There was some noise from people walking in the rooms above the studio.

The location is unbelievable, the studio had so much charm & character and was very peaceful & cozy! The hosts even left us a couple slices of delicious homemade apple cake. Would be very happy to return here again in the future .

The landlady's smile was priceless, when I arrived ! And damn, the hot tub in front of the sea was perfect with that golden hour~

Beautiful house with very well equiped kitchen. Big bonus - hot tubs outside plus beach in front, where we took a cold dip to the sea. What is more, there are extra towels and even swimming suits in a bathroom which you can use for hot tubs, in case forgot your own.

It was a beautiful apartment on the first floor of a larger house overlooking the ocean. It has all facilities including a washer and dryer. The hot tub overlooking the ocean was spectacular. I would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back. Owner was super nice!

Absolutely lovely and wonderful stay. Best views, nice decorations and also very kind host. The hot tubs are a great plus, too. I'd definitely come again and will recommend this little oasis to everyone I know that travels north. The area is totally underrated and there are a lot of nice things to see. You can get some groceries in Asbyrgi or Thorshöfn if you come from the other direction. The house is equipped with everthing one might need :).

It would have been nice to have a toaster; a microwave would have also been good.

Melar is an amazing guesthouse! We stayed in the studio suite, and it was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with a coffee maker, oven, stovetop, dishwasher, etc. The hot tub was an added bonus! The bathroom was roomy and the bed was very comfortable. The decor was somewhat eclectic but it fit the historic house perfectly! Communication with the host was excellent and check-in was easy. The location is quite remote, but this area of Iceland is definitely worth visiting!

Cozy, beautiful furniture. Hot tubs by the ocean. Warm house, really cool hosts. We were also alone in the house.

Beautiful guesthouse! It's pretty remote but we liked that. The environment and the sunsets where also magnificent. We where mainly here to work for a few days, it was perfect for that: WiFi was fast, it was a quiet environment, and there was a good table to work on. A friend of the host was taking care of the guesthouse for a little while; Sigrun and her husband where super kind, very nice people!

Had the whole guesthouse to ourselves. Very cozy; great hot tub; may be a bit crowded when fully booked.

The mattress is a little too soft for me personally

The quiet and cozy house have us get far away from everything, plus the fried salmon in the convenient store just nearby is the best salmon i ever have.

The only thing for people to know is that there is only one bathroom - when we were there there was just one other couple so it worked out - but if the place is full it might entail a wait if someone is showering and you have to go. The other thing for people to know is that the rooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs.

This place is just a hidden gem and so fantastic. The house is on the water, with two hot tubs so you can look at the water and wildlife. The kitchen is beautiful and the rooms just feel so luxurious. The owner is incredibly friendly but not overbearing - just helpful and there if you need them for questions. The house is wonderfully decorated and we absolutely loved our stay.

Noting to complain

We spent 3 days in Melar Guesthouse and had such a great time. The location is very unique, with lots of little carefully selected details and decoration. The host is so s^nice, giving lots of information and stories, while always respecting privacy. To relax in the whirl pool after a day full of excoursions was so nice.

Everything was perfect.

Obviously the view was breathtaking. Looking at the view from a hot tube, right next to the house, makes it even more epic. Very friendly owner. And have I mentioned the interior? Amazing! Everywhere the personality of the owner is found in the decor. Thanks!

A bit away from the main tourist routes, this less known region in the northernmost part of Iceland is definitely worth visiting. I liked to stay overnight in a typical icelandic building, which is actually not so easy to find as accomodation. This house, right on the seashore, was recently renovated. The rooms look modern and are comfortable. I also liked the friendly house owner who offered on arrival to take a bath in the hot tube in the garden. There were even icelandic locals residing as guests in the guesthouse, which somehow gave me the feeling of even more authenticity. It feeled like staying in somebody's private house. I would definitely come again.

We didn’t realize there are 4 bedrooms and only one bathroom in the house and the house was full when we stayed. It was crowded with 4 couples trying to make dinner in the kitchen all at the same time. My other complaint is that the hot tub was not available to use in the morning. We were looking forward to a soak when we woke up. It seems that maybe they drain it every night.

The house was very cozy and clean with lots of attention to detail. We loved sitting in the hot tub and swimming in the ocean. Overall it is a very nice property in a quiet little village.

The Room description is misleading, the other rooms without a bathroom say that in the heading. But the Deluxe with Sea Views also has no bathroom but it doesn't say that until the very small print. Very annoyed. The smallest room we have had in Iceland. Stairs to bathroom. Be aware there are apartments on the basement/ground floor that are fully self contained and most reviews seem to refer to those. The 4 upstairs bedrooms have a shared bathroom and living area on the middle floor. Not even a separate toilet so a long wait when the shower is occupied. Water pressure terrible, possibly when a downstairs apartment turned on a washing machine or dishwasher.

No private shower despite private bathroom being part of booking. Only one hook for clothes in room and no shelves for smaller things. Sound carries easily between bedrooms.

Exquisite design and refurbishment of an old house in a beautiful natural setting. Very friendly host. Warm jacuzzi and possibility for sea dip.
