Reviews
The room was very clean and lots of cooking tools are prepared.
Of course salts, pepper, oil is in the house.
Moreover, sea is right next to house, really easy to catch nothern light and aurora.
Since city is quite small and there is not much light, stars are also very clearly seen.
Also price is really reasonable compared to other accomodation.
If you move to the road, you can see aurora more clearly either!
Very recommend this house and thanks for the stay once more!
But the real standout here is the service. We asked for early check in, so they made the room available two hours early. Unfortunately our rental car broke down about 20 minutes away, leaving us stranded for well over an hour. After frantic calls to the emergency services and the rental company, I called the hotel to let them know we were delayed. The concierge (owner?) went out of his way to come pick us up where we were stranded and bring us to the hotel. He was so kind and generous, it saved what could otherwise have been a really miserable day. They even have mittens, hand knitted by his mother and grandmother, on offer, in case you forgot your own. Strongly recommended for clean, comfortable accommodations and above and beyond service!
Room was very clean and neat, with a small kitchen, perfect for the a couple of a small family staying for a few days. The price was very good too, worthy every penny.
We met the mother and son at the reception who checked us in, they were very friendly and nice.
Only downside was there was only two restaurants in the town and they close very early. But Selfoss is only about 10 minute’s drive, there are more restaurants there.
Super clean room, comfy bed and friendly staff.
I didn't know how to turn the heater off so it felt hot, but it was better than being cold. It was comfortable.
The shower toilet was shared, but I was grateful that there was a sink in the private room.
The view from the room was beautiful, and at night I could see sheep right outside the window.
