Small, but nice rooms (we got one with our own bathroom even though we just reserved one with shared), friendly people and decent food (although a bit expensive). Great view on Hekla and Eyafjallajökull. The owner also gave nice tips for our trip the next day.

it's clean, cozy, and for a guesthouse the kitchen and bathrooms are very good. it's a great location for northern light hunting: in the middle of no where, little light pollution, and according to the owner it's coastal location means wind tend to blow cloud away at night. and we did see it! The 3 course dinner we had was... More

This is the quintessential farmhouse in Iceland. It oozes charm - so much so that I actually stayed an extra day just to soak up all the ambiance. It was just an added bonus that there were James Dean photo decorations seeing as I am from Indiana (this Rebel Without a Cause actor's home state). Note: I had this farmhouse... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here from one night as we traveled along the ring road. We had an enjoyable stay at Vatnsholt and would not hesitate to stay there again. We had a double room with an ensuite bathroom. The room was simple, a bit on the small size, but clean, comfortable and cozy. As with any B&B style... More

Stayed here one night. Solid place. Nice rooms (quaint). Very quiet. Great large dining area with table tennis tables. Was heavy rain the day and night i was there so i mostly sat in my room and read a book. Didn't have any problems with the service, the staff friendliness nor the food. Would stay here again.

I stayed here for 5 nights, as part of an organised tour. The welcome we got was very friendly, although I must say I was a bit disappointed when shown the room. It was basic and rather small, in the long shed building. It was clean, but the bathroom was tiny and I did find it a little inconvenient that... More

After a horrible night in Reykjavik my 3 boys and I stayed here and had an amazing experience. The farm is a real, working farm set on an impossibly gorgeous + picturesque piece of land looking over the water. The room is a little dorm-like, sure; but meticulously neat and clean and comfortable; we slept like dogs. But the owners,... More

By far one of the best guesthouses in Iceland. We had a lovely room with a nice view of the surrounding nature. Dinner was very good with local products from the farm, and the breakfast was clearly above icelandic standard ! Above all, the welcome is really enthusiastic and... you have to see the animals there !

This place provided the best breakfast (significantly higher number of items and they taste great!) out of all the lodging places we stayed at in our 11-day trip in Iceland! The rooms are clean and a good size, and the surroundings are beautiful with lots of green and many sheep and horses! We had a double room with shared bathrooms.... More
