Loved this guest house! It was so cute! We were initially a little worried about the shared bathroom but we never had any issues or ever had to wait for a bathroom to be open. The breakfast that is included was amazing and the staff was so nice. Highly recommend!

We loved staying here. Paulina and Tomic were very friendly and had helpful tips for traveling around Iceland (how to check road and weather conditions). The lamb dinner was outstanding! And the breakfast had many different dishes to choose from. Everything was very clean and the kitchen in the guest house was well stocked. It’s about 20+ minutes west of Vik. We would stay here again.

Breakfast menu was very good. Good selection and fresh food. Parking was right next to our room. Very affordable in a land where everything seems expensive.Rooms on the small side, but clean and comfortable, which is what we wanted and paid for. Highly recommended.
