An extra shower room would be handy and is the only thing that the property would benefit from.n

Beautiful home in gorgeous settings. Shared kitchen for guests to use with everything you need. Good size rooms and comfortable beds. Lovely, friendly hosts and a great breakfast served at 8am. Unfortunately we could only take advantage of this one morning as the others we had early starts.

We loved the comfortable, bright, homelike feeling of this accommodation. Enjoyed everything, specially the breakfast vibe (together with host and other guests at the same table), spacious living room where we could relax having wonderful view, big clean bathroom, guest kitchen where we met some of the kindest people. We would definitely stay there again.

Nothing much. Maybe it was a little pricey, but hey for all the perks and benefits that we reaped from this place, I was happy to pay. Just something to note for the more cost conscious folks!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE! Hands down, this was my FAVOURITE place of all the guesthouses I stayed in in Iceland. Heck, I'd come back to Iceland just to make a visit to this place. Where do I even begin with describing why I loved it so much? For starters, the hosts were absolutely splendid. Very hospital and welcoming, very warm and friendly. Thor and Ivar were the cutest couple, like a nice lovely grandma-grandpa duo. They were kind enough to let us use their washer and dryer (which they don't normally do), they chatted with us (about Icelandic politics and economy, about the state of youth, about worldly affairs etc.), shared about their family with us, gave us little bites of food they cooked, prepared an absolutely lovely and homely breakfast for us, gave us roadtrip recommendations... I couldn't bear to leave them :( Secondly, the HOUSE! Goodness gracious me, the house was a real marvel. Ivar had built it from scratch himself (I loved hearing him tell us the story of how he did it), and the worksmanship is truly impeccable! The house was spacious yet warm and cosy at the same time, and the design of the house was very tasteful. You can tell they have really taken care of it, as everything was spick and span, kept in good order, with little pictures and ornaments around from the couple's family, travels, past stories etc. It helps too that the view of the snowy mountains from their house is just incredible! Thirdly, we were so incredibly lucky to have been able to catch the Northern Lights there, which was really the cherry on top. We were also lucky to have been the only guests who booked their house at that time, so we got the whole house and all the facetime with the hosts to ourselves :D Beware, they close for winter, so if you're planning to visit here, go in the warmer seasons!

Super friendly proprietor. Great view of mountains and surroundings. Comfortable shared living space and amazing breakfast. Large shared bathroom plus additional toilet if required, plus shared kitchen.

We have no complaints, however it would be useful if the fridge in the guest kitchen had a freezer.

This is a beautiful property, with warm and welcoming hosts. The home is clean, modern and has all of the amenities we were looking for. The views from the backyard are spectacular, and the sitting area outside has a hot tub, comfy seats, and an area to eat. There is a separate kitchen for guests to use to prepare their own meals or to store things in the fridge. The living room inside is beautifully decorated and very comfortable for relaxing. Breakfast in the morning is delicious, with homemade breads and lots of choices for something to eat. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this property to anyone who will be staying in the Akureyri area.

Very friendly family, great location with a stunning view and lovely walks from the door and easy access to so much.

We were satisfied with all aspects of our stay.

The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming. The breakfast had everything you could want and more. This was an ideal place to rest and relax for two weary travelers. The property is very well maintained, clean and decorated with many interesting pieces of art. The environment feels cozy and homey, yet the rooms are private and quiet.

The road that leads to the house, drive with caution.

The Hosts! They were very nice, friendly and they give you privacy! The Guesthouse is a beautiful house, it felt like you were visiting friends. Breakfast is also very good.

The only thing would be bigger signage on the road.

The breakfast was superb, even homemade bread and kiwis! The house is filled with carvings and woodwork done by the owner. The house is very spacious.

We liked EVERYTHING! No dislikes to report!

Beautiful location and excellent facilities! Lots of space and solitude. The shared kitchen was squeaky clean and had everything we needed to prepare our dinner. The room was also clean and extremely comfortable. Hosts were welcoming and friendly and available to answer questions. The breakfast was fantastic! A great place to stay that we would love to return to!
