Pros:

Location and surroundings of the property were very nice. Host communication and friendliness of the staff was excellent. Interesting artworks and a nice off grid feeling to the place. Very clean, with a well cared for shared bathroom.

Cons:

We were in the smallest of the shared rooms. I thought it was quite cramped. Not enough space for two people and their suitcase to fit comfortably. I’m not particularly big at 148lbs, and I thought the single bed was too narrow.

nice stop on the long drive.
Pros:

Great place to stay - greatly appreciated the helpful staff and wonderful meals. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean. Did not sleep well unfortunately as the blinds and windows fluttered if left open at night to get some air in the room.

Cons:

no ventilation without having to open the window which fluttered and kept us awake.

This is a perfect, off-the-beaten path guesthouse for some calm and relaxation on an Icelandic vacation. It's worth
Pros:

Everything! It was perfect.

Cons:

We had some inconsiderate neighbors that came in late and were slamming/opening their door/cooking food all through the night. They also did not clean up after themselves after using the shared kitchen facilities, which was irritating, but none of that was the fault of the staff or guesthouse. Otherwise we loved our stay!
