    No complaints.

    Absolutely wonderful experience at this very accommodating guesthouse. You can tell how much effort the owners have put into making it comfortable and welcoming. There’s one full bath with a shower and another half bath, which is very handy if the shower is in use. The rooms are lovely, the beds comfortable, the linens clean and cozy, with extra pillows and towels provided. The kitchen is extremely well-stocked, yes, there’s now a colander for those who were wondering, plus plates, cups, and cookware. Guests need to bring their own food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc.), but there’s coffee, cooking oil, and a nice selection of spices left by the hosts and previous guests. Everything is impeccably clean, decorated in soft, muted tones that make the space feel peaceful. Despite the rain during my stay, I still enjoyed the hot springs right across the street, and even joined the locals for a swim in the ocean—they treated it like a sunny summer day! There’s a clothesline out back, though I wouldn’t recommend using it in wet weather unless you want your clothes wetter than when you hung them up. The host has a great sense of humor and is wonderfully welcoming. The location is fantastic—about 12 minutes from the ferry dock, not far from the Red Sand Beach, and of course, steps away from the hot springs. Overall, a fantastic space and perfect base for exploring the area.

    The dish soap was very low. Other than that, no issues!

    The view from the room is fabulous! The place is well set up and comfortable. We loved relaxing in the natural hot pot across the road at the end of the day. Perfect!

A guesthouse with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, and a wonderful host who is a wealth of information and fun to be around. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Really lovely and well equiped place. Even the check-in message from the host is very nicely worded :) The photos are not up to date! The interior is even more beautiful and inviting than I expected thanks to some decorative elements. Absolutely positively surprised!

    I found our quadruple room a bit too small. We were using it only to sleep, still there was little space for our baggage.

    The perfect, beautiful and peaceful location. The dining area was wide and bright and the kitchen had so many amenities. Our host was very helpful and nice.

    We had to dress our own beds, which was a bummer when we were so tired, but it’s not an uncommon practice.

    Loved the place. We arrived late at night, totally exhausted, and the big, bright, clean, comfy space was such a nice surprise. A warm, cosy hut in the middle of nowhere, with great views. Kitchen provided everything for cooking. The blinds and curtains properly kept the sun out during the night.

    Perhaps options to provide a bar soap and shampoo for folks like me who forgot to read the whole description.

    The apartment was very well equipped with kitchen amenities and spacious. The location was to die for, View from the rooms was spectacular. Wish I could have stayed a few days more.

    We didn’t realize we’d have so many amenities available! It was great to have our own full private kitchen, a living room, etc. The kitchen had all the cookware and utensils you’d need. There are not many restaurant options anywhere nearby (because of the remote location), so it was great to have that kitchen and fridge. We also found the place to be spotlessly clean, easy to find, and comfortable. We did not have a chance to meet the hosts, but it’s clear they are very nice people. Also, we found this place to be very reasonably priced. With so few options for tourists exploring the Westfjords, they could charge more and there wouldn’t be much we could do about it. But they charged a fair price. We would definitely stay here again. :)

    Could there be a couple of mugs for making tea or jot chocolate? ☺️

    Quiet, picturesque, with a hot spring by the sea across the road. Enough living space and gorgeously soft beds. Ideal for walks by the sea, epic hikes, or drives. Or just sitting, reading and writing, in the sun (we had fab weather). Hotel Flókilundur 15 km east does food every day 12-21, and has a self service petrol station. Otherwise people: stock up before you arrive. There is a fridge and a freezer here! If you fear the drive through the mountains, take the boat from Stukkurholmen to Brjanslækur, about 10 minutes east. Tak fyrir Rognvaldur!

    Maybe if all four rooms are filled (not in our case), one bathroom would be a bit little for all to share.

    Relaxed and kind host with a very clean and well organised guesthouse. The hot tub in front of the door is a great addition.

    Kitchen could have had more items to use for cooking and other ways to make coffee. But it didn't really make a huge impact on our overall stay.

    Great location and a cozy space!
