    On the downside, the prices are quite high and feel exaggerated for what is offered. However, this seems to be the general standard in Iceland, so there’s not much to do about it.

    The guesthouse met our expectations. The room was nice, clean, very spacious, and quiet. The hotel provides all the necessary utensils for cooking and eating, and there is convenient parking right at the door. Overall, it’s a good option.

    If I'd have to name one thing: a bottle-holder in the shower would be appreciated.

    Very nice stay here! You might think I'm exaggerating, but the shower here was the cleanest I think I've ever seen anywhere on all my travels.

    You have to have a 4 digit code that you get by message on the Booking.com app to access the door. I didn’t read my messages. My bad.

    Conveniently located just across the river from Egilsstadir. Very quiet.

    The guesthouse was immaculate. The kitchen was so clean, I was amazed for it being a shared kitchen. All the guests were respectful about cleaning up and being quiet. I appreciated that there was also a dishwasher, as well as plenty of dishware and utensils to cook a full meal. The staff cleaned the kitchen daily. The rooms were spacious with room for luggage for two people. There was even a closet. The beds were incredibly comfortable. The location was so peaceful on the lake and very close to town (less than 5 minutes to grocery store). I saw reviews about noise from campers, but during our stay, the campground was closed. The only noise we heard was the silly oyster catcher (bird) saying hello.

    No staff around. Last morning we were there power went off in whole object and alarm device was beeping because of that. After half an hour or so that no one from staff showed up, we managed to fix it ourself. Also, it is overpriced - same price level as some 3 star hotel in capital city. Maybe it's because of time period we booked (holiday weekend) but even in that case still...

    Location is very good, just outside of Egilsstaðir, on the lake - nice, quiet and easy to find. Kitchen well equipped. Beds are comfortable and nice to sleep. Room was big and cosy and had our own bathroom.

    This is a great place to stay. The kitchen is large and well equipped, the common room offers enough space for all guests, you have your own private bathroom and everything is well kept and clean. From the guesthouse you have a lot of possibilities to visit the eastfjords and it‘s only five minutes drive to the Vök Baths.

    We liked everything

    It was one of the best places we stayed in during our vacation. The place is incredibly clean, including rooms and shared spaces. Rooms are spacious and cozy, the beds are super soft. The kitchen was equipped with everything for comfortable cooking, you literally can cook anything you like at this kitchen. Every detail in this guesthouse has been carefully considered. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

    The entire place is amazing! The kitchen is fully equipped, plenty tables to seat and tea/coffee available all the time. The bedroom size is great, you can easily fit all your stuff. The cleaner staff is super attentive and helpful. The location is also good, nearby the airport and on the way for some waterfalls trekking.

    The sulfuric smell in the warm water (which is in many places in Iceland) might put off some people and give the studio a bit of an odd smell. But that’s Iceland :)

    Great place to stay! We stayed in the studio apartment, everything was great.
