10 minutes from Blue Lagoon and on the way to Selfoss, the guesthouse is in great location. It was clean and well partitioned. We’re a family of 4 with teenage sons. It kept the family together and gave us our privacy. For the price, you cannot get anything like it in Iceland

This was the perfect place to stay ! There was a double bed, then a bunk bed with a double on the bottoms and one on the top. The sofa could have been pulled out as well for more sleeping.
The apartment had all the amenities you would need. I made us eggs for breakfast and there is a great restaurant within steps of the stay. They have everything you could want to eat.
The location was great. We were able to go to the light house and bridge between continents easily and it was close to the airport.
The hosts were terrific with communication - answering quickly with any questions we had.
I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this location!

This was an excellent place to stay and a perfect choice for our first or last nights in Iceland. Its location made it incredibly convenient for both Keflavík Airport and the Blue Lagoon, while still providing a quiet place to relax after a long day of travel.

Our accommodations were clean, spacious, and comfortable, with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Having access to a kitchen and common areas was especially helpful, and the self check-in process was simple and hassle-free. The property was well maintained and felt safe and welcoming. The apartment was much larger than we expected it to be and very spacious with our own washer/dryer in the unit.

We also appreciated the parking located right outside the front door, making unloading and loading luggage very convenient. The town is fairly desolate and has limited access to stores or other facilities due to a recent earthquake, which vacated much of the town. Hopefully, residents will return and allow businesses to open back up again.

If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced place to stay near the airport or the Blue Lagoon, Reykjanes Guesthouse is a great option. We would definitely stay here again.

Our 3 bedroom apartment at the Reykjanes Guesthouse was clean, spacious, and a perfect “home base” for our trip.

The well appointed kitchen had everything we needed to make a meal or two in, and being just 26 minutes from KEF, with the Blue Lagoon in between, meant very easy arrival and departure days.

From Grindavik, we were easily able to drive to Geysir, Gullfoss, and Thingvellir National Park (with substantial stops at each) in one day, with dinner in Reykjavík.

This was the perfect spot for our trip to Iceland with our 3 boys, 20, 18, and 16.

Signs, signs, everywhere signs.... Signs to wash your dishes, not to pee on the bathroom floor(yes, seriously), check out on time, take off your shoes, etc and a little over priced given the lack of anything else in the area. It is a literal ghost town with only two restaurants.

It was my first stay in a guesthouse with a shared bathroom, but there was no need to worry - there were there spotless units complete with showers for two rooms, so there was no issue. The kitchen was excellent, with the full-size fridge and all the amenities. The bed was comfortable, and the room well-ventilated and quiet. I would definitely stay there again!

One nights stay in an abandoned yet beautiful town

PROs: Spacious, comfortable, clean room. Lots of clean bathrooms. Kitchen with all facilities. Spacious dining area. Abandoned town yet beautiful. Close to the ocean hence walkable. The adjacent restaurant serves delicious food and plays great music.
CONs: Located in an abandoned town due to an active volcano. Town smells like lava which is tolerable though. Becomes really quiet and lonesome at night which could appear scary and eerie to tourists. About a 25 minutes taxi ride from KEF airport.

The property is situated in a town that has been abandoned due to the presence of an active volcano. As a result, the area is now a ghost town with no available amenities, and it feels unsafe to stay there given that all former residents have relocated. Additionally, the property's layout is unconventional, as it involves sharing an apartment with another family. While I have stayed in various hostels before, this particular arrangement felt uncomfortable and did not meet my expectations.

It was just what we needed including a washing machine to clean the baby clothes. I recommend staying here. It is a very practical and comfortable place. Papa’s pizzas and fish and chips is near and has good food. Other sights are close by and not busy.

Spacious but basic converted commercial space

This guesthouse is in a converted storefront, which means it has a lot of space, which is great, but is also a bit awkward (for example, the the massive open shower in one of the bathrooms) and rather shabby (e.g. broken drawer in the kitchen, holes in the bedsheets). It was rather disappointing for the relatively high price and the owners/management are hard to get a response from about questions. It is in easy reach of the airport and the Blue Lagoon, but the town of Grindavik itself is rather gritty.

Basic but adequate

The place is clean and adequate for a one night stay before heading to the airport. Communication is all done through email and the hosts seemed nice and respond quickly, but you will never see them and they are not present at the hotel. The hotel is listed with 3 stars. Personally, I think that's a little generous. There was body wash and shampoo in only one of the three shared bathrooms. The pillows were so lumpy and should absolutely be replaced. Instructions are left indicating to put your towels in the laundry basket and to wash/dry/put away any dishes that were used during your stay. It had the feel of a hostel rather than a hotel. Maybe this is normal for Iceland, but I think future guests should be aware when booking.

The room is certainly great for the price. Lots of room, clean, right in the heart of Grindavik. Walkable to the shore and to most of the town.

My only critique was the communication. There is no front desk and email was a bit spotty as I had limited Wi-Fi being an international traveler. As I was not traveling by car and had to rely on the limited bus schedule, it was hard for me to time my arrival for the strict check in and check out times. That is usually not an issue if bag storage is an option, but it did not seem to be. I had to hang around the spot next door for 2 hours waiting for check-in instructions instead of exploring the town.

I want to emphasize that this was a minor setback in an otherwise fine stay. The room was everything I needed and certainly worth the price.
