The room was clean and cozy; we were in room 13 and the view from the front porch was amazing. We had never stayed in a Guesthouse and were a little unsure what to expect, but would absolutely stay here again. It was nicely located between the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Hali and Hofn. We were able to do our excursions easily and see reindeer and the northern lights.

Easy check in, clean room, parking right in front of cottage, great breakfast. We loved this guesthouse for a variety of reasons. There is a great hiking trail from the guesthouse, their dog 'Saga' was super fun and friendly and we saw the aurora from right outside our door. This is a place I would definitely recommend and look forward to staying here again.
