We stayed for one night during our Ring road trip. It was a convenient location and we had a good night sleep in the guesthouse. The only downside is the showers are extremely small and difficult for an adult to fit into. But the beds were comfortable and the common room upstairs was well equipped, so no major complaints for the price.

Basic clean room with small en-suite bathroom. Large communal lounge/rec-room/kitchen area with refrigerator, kettle, a couple of hotplates and a microwave. TV. Awesome views of the glacier. An easy 30 minute drive to Vik. There are a couple of cafes nearby but we didn’t investigate those, just saw the signs. The reason I said the staff is terrible is that there aren’t any. You have to call ahead for the room number and lockbox code. Nobody answered so if there had not been a cleaner onsite who helped us to get in touch with the property manager we would not have been able to get into our rooms!!!

This guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay not far from Vik. The beds were comfortable and the shared amenities were nice. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the bathroom. It didn't seem to be completely cleaned between people's visits...

Very basic accomodations. Clean and safe. But having a few hooks to hang your coats and some shelves to place small things would be a big improvement over having to put EVERYTHING on the floor. Okay, there were 2 window ledges....

In a convenient area (near skogafoss waterfall and public pool) and staff were helpful. Instructions to the building could have been clearer. We received a code day of on the Expedia app that I am still unsure what it was even for. We ended up wandering around the property trying the code to the Lambafell Hotel and the pods.

This guesthouse was good location. However, our room smelled a bit strange (like bad cleaning products or urine?) and the other guests were loud (and their troubles opening their doors was amplified in the hallway). Bed was comfortable. We did see northern lights over the volcano that night, sitting in the driveway.

The room in the guesthouse was clean and modern, but small - the shower was barely wide enough to stand in (I am an average size female). It would have helped immensely if there were hooks on the walls in the bathroom and/or in the sleeping area, as there was nowhere to hang things such as clothing or wet towels. However, the surroundings are very quiet and peaceful, and for one night it was fine.

For young fit people with small budget only

The place was super basic and with no space at all. One person could hardly fit into the shower (and we are fit people - like the shower width is around 50cms). Matresses were very bad I woke up with huge backache. Except that the location and the view from the windows were astonishing!

Cute area snuggled in a valley. Northern lights danced behind the mountain. Check in was very easy. Room was simple and efficient. Unfortunately a strong sewer smell was the first thing you notice as you walk in. If you kept the bathroom door closed in the bedroom the smell lightened almost unnoticable.

This is a really nice property; clean and well equipped. My only complaint was it was boiling hot when we arrived. It was a warm day already (perhaps unusual for Iceland?) but the little house was sweltering and it was difficult to get a cross breeze as only 2 small windows could be opened. It was uncomfortably hot for about 3 hours (we even propped open the door to try to get the hot air out). Except for the heat, I was happy with this accommodation. Great location.

There were folks checking into the property at all hours, and the noise made it impossible to sleep. Some sound proofing in the halls could help with this, as the empty hallways amplified voices and the doors being unlocked/slammed shut. Our shower head was broken as well. The check in was easy and someone came to tidy and clean during the day.

Room very small very opening 2 bags of luggage except on beds or blocking the door. Good price but very far from Vik to drive to in the dark with extreme wind on the roads. Had to call staff (who came straight away) to close the window properly but wind still blew hard and loudly on the place all night with electrical outage in the morning (1 hr before check out). Didn’t affect most guests who were already gone. Still Good value for the price as most accommodation is much more expensive.

Stayed for 2 nights end of August. Building interior seemed recently updated, bright lights. The common room in attic was clean with a kitchen that has refrigerator, microwave, sink, stove, cooking ware & utensils. We had to cook simple meals since there is no restaurant nearby. Ample sitting space. There’s TV, an arcade game & chess game. The stairs going up was very steep though so hold onto the railing:-) But door to the room keeps getting stuck, doesn’t seem to lineup properly with door frame. Room was a bit small for 3 people (1 full bed & 1 twin bed). Not much space for luggage, so we left most of stuff in the car which we parked right in front the building. The plug-in electric heater in the room kept us warm through the night even with the howling wind. The showerhead holder was broken, had to hold it, but still nice to have a hot shower after a full day of adventures. Was surprised that staff actually came to fix the bed & change towels while we were out. Overall, the guesthouse served our purpose. By the way, the thermal bath is quite a hike, about a mile up with no signs along the trail.

Not worth the risk

Do not book this place if you are worried you will not access your room. The service is non-existent as there is no one there to help, and you can’t reach through the phone. We never received a PIN code for our room, and had just luck when getting it, on our fifth attempt to call. The lady hung up mid-conversation and refused to send us the code on email. We drove 45 min from Selfoss not knowing if we could get in to our room. The room is ok and clean but small. Location is beautiful, and you can reach an “outside pool” in the mountain side just a 45 walk from the premises. But really not worth to take this risk, considering the price (!). Pay 50 more euros and stay in a hotel, or do it cheaper with a camping van or tent. We payed 300 euros for one night here, not worth it in my opinion.

Walk inside to get landline, door was unlocked. IF you can check in, all is well. Attempted to stay at starlight camping pods owned by same property 2 days later and that did not go well. Location is lovely, close to Seljavallalaug swimming pool. Cute brindled cows next door. However, little to no cell phone service in this area. On 17th landline worked; successfully got code for rooms at guesthouse. By message, codes were not sent til the 18th aka the day of check-out, so that didn’t help. That was unhelpful but innocuous at first. Then they sent that picture to expedia as "proof" of check-in codes at Starlight Camping Pods for the 19th… which were never sent nor did the landline work nor did the phone get answered when we finally gave up and drove out until an area of cell service coverage. thank god we found another place to stay (drove all the way to the city) instead of trying and waiting all night because they were never sent. no refund. Because non refundable, I would understand if WE had canceled. But I asked for money back because we were literally unable to check in and they literally left us in the cold. They said no. all in all I think it would have been lovely if you are able to check in. But I can’t say that is reliable.
