Clean and lovely room. Very comfortable. Had a private bathroom. Kitchen area had everything you could need but you must bring food as you are a ways from town. Great stay.

Enjoyable stay out of town
Out of town, but the restaraunt is great for a meal & the breakfast quite satisfying. You can walk around the cemetery & there is a little cute church there as well.

Nice place in the countryside
The guest house is by the lake and the view is really nice! The kitchen and bathroom is shared and well equipped, there are 2 washroom in the floor, one large and one small, the room is a little bit small, it is even smaller than the larger bath room but warm and cozy, it is okay for a good night's sleep and rest for another long drive next day.

Room, bathroom, and shared areas (kitchen, living space) very clean. Check in was easy, somehow check in person knew when we arrived and met us at the outside door. However, the description incorrectly indicated breakfast was available, and there are no places nearby to get breakfast.

This place was a perfect place to stay "off the beaten path" along our road trip. Beautiful views of the water! The breakfast was good and convenient, as it is about a 15-20 min drive to any restaurants/markets. Nearest town (Blonduos) has a great restaurant in town (Teni's) that serves Ethiopian food!

A nice quest house that was bit off the beaten track. It was nice and clean and quiet. I had thought breakfast was included but it was not. We had food with us so it wasn't a big deal. The shared kitchen was very nice.

peaceful lake
Beautiful location on a quiet lake with horses nearby (and sheep farther away). Room and bathroom were spartan and clean. Large kitchen and supplies to prepare your own meals (which you may want to do since this is fairly isolated).

It’s by a small lake, very quiet, with beautiful lake views. Our group of 8 people shared kitchen and dinning area among ourselves. Each room has own bathroom. Breakfast is provided with no charge. Check in and out are very easy. Thanks for a very nice stay.

The guesthouse was lovely, well laid out with the shared kitchen, dinning area and entertainment area. Heaps of space, rooms are clean and very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and shared areas!
There is a huge area on the accommodation location to explore to see sheep and Icelandic horses next to a lake! Me and my husband had a good afternoon doing that once we settled into our rooms. Would recommend to others 👍

This property is worth the money for what you get. Room was cozy and clean and the water pressure in the bathroom was great. The location was perfect for where we needed to get and the view was stunning.

What a lovely guesthouse! Right on the lake, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and decent bathrooms, a kitchen for cooking or warming food, comfy sofas in the lounge area and a great breakfast. The owner was very friendly on check in and at breakfast. 5 out of 5!
