Reviews of Guesthouse Básar 3 stars

Excellent!

the staff was phenomenal, we got picked up from the ferry and felt welcome from the first moment on the island! the room itself was spacious and cosy with a lovely view, the location is amazing, but that goes for any accommodation on the island, the breakfast was nice and quiet and cosy with enough options to choose from

The hosts Ausa and Gaga made me feel like family-in a good way :). They even offered to drive and pick me up to most any part of the island at anytime. The house was very comfortable and I had the best room-large especially for Iceland and it overlooked the water. Stay here if you come to Grimsey! Grab a room if it's available they go quick. Heard it's the best guesthouse on the island

The owners go beyond expectation to make sure you are welcomed

Not staying for more than one night

Àslaug and Gagga are wonderful hosts. I was told the only rule is to call them if I have any questions. We were met at the ferry so we didn’t need to carry our bags on the 1 KM walk to the guesthouse. We were offered rides to the settlement and the lighthouse.

Such wonderful hosts, so kind and generous. Excellent breakfast. Great ocean views and as a bonus, whales! We were lucky with mild relatively dry weather. We really do hope to come back.

All good!

Was greeted on arrival at the airport. Very friendly staff. Good location for hiking around the island.

Very attentive staff, clean facilities, great service. The staff picked us up from the port and dropped us back. They were always available and helpful.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience staying at this charming guesthouse in Grímsey. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for exploring the island and ensuring we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The location is perfect for experiencing the tranquility and raw beauty of Grímsey, with easy access to local wildlife and the iconic Arctic Circle. I highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone looking for an authentic, comfortable, and unforgettable experience in Grímsey.

Simple, quiet.

Grimsey is small, and an amazing place for wildlife. Gagga, the owner, was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble - she's obviously a local and knows everything and everybody. Brilliant host, great location and excellent facilities.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Gagga was at the ferry dock to pick us up and had delicious soup waiting for us at the house. The house was very clean and comfortable. We brought our own food for dinner but Gagga did offer to cook for us. She had breakfast ready for us in the morning. You can easily walk to the arctic circle sphere from the house. The airport is next door (there is not frequent air traffic so it is not noisy). We would love to return here someday.

I had a blissful 25 hours in Grimsey. Just wished I could have stayed longer. Gagga such a wonderful host, and person. I had a lovely cosy room with a fantastic view. Everywhere was very clean, and the kitchen was very well stocked (including stove top espresso pot). Gagga picked me up from the ferry, explained the island’s history and gave me information on opening hours. When she took me back to the ferry she took me to see her flock of sheep - her husband is a shepherd. Thank you Gagga

Everything about my stay at Guesthouse Basar was exceptional. I cannot rate it high enough. The accommodation was impeccable, warm and comfortable, spotlessly clean. Gagga my host bent over backwards to make my stay enjoyable and memorable. She picked me up from the ferry, took me on a tour of the Island, provided all my meals and on the day of departure drove me back to the ferry. She was and is amazing. I have no hesitation in recommending Basar to future travellers. They will not be disappointed.

It was clean modern, warm and very comfortable.

This stay was fantastic, we had the entire guesthouse to ourselves and Gagga made us feel super welcome - greeting us off the boat and driving us to the guesthouse. Grimsey is stunning and it was the perfect base to go exploring and walk round the whole island.

The Basar guesthouse was perfect for us. Very clean and stylishly decorated. Gagga picked us up from the ferry and gave us a lift to the guesthouse. The lady is very nice and helpful, she even offered us how she could help us. We will remember Grimsey and the Guesthouse Basar for a long time. Gagga, we wish you, your family and Guesthouse Basar all the best!

Extremely nice guesthouse with a great location on the island. Next to the airport, a few minutes walk to the town and the closest guesthouse to the arctic circle. From the kitchen in the guesthouse I was able to watch the whales feeding. It was a quiet location with all the things I needed. Great stay.

Room was small.

Overall a great experience..owner is super friendly and helpful..breakfast was terrific..views were amazing..planning on staying there again in the future

Actually,there are no complaints
