Perfect base for exploring Southern Iceland. Bára was a hospitable host, and her passion for her Icelandic horses was evident. It felt like we were welcomed into her home, and everything was perfect. Rooms great size, nice sized common area. Great and varied breakfast every morning. Bar well stocked throughout the stay. Hot tub a nice bonus, and seeing the Northern Lights whilst in it is an experience I'll never forget! A perfect guesthouse!

Stayed here with G Adventures tour. This place deserves 5 stars. 1-for the view and landscape, 2- of course the horses, Ba’ra is so proud of her horses, 3-the peacefulness and the serenity surrounding the place, 4-its cozy and clean, 5- the host is very welcoming to all weary travelers.

Spacious rooms. Large bathroom. Heated towel rack, underfloor heating. Very clean. Our tour group took up the whole place and had a lovely couple of nights. Not sure how meals usually work there but we cooked together of an evening in the kitchen and breakfast was prepared for us in the mornings. Great spot away from the city where you can see the starry sky. Large living area separate from the bedrooms with games and cards available.

Stayed a couple of years ago as a client of Arctic Adventures ...it was our base for the holiday and we loved it there. The hosts were fantastic, as was the food and drinks, and horses in stables nearby.

This is one of the most incredible hotels/guest houses I have ever stayed in. Service was incredible, property is gorgeous, and the horses are a wonderful bonus! Highly recommend this guest house if you're traveling through Iceland!

The most beautiful guesthouse, in the most beautiful setting. The rooms are incredibly clean and comfortable. The lounge area was great for socialising and cooking dinner. We even saw the Northern Lights both nights we stayed. I fell in love with this magical place. Thank you. X

I really enjoyed my stay. The host cooked a wonderful soup and the rooms were very nice and comfortable!

In the middle of almost nowhere, great views 360°, lovely owner. Guesthouse with 8 rooms (also family room). Large area to just sit and relax, you can take softdrinks and beers/wines out of the fridge and write them down. Rooms are just great, good beds, warm floor, super bathroom. Nothing over deluxe, but very well built with nice materials. Location is top. The landlady has some horses. For your lunch and dinner you have to go to Fjuđir, 10min car, where you'll find supermarket and ethiopan (!) restaurant (make a reservation!). And a bit further up there is more to find. One of our favorites in Iceland, that's for sure.

Amazing location with horses (!!) and all the basics covered. There is a bar (you can run a tab and pay at check out) and a hot tub, but it was winter, so didn't try that. The breakfast left something to be desired and there wasn't quite enough seating in the living space for our entire group, but no real complaints otherwise! I'd def stay here again as a basecamp for day excursions.
