I wish I could have stayed more nights at South Central Guesthouse. This was easily one of the best guesthouses we stayed at during our trip to Iceland.

The hosts were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and were always happy to help whenever we needed anything. Their hospitality made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.

The guesthouse was clean, comfortable, and had a warm, relaxing atmosphere that made it hard to leave. It was one of those places that genuinely made our trip even more enjoyable.

If I visit Iceland again in the future, I will definitely stay here again without hesitation. A big thank you to the hosts for making our experience so memorable. I highly recommend South Central Guesthouse to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay here! It was clean, had comfortable beds (although very lumpy pillows), spacious bathrooms and communal areas, great kitchen amenities, and was in such a peaceful setting! There was also a hot tub to use, which was perfect after a day of hiking! The only downside is that we had noisy people in the room beside us, and the walls weren’t too soundproof, but overall this was minor considering all of the positives of this stay!

I loved my stay here. The property was spacious, private, and clean, also very quiet during my stay. Self check in was simple as well. I wish I was staying at this place longer and would definitely recommend it to other travellers.

I had a private two single beds room, this worked very well for myself as a solo traveller this trip!

What an excellent place to stay — warm, spacious, cosy, clean, and well equipped! We enjoyed the guesthouse very much. The elderly lady who welcomed us was extremely kind and courteous.

Our only regret is that we stayed for just one night. We wish the owner all the best and 1000% recommend this place! Thanks a lot!

The room was spotless, the guesthouse cozy, and the experience awesome. Only thing I’d change, there was a bright florescent light right outside our window, was like sleeping on the sun (in November), even with the blinds closed. Also it was SUPER hot. Had to open the window to make it sleepable.

The host is a fantastic person. We were kind of lost, instead of the guesthouse we were at the apartments and fortunately we met the host at the apartments. She took us to the guesthouse - driving alongside us, provided us with food items and her daughter-in-law provided with list of place to see. Rooms were great. Best part was the cleanliness. We were provided with house slippers. There were 2 dogs that were friendly and greeted the visitors..fantastic and loved it a lot. Thanks!

Good location for the golden circle, relatively close to Selfoss, guesthouse clean and comfortable, good to be able to have use of a kitchen. Would stay again


Only downsides was kitchen was missing oven trays and the kettle was temperamental as to whether it worked. Bed linens were also quite thin and seemed quite old

A nice clean property for a quick one night stay

Overall a great , clean, spacious property. Room was clean and bright, comfortable beds. Dining and kitchen area is very spacious and spotless. The only thing we didn’t like much was the bathroom situation, two showers in one bathroom so if one person is using shower, you have to wait even though there is another shower in there. It’s also a bit tricky to find the house at night so definitely keep that in mind if you will be arriving late.

Warm and cozy hostel on a farm

The location is on a farm off of the main road. It is very quiet as you are surrounded by fields. House is cozy, spacious, and clean. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Shared bathrooms were very clean. Check-in was easy, be sure to check your email afterwards for the code to the door to get in and put GPS into your phone to find the turn off. Host was very accomodating with anything we needed including towels and coffee. Wifi was fast.

clean and functional

I stayed at South Central Guest House while visiting the golden circle for 2 days and the location was perfect to split the 2 days and after having spent part of the evening at the hidden lagoon.
My room had 4 beds. The hostel was very clean and featured a large kitchen with eating area and TV room. The area is very quiet and has a horse farm in the back. I was greeted by a beautiful view of the plain and the mountains in the morning.
Do not expect any activity here at night, there is no town in the immediate vicinity. During my stay the owner stopped by and we had a pleasant chat about the area and horse farming.
If you are looking for a clean place to spend the night I recommend this hostel.

宿泊するのに困ることはありませんでした。非対面のチェックインで鍵が置いてあるので勝手に鍵を取って、チェックアウトも鍵を置いていくだけでした。キッチンスペースも広々しており使いやすいです。周りにお店はないので事前に食事は購入していく必要があります。
最初、手前にあるAnnna’sHouseに間違えていってしまったので、外観はチェックしてから行くことをお勧めします
