    We had a short but very good stay. The room is very pleasant, clean, and has everything you need to feel comfortable and at ease; they’ve really taken great care with the details. We slept and rested very well — thank you for making this such a lovely place that makes you want to come back.

    Nothing at all

    Everything - easy to find with clear signage, the hosts were lovely people, comfy beds, the room was spacious and extremely clean, shower had very good water pressure and was warm. Its about 15 min from Selfoss so really close to amenities but secluded at the same time. There is a fridge in the room for your own food, kettle and tea and a welcome biscuit. Easy parking just out front. We came a bit late around 10pm so didn't see the full kitchen but in the common corridor for the 2 guest rooms, there is a microwave and plates and cutlery for use probably because of those late check ins and snacks. So thoughtful!

    .

    The room is very comfortable and welcoming — very clean, neat, and modern. The en suite bathroom is excellent and includes some toiletries and a hairdryer. Complimentary coffee and tea are available both in the room and in a small area equipped with a microwave, dishes, and cutlery. The guesthouse is located in the middle of the countryside and offers lovely views. Wi-Fi works well.

    The view was really peaceful, you could see the horses sunbathing outside near a small lake. The room together with the private bathroom were really clean (was provided also shower gel).The bed was very comfortable. There was a kettle, that's always useful, with teas selection. The owner had been really kind and welcoming. It was our first night in Iceland and had been nice talking to such a friendly person.

    We arrived late in the afternoon so we couldn’t enjoy the surroundings enough

    We liked everything! ❤️ The room was clean and comfortable. We had some coffee and tea. The place is magical: you are in a remote place from where you could see mountains, horses, birds and there are 2 cute cats playing around.

    Mattresses are too soft. But somehow it was like that almost in every guesthouse we stayed in Iceland.

    Small guesthouse on a farm with just two separate rooms. Modern interior. You can see horses right from your window.

    The only difficulty is that the room we stayed in was on the smallish side, so that it was somewhat crowded with two people and luggage. But it was certainly workable and not a big problem.

    Loved the location. It seemed like a real slice of rural Iceland. The owner was friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean and neat.
