Really nice hotel situated in a quiet place in the South East of Iceland close to the Jökulsárlón ice lake and diamond beach and the mulagljufur canyon. Great choice of food for breakfast, coffee always available at the entrance. Bedroom clean and spacious with TV.

An authentic Icelandic experience. I saw the Aurora Borealis in front of the house. The host is a very kind lady. You must also see the attic of the house where you can drink your morning coffee. A welcoming house with a very good vibe.

Absolutely stunning location, I can’t emphasise this enough. We were lucky enough to experience some of the aurora borealis just a short drive from the guesthouse. The rooms are very clean and warm in the winter, and the breakfast included in the price is a real plus and, from our experience, this is quite rare in Iceland. Probably the most memorable accommodation from our whole trip.

Super cozy and lovely place. Everything was exactly as described, and it was warm enough even in the extremely cold weather. The host was incredibly responsive and quick to assist whenever we needed help. Most importantly, the breakfast buffet was good(very filling and delicious). Additionally, there is a wide open plain right next to the house, making it an ideal spot to watch the northern lights at night. We saw the aurora for the first time here! 💫

A really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new. The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland. The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.

We love the place. It is in the middle of no where. This farm stay is surrounded by nature. There is a track that we can walk up the hill and along the creek. There is one hotel staff (a lovely dog) always wanting to walk with us. Breakfast is superb.
