We loved staying at this property! The quietness was lovely. The fridge was stocked for breakfast which was appreciated and the hot tub was wonderful after many days of hikes. The only small issue was trying to contact the property. I was not able to use my phone to call and the property does not respond to messages, but a wonderful place to stay and would highly recommend!
When travelling through on the ring road, just stay here. Rooms are nice, and the shared bathrooms well kept. Very nice kitchen, well stocked for breakfast! Rural setting with Icelandic horses nearby.
Wished we had read the directions for the hot tub before it had gotten too late for us. We were able to enjoy the northern lights from just outside the back door. This location would be perfect for a small group of families.
You are the best hostel or guest house that ever stay.
Hot tube is very good, all of facility and food for breakfast is very good too. If you thinking that should i book this place or not. I can told you that, you should booked!!
We had a very good stay. The accommodation was clean, had a good kitchen and a cozy bedroom. A nice neighbor dog came by in the evening and morning to be cuddled by us :D
We also really enjoyed the hot tub with a view of the snowy landscape and horses (There were problems with filling it, but our host quickly solved it)

Shared property, horses on property, laundry washer and dryer, breakfast foods in fridge. Unfortunately lots of flys during the day
I love the decor and the "spa" like feel of the room and bathroom. Very clean, easy to find, quiet location. What I didn't like is the fancy blinds I couldn't figure out and had to place pillows in the window to block out the light. I also had an embarrassing morning with breakfast. Other guesthouses label the guesthouse food so you know what you can or cannot use. And it is understood if something is on a lower shelf or in a bag, it is not for general use. This guesthouse says yogurts, eggs, breads, etc available so I used that but it turned out to be someone else's food that was not labeled and was out in the middle of the refrigerator! This can easily be avoided with a label on the shelf for "guests".
The guesthouse was clean. The scenery around the place is beautiful. Check-in instructions were very clear. The self-service breakfast was great! Would definitely stay again!
I loved the horses and the view of the valley was gorgeous. Nice guesthouse with large well stocked kitchen. Only negative was sharing a bathroom with other guests.
Perhaps our favorite stay in Iceland. Well located, clean and appreciated the full kitchen.
Recycling bins would be nice as well as a trash bin in the room.
Very modern, clean, spacious, and private. Hot tub was great and free breakfast was a nice bonus. The property was surrounded with beautiful scenery and horses. Responsive and friendly hosts! Fabulous guest house!
