Reviews of Tungulending Guesthouse

Great location on the water. Was nice hearing the water at night with an open window. The key box feature is very handy and nice.

The staircase upstairs is more like a ladder and was hard for people with big bags.

Tungulending Guesthouse is the best place to stay in Iceland if you appreciate a quiet peaceful time and have come for the Icelandic nature. It is a little remote. My daughter and I had a marvellous time there and the hosts are extremely friendly and helpful. For us, it was magic. In summer, when the owners offer coffee and tea, try the homemade chocolate cake.

Very clean and charming

Clean, cozy, and such a beautiful yet quiet location right on the water! What a treat it is to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean:) This guesthouse is run by a lovely family who were so kind and accommodating. The history of the guesthouse building is very interesting too… ask Tessa, she’ll be happy to share all about it! The property doubles as a coffeehouse that locals frequent so you get a cool glimpse into life here… I would recommend this guesthouse! P.S. the hill really isn’t that bad :)

No kitchen to cook in HOWEVER, they provide you with hot water, a fridge, a toaster, a panini press, and plates/bowls/utensils. The kitchen is reserved for the coffeehouse so there’s lots of yummy baked treats to purchase when the cafe is open!

Sensational location; kind owners; spacious common area; modern shared bathrooms; comfy beds. Appreciated being able to prepare simple meals and access coffee/hot water.

Provision of a full size fridge with freezer would be helpful; microwave positioned so it couldn’t reach a power point (had to move it from a high shelf). Noticed most guests prepared own dinners and breakfasts so may need to rethink how to make it more user friendly.

Located right on the water, the views are spectacular. Shared bathrooms and toilets were large, clean and any wait to use was never long. We made use of the kitchen area to prepare a simple dinner and breakfast and then enjoyed the views from the deck. Coffee, tea, and coffee was available 24/7 but ran out before the staff arrived at 8:30AM the next morning.

There was a musty smell in our room and one pillow didn't smell fresh. It was fine after it was flipped over. It was difficult preparing food without use of a sink or cutting board/knife. While there was a microwave, shared refrigerator, bowls, plates, cups, it wasn't enough when most of the guests prepared their own meals. It would help to provide paper towels or dishcloths for clean up, maybe even dishwashing liquid at the toilet sink since there was no kitchen sink.

The check in was easy and smooth. The position in front of the ocean is simply amazing. The attention to details both in the room's furniture and in the common areas is really appreciated: a great mix of taste and functionality!

Dishware cannot be washed by the guests for hygene reasons, but I believe also having them piled at the counter is not ideal.

Location and easy check in, with comfortable services and excellent views Use of the common kitchen and utensils is flawless and essential given how remote the property is The remote nature of the location is a big plus and I would recommend travelers to seek this kind of truly honest establishments with great environments and close contact to nature; as well as friendly services Hosts are very welcoming and warm; all smiles all the time We felt really at home

It’s the closest I’ve felt to being at home, even while being in a completely unfamiliar country. There’s something about the warmth, atmosphere, and ease that just made it all feel surprisingly familiar. The owners are truly going above and beyond — you can really feel the care and effort they put into everything.

Beautiful location and great rooms

Shared bathroom and shower

We were very happy in this fantastic accommodation by the sea, we had a great time there and the best view of all houses in Iceland. Our children enjoyed that stay also, we felt there like in the fantastic paradise of the ocean. The owners are very nice and helpfull family, I admire their style of life and we are gratefull to be able to join them for a while. Thanks a lot!

The place was very near to Husavik. The location and views are amazing with a walkable boardwalk over the waterbody. The room was small, but it still had a provision for a good stay. The atay had a common room for dining which we used fully as we were a group of 7. The hosts were really accommodating and nice and provided clear instructions.

Only thing to be mindful was the shared bathroom but they were well maintained as well.

great location with comfortable bed. It was nice to have breakfast available.

The shower drain was clogged and overflowed.

Prettiest place we stayed in Iceland. The view from the dock was perfect and the drive down was a treat.

We loved the character and charm. The location was absolutely wonderful. The owners, Thessa and Chris, are very friendly and welcoming. They love their guesthouse and guests, and it really shows. We loved laying in bed and looking out over the sea. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The beds were comfortable, and the room was warm. The cafe runs each day downstairs until 6.30 pm. The cakes are scrumptious. There is a corner set up with a fridge, microwave, toaster, and jug for guests to use, as well as plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery. Cereal and milk are provided. Coffee, tea, and hot water are provided also. The cafe kitchen can not be used by guests. Bring food that does not need cooking on a stove and is easy to prepare. We would have loved to stay for longer in this very special place, but our trip did not allow. Thanks, Thessa and Chris, you are the best!

There was nothing not to love

Somitude and magnificent view.

Our room no 1 had a smell of fish all evening/night but was perfectly clean. Strange though.
