    Best stay in Iceland! House is far superior to what was expected/ online photos. Perfect location for Northern Lights viewing. Immaculately clean, organized, and well stocked house. Everything needed for a perfect stay.

    Beautiful place, in a secluded area. The hosts are amazing. The house they renovated has been done with so much taste ! The upper floor with all the windows and views is amazing. We really appreciated our stay there. Thanks again !

    The sun shone so bright directly into the room, so it was extremely hot inside. We should leave the door and all windows open till late night. Also, the bathroom is tiny and without proper ventilation

    It is a very nice place in the middle of nowhere. It is quiet and beautiful. In June, you have a view of the sunset for many hours. The guesthouse has a very well-equipped kitchen. Also, you have complimentary fresh coffee in the morning. The host was nice and friendly. We asked for our clothes to be washed (for a small fee) and by the time we left, all of our clothes were nice and warm. A friendly dog lives there.

    It was a quiet place far away from the city with a nice hot tub. Ideal for relaxing and seeing the northern lights.

    Fantastic guesthouse in an awesome location! Everything about my stay was perfect. The host provided a great stay in a very clean and comfortable house. Besides the great hot tub my favorite part of my stay was enjoying dinner and breakfast on the top floor common area with views of the ocean and surrounding countryside. Would love to stay again!
