    I loved everything!

    This was a perfect place to enjoy a quiet night. The town is adorable and everyone was so sweet. I would highly recommend staying here. The restaurant was also delicious.

    It was exactly as described, it’s a guesthouse in an old school building, the location and the view were stunning though in a very lonely region. The self service breakfast offers lot more than we expected and was a very nice gesture of the host.

    If you want to experience nothingness this is the place. Very quite and remote. A great place to spend a lazy day. Thor the owner was quite helpful. Great clean place and room. A great place to also underastand and experience village life in Iceland. It is a little off the route 1.

    It was super creepy at first. The place is a but messy we arrived there and had no one to talk to. Turned out later that you need to call them in order to check in. The wifi was so weak in our room :(

    We had a room for four with a private bathroom, it was massive and clean. The staff is super friendly. The breakfast was self served with a well equipped kitchen (they loaded the fridge with food) and it was lovely.

    Breakfast was included in the price of the facility but the choice of products was very limited, as if for small children :)

    The object is located in a tiny charming fishing village. The surprise was that the room was located in the school, which still had a common room with a large TV, a large fully equipped canteen and a gym. the room was larger than we expected and as there were no guests we got a room with a bathroom. The owner is a very nice man, I recommend to stop at this facility on the way to the north of Iceland.

    It would have been good to have more things available in the kitchen such as tea towels for the washing up and knives. The fridge could have been cleaner. These are just minor details - really recommend this accommodation

    The room was spacious and the bed were very comfortable. There was a good selection of breakfast items available and a big kitchen to cook food, The showers were very nice. Recommend this accommodation

    Repurposing a schoolhouse that had remained idle for 9 years is a great endeavour. The owner has lots of enthusiasm for the project and it is great for their community. We enjoyed our stay, the breakfast and the uniqueness of the school.

    Maybe a few more knives, including cutting knives, would be helpful, for the kitchen common area.

    Our host was amazing and kind, and was quick to arrive when we did, although it was already after nine pm. The location is a converted school, and while we weren’t there long enough to enjoy everything, it had plenty of activities for the kids (and adults), including a bouncing bed, apparently quite typical in Icelandic playgrounds, right outside the guesthouse. We also got a special treat of a small pod of whales hunting nearby. Plus, this was the only location so far that has had recycling of more than just glass, and we really appreciated it!

    Shower did get the entire floor wet as they were not not quite finished with the shower enclosure. They could use a few more direction signs in town to direct t you.

    We arrived late and the owner was still able to provide us some food for the night. They are repurposing an old school house and it is great o see it used for this type of accommodation. Nice breakfast spread.

    We liked everything

    We stayed a night at this hostel and we loved our stay! The project is very interesting to convert a school into a hostel. The communication was excellent and the owner very welcoming person. The rooms are very spacious and the kitchen area the same and fully equipped. The breakfast is self service and provides everything to start your day! There is tv room to relax and even sports area! It is an amazing place located in a very picturesque town! We were very happy to drive there and stay at this place. We wish all the best with the project and we recommend this place!
