We stayed here for two nights so that we could do a glacier and ice cave hike, and a glacier lagoon boat trip at Jokulsarlon. The guesthouse was in an amazing setting close to the mountains. The cabins were clean and very comfortable. The included continental breakfast was excellent. It would have been nice if they'd offered a dinner option too, but the owner was able to recommend the restaurant at the nearby Hotel Smyrlabjorg. We ate there both nights and the food was amazing. We were also lucky enough to see the northern lights both nights right from the porch outside our cabin. I would definitely recommend staying here if your are visiting the Jokulsarlon lagoon or doing the ring road.

Hot water was limited for showers. No restaurants close by. Breakfast was available through hotel but no dinner options. Beautiful setting underneath waterfall.

Our stay was enjoyable. We stayed in double room with private bathroom which was clean, comfortable, and a nice size. The breakfast each morning was very nice. The location is great especially if you like peace and quiet. Conveniently located and close to both Höfn and Jokulsarlon.

Really lovely cabins. Locking the door was a bit tricky. Delicious breakfast buffet. There's a trail to one of the glaciers, so plan enough time to do the 8km hike!

We stayed here for a night during our ring road journey and everything was perfect! The guesthouse is located on a cozy farm in a beautiful area. The room and accommodations were clean, comfortable, and plentiful. The staff was very friendly (and there was even an adorable farm dog). Our room was in the main house with a shared bathroom and we had no issues whatsoever. The bathroom was clean and accessible and we didn't have to wait to use the shower or anything. The included breakfast was really lovely and got us off to a great start the next morning on our way out. Would happily recommend this guesthouse to anybody passing through on their Iceland adventure!

Beautiful 8kms hiking trail just behind the guesthouse that guides you to the glacier above the cliff and along the river. Clean and cosy small cabin in a very calm area.

After a long day, we had planned on dinner at the Guesthouse. They DO NOT have a restaurant even though the website states they do. Host told us to drive 30 minutes (each way) to Hofn.

My family visited in June, 2024. Expedia bungled our reservation, but the proprietor accommodated us anyway (and even tried to find us another house in the area for additional nights). We stayed in the family cabin that was clean and comfortable. We would definitely return.
