Had a great stay here. Arrived late but they were great. The Viking village boat and ruins were more than we expected. We had fog, but still enjoyed the walk out to the water. Didn’t have time to do all the hikes. This is well worth the trip and would recommend whether you are staying in the guest house or camping/rving.

This property was nestled in at the base of Vestrahorn mountain. The staff was incredibly accommodating and didn’t mind that we checked in 1 hour after “check in hours.” The rooms were clean and spacious, and the cafe was lovely for dinner and continental style breakfast. Would stay here again!

Amazing little gem tucked away off the main road . Room was simple, but elegant and comfortable :) Beautiful surrounding property with walks through dunes to the ocean, and replica of small Viking village on site . Cafe provided delicious breakfast , and staff were very friendly :)

The location near Vestrahorn mountain was great - the night we stayed, the sky was clear and we got fantastic views of the northern lights. The stay included free entry to the Viking Village and Stokksnes black sand beach (which was one of the nicer beaches we saw on our trip). The room was simple and not huge, but it was very new and clean. It was perfect for our needs. A simple breakfast at the café was included with the room, but we opted to also get the waffles and they were terrific.

A mind-blowing location in South-Eastern Iceland. Modern, comfortable, clean Icelandic simplicity in the guest room. The warm, welcoming folks who run the place truly made our stay exceptional. And so much Icelandic wonder to explore here! We wish we had spent two nights, one wasn’t enough.

Room was good for the two nights we stayed. Staff was very responsive and kind. Complimentary breakfast is always a plus! Being right by Vestrahorn Mountain and getting free access to the surrounding area included in your stay is something you can’t beat!

Cute stop over stay. Comes with access to Viking village and black sand beach that was almost empty! Otherwise, you have to pay like 2500 idk per person to enter. Nice little breakfast that comes with the stay also

Your average accommodation in terms of room, however the staff were lovely and the complimentary breakfast was great! Not to mention the fact that you are located right under the shadow of Vestrahorn Mountain and access to the beach as well as Viking village is included with your stay! Spent two nights here and would definitely recommend.
