the location is definitely unique - it would be nice to know the history of that building and why it is there. It is very clean and there is everything a guest needs except a laundry facility.

Peaceful place to stay away from the city
The guesthouse and its location were very good. Due to its remote location, the best way to commute is by taking a rental car. It was a bit strange that Google maps doesn't have the route map for the last 1.5km to the guesthouse. However, there was a signboard to the guesthouse which helped. The stay was pleasant and the kitchen & bathrooms were in very good condition. The only downside was that our grocery items were stolen from the common refrigerator. So, please be careful and store the non-perishable goods in the room instead of the refrigerator.

Overall great place but somehow in the morning, someone opened my room door while I sleeping. Not sure if how someone else had the code to our room.

Despite the scruffy exterior and location close to the city dump, the interior was very well maintained, clean and sleepable. The area outside the building did not smell either (only the drive to/from the building)
Good as a jumping off point near Reykjavik if you want to go do the golden circle as you are already in the outskirts of town.

Nice overall! The self check in code did not work for us upon arrival but the owner help us over the phone and the problem was solve. The kitchen is well equipped. We truly appreciated our stay.
