Summary: We booked this guesthouse through Hotels.com which indicates that you need to call in advance as there is no reception staff. We had a hard time getting our call through by using the phone number indicated on Hotels.com website. It took a long time and two attempts to get someone on the phone, and we were told that someone will be there at our arrival.
We got to the guesthouse, but no one in sight. We tried again to call, but to no avail, and started panicking as we were far away from any location where we could have found other accommodations! We noticed two different phone numbers on the door. We called the first one, no answer! We called the 2nd one, and finally we got someone on the phone.
So, the check-in nothing to be impressed with!
The property: The exterior made us wonder if we had made the worst decision in terms of accommodations for our two-week trip to Iceland. The photos do not reflect the reality. The stairs badly need renovations. The building is old.
The room: regular, shared bathroom. We didn’t appreciate the idea of tiding the shower/bathroom, as we think that THAT is the host’s “prerogative"!
Kitchen can’t be used by guests, breakfast - nothing special, with few things available, small quantities, 30 minutes to help yourself while others are waiting in line behind you AND eat!!! The host stares at you all along, and makes you uncomfortable while you eat or pick up food as it's time to leave as per her rules!
We didn't feel comfortable nor welcome!

Summary: This was a room only, shared bathroom and kitchen stop for us. The lady owner waited for us to arrive up to a late hour, and prepared sandwiches for us to leave before breakfast, thank you. The room for 3 was on a really small side, but for
1 night was ok for us. The room was clean and has a small sink, which is a bonus. The location is off the main road about 15 min or so, is quiet and peaceful.

Summary: We arrived a little after 9pm. The host was very friendly and accommodating. She met us at the door.
Even though this is a small guest house, it was very quiet. Had a great nights sleep.

Summary: The hostess was very helpful and amiable. She provided a modest breakfast in the morning that was very well done. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. We appreciated that the washroom and shower were separate from each other. Both were very modern and bright. Access to the kitchen area to chill out (both in the evening and in the morning) was very nice. The guest house was situated on beautiful grounds which was the site of a former church. Negatives? None. Would definitely stay here again!
