Kitchen has necessary kitchenware; room is small, though, parking is easy

Not even close to advertised

Misleading pictures and descriptions. The geo thermal pool is a block away and community, not on site and you have to pay. The bathrooms were tiny, dirty and the woman’s room had no lock. Most dispensers had no paper towel and the overall feel was grimy.

While the property is safe, there were too many spiders in the room. If you are scared of them, this may not be a place to sleep.

10/10 Exceptional

The code was sent to us in the afternoon on the day of our check-in. (We read multiple reviews saying they did not receive the code, so we were concerned, but we didnt have any issue!). The room was spacious for four people. Blackout curtains worked really well. The shower room was close by, and there were washers as well (we did not use it). Kitchen was kept clean, and we were able to warm up our food in microwaves, and keep food in the fridge overnight. Overall, a very excellent stay. Thank you!

Self check-in was really easy to use, room was clean and comfortable. Kitchen is nice, with a coffee maker.

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here for the 2nd night during our Iceland trip on the way back to Reykjavik. The code for self-check in was sent the day before. We were in the exact same room again. The room was clean, the shower room worked well, the kitchen was spacious and equipped with two sets of everything (sinks, ovens, stoves, microwaves, fridges, etc). Spacious dining areas with plenty of tables and chairs. Our room was really warm (June) without even turning on the heater. We actually needed to keep the window open to stay cool. The room had nice blackout curtains as well. A little sink in the room was super convenient. Overall, an excellent guesthouse. Thank you!

The staff was helpful. The building was clean and comfortable. We saw the northern lights there😊!

8/10 Very good

We were given our checkin information in advance, which was awesome, but it would have been helpful to indicate which building we were in, so we didnt bother a tenant. Kitchen was well equipped.

8/10 Very good

It was convenient for us. There is no parking but we easily found a spot on the street in front.
Genevieve, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The accommodations themselves were nice, but the space likely needed more care than an off-site manager. The women's restroom had two stalls, both of which did not have toilet paper accessible from the dispensers. No other backup toiletpaper was available. No paper towels were available for drying hands at the sink. The kitchen had no dishsoap for the communal dishes. All of these things were brought up via the hotels.com chat to the hotel, and no response was received during our stay there. The shower areas had a single body-gel/soap product and did not have standard shampoo/conditioner/soap as separate products. Bring shower shoes if you don't want to step on the common shower floor. The beds were comfortable, room had enough space compared to other rooms we had stayed in in Iceland so it was nice to be able to to open the suitcase and still step around it.

2/10 Poor

Wouldnt stay again

No front desk for this property. Per the cleaning lady: "if its not between 4pm and 9pm, staff does not usually respond. Like many others i did NOT receive a message with check in info, but I was aware that they frequently have this issue and called in the morning for my door code. Its time for a chahge in how you handle check in, Riverside. Rooms were clean. No rug or shoe rack, so lots of dirt and pebbles get tracked in. Spacious kitchen that is stocked with cooking ware. The walls are thicker than other hostels we have stayed, but the front door slams and can be heard through open windows. We counted 12 rooms, but only 1 bathroom for men. 2 for women. There is an extra unisex one through the kitchen, but the window lines up with the toilet (prepare to moon the neighbors). Showers do not have curtains, or locks on the door. You have to cross the bathroom naked to retrieve your clothes (unless you want them soaked in the shower with you). Mens bathroom also leaks under the wall, so when anyone showers the toilet is soaked around it on the floor. Good price, good location, but just missing too many things and a bit too greedy. We would not stay again.

They charged for room but nobody was there and we called them no answer.Although we have not stayed they charged us and not refund back us. Not recommend.

8/10 Very good

Internal is neat and moden. Alternative phone number and emails are posted and there is a working landlines phone in the entrance area, no need to worry not getting the room code . But it would be nice to get the room access code one day in advance. I got mt room code emails around 12pm of arrival day.

2/10 Poor

Terrible Experience – Avoid This Place I stayed from September 6th to 8th, and it was awful. The check-in process was chaotic, with poor communication and long delays. On the second night, I was locked out of my room for over an hour, and the emergency contact was unresponsive. The property itself was also disappointing—broken doors, bathrooms without working locks, poorly equipped kitchens, and rooms with a bad smell. Many services were either absent or non-functional. Despite my complaints, I haven’t received any response from management. Definitely not recommended.
Matteo, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I had a horrible experience with this place. We arrived late to the guesthouse due to some trouble on our way and couldn’t get in as there was no key left. There was no pin left to get the key. When we tried to contact on the given phone number, there was no response. We were left outside on the street in the extreme cold weather with nowhere to go. With great difficulty got another hotel for the overnight stay. We contacted the reception of the guesthouse the next day and she was very rude and blunt with no consideration to our ordeal.
SADIA, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bad service and stranger entered our room!

We had the same issues like the other guests reviews and more. We didn’t receive the check-in code for the room and I had to call to get it. The lady was really rude, hang up the phone without a “bye”. HUGE SECURITY issue: in the early morning, someone used the room code and opened our room door. Luckily left without anything happening, but this is not acceptable!!! Another problem: washers were not working (not even connected to the water!) and no coffee in the coffee machine. When I asked the cleaning lady for more coffee, she just said “run out”. Wifi didn’t work in our room at all. We were the only room behind the kitchen with really loud banging doors waking us up when people went into the kitchen or the shared bathroom.
