I tried to rent places where we didn’t have to share living spaces, but I must have missed this one. However, everyone staying there were super friendly and there weren’t any problems. It was located in a beautiful place with several waterfalls behind it.

Just fine
It was fine. Bit tricky finding the place to checkin ... The instructions were buried in zillions of hotels.com emails. One in, it was a normal guesthouse.

This place should not be open for business. The toilets do not work - disgusting. You have water pressure issues. Some of the bathroom locks were not functioning. Fix your plumbing issues!!! This is the worst night we have had in Iceland - by far. If you can’t provide basic plumbing, you should be shut down. I can’t believe we paid money to stay here. Shame on you.

The people were super nice and check in was easy. The food at the guest house was delicious. The accommodations are a good size and clean. The bathrooms are shared and are very small, water gets everywhere and each person only gets one towel also the shower water temperature is very difficult to adjust. The cost for the room is high given the shared bathrooms, I would not return to the guest house, but I would return to the restaurant.

The room was very small, the bed took up pretty much the whole space, not leaving room to open the suitcases or even just to sit down. There was only one power outlet for a double room, at a somewhat inconvenient position, so we definitely needed our extension cords to be able to recharge both of our phones. Quite overpriced, for just the bed space, to be honest.

Beautiful scenery, but that is about it. Shared bathrooms and kitchen. One shower didn’t work properly. Tiny room where they squeezed 5 beds. Would not recommend.

Way overpriced for the conditions. This place had a non-functional shower (our neighbours also couldn't get it to work). I showered myself and my kids by filling a water bottle. Very disappointing after a long day of hiking (there's also a hole inside the shower right through the wall to the outside - I guess a vent used to be there and they never replaced it). One of the bathrooms had a toilet that didn't flush - I had to flush it with a bucket. The blinds in our room were broken - have to be turned by hand. The bed felt caved in and worn out. If it were 100EUR cheaper, I'd say fine. But at this price, it needs a major upgrade. I messaged the owner via Expedia app last night and have not heard back. A shame because our first impression was "this place is cozy". For reference, the night before, we stayed at a place almost 100EUR cheaper and had a private, fully renovated bathroom and two rooms with excellent beds and sheets. The full service hotel we stayed at in Vik was also cheaper.

It worked, but it cost gas and time others did not
We had to go to a different location completely to get info how to enter this guesthouse - not had to waste this time or gas for any of the many other guesthouses we have stayed in - no reason the info couldn't be emailed to us, as others have. This was the smallest of any of the rooms, also, and the most basic of all the guesthouse rooms we have stayed in. It worked for a place to sleep, and there was a kitchen available.

The accommodation is located about a 10min drive from Jökulsárlón. So it is really convenient when doing activities on the glaciers. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a kitchen if you need to make food. The nature around the accommodation is next level. With a waterfall at the back of the property.

Nice room with a deck, from which we saw the northern lights. Proximity to Jokulsarlon was the biggest factor for us to book there. Nearby guesthouse has restaurant, where we had a nice dinner. Shared bathrooms is the only drawback of this particular property

The lady that helped us at checkin was so friendly. Room was clean and comfortable and the scenery around the property was beautiful. I read a review that there was one outlet in the room and it was 6 feet up the wall, that wasn’t our experience. We had outlets right on top of the bedside table on both sides. We didn’t use the kitchen area as we got there late and left early. The only recommendation I would make would be to add black out blinds. It was light at 5am and our room was bright. Other than that everything was great! Would recommend for sure.

Terrible experience
Terrible experience. We were tired from driving and they made us drive 5 minutes past the guesthouse to their restaurant to get a lock code which they could have simply sent it via email to us, then drive back to the house. As I arrived the door was being held close with a chair because there wasn’t a lock, the place was very noisy, the doors were stuck and loud. One of the 2 toilets upstairs was out of order who knows for how long -I could tell because of the tape. Do not stay here unless it’s your last option.
