So cute. Love that I could walk to Laugarvatn Fontana (there's a discount if you say you are staying at the guesthouse), had a beautiful view of the lake, and the restaurant Was pretty good. Really enjoyed my stay here.
This guesthouse is an interesting use of an old schoolhouse in an area of Iceland with only a few other options. We found it a great stopover, and it has a relationship with the neighboring Fontana baths, a developed hot spring facility.

False Advertising
The place was fine, but it was not as advertised. We ended up having to leave a day early as a result. Do not trust the pictures.
This hotel is also a youth hostel on the ground floor, so there was lots of great energy during meals and in the common areas. Our rooms were comfortable and decorated in the style of an old school- we had a chemistry book on the wall! Delicious meals and warm hospitality as well as a location 1 minute from a great geothermal spa made this first stop on our vacation a favorite. We stayed two nights and enjoyed every minute of our time. The pool table in the basement was a favorite spot.
Very nice! We had a bathroom in our room and it was amazing! We saw the lights here!!!!

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
It was a great place, cozy and charming. The Problem was that the restaurant was closed and they were doing some kind of maintenance till late and it was really noise. But it was possible to notice that this was just something out of their normality
Ideal location and Bub was very helpful charging my phone. Thank you
Their theme is "Love & Peace" which is good, but not necessary to state. It can be love and peace without saying it.
