Nothing it was all great

The property is really beautiful - the decor is tasteful,warm and friendly. It has a hot tub and a cold plunge and a huge kitchen. There is a garden/conservatory linking the kitchen to the house which is simply wonderful filled with amazing plants with lots of seating. It is nothing like anywhere else we have stayed and stands out from the rest of the accommodation available in Iceland.

The rooms are cozy, well maintained and equipped. Beds are superb. The kitchen and sitting area offer room for homely interaction with other guests. No dinner or breakfast but this is known beforehand. A very relaxed place to start your golden circle adventure! Take some supplies with you. There are fridges at the hotel and a supermarket 15 minutes away.

A beautifully charming remodeled old building with perfectly decorated rooms at a peaceful location. The owners are very welcoming and helpful. We also appreciated the kitchen we could use despite a late arrival .

If there is an improvement, the mattress is very soft and the bed makes lots of noise with the slightest move. Other than that, everything is perfect.

The house is so unique and beautifully designed. I felt at home and relaxed. The garden and kitchen are the main attractions. I love having the huge kitchen space and dining area to use. It was very surreal siting in the garden with the midnight light and contemplated on life. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful.

The Wifi was a bit slow at times, but nothing major.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Old School House. Honestly, part of me wants to gatekeep this place – but of course I won’t. As a half-Icelandic person, this has definitely become one of my new favorite spots to stay in the countryside. We loved the garden, which was open for everyone to use. We actually ended up staying in for both dinner and breakfast, even though we had plans to go out and eat at restaurants. But the garden was just too cozy – we couldn’t resist. We also really enjoyed the hot tub and had an amazing evening watching the sunset. The kitchen and bedrooms were super clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Iceland. Magnea and Greg were so lovely and welcoming. You can really feel that they care and want you to have the best stay possible. 10/10, would recommend!:))

Shampoo in the bathrooms would be nice

Lovely owners and absolutely charming little hotel/hostel with much attention to detail and a personal touch to everything. Our kids loved the hot and cold tub. The Old School House features a stunning greenhouse sitting area, perfect for relaxing, reading and chatting (under a heating lamp when it gets too cool). Beds were very comfy. Good distance from sweet little town of Selfoss and good location for exploring the Golden Triangle on your way back to Reykjavik if that's were you are heading.

The place was clearly very thoughtfully designed, decorated, and well cared for. The plants in the greenhouse porch area were amazing!! That whole space was so calming and beautiful. The kitchen was very spacious and impeccably cleaned. Hosts were very friendly and kind. We didn’t get a chance to try the hot tub and cold plunge but I was happy they were there.

No complaints.

Very good location for doing the golden circle route. The property is well maintained and nicely decorated. The owners stay at the property. They were very welcoming and helped us settle down. Our room had one queen bed and two built in bunk beds for the kids. The kids loved their bunk beds. They have a nice glass house, hot tub and a big kitchen to accommodate the guests. Overall a fantastic stay.

Area was beautiful, the house was lovely and so nicely decorated. The outdoor area especially was really nice and the kitchen large and very well equipped!

Location was beautiful and quiet, perfect for my first night in Iceland after a long flight. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in while traveling. Beautifully decorated, felt like home. The massive outdoor garden porch space was covered, protected from elements, thought I was lucky with sunny weather. I wish I could have spent more time in this area. Kitchen was more than fully stocked, plenty of space and very clean. Wonderful hosts.

We had a wonderful stay at Gaulverjaskoli. Magnea and Greg are very warm hosts and have created a charming place to stay. The rooms are very cozy and clean and have everything you need. The shared kitchen and the charming winter garden were also great. It was a wonderful place to linger and chat with the other guests. The kitchen itself is well equipped for cooking. Magnea and Greg had very good recommendations for activities in the area and selfoss was a great base for horse riding, driving to the golden circle and hiking to hot springs. We can highly recommend this accommodation.

I know it’s not the Airbnb, but it would be really nice to have a shampoo for visitors and 2 towels for each person. Also there was a coffee but it would be great to have tea also.

Beautiful house inside and outside. It really feels that the hosts love their house and everything is done with love and care. There’s an awesome garden with many plants. Everything is fresh new and we would really recommend this place for our friends who visit Iceland.

It was our coziest stay in Iceland. The bed was really comfortable, the garden very beautiful. It used to be a school and it was great to see the some historic details/. The common room/kitchen was also a very nice place to be. Also the owners were really nice. We felt really welcome!

The rooms were spotless and very modern. The dining area was very comfortable. Quiet farm country. Near a local waterfall. Try the old dairy which is now a hip set of restaurants. 10 mins up the road.

Very nice hosts. Great kitchen and a beautiful inside garden with heaters to sit, eat and chat. Newly renovated. A gem to come back to 🙂

Stayed in April 2025

Unfortunately, since the owners were renovating, the hot tub was closed, which was disappointing as that was one of the reasons we chose the place. Also, the room was quite small for four people.

The house was beautiful and the owners just renovated it. The owners are very friendly people and made us feel at home. The place has a very large kitchen space with tables and everything you need to cook. The location is also great as it is very close to Selfoss but far enough to be isolated and far from noise.

Nothing to complain about everything was fine! Would have loved to stay longer! Recommend it

Perfect location for our first night in Iceland easy drive from airport and got to see the northern lights too which was a great start to our trip! Great kitchen facilities that we took advantage off! Didn’t use the lovely out door seating area but it was so nicely laid out! Superb hosts

I loved everything about this home. The location was perfect - It’s right on the way to all the best things along the south coast - only 12 mins from Selfoss, it was so quiet at night, super great place to see the stars or northern lights (from the very cozy hot tub on the patio), the greenhouse garden is to die for and the owners were AMAZING and SO lovely to chat to. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

I would definitely go there again. More beautiful than on the pictures, peaceful, good cooking area, nice places to chat whit other guests, clean, friendly owners, everything was good.
