Internal is neat and moden. Alternative phone number and emails are posted and there is a working landlines phone in the entrance area, no need to worry not getting the room code . But it would be nice to get the room access code one day in advance. I got mt room code emails around 12pm of arrival day.

I had a horrible experience with this place. We arrived late to the guesthouse due to some trouble on our way and couldn’t get in as there was no key left. There was no pin left to get the key. When we tried to contact on the given phone number, there was no response. We were left outside on the street in the extreme cold weather with nowhere to go. With great difficulty got another hotel for the overnight stay. We contacted the reception of the guesthouse the next day and she was very rude and blunt with no consideration to our ordeal.

They do not have a front desk and were supposed to send the checkin details via email, which did not happen and when we tried calling the phone number provided no one picked up. Stay away from this property, its not for families and their customer service is non existent to say the least

The property owners did not respond to calls for the code to get into the rooms.,either for me or two others. The entrance smelled like the bathrooms that opened into it. Do not recommend.

I never stayed in the room as I never had the actual code to enter the room. I slept in my car. I paid them about $150 USD. They have not responded to any of my calls or other contacts. I want a full refund and if you could remove them from your site. This is theft.

The check in was not easy, no email with door code was received, and on site staff didn’t know how to help. Very frustrating. I found someone who spoke Icelandic to help me sort through my problem, and finally succeeded in getting a code. Kitchen was hectic and had broken can openers and few pot varieties.

Although the room is smaill, quite typical in Iceland, it was very clean. It comes with a wash basin. The shared bathroom is closed to the room. You are allowed to cook in the kitchen. The property itself is ideally situated in a pleasant surrounding - by the river. Parking was not a problem at all.
