I’m sure this guesthouse is quite busy in the summer but it was so quiet and nice this winter! The room was bigger than expected and the bathrooms and showers were clean. It was nice having everything to ourselves. We also had a vegan lasagna in the restaurant area and it was delicious. Thanks for a great stay!

Great stay
We had a very nice stay here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. the bed was comfortable. Tasty breakfast with plenty of choices. It was a short stroll down the hill to the Fontana geothermal baths.

This was the only "hostel" we stayed at while in Iceland but we did have a private room. The view was beautiful, everything was clean and the staff was amazing. We ate dinner there (not many other options nearby) and were pleasantly surprised! Definitely would recommend if you're in the area!
