    Pleasant guesthouse with shared bath and good kitchen facilities and hot tub!

    Would have been nice to meet owner but everything was set up well so not necessary.

    Located a few kilometers north of Varmahlið on a horse farm, very nice guesthouse with 5 rooms and 2 shared baths. Extensive kitchen facilities. Breakfast was self served from refrigerator which worked well even with multiple guests. Showers warm, room decent size with comfortable beds. Hot tub outside was popular with all! Horse rides available for reservation on site. Owner had set everything up so never met him/her. Parking spaces fine. WiFi worked well.

    Nothing

    Let me say that it was just perfect to stay within this guesthouse, we did a lot during our trip and this is just wonderful. Everything is new, beautiful, well furnished and comfortable! In addition to all kind of attentions for breakfast, hand towels... and with amazing horses! Deserve a 5 stars +++

    Gravel outside extremely hard to manoeuvre with a wheelchair.

    The bathrooms worked well and the room was spacious enough for my husband to use his wheelchair. Beautiful view and horses outside. Plenty in fridge to breakfast with and everything was clean. Other guests were respectful.

    Wow, we loved this place!!! There was initially a mistake in our booking (we needed twin beds, not a double), so they kindly gave us two rooms. Kitchen was very well fitted out and we had fun making our dinner. Geothermal hot tub in the light rain surrounded by grazing horses. Met lovely people sharing the guesthouse. So much fun and so beautiful and clean!

    Very nice guest house!☺️ We felt very comfortable. The house is cosily furnished, has everything you need and even a hot tub outside. There was food in the fridge which we used to prepare a delicious breakfast. I can well imagine that on clear nights you can see the northern lights very well.

    Stayed one night only. Came in late and went early morning after. Very clean and comfy small room. Very quiet and good nights sleep. Cosy and lovely feel, as walking through grandmas house. Self service breakfast and coffee was very nice early in the morning. Enough choices for light breakfast. Had a nice chat with other guests, in the living room before departure :) Very homey feel. There was a hot tub and grill outside which we did not have a change to use, but looked nice. Environment beautiful with the winter sunrise in the morning.

    The room temperature was set and you could not change it. For me it was a bit to hot for me during the night. I think also it would have been great to have more information available in the common area about the breakfast, the amenities, the hot tub etc. Also I asked for a twin room but got a double bed.

    Breakfast was self-serve which was good. There were plenty of clean towels and washcloths, cotton pads and buds. Bed was comfortable and felt clean. Black out curtains where good and mesh shutters in windows to keep flies and bugs out. And the room was very roomy with plenty of space to keep your belongins.

    Accomodation smells fresh & clean. There are extra towels in the bathroom, free coffee and tea. Hot tub with a view, if you like to take a warm bath. Water comes from a natural source via drill hole. Owner lives across the street and is available for further questions. You wake up to a stunning view ❤️.

    Hot tub was warm rather than hot and thus was not suitable for long dips.

    Lots of food available for breakfast, more than fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed with nice views to the surrounding. Room was spacous, shower was nice and the house was easily accessible. We would book again.

    Self served breakfast. The reason we chose this place was it said free breakfast. Since we had been traveling all day, and had to get going the next day, we were hoping for full service to minimize time to get going in the morning. Fruits, yogurt, cheese, ham, eggs , drinks…etc we’re available in the fridge, but we also had some of these items with us. Dishes were also dirty so we had to re-wash them before and after use. To be fair booking does not differentiate between full service and self service breakfast.

    It was quiet and good view of the Northern lights. Hot tub was also available. Very clean and plenty of kitchen amenities.

    Our room was in front of the kitchen and we would hear everything the other guests would do, which is understandable when it's a guesthouse, but we could still hear them making noise even late at night. Just to keep in mind and case you prefer to sleep early.

    Good location when doing the ring road. The communication with the host was great. The kitchen was well supplied, and everything was clean.

    We are family of 4 and stayed in a family room. it was a bit tight as there was a bunk bed to accommodate the whole family. although, it was ok for one night and we spent the rest of the time in the common area. the guest house was well equipped, including washing machine and a drier that was really a big plus after several days of travelling.
