"Nice place. A bit on the older side. Breakfast and food, not to my liking. Setup as a shared communal event, which some may like some not. You share a table with random people. Food was average."
"Out of all the places I stayed during my 10-day trip, this was by far the one I was most satisfied with. The room was clean and tidy, with no unpleasant odors, and the location was great — very convenient for shopping. I had an excellent stay and would highly recommend this place."
"Loved this Guesthouse. Owner was super friendly and breakfast was wonderful. The room was modern and clean and very comfortable. Loved the bathroom also. Would stay here again!"
"The hostel is good. The rooms are equipped with the essentials and are mostly clean. The common areas could have been cleaner though. The kitchen is not so well equipped. The staff were very friendly and helped immediately with any problems. I would recommend the hostel for a short stay."

"Lovely rural property, road is a little rough getting there, but very peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was perfect with an assortment of breads, fruit, delicious lattes, juices… The woman who was preparing breakfast was kind and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!"
"Best ever farm stay and experience. Outstanding staff, food and chef that are well worth the cost. Unexpectedly good dormitory sleeping. Great hot showers are everywhere. Many activities that are well guided and some that are totally sublime that you can do on your own which cost nothing extra. Great Canyonside exploring and waterfalls to chase. Personal transportation to and from the Egilsstadirr airport was a great experience in itself.
Will return because the place is magical."
"Self-check in was easy and allowed for flexible arrival time. The room was plenty sufficient for my husband and me in the big bed and 2 sons (ages 17 and 12) in the bunk beds. The two restroom facilities downstairs were clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was well-stocked, and we appreciated the instant coffee. The area around the hotel felt safe and was near a fuel station and restaurants."
