Friendly and helpful staff. Property is quite wheelchair accessible although there is a step to enter and a lip at the doorway. They do have a portable ramp to get inside. The bathroom is accessible - just ask for a shower chair if you are a wheelchair user. Make sure you ask for a larger room as the regular rooms are small and have two twin beds with a narrow aisle between them.

Would definitely recommend! They have all of the amenities you need, plus everything you may have not realized you needed. The room was clean, the hot tub was great to soak in after a day of exploring. We really enjoyed our two nights at this property!

I wish I could have stayed more nights at South Central Guesthouse. This was easily one of the best guesthouses we stayed at during our trip to Iceland. The hosts were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and were always happy to help whenever we needed anything. Their hospitality made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The guesthouse was clean, comfortable, and had a warm, relaxing atmosphere that made it hard to leave. It was one of those places that genuinely made our trip even more enjoyable. If I visit Iceland again in the future, I will definitely stay here again without hesitation. A big thank you to the hosts for making our experience so memorable. I highly recommend South Central Guesthouse to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

What an excellent place to stay — warm, spacious, cosy, clean, and well equipped! We enjoyed the guesthouse very much. The elderly lady who welcomed us was extremely kind and courteous. Our only regret is that we stayed for just one night. We wish the owner all the best and 1000% recommend this place! Thanks a lot!

This place was just what i needed to escape the crowds. Clean, quiet, great floor plan, plenty of shared space. Fully stocked kitchen had oil and spices, coffee and tea. Cute horses live next door. Hot tub was sublime. The bed was super comfy, hot shower. I cannot reccommend enough!!

Good location for the golden circle, relatively close to Selfoss, guesthouse clean and comfortable, good to be able to have use of a kitchen. Would stay again Only downsides was kitchen was missing oven trays and the kettle was temperamental as to whether it worked. Bed linens were also quite thin and seemed quite old

The host is a fantastic person. We were kind of lost, instead of the guesthouse we were at the apartments and fortunately we met the host at the apartments. She took us to the guesthouse - driving alongside us, provided us with food items and her daughter-in-law provided with list of place to see. Rooms were great. Best part was the cleanliness. We were provided with house slippers. There were 2 dogs that were friendly and greeted the visitors..fantastic and loved it a lot. Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay here! It was clean, had comfortable beds (although very lumpy pillows), spacious bathrooms and communal areas, great kitchen amenities, and was in such a peaceful setting! There was also a hot tub to use, which was perfect after a day of hiking! The only downside is that we had noisy people in the room beside us, and the walls weren’t too soundproof, but overall this was minor considering all of the positives of this stay!

I loved my stay here. The property was spacious, private, and clean, also very quiet during my stay. Self check in was simple as well. I wish I was staying at this place longer and would definitely recommend it to other travellers. I had a private two single beds room, this worked very well for myself as a solo traveller this trip!
