It was a lovely place! If you are looking for an Iceland experience in the summer, this quaint guesthouse is nestled in the mountains surrounded by horses and sheep. We loved that there was breakfast included.

We only stayed for a night to break up our road trip and it was great. About 30 min to the glacier park and an hour to Stykkishólmur. It would be more if you wanted to stop to see the sights along the way and there are so many to see!

Because it is in a remote area, if you are trying to travel cheap, you may want to bring your own food. The only restaurant we saw was the one attached to the hotel.

Breakfast was good. Staff were helpful & polite. The room was TINY - nowhere to put suitcases. We were tripping over them on the floor all night. It was very shabby - paint chipped, baseboard missing, front window was stuck closed. Bathroom window did not shut tight and the wind howled through it all night long. We paid way too much money for what we got. BTW - the horses are part of the stable next door not owned by the guesthouse. I was told “sometimes they come near the property - but they bite.” They were so far out in the fields that you could barely see them.

The shower had mildew in it, the room did not have a tv, the breakfast had sub par processed foods and lack of choices. The bed was comfortable and the views were amazing. We paid extra for a room with a door to the porch, but the door had a note that it could not be opened, light flickered on and off all evening and the girl at the front desk wasn’t friendly.

The surrounding area and view was amazing, but the property (guest rooms) need investment to prevent them from appearing to be run down or dated. It could be enhanced with decorating, new furniture and some in room technology. The wifi in the guest room we were given was non-existent.

As we checked in, there were 5 customer groups in front of us waiting for service. Food was being carried out to tables in the restaurant area in front of us. We saw that the kitchen was due to close at 9pm and it was already 8.55pm, so we quickly asked one of the busy staff members carrying food whether we could still order as we hadn't eaten since breakfast. He returned from the kitchen and told us that \"all the food had gone and orders were finished - Nothing left from the menu\". When we eventually checked in at the desk we qualified this with the receptionist, who went to the kitchen again and came back to explain that they could only offer mushroom soup and bread. As she also confirmed that this would be the only food option for miles around, we asked for 2 portions (watery and disgusting). Once we had finished eating, taken bags to the room, the three hotel staff members on duty were seen tucking in to three plates of the other options from the menu.
This is the very worst in customer service, when they had all kitchen ingredients to quickly prepare something else for themselves or us as paying guests!
A good hotel location let down by selfish staff, leading to a poor visitor experience.

Surprisingly amazing dinner!

The look of the guesthouse is very basic, not very appealing. You check in at the dining area, which was very nice inside. Our room was small and tight, we had to open our suitcases, get the things we needed and closed them up because we couldn't leave it open. The bathroom was very small, nowhere really to put any toiletries. There was not hairdryer, and only shower gel. We did not get a hand towel. There were little flies or gnats between the curtain and window, so we did not open the windows for fear of more insects coming in. We ate at the restaurant and that was the absolute star of the stay. The food was absolutely delicious! Both dinner and breakfast were very good! The beds were comfortable as well, but it was just very warm in the room

The area is pretty remote, but gives you easy access to Snaeffellsjokull National Park. Dinner was very good and reasonable price, breakfast had a good assortment (although as an American, I’ll be glad to not see any more salami and cheese for breakfast). The only negative I have is the poor communication prior to our stay. I sent two messages through Expedia, and one email directly to Kast with no response. This was after I called, and was told I needed to email my request.

With the sun being up for 21 hours, our room was bright, in spite of the fact that there were blackout drapes on the window. The drapes themselves did not hook on the track correctly in the middle. There was no soap in the shower dispenser. The chicken dinner in the restaurant was poor. The chicken leg was puny. Of all the dinners we had in Iceland, this was the most disappointing.
