Reviews of Fossardalur Guesthouse

The view and the location were perfect

Long lineup for the shower and power outage

Very kind staff and good kitchen facilities.

Just the road to get to the guesthouse!

It was ok to stop for a night along the road to Egilsstadir

Hostel with only one shared shower, which is really not enough for all the guests. During the evening/night the bedroom was filled with smells from the kitchen.

Simple and clean. Good for one night stop

A bit far (14km) from any place to buy groceries

Hostel with camping options. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Two kitchens in the common area with adequate cooking facilities. Good quality/price ratio. Friendly staff

There's only one shower in the house and two bathrooms in total, one of which is in the shower, which causes queues at peak times. The road to get there is unpaved and not very convenient if you have a small car.

Beautiful location and quaint old farmhouse. The host Anya was also incredibly helpful and kind.

Cozy family room, with plenty of space and comfortable beds.

Very busy bathrooms and toilets.

Nice farmhouse from sometime in the early 1900s, I would guess. Simple but very comforting to feel like you are snug in a house, inside a glacial valley with three waterfalls you can get to within 90 minutes' walk. My room was small and the single mattress a tiny bit tippy at the edge but I slept incredibly well. UNIQUE PLACE!

A really decent guesthouse. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Having access to two fully kitted out kitchens was great as we were able to prep our own foods. The bathrooms were a little ‘sheddy’ but who cares - they were clean and warm. The room was nice although I don’t know about sleeping on a bunk bed at the age of 37. I guess it was fun. Great views from outside the guesthouse.

Nothing really. A nice stay. I almost tripped up on the step from the kitchen to the second kitchen 😂

A comfortable guesthouse near the Oxi pass and road 1, with welcoming and kind personnel. The rooms are adequate, beds comfortable. There are two well equipped kitchens and enough seats and tables for everyone. Games and colouring books for children, very appreciated.

Well, the road off the rd1 leading up the hill is something... Very steep, curvy, in June 2025 undergoing some repairs so heavy machinery to overtake. But the views and scenery makes up for it. Just to be aware that the drive is a bit difficult. Also, there are only 2 wc and 1 bathroom for 6 rooms (some of which triple or family) so it can get crowded and create queues in peak times. Plan accordingly.

It was the most stunning location from all of our 8 nights all around Iceland.

We were kind of baffled when we saw "bathroom" sign outside of the main building, but the inside was pretty standard and it turned out there was one more shower inside the house (+one more with just the toilet). The other thing the wooden ceiling in our room was quite literally bending, we could hear and actually see when someone upstairs was walking there. It was pretty low, so it was a bit concerning.

Fantastic location in a great spot, very friendly staff and two kitchens.

It was easily accessible and we were able to find it without difficulty after a long day of travel. Just perfect for a group of sisters passing through on a whirlwind trip!

Nothing - it was fine

The guesthouse is in a quiet valley out of road no.1, but not too far from it. It is small but well equipped, there are two kitchens with tea and coffee. There are two toilets, but only one shower, but for the guesthouse, it is enough. The room is spacious and equipped with earplugs. The whole house was cosy.

The bunk beds are made of steel or other metal, so you can hear it creak when you move, but with the earplugs I didn't hear anything.

It felt as if we are driving to one of the scenic spot instead of guesthouse. The location is bit inside but very pictureseque.

The location is amazing, you are surrounded by green mountains and lots of waterfalls. The girls at the reception were very welcoming

Very familiar and comfortable guesthouse, with good facilities (2 well equipped kitchens, and 2 bathrooms), and good rooms. We stayed in the attic and it was lovely, we felt so cozy! Friendly and quiet guests. Staff is super nice, and very responsive. They sell local teas and local handmade clothes!
