The small guesthouse was great. It’s quiet, safe, and in a location close to the places we wanted to explore in Iceland. The best thing about this place is the host, he was very welcoming, friendly and serves an amazing breakfast to start off our day. Highly recommend this place! Thank you so much!

Breakfast and staff was amazing. Properly is beautiful, clean and peaceful. Only negative is WiFi didn’t work in my downstairs bedroom and the room got pretty warm during the night. But would stay again if ever in the area. 😊👍

The Hela cabin was a wonderful stay for 3 people, it was charming and cozy. There were also horses living on the other side of the fence, we had a joy feeding and petting them! The location was also a plus, far enough from town to enjoy the stars and country atmosphere, but near enough for a short drive for meals and groceries (~10 mins).
