Easy to park, easy to check out. Front desk staff was super helpful as we arrived past their usual hours. She took the time to call me and make sure I had received the information for our independent check-in process. Beautiful property with a small garden and fresh breakfast.

We had a lovely stay at the guesthouse starting with a very nice dinner at their restaurant. Our room was spacious with beds spread out in different areas. Our deck overlooked the goats and mountains. It is a beautiful place!

We had a relaxing and pleasant stay here. The rooms were comfortable and of decent size to place our luggage. I like the spacious and cosy sitting area with kitchenette. Breakfast was good and the breakfast area was nice. We took a little walk around the area and it is so peaceful. We would be happy to stay here a few days if visiting the area longer in future.

This was a great stay. This property was about 10 miles from the black sand beach and a few more miles from Vik. It is located at the base of a big mountain/glacier and is just about a mile off the main highway. The main building was very nice and the check-in process was quick and easy. The staff was very nice. Our room was for four people and had a private bathroom and shower. Most of the other rooms had shared bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The breakfast was buffet-style and was very good with a variety of sliced meats, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, breads, coffee, and tea. The property was very quiet and had 5 cute goats near the guest building.

The room was comfortable and clean. The location of the guesthouse was perfect as a halfway point for my travels. Located close enough to the main road for convenience but still private and quiet.

Very cute rooms with everything we needed. Comfortable, quiet, and warm place to sleep. There were sustained 50mph winds outside when we were there, but inside you could not tell. No drafts or creaking windows. Blackout curtains worked well (essential for summer). Hearty breakfast was a nice bonus. Staff gave helpful guidance on where to watch out for bad weather while driving. Location is perfect place to stay near the black sand beaches. We were glad we did not stay any further towards Vik because a few minutes past this place is a big hill that we would not have wanted to drive over in extreme weather.

Perfectly located for us being close the Skogar area hiking that we explored. Especially pleased that there was a restaurant for dining and did not have to go searching for any after a long day of hiking. Accommodations and amenities were top notch.
