Great location and view but terrible bed
Loved the area and the hotel itself it was clean and well maintained and had privacy that was amazing and great view of the land. The main negativethat really affected the guest house was the "double bed" which is an absolutely rock hard couch with 1 pillow and 2 scratchy couch pillows. It was comprable to slewping on the floor and i would highly suggest for the money paid to stay there they upgrade the beds.great location and view as i said but terrible comfort after a long day of hiking.

if you like warm shower-Don't book this place. Hot water in shower was only for 5 min. There were 4 girls in the group, some skipped shower some took cold shower. this place can't accommodate 4 persons, maybe 1. there was a note asking to conserve hot water. First person who took the shower conserved. And then we waited for an hour for hot water to warm up. the note lied - there was no hot water after one hour. I took cold shower standing in the corner, crying. It was pretty horrible. all my joy from the cuteness of the place and beautiful location was gone after the cold shower. Place was not worth the money. Disappointed.

This was a beautiful guesthouse with a great view. It was the only accommodation we stayed at that offered both heat and a/c (apparently a/c is uncommon in Iceland). The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and we thought the size of the room was good. The only two things we didn’t love was that there was construction equipment that blocked part of our view, but that is out of the control of the host. My only tip for the host on improvement would be that the blackout curtains had a few hole in the fabric and they didn’t cover edge to edge that well, which made the room pretty bright for sleeping. But we would still stay here again if we were to come back to Iceland,

This was an amazing stay in the middle of the wide open. There was an impressive hill/mount? Nearby that the young adults climbed for amazing views. We loved it!

Wonderful night at Bru Guesthouse. Master bedroom bed was really comfy. Could use a tv in master bedroom. Sofa bed mattress was a little too firm. Views are spectacular.

We loved our remote cabin which overlooked the volcanic glacier and the glass design meant the sun streamed in. The beds were super comfortable and there was a small amount of tea and coffee available. The bedroom and shower worked very well. We found the cabin very handy to travel into the next village for food and took several trips out in the car around the waterfalls and hot springs. The farm is along a well maintained gravel road from the main highway. The owner was very helpful by E Mail as the weather caused several roads to close further east. In the end they reopened allowed us to continue our travels. Highly recommended

Literally middle of nowhere with a nice view to the mountain and falls. We should learn from Iceland on minimalistic living. Small, compact but you still have everything you need. Brilliant !!!
