Reviews of Melar Guesthouse

The location is unbelievable, the studio had so much charm & character and was very peaceful & cozy! The hosts even left us a couple slices of delicious homemade apple cake. Would be very happy to return here again in the future .

There was some noise from people walking in the rooms above the studio.

...fantastic settings - great accomodation

The landlady's smile was priceless, when I arrived ! And damn, the hot tub in front of the sea was perfect with that golden hour~

Beautiful house with very well equiped kitchen. Big bonus - hot tubs outside plus beach in front, where we took a cold dip to the sea. What is more, there are extra towels and even swimming suits in a bathroom which you can use for hot tubs, in case forgot your own.

The house was very cozy and clean with lots of attention to detail. We loved sitting in the hot tub and swimming in the ocean. Overall it is a very nice property in a quiet little village.

We didn’t realize there are 4 bedrooms and only one bathroom in the house and the house was full when we stayed. It was crowded with 4 couples trying to make dinner in the kitchen all at the same time. My other complaint is that the hot tub was not available to use in the morning. We were looking forward to a soak when we woke up. It seems that maybe they drain it every night.

It was a beautiful apartment on the first floor of a larger house overlooking the ocean. It has all facilities including a washer and dryer. The hot tub overlooking the ocean was spectacular. I would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back. Owner was super nice!

The Whole atmosphere,

Melar is an amazing guesthouse! We stayed in the studio suite, and it was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped with a coffee maker, oven, stovetop, dishwasher, etc. The hot tub was an added bonus! The bathroom was roomy and the bed was very comfortable. The decor was somewhat eclectic but it fit the historic house perfectly! Communication with the host was excellent and check-in was easy. The location is quite remote, but this area of Iceland is definitely worth visiting!

It would have been nice to have a toaster; a microwave would have also been good.

Cozy, beautiful furniture. Hot tubs by the ocean. Warm house, really cool hosts. We were also alone in the house.

Beautiful guesthouse! It's pretty remote but we liked that. The environment and the sunsets where also magnificent. We where mainly here to work for a few days, it was perfect for that: WiFi was fast, it was a quiet environment, and there was a good table to work on. A friend of the host was taking care of the guesthouse for a little while; Sigrun and her husband where super kind, very nice people!

The Room description is misleading, the other rooms without a bathroom say that in the heading. But the Deluxe with Sea Views also has no bathroom but it doesn't say that until the very small print. Very annoyed. The smallest room we have had in Iceland. Stairs to bathroom. Be aware there are apartments on the basement/ground floor that are fully self contained and most reviews seem to refer to those. The 4 upstairs bedrooms have a shared bathroom and living area on the middle floor. Not even a separate toilet so a long wait when the shower is occupied. Water pressure terrible, possibly when a downstairs apartment turned on a washing machine or dishwasher.

Had the whole guesthouse to ourselves. Very cozy; great hot tub; may be a bit crowded when fully booked.
