Reviews of Húnaver Guesthouse

Incredible view of the farm and mountain. Two bathrooms for two rooms.

Wish the front door can be locked to feel better.

The Czech caretaker on site was super friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and spacious, and contained an antique desk and chair each (although no cupboards). There was some complimentary coffee, tea and sugar. The bathrooms had ample hot water at high pressure. The location, while in the middle of nowhere (near the northern end of F35), is beautiful (almost everywhere in Iceland is beautiful, though). The décor of the main guest area is charmingly surreal, with a sizeable event hall that featured three antique Husquarna sewing machines in a row. There are two bathrooms in the guest house part for two double/twin rooms and a family room, which should be enough in most cases; and if not, the main guest area next door has more. There are some very bad reviews, but our experience was, on the whole, quite pleasant, with only minor inconveniences.

While the guest house has a kitchenette (complete with toaster, microwave, fridge -- but no freezer --, and electric kettle), there is nowhere to sit down and eat together; we ended up taking turns eating supper and breakfast at one of the desks in one of the rooms. (Outdoor tables and benches are available, but only pleasant in good weather.) There is no kitchen sink; you have to wash up your dishes in one of the bathrooms. The rooms are souterrain, with only small windows; in one of the rooms, neither of the windows opened. The nearest supermarket is at a gas station to the east, a ~15 minute drive away. A trivial annoyance: the caretaker has a Czech phone number, which, unless you're also Czech, is more expensive for EU residents to call from Iceland than an Icelandic number would be.

No kitchen to bad.

Nice room and comfortable beds

In a guesthouse , there should be a kitchen. Here there was no such thing, just a microwave and a fridge and a few dishes, which had to be cleaned in the bathroom. Not even tables and chairs to seat.

Weary cozy and nice we went after rettir so it was a good location not too far away

There is no pool witch we where expecting but that is in hunaver witch is closed now and maybe the pictures got mixed up

Clean, fresh, spacious and comfortable room. Super comfortable beds. We should stay longer than one night.

Nice location, spacious room.

No common sitting or relaxing area No kitchen area

Leaving

received what seemed to be the stereotypical Icelandic welcome – rude, arrogant, and belittling, a far cry from the hospitality I had expected. Upon entering the main building, which appeared inviting in photos, I was met by the INCREDIBLY RUDE owner, who seemed to take pleasure in being condescending towards me. To my shock, I was promptly asked to leave and directed towards the guest house. Descending into the cellar of the building, which ironically used to be a prison, I politely inquired if I could use the kitchen, only to be met with a flat-out refusal due to it being reserved for the owner's use. Instead, I was coldly instructed to drive to the nearest village if I wanted to eat. This ordeal ended up consuming a frustrating three hours of my precious time. The photographs online did a disservice to the grim reality of this establishment, which I can only describe as a depressing prison-like setting. I had essentially shelled out €100 for the privilege of sleeping in what felt like a dungeon. In summary, the location left much to be desired, the guest house was an absolute nightmare, and the owner's behavior was nothing short of disgustingly rude and condescending. It's disheartening that this experience seemed to mirror encounters with locals throughout my trip.

Easy check in, very clear instructions. We could even choose the room, as everything was empty. Beautiful surroundings, we watched Aurora whole night.

Kitchen is missing a sink, but ok.
