The guesthouse was lovely, well laid out with the shared kitchen, dinning area and entertainment area. Heaps of space, rooms are clean and very impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms and shared areas!

There is a huge area on the accommodation location to explore to see sheep and Icelandic horses next to a lake! Me and my husband had a good afternoon doing that once we settled into our rooms. Would recommend to others 👍

peaceful lake

Beautiful location on a quiet lake with horses nearby (and sheep farther away). Room and bathroom were spartan and clean. Large kitchen and supplies to prepare your own meals (which you may want to do since this is fairly isolated).

This place was a perfect place to stay \"off the beaten path\" along our road trip. Beautiful views of the water! The breakfast was good and convenient, as it is about a 15-20 min drive to any restaurants/markets. Nearest town (Blonduos) has a great restaurant in town (Teni's) that serves Ethiopian food!

Nice place but very basic. She checked us in early which was really appreciated as we were in a snowstorm. The place has all the necessities but no breakfast or dinner you need to drive to Blondus for those. That’s about 25 minutes drive.

This is a family-run guesthouse, situated on their farm that is on a lovely lake. The guesthouse was clean and safe, albeit a bit spartan. Nonetheless, it had everything we needed. There is a shared kitchen for the guests to use and we made our own dinner, as there are no restaurants we found close by. Breakfast is provided. While a bit off the beaten path, the location was lovely and a great place for hikers and those exploring off the main highway. The check in/out process was very easy and the young lady who greeted us was very kind and helpful.

Despite being closed, the guesthouse still honoured a reservation made very early this year. Their flexibility and the service was wonderful and we appreciated being able to spend the night. An absolutely spectacular location overlooking the lake, the guest rooms and common area are very spacious and comfortable.

This place was a good value for the money - so really not any complaints. It meets low budget expectations. Check-in was easy. The location was beautiful. The GPS did not know where this place was so we had to stop at a gas station and ask - luckily the attendant knew exactly how to direct us.

A quiet vacation place with limited service

This hotel is really remote. MyIt needs 20-30 min drive to a near by town for eating. Unfortunately, there is no breakfast or restaurant. I booked this guest house in order to see Northern Lights, and we did. We just needed to walk away 100m from the hotel and there is no lights around us! The staff is very friendly and welcoming, but she will be leaving after the summer. As it is a guest house, don't compare it with a hotel. The scenery is very good - lake, mountains, pastures, sheep, etc. Good quiet place to spend a night.

Very enjoyable.

Everything was clean and comfortable. Room was large. It is a guesthouse so all guests share the bathroom. It is about six miles off the main route. Beautiful lake and view behind guesthouse. Very serene. Only thing I could r commend improving may be signs on bathroom doors to indicate if vacant or not.

Mycket rent och fräscht med härliga sängar. Stort och välutrustat kök som hade allt vi behövde- och mycket extra. Vi var fyra stycken och inga andra gäster så vi hade hela allrummet för oss själva. Helt perfekt för att kunna se på VM fotboll utan att störa andra gäster. Vacker utsikt över sjön och vi kunde även njuta av att se en branduggla (jorduggla) precis utanför terrassen på kvällen.
Hit kommer vi gärna igen!

Nice place in the countryside

The guest house is by the lake and the view is really nice! The kitchen and bathroom is shared and well equipped, there are 2 washroom in the floor, one large and one small, the room is a little bit small, it is even smaller than the larger bath room but warm and cozy, it is okay for a good night's sleep and rest for another long drive next day.

Limpio y tranquilo

El sitio es una finca particular donde vive una familia. Nos recibió una persona que parecía tener un poco de prisa y no nos dio muchas indicaciones. La habitación estaba limpia, con baño privado. Un poco pequeña si llevas maletas grandes. El wifi funcionaba lento. Hay un salón grande fuera de las habitaciones y una cocina completamente equipada por si quieres cocinar. Recomiendo llevar comida para cenar porque alrededor no hay absolutamente nada y está lejos de cualquier sitio para comer o comprar. En general es un poco raro por la falta de indicaciones.
