    Good central location in a quiet area. Walking distance from Bus Terminal. Our room was small but adequate for our night there. The host and staff were very good. Room was clean.

    Couldn't get TV to work.

    Very charming! Easy access and close to downtown . And! Heated towel bar!

    Our own misunderstanding of how to use the faucet. Once figured out, it was great

    The location is central and lovely. The beds are comfortable and rooms very clean. The separate entrance through courtyard was convenient. We had 3 rooms and all enjoyed our stay. The owners were super accommodating for our needs.

    The host was great. Very kind and very flexible, she even let us check in very early and changed the date after we had booked the room for an incorrect date.

    The owner allowed us to check in early after an all night flight. Much appreciated! She was a good communication and helpful with suggestions on where to eat and what to do. The room was very clean

    Room was too small for a 3 night stay. Couldn’t unpack as there was only one small cabinet with hangers but no shelves.

    A wonderful location, a charming main house (which we did not stay in). Everything was as clean as possible, and the manager was thoughtful and communicative.

    We had a room on a lower part of the property, and it was a rainy day, so rain did come in under the doors a bit. This must happen fairly frequently, as there was evidence of moisture/water damage in some spots.

    Exceptionally sweet couple running a tidy, well-located guesthouse. No need for any transportation into downtown, we walked everywhere. Adorable pizza place up the street. Quiet, clean room.

    I was in Room 6. The ONLY change I would make is check on or add ventilation to the bathroom; the fan didn't seem to do anything or turn on and it steamed up quite alot. The water takes some getting used to - it's got a sulfur smell due to the natural composition of the water there / volcanic soil I imagine. But you get used to it and it's just part of life there.

    Great location for Reykjavík we walked everywhere!

    There was no shower curtain so the bathroom got wet but it was very clean and we were given extra towels.

    Great location not far from the city center. Nice spacious room with a fold out sofa for the kids. Clean and well equipped

    No way to darken the room when there is light until 10pm or later.

    Property location is within walking distance of center of town. Restaurants, tourist attractions and grocery store is close by.

    We were happy with everything.

    A very easy Self check in and checkout, which was handy as we left very early for the flight home. Room was cosy and enough for a quick 1 night stay. Short walk into the town centre which you could take a small detour via the town lake. Everything went as planned, nice place to stay.

    The property is located near downtown and within an easy walk to everything you might need- great restaurants, coffee shops, bakery, landmarks and grocery store.

    No disappointments.
