Had to carry heavy suitcases up and down two flights of stairs. Shared bathrooms weren’t as much of a nuisance as expected. Very clean guesthouse and surprisingly quiet. The best Aurora show of our trip was here. Great breakfast!

Shared bathrooms were dirty due to other guests. There should be a sign indicating the toilet seat should be lifted prior to urinating! Nice facilities, good and friendly staff, lack of breakfast options

The perfect pitstop

Lovely warm welcome on arrival. Quickly checked in and offered a complementary coffee (we also bought a delicious homemade cookie). Left a bag of laundry with reception which was ready before 8am the next day. The walk around the grounds is beautiful. The breakfast is a nice variation from the typical, we really enjoyed it. Thanks to all the staff.

It is very convenient that there was a hand wash inside the rooms and that the showers were separated from the toilets, it made the experience far more confortable. My friends and I recommend.

Free breakfast was awesome and the 1000isk packed lunch was also a great option. Clean and tidy place. Showers and bathrooms were in individual cubicles so very private.

Son muy pocos baños para tantas personas, siempre estaban sucios, con toallas en el piso, el sanitarios con desechos humanos y papel, siendo tan pocos baños deberían de estarlos limpiando constantemente. El parqueo también es pequeño para tanta gente y nos tocó parquear muy lejos porque estaba muy lleno. El desayuno está bien, tienen varias opciones. El staff de recepción fue amable.

Great stay! There was a lovely walking trail along the grounds and each room was very clean and spacious. I liked that each room had its own sink, and single bathrooms and showers were very close by. Breakfast was fantastic. Would stay again!

Amazing property, very clean and feels like a 4 star hotel rather than a guest house. They bake their own home made bread for breakfast. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would :)
