We chose this location for access to Snæfellsbær Peninsula and price. An old farmhouse converted so the rooms are small and the floors creak with age. The house has great character. Kitchen is well equipped with basics and the breakfast provided (help and make yourself) was varied and plentiful. Beds were comfortable. Great for a short stay. We stayed two nights.

This 1898 home has been remodeled to incorporate sinks in each room. Outstanding food available for self serve. Period furniture except for the great beds! Would happily stay again!

Home away from home
The place was amazing. I have stayed in some old homes but this is now #1. The place exuded its charm from first entry right through the exploration of it's space. You didn't have to read "Welcome". the place spoke it everywhere you looked. The kitchen was stocked, the common space spoke.. come sit.. and there was a peacefulness that wrapped you when you explored outside. We were lucky to meet some great fellow travelers that stayed there as well. Don't pass it up!

5 stars would have been my score before dusk. That’s when the no-see-ums attacked. We had to seal ourselves into our room and spent hours killing them and losing blood. Did I mentioned that a closed up room is too hot to sleep in? Sorry Western Iceland that you now have an invasive species of blood sucking insect, but please get some screens for your windows.

Really liked this guest house. Of the many I stayed in while traveling Iceland, this house had the most character. It's located up a side road, so it feels very quiet, but the interesting town of Borgarnes is quite accessible. Well equipped kitchen and good simple breakfast supplies. I didn't meet any staff, but communication was fine online. A great find overall.

Avoid high priced hotels in Reykjavik
Very nice accommodations in a cute historic house. The host leaves a full refrigerator and countertop full of breakfast food that you can make. Bargain priced for Iceland. It suited our family of 3 quite nicely. Like all hostel type accommodations, some of the baths are shared and having earplugs is a good idea. For Iceland you should also have an eye blackout mask.

A place to rest
This was the perfect place for us to stay. We needed a room for a night after a long day's travel, and this was a quiet place with comfortable beds. I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow, and woke up refreshed after the sleep. There would have been self service breakfast, but we needed to get going early, so we didn't check it out.

Idyllic Storybook House
This was idyllic! It was like something out of a storybook. Warm Icelandic sweaters to wear welcomed us along with slippers. There was lots of good food provided too. The house is historical, charming and like stepping back in time. My son and I absolutely loved it!

Read this before booking: this property isn’t for everyone. It’s an antique house which you may find interesting or you may dislike. The floor outside our bedroom wasn’t solid although I didn’t look under the rug covering it. Our bedroom was small. If you have mobility issues, request a room downstairs. Even young couple had trouble getting their luggage up the steep stairs. Look at the pictures of the outside of the house before trying to find it. There’s a sign for it by the main highway but no signs by the driveway or on the house itself. The house is unlocked and you walk in to find a note for you. It was unnerving for us just to walk in a house where we weren’t sure we were in the right location. On the positive side, there’s a common kitchen and sitting room. The owner leaves food and you are welcome to make your own breakfast. Make sure to mark your food with your room name. We didn’t understand and our dessert became common food. Obviously from reviews, we are in the minority, but it wasn’t for us.

Lovely old house full of character. Feels like you are way out in the country, but close to Borgarnes. Nice touches, like Lopi sweaters to wear if you are cold. Definitely recommend.

Adorable guest house; we had a lower room with full bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked & clean; the living room was cozy. There are no shoes in the house, & they had slippers to borrow, as well as warm Icelandic sweaters to borrow.

Excellent place. Calm and quiet. The place looks beautiful. The breakfast is excellent. The owner fills up the fridge and you make what you want. My best stay in Iceland. Would have loved to be there longer.

房子內部為木製2層樓,走路難免會有聲響。入住時會將鑰匙掛在牆上,找尋對應的房間名字。房間很幸運被安排在1樓,不用拖著的行李上下樓真是太好了。早餐提供自助式吐司果醬蛋起司火腿果汁,很簡單卻也很豐盛,自己用完再將盤子杯子清洗乾淨放回。

Liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft
Sehr sehr gut! Niedliche Zimmer. Bad klein und sauber. Das Frühstück ist Self Service und man kann sich bedienen. Gut durchdacht ist auch, dass man die Schuhe am Eingang auszieht und bei Bedarf Hausschuhe leihen kann. Die Lage des Hauses ist recht einsam, aber perfekt für Ausflüge auf die Halbinsel Snæfellsnes und zum Glymur. Danke, Anna. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Rustige omgeving. Je wordt verrast als je binnenstapt in de woning. Wat een gezelligheid! De eigenaresse Anna is niet aanwezig, maar toch is er een warm onthaal. De koelkast staat vol voor een goed ontbijt! En we hebben er heerlijk geslapen.
