Home away from home

We had a very enjoyable stay at this quiet and comfortable guesthouse with courteous hosts and all the comforts of home. The location is also very good, being just a few miles north of Asbyrgi and Dettifoss. I would highly recommend it.

The facilities are very clean and cosy. With all the indispensable services for one night. However, no direct contact with the staff and unfortunately no hot water in the morning for showering.

Clean, basic hostel, but slept well.

No frills, but it seemed clean and comfortable. The bathrooms on one end are newly redone and and were clean and nice. It was hard to get a toilet/shower in the evening since a large group all arrived at the same time as we did. Many people waiting in line. We arrived later, so did not meet the owners, but they left a room key for us. We had use of a kitchen and storage in the refrigerator.

Allt hreint og fínt. Flest baðherbergi ný uppgerð. Gott netsamband. Sameiginlegt eldhús. Eina sem ég hef undan að kvarta er að það er ekki frystihólf í ískápnum.

아스비르기협곡근처 게스트하우스. 주방이나 침실 등등 분위기 짱입니다. 욕실도 넓고 좋아요. 헤어드라이기없는게 단점입니다.
