Everything was very good. Even though we had shared bathrooms and toilets, we only had to wait a few minutes on one occasion (and we were there for two nights). The location was great on a farm. I highly recommend it.

The guesthouse is located on a beautiful farm about 15 minutes from Skogafoss to the west and about 25 minutes from Vik to the east. This location was a perfect base for us to explore the south coast waterfalls, the scenery around Vik, and a day trip to the Westman Islands. The staff was very friendly. Our favorite part of this guest house was the included breakfast! They offered a delicious assortment of meats, cheeses, cucumbers, boiled eggs, bananas, skyr, breads, coffee, tea and juices each morning. The room was small, but comfortable.

This was the first time I stayed in a hotel with a shared bathroom. I was wary at first, but it turned out to be a pleasant experience. We never had to wait when we needed to use it. Breakfast was average. Friendly staff at checked in.
