Categories

Cleanliness
8.8
Multiple reviews explicitly praise the cleanliness and upkeep of the property (e.g. 'propreté de l'établissement', 'مكان נקי ויפה', 'modern gepflegt und sauber'), so cleanliness is rated above average despite isolated concerns about restaurant hygiene reported separately.
Service
9.2
Service is consistently mentioned positively across reviews ('friendly staff', 'very pleasant receptionist', 'Personnel sympathique', 'Staff lovely and very friendly'), justifying a high score.
Location
9.6
Location is a major strength in many reviews: scenic fjord setting, small fishing village charm, central position and ambience (tunnel approach), so location scores very highly.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms are frequently described as spacious, comfortable and modern, but there are repeated remarks about hard pillows, some old furniture, noisy doors and unrenovated bathrooms — overall slightly above average.
Amenities
7.8
Amenities are mixed: attached restaurant and good breakfast praised, but limits noted (shared bathrooms for some rooms, TV room relocated to restaurant, pricey washing machine, limited vegetarian options), leading to a modest score.
Value for Money
8.7
Several guests mention good value for money and reasonable restaurant prices for Iceland; one comment mentions it felt 'actually too expensive' but generally value is positive.
Food and Beverage
6.5
Food gets conflicting feedback: many praise the breakfast and the fish-specialty restaurant as good and affordable, but there is a serious negative report of suspected foodborne illness and other complaints (limited vegetarian options, noisy dining area), so this category is downgraded.
Overall Experience
9.2
Overall impressions are very positive: relaxing, cosy, friendly staff, great location and good breakfast/restaurants nearby. Minor negatives (shared bathrooms, occasional noise, pillow comfort) do not dominate the overall experience.

Gemütliche Unterkunft in einem kleinen Fischerort
Pros:

Unser Zimmer war groß und sauber, mit eigenem Bad. Es gab im Flur davor eine kleine Ecke, wo man sich Tee und Kaffee zubereiten konnte. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Da wir in der Nebensaison hier waren, war es sehr ruhig und wir haben gut geschlafen.

Gute Unterkunft mit großem Zimmer
Pros:

Schönes, großes Zimmer in guter Lage. Das dazugehörige Restaurant/Café liegt auf der anderen Straßenseite. Das Continental Frühstück war okay, aber das Abendessen wirklich sehr gut und zu angenehmen Preisen. Öffentliche Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden.

Cons:

Im Bad lagen in den Ecken noch einige Haare von den Vorgängern

Nice guesthouse with great staff!
Pros:

Very nice guesthouse. I made a mistake while booking and arrived to find that I booked a room with a shared bathroom. Luckily they did have another with an attached bathroom above the cafe/bar. It was also more convenient to the cafe. There is street parking but we didn't have any problems finding a close spot. We stayed 2 nights and went hiking in the Hornstrandir nature park so it was convenient to the docks. Breakfast was included but it started too late for the hike. They did accommodate us and let us come to the cafe early (staff came early) for a light breakfast. It was much appreciated. We had dinner the first night at the cafe and it was excellent and planned to eat there the second night but came too late. Make sure you check the restaurant hours which we did not. It closed much earlier than we thought. The bar was open so we assumed the cafe was as well. Not their fault. Room was comfortable and the staff was very friendly.

Cons:

nothing, it was perfect!

Bed bugs bit mörg og mikill kláði
Pros:

Herbergið

Cons:

Bed bugs beit mig um nottina handleggi og fætur. Ekki nokkur leið að na i neinn til að lata vita af þessu svo hægt væri að sótthreinsa herbergið

Pros:

Čistota pokoje i sdílené koupelny, snídaně v ceně s dostatečným výběrem, teplo v pokoji a horká voda, malé umyvadlo na pokoji, dobře fungující WiFi, klid v okolí.

Cons:

Ubytování se nebylo možné v době checkinu dovolat, nikdo nezvedal telefon, neodpovídal na zprávy ani nezavolal zpět!
Na 5 pokojů jen jedna koupelna spojená s WC, takže bylo neustále obsazeno!
U snídaně nebyly suroviny včas doplňované, tvořily se dlouhé fronty na bufet, problém s logistikou nabírání, vyloženě nedobré kafe v termosce s laxní odezvou personálu.
Parkovaní na ulici ala najdi si své místo sám.

Pros:

Camera nuova, molto pulita e confortevole. Letto molto comodo, stanza silenziosa

Cons:

Da migliorare la gestione della colazione. Abbiamo dovuto fare un bel po' di fila per accedere al buffet, potrebbero essere forse ripensati gli spazi per garantire che in più persone possano accedere contemporaneamente
