The host was friendly and helpful. There is a nice living room to hang out in during the evening. There is a small community refrigerator if you want to keep a few things cold during your stay.

Was a small guesthouse about 15-20 min driving distance from the town of Vik. Run by one woman who was very kind. Breakfast was extra and was very limited. When we arrived we were planning to have dinner at the guesthouse but we were told there was no dinner that night and so after a long day we had to drive into Vik to eat. We had to remove our shoes every time we entered. Overall was fine for 2 nights but if I return I would stay in Vik proper.

We stayed in the superior double room with private bathroom and it was lovely. Lots of space, a refrigerator and an upgraded bathroom. It was convenient to Skogafoss, Vik, Cape Dyrholeay where we saw puffins, and the Black Sand beach. This was our first stay in a "guesthouse" and I did not realize we needed to check in by 9pm and call ahead. Of course I was shocked after traveling all day to the southern coast and arriving at 11pm to find an empty front desk with a phone number to call. They were so kind though.

Enjoyed our one night stay. Check-in and check-out was quick. There was a small, common fridge and microwave that we could use. The blankets were the right thickness for the summer as we found blankets at other hotels were too hot for us for the summer. There was a nice character lounge area that we enjoyed in the evening.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in one of the single rooms, no private bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, the space was very comfortable to use as I explored the south of Iceland and it is close to many wonderful sights, and near enough to Vik for amenities. The breakfast option was an additional cost, and too expensive to be worthwhile for me. It is a no frills experience, very simple and straightforward. Check in is at 4 PM and no staff is present until then, making it a bit stressful if you arrive and don't know that.

Quiet country guesthouse on the way to Vik
Lovely remote guesthouse with great views. We stayed in room 12 with the winter white theme and loved it. Totally renovated. A few hooks in bathroom as well as a mirror in the room would be a good addition. Standard kettle with instant coffee and tea as well as fridge and hairdryer and bathrobes provided in Our room. Bed was comfy. Room was clean. Tracy, the owner was lovely and her dog Nero is the sweetest. We saw the northern lights here and it was out of this world. So many stars and the darkness was magical! They do have a restaurant but it is just for breakfast so need a car as it’s remote. Thank you Tracy for your help!!
