The house was very quaint. It is old, so it makes a lot of old house noises, and you can hear everyone else in the house talking and moving around. Other guests did not respect the “quiet hours” so it was difficult to sleep. The bed was older as well. Breakfast is make what you can find in the fridge and from what is on the counters.

This is a former Postmans Station House near Borgarnes. Lovingly renovated according to plans and photos. I was the only one there and I loved everything about it! The breakfast was self-serve and abundant. There is a Bonus and Netto in town if you want to make your own dinner. Be aware there is no microwave. My room included an enSuite, a table and chairs, and multiple beds (I only used the single twin). I spend three nights, which was enough to go to explore the area and take a few hikes. Loved staying here!

Unique and memorable stay in the old postman’s house. Each room had its own charm, and the host (who was super lovely during our check in) was nice enough to upgrade us to a room with a private bathroom. It’s only a short drive from the west peninsula and Borgarnes, and would highly recommend for anyone driving through the area.

Incredibly cute house and very nice property. Nice to have access to kitchen and dining area. It is however an incredibly old house, which means you can hear everything - made us very aware of any noise we made - talking, walking, etc. Very glad we stayed here as was a very unique property, just something to keep in mind as felt very aware of any sounds we made.

We chose this location for access to Snæfellsbær Peninsula and price. An old farmhouse converted so the rooms are small and the floors creak with age. The house has great character. Kitchen is well equipped with basics and the breakfast provided (help and make yourself) was varied and plentiful. Beds were comfortable. Great for a short stay. We stayed two nights.

Home away from home

The place was amazing. I have stayed in some old homes but this is now #1. The place exuded its charm from first entry right through the exploration of it's space. You didn't have to read "Welcome". the place spoke it everywhere you looked. The kitchen was stocked, the common space spoke.. come sit.. and there was a peacefulness that wrapped you when you explored outside. We were lucky to meet some great fellow travelers that stayed there as well. Don't pass it up!

5 stars would have been my score before dusk. That’s when the no-see-ums attacked. We had to seal ourselves into our room and spent hours killing them and losing blood. Did I mentioned that a closed up room is too hot to sleep in? Sorry Western Iceland that you now have an invasive species of blood sucking insect, but please get some screens for your windows.

Really liked this guest house. Of the many I stayed in while traveling Iceland, this house had the most character. It's located up a side road, so it feels very quiet, but the interesting town of Borgarnes is quite accessible. Well equipped kitchen and good simple breakfast supplies. I didn't meet any staff, but communication was fine online. A great find overall.

Avoid high priced hotels in Reykjavik

Very nice accommodations in a cute historic house. The host leaves a full refrigerator and countertop full of breakfast food that you can make. Bargain priced for Iceland. It suited our family of 3 quite nicely. Like all hostel type accommodations, some of the baths are shared and having earplugs is a good idea. For Iceland you should also have an eye blackout mask.

A place to rest

This was the perfect place for us to stay. We needed a room for a night after a long day's travel, and this was a quiet place with comfortable beds. I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow, and woke up refreshed after the sleep. There would have been self service breakfast, but we needed to get going early, so we didn't check it out.

Idyllic Storybook House

This was idyllic! It was like something out of a storybook. Warm Icelandic sweaters to wear welcomed us along with slippers. There was lots of good food provided too. The house is historical, charming and like stepping back in time. My son and I absolutely loved it!
