Reviews of Guesthouse Dalbaer

Overall, it was a nice place for one night.

We knew to expect to share a bathroom but we were surprised how many people had to share. It was not clear that breakfast was available. Luckily, I asked. Other people were not so fortunate and only found out when they came downstairs.

Location

Shared kitchen and washroom arrangements could be improved a bit. Can add one more washroom and kitchen facilities so they don’t get crowded.

Serene and Peaceful location, beatiful farm and close to all golden circle attractions. very very accomodating hosts :)

I had 0 problems and would stay again anytime!

Area

Cows and flays

This is guesthouse on what seems to be a farm not far from the small village of Fludir. It is a good location if you have a car and want to explore the waterfalls and hot springs in the area. I arrived early to check in and host was accommodating and she suggested a couple local areas I might want to check out. The main house where my room was is separated from the newer purpose built guest house next door which has the communal kitchen and another bathroom. I think I might have preferred the slightly updated facilities of the new guest house but both were fine and comfortable.

I know this is silly but I think worth mentioning, when I arrived early I decided to put a some warm beers into the communal fridge in the kitchen so I could drink 1 or 2 later on when I came back. The fridge at that time had nothing in it and there was no post-it note or other way to let others know this was not free for the taking.. but come on, of course it was not free for the taking... Anyhow, I came back after a couple hours of exploring the area to find that someone in the now occupied guest house had drank 3 of the 4 beers I put in there. I asked about it an no one would admitted to it. Yes, this is a small and annoying thing but in Iceland a good beer costs about 4-5 USD each and I had planned to have them for a couple more days of my trip. I talked to the host and she was shocked saying this had never happened before in 20 years of running the place. I asked her to provide post-it notes or something similar in the future (just like every other communal kitchen I stayed at does) so that a guest can mark what food is theirs and she seemed to think it is not necessary. Well it obviously is necessary and not much to ask! I hope she sees this review and provides some way to clearly mark the food you bring so it doesn't get taken. It is just a small thing but it made my stay kind of suck because of a disrespectful guest or whoever it was who decided what was mine is there's. Please fix this.

Clean rooms, big couch in the common area, hot and cold water and some coffee / tea at your disposal.

Nice location in the middle of the fields with horses Good common space with a lot of facilities (kitchen, refrigerator etc). Parking in the court

All was good

Very nice room, with enough space. All was clean. Quiet environment around. The kitchen was well equipped.

Not a complaint just maybe good to know, some rooms are up the stairs so it is necessary to walk down the stairs when using the bathroom.

Its a comfortable house in fludir.. apart from the steep staircase leading to the tiny rooms everything is great.

Breakfast was good.

The room was really hot in the beginning. It took some time to figure out how to open the window and get some cool air in. Otherwise everything was as expected. Can recommend for anyone.

Lovely views ! There was chilled water as well as hot water for tea or coffee available .

Our room was on the third floor up a very steep staircase and the bathroom was on second floor . It was nice and quiet and very private.The kitchen was in another side building which wasn’t convenient .

We were in six and separated in 2 buildings which was a bit uncomfortable. The kitchen is not well equipped and shared between many rooms. Same goes for the bathroom.

The place was nice, clean, and comfy. Easy to get to. Kitchen is clean and has everything you need. There is a hot tub at the back.

Nice accomodation in very good location. The owners were nice and very flexible. We were only stayed for one night and that place perfectly suited our needs.

One small issue was the bathroom with toilet which was shared between about 10 people. Perhaps there should have been an additional toilet to serve everyone on time during the morning "rush period".

Room is very nice, clean.

The kitchen is in another building. It is a bit inconvenient.
