Beautiful house surrounded by stunning landscapes! Our favourite stay in Iceland, and the drive there was one of the best. The hosts are great, you can tell they have put a lot of care into the house and the comfort of their guests. The kitchen is well-equipped, breakfast is good, beds are comfortable, and everything is extremely clean. They have a book for guests to read with tips on local thermal baths etc.
I highly recommend staying here!

Location with little light pollution to see the Northern Lights! Beautiful house!!

Well-renovated Icelandic house with a cozy atmosphere and meticulous attention to detail. The pleasant wall colors and ample natural light in the room create a welcoming ambiance. The window offers a lovely view, and the simple, light breakfast, personally served by the owner, adds a personal touch.
The minimal light pollution makes it an excellent spot for catching the Northern Lights when conditions align. It's unfortunate that our late arrival limited our time here, as I would have loved to fully immerse myself in the experience.

Well-renovated Icelandic house with a cozy atmosphere and attention to detail. The pleasant wall colors and great light in the room create a welcoming ambiance. The window offers a lovely view, and the simple, light breakfast, personally served by the owner, adds a personal touch.

We couldn't locate shower towels in the room but later found small towels in the bathroom, so we made use of them. We weren't sure if this was acceptable, but it was too late to disturb the owners.

One downside was the poor soundproofing; you could hear every step in the house.

Charming B&B on an historic farmstead. Wonderful host, very clean, comfortable accommodations, use of kitchen, sufficient breakfast provided. Although remote there is a town 15 minutes drive for food and gas. Our family of 8 stayed on the second floor and had a bathroom to ourselves; although it is possible you might share the bathroom if your group is smaller and there are other guests staying.

One of the best guesthouses I stayed in the past 10 days!! It started with a welcoming check in, continued with a comfortable room and the cleanest bathroom (you couldn't even tell I shared them with 5 guests) and ended with a rich breakfast. Berglind is the house owner, she had good recommendations and lots of knowledge and stories about the area.
I booked 1 night and had such an amazing time so I extended the stay!!

absolutely perfect! we loved our stay at saudafell guesthouse - the property is well-maintained, clean and has a very charming rétro-style: just what we were expecting and what you would want to find in northern iceland. our hosts were lovely and the breakfast in the communal kitchen was great!

This guest house sits on a hill top with very nice view. The two story guest house offers five or six guest rooms with one bathroom on each floor. Although we had to share the bathroom with other guests, the bathroom was kept very dry and clean. The house decor is homey and comfy. The kitchen is equipped with cooking essentials and dinnerware. The breakfast was included. It’s simple but had everything we need: bread, broiled eggs, milk and coffee, fruit, cereal. The owners have a very friendly dog who likes to play and been petted.

Absolutely amazing stay!! The guesthouse is beautiful and full of so many great things to look at! We loved having the baby lambs and mama sheep so close to our windows! The kitchen is beautiful and very functional for extended stays. We were only there one night and hope to come back and stay multiple nights. Finding the location was easy and the views were gorgeous (mountains, farms, sheep, and so much open space)!

Berglind and Finnbogi joined us for their deliciously homemade breakfast and shared stories of their history and the area. So friendly and charming!!!

The shared bathroom on the first floor was clean with all of the products (shampoo/soap/etc.) and always had warm water with good pressure. There was so much space for relaxing and even to have a group dinner in the kitchen. Plus a private library of very interesting books to read!

It really was a nice, quiet, and comfortable stay.
