Great stay! Very cute and clean, friendly staff. The only thing we would have preferred is if there were three separate beds instead of one double but we’re just being picky. Shared washrooms and showers were very nice and clean. Complimentary breakfast was awesome, nice variety of food! Would highly recommend and stay again.

This was a great stay. This property was about 10 miles from the black sand beach and a few more miles from Vik. It is located at the base of a big mountain/glacier and is just about a mile off the main highway. The main building was very nice and the check-in process was quick and easy. The staff was very nice. Our room was for four people and had a private bathroom and shower. Most of the other rooms had shared bathrooms. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The breakfast was buffet-style and was very good with a variety of sliced meats, cheeses, yogurt, cereal, breads, coffee, and tea. The property was very quiet and had 5 cute goats near the guest building.
