Overall the food was wonderful and would definitely come back if given the opportunity. The 2 gentleman that help with check in and check out service made my stay fell like I was home. Definitely recommend checking this place out."

Kiðagil Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Great guest house! The room was quiet with a spacious private bathroom. Towels and sheets were clean, shampoo and conditioner were included, and it was a nice quiet area. Room was overall great and have no complaints there! Dinner was also delicious! Got the burger and it tasted just like back home. Fries were also seasoned nicely! Staff was kind and friendly and treated us nicely! Also since the place is pretty remote I was very luckily able to see the northern lights! Had to drive about 400 meters off the road because of lights in the area but I could see them from outside my bedroom window! Definite highlight of my trip. Only possible complaints could be that there were a lot of flies and gnats in the morning but I only dealt with them during check-out and that it's a 20KM drive on gravel road to get to the place but those weren't that bad. I would definitely go back again if given the chance!"

Overall, we had a very comfortable and pleasant stay here."
