This was a good place for us to crash for a night - however it was quite busy trying to use the kitchen, even later at night. So you have to be up for sharing. Otherwise no issues. The bathrooms were quite wet because so many folks were showering and using them but they were nice overall and we never had to wait long to use them.

Great place with spacious rooms. Floor in the main lobby is also heated. Showers/bathrooms are clean with good water pressure. Check out time is a bit early which is the only downside (10am)

Good place to stay

Good place to stay, clean and comfortable. Shared space is convenient. Decent location considering it is a small town with few options. However 20-30 min drive into heart of Vik. No gas/stores closer

Room was very small, but that seems the norm in private guesthouses in Iceland. Close to roadway. Easy to find..great kitchen. I loved that there was milk for coffee!

This was our first time staying at a Guesthouse and can say it was a positive experience. The place was clean and you have access to a communal kitchen. The rooms were quiet and the bed was comfy. They had blackout blinds but the 2" gap between them make them less effective. Everyone seemed to respect each others' space. We were hesitant about sharing bathrooms but it was no big deal. It would be nice to have an extra towel or two, and a place to hang them in the room. Also, you have to use individual hand drying towels in the shared bathroom which is fine but that stack ran out very quickly.
