cabins with individual curtains - very romantic and intimate. The mini kitchen is of course much too small for our family of five, so the landlady offered us the use of her professional kitchen to prepare dinner at reception. We would especially like to thank the landlady for the lovely birthday present for our daughter!

    Don't take that as a complaint because like I said I do enjoy my stay but if there is one thing which can be improved (maybe) it's the size of the shower in the cabin. Thats just a bit small. Off course, I am rather tall but I can't really wash my hair in that shower.

    I am a returning visitor in Grasteinn Guesthouse, I enjoyed it 2 years ago.. I enjoyed it now so I knew what to expect. If I ever go to the same region in Iceland I will stay in Grasteinn Guesthouse.

    We loved every minute.

    A wonderful place to stay. Hildur & Siggi are fantastic hosts. The bedroom is spotlessly clean and the beds are very comfortable. We loved staying on a working farm and enjoyed visiting the sheep with Siggi. Breakfast was delicious with freshly baked bread, smoothies and scrambled eggs with eggs from their own hens. Raudanes is a great place to see puffins.
