Had Twin beds but was comfortable. Management is incredibly nice and accommodating, even when we showed up 2 hrs after check in ended. Then gave me great tips on future viewing points for our trip.

Clean, tidy and basic.
It’s our first time staying in a guesthouse with shared bathrooms. I didn’t prefer sharing a bathroom / waiting on others. The rooms were clean but basic. The farmland the property was on was lovely. The host was a nice young man. Just not our preferred type of place to stay.

This is a very nice place to stay. It’s about 35mins from decent food options. But it’s a very clean and safe place to stay.

It's in a great area to see the great nature of Iceland's south coast and glacier. The staff was very helpful and kind. We met so many great other travelers from all over the world who were also driving Iceland's ring. The room
was very clean, comfortable and quiet. Good beds.

A great location for visiting the national park area. Very quiet and the bathrooms were terrific - lovely hot showers, just what’s needed after a long drive. A big thank you to the staff at the guest house who very kindly got up early to make us breakfast before we headed off at 7:30 for a days hiking

To avoid if you can find another option
Really too expensive for what it is: it took time to check our booking upon arrival, unfriendly reception, the room is very simple, curtains do not avoid outside light, strange rules,...
