We absolutely loved the location and the manager was extra nice. However, the cabin was not very clean and there was mold in every corner of the cabin. The sheets and towels were clean!

The owner was very nice, he showed me around the house on check-in. The house is a lovely renovated farmhouse that really gave the “get away cottage” vibes. Be ready to drive ~30 minutes on a dirt road to get there, but don’t be afraid, my 2 wheel drive compact car did it just fine, the road is in good condition. There’s a nice little trail going to the sea very nearby.

Getting there was a bit rough , not crazy difficult but it’s gravel road. The view is awesome. The owner has provided a full kitchen and washing machine etc.

We had the cabin and it was AMAZING! Just a cozy, wood cabin vibe. Three rooms so lots of options for our group (I think there were 8 beds total). The kitchen space was a bit small but had everything we needed. The host who greeted us was the best. We are not sure his name, but serious appreciation to him. The property is a working farm close to a beach and the Elephant Rock formation. 10/10 would recommend!

Hostel that is better than many guesthouses

Hostel that is better than many guesthouse with nice location with panaromic view and short distance to Hvitserkur. My daughter love this place the most compared to oth guesthouses and hotels we stayed. Got a huge room that can sleep 5 for 3 of us with nice view to the ocean. There are 3 levels in total for this property with shared kitchen equipped with freezer and fridge, stove and oven at both kitchens. The lower level kitchen also has washing machine and dryer that can be used for frer compared to other guesthou]ses that I hv been to that charged ISK4,500 for the laundry service. Laundromat will cost about IDK3,000. The staff at the reception is very friendly and helpful to show us to the property and our room.

Staff on check in was awesome! Great to have a full kitchen! The washing machine did the job great, clothes dryer was... weirdly bad. Clothes were in it for about 2 hrs and still wet. Did some investigative googling, and turns out it was a heat pump operated dryer. And they typically take over 4 hrs to dry. We ended up hanging our clothes out on the line outside and they were done in no time - we probably should have done that from the get-go.

Loved staying here. Very peaceful and quiet with great walking paths around it. It is a bit of a drive off the highway but you are rewarded at the end for sure!

Walls are so thin I could hear people cooking in the kitchen and people laughing doors away from me at midnight. Also off of a road that is not maintained.

It was a kind of old building and the interior was outdated as well. We couldn’t use the shades at the window as they were broken - as it never gets dark in summer, it was very unpleasant. It was very clean though but nevertheless, I had superior stays in Iceland for that price, especially as you had to make and strip your own bed. Owner, however, was very friendly.

Cottages were amazing for our family. Kitchen was equipped with all the required utensils. We went with cottage because we wanted the private bathrooms. There were 8 beds in the cottage, they did give 4 bed sheets. We had to put them on whatever beds we choose to sleep on. :) Unfortunately there was no shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. We didn't get any notification that it won't be there. This place was amazing and surrounded with lambs, horses and birds. would recommend to any one.
