    It's on the route if you are travelling towards East. Shared accommodation with 6-7 separate sized rooms and 3 shared bath-toilet with common kitchen (well equiped). Parking available next to entry and across the street there is a restaurant (i guess by the guesthouse owner). Room for 3 felt bit cramped up on space but was ok for just 1 night stopover stay for us.

    Room was a bit on the small side once luggage was in.

    Lovely large kitchen dining area and bathrooms were clean and modern.

    Odd to sleep on a top bunk if 2 adults (mom and I) but it was fine. Bed was reasonable but not overly comfortable.

    Easy off main route location. Clean ans all of the reasonable amenities.

    This was a very standard Icelandic guest house, so very spartan. All the others had a sink in the room, this one did not. I was charged 2100 Icelandic Kroner for a very underwhelming breakfast which came in a bag in the fridge. Other guest houses included breakfasts.

    Beautiful location and having the restaurant across the street was good. The place is far better inside than it looks from the outside. The Rumanian young person who served me in the restaurant was lovely.

    Our room was a little smaller than we were expecting. We knew we were getting a bunk room, just didn’t expect it to be quite so small.

    Like the common kitchen area. That was a pleasant surprise and very well stocked. Appreciated all the plates, silverware, etc.

    The room was an extremely small room, we could barely stand together near each other.

    It was near skogafoss, the price was low. The kitchen was well equipped.

    From checking in to getting to my room was easy. This is a great place to stay for a night or two, it's clean, and has everything you need for a couple days. I'd highly recommend this place if you're traveling on the south coast of iceland!

    Beds were not that comfortable-mattresses need replacing maybe.

    Good location for travelling south Iceland. Place was warm & open shared facilities comfortable, bathrooms were clean. Easy check-in. Only met the staff at the restaurant opposite who checked us in. Handy to be able to go across the road for dinner although didn't think meals were good value for money. Would probably recommend self-catering.

    Friendly staff, small room and uncomfortable bunk bed for the price.

    I had reserved a twin room (and understood it was with two beds) but when we arrived it was a bunk bed. It was metal IKEA bed, and the mattresses weren't good, we both woke up our back hurting. The mattresses also made noise when turning. The room was very small, with no other furniture than a small dresser, not even a chair because that wouldn't have fit in it. The price of the room (117€) was quite high for that kind of a box.

    The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The bathrooms were clean and newly renovated as well as the common area and the room. The kitchen was well equipped and coffee and tea were included. Sheet were comfortable and very clean.
