Clean and comfortalvd

We had a nice stay at Guesthouse Edinberg, room was clean, upstairs had refrigerator, kitchen with sink and stove top, comfortslve couches tables and chairs and an old galaxy game, no quarters needed. We needed code to get into our room which was provided to us in the message section of our hotel app. The listing says it would be emailed to us but that is where I found it. There were several other people arriving that did not receive their access code which caused a lot of stress. There is no reception desk at this property and no one answers the phone number provided. If this issue can be resolved it would have a much higher rating

Mother - Daughter vacation.

This Guesthouse is for single travelers who are on a very tight budget. Looks like a college dormitory. Room was extremely tight and you can hear everyone else in the house come in and out. The room and bathroom were perfectly clean. Checking in and out was very easy.

Great place if you just want a plave to bathe and sleep.

Stayed for 2 nights end of August. Building interior seemed recently updated, bright lights. The common room in attic was clean with a kitchen that has refrigerator, microwave, sink, stove, cooking ware & utensils. We had to cook simple meals since there is no restaurant nearby. Ample sitting space. There’s TV, an arcade game & chess game. The stairs going up was very steep though so hold onto the railing:-)
But door to the room keeps getting stuck, doesn’t seem to lineup properly with door frame. Room was a bit small for 3 people (1 full bed & 1 twin bed). Not much space for luggage, so we left most of stuff in the car which we parked right in front the building. The plug-in electric heater in the room kept us warm through the night even with the howling wind. The showerhead holder was broken, had to hold it, but still nice to have a hot shower after a full day of adventures.
Was surprised that staff actually came to fix the bed & change towels while we were out.
Overall, the guesthouse served our purpose.
By the way, the thermal bath is quite a hike, about a mile up with no signs along the trail.

The place was super basic and with no space at all. One person could hardly fit into the shower (and we are fit people - like the shower width is around 50cms).
Matresses were very bad I woke up with huge backache.

The room in the guesthouse was clean and modern, but small - the shower was barely wide enough to stand in (I am an average size female). It would have helped immensely if there were hooks on the walls in the bathroom and/or in the sleeping area, as there was nowhere to hang things such as clothing or wet towels. However, the surroundings are very quiet and peaceful, and for one night it was fine.

This is a really nice property; clean and well equipped. My only complaint was it was boiling hot when we arrived. It was a warm day already (perhaps unusual for Iceland?) but the little house was sweltering and it was difficult to get a cross breeze as only 2 small windows could be opened. It was uncomfortably hot for about 3 hours (we even propped open the door to try to get the hot air out). Except for the heat, I was happy with this accommodation. Great location.

This was by far the worst check in experience ever. You are prompted to ring a phone number upon arrival to receive your room number and code. Originally we were told we would receive an email 24 hours before - that never happened.
We tried ringing the number 15 times over a few hours, never got a response. The worst part is when we arrived at least 4 other couples had the same issue. The only reason we got in was because a lovely lady earlier took a picture of the keybox numbers from the cleaners! If she wasn't there we would have been screwed. Avoid this place until the fix their entry system..

The area was nice, however, me and my fiance arrived Christmas afternoon and could not reach any of the phone numbers in order to check-in. I was supposed to get an email 24 hours prior to check-in but nothing was ever sent. We ended up getting in an hour after we arrived because an attendant came by.

Also, the WiFi worked for only the first day that we were there. It went out the following morning and never came back on. I could not reach the host via call or message. Terrible hospitality and no WiFi. The area was okay.

Had to call staff (who came straight away) to close the window properly but wind still blew hard and loudly on the place all night with electrical outage in the morning (1 hr before check out).

Walk inside to get landline, door was unlocked. IF you can check in, all is well. Attempted to stay at starlight camping pods owned by same property 2 days later and that did not go well. Location is lovely, close to Seljavallalaug swimming pool. Cute brindled cows next door. However, little to no cell phone service in this area. On 17th landline worked; successfully got code for rooms at guesthouse. By message, codes were not sent til the 18th aka the day of check-out, so that didn’t help. That was unhelpful but innocuous at first. Then they sent that picture to expedia as \"proof\" of check-in codes at Starlight Camping Pods for the 19th… which were never sent nor did the landline work nor did the phone get answered when we finally gave up and drove out until an area of cell service coverage. thank god we found another place to stay (drove all the way to the city) instead of trying and waiting all night because they were never sent. no refund. Because non refundable, I would understand if WE had canceled. But I asked for money back because we were literally unable to check in and they literally left us in the cold. They said no. all in all I think it would have been lovely if you are able to check in. But I can’t say that is reliable.

There were folks checking into the property at all hours, and the noise made it impossible to sleep. Some sound proofing in the halls could help with this, as the empty hallways amplified voices and the doors being unlocked/slammed shut. Our shower head was broken as well.

Check-in was a severe stress test. I never received the digital access code electronically. On to Plan \"B\". The sign on the building said to call a number, but having dialed countless times no answer. On to Plan \"C\". Going into the \"lobby\", if you want to call it that, the sign now noted two numbers to call, neither of which were answered after trying, again, countless times. Fortunately for my wife and I an obvious employee probably leaving for the day, came to my rescue and got us into our room. An hour and a half of valuable Icelandic daylight wasted. The building itself was a simple barn like structure with two floors. I say barn like because it appeared to me that that was what it was in an earlier life before conversion into a guesthouse. Our room was absolutely tiny. I have seen horse stalls larger than this. As for amenities, there were none, not even a cup in the WC to drink from.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY TO ANYONE - NOT EVEN MY WORST ENEMY.

Don't stay here

The only thing good about this place was the location, everything else was pretty terrible. The check in process was okay since we planned to be there during given hours. However, of the 2 rooms we booked, 1 of them smelled so bad it was hard to even stand in there. It smelled of mold and mildew. We chose to spend no time in there other than to sleep. It was too cramped to do much else anyways, barely enough room to open two suitcases. The other two people in our traveling party refused to enter our room because of the smell. When we called to get the room switched after noticing the smell, no one answered the phone. There is no one on site so phone call or email was the only option. Because it was after check in time we got no response so had to spend the night in that room. We called back in the morning and they assigned us another room and gave us the wrong room code so we couldn't get in there when we got back. Spent another night in the terrible smelling room for this reason. When we called back again the next day they essentially told us the code should have worked and then hung up. We decided there was no point arguing and left at check out time. The showers were so small you could barely move. There was no division between the shower and the rest of the tiny bathroom so everything was wet and smelly. I would stay literally anywhere else. The water didn't taste drinkable and also smelled like mildew so we went to a nearby waterfall to fill up.

However, the posted phone numbers got a busy line signal all the time or drop calls. No other guest in the building nor we could find any neighbor guest. I even used my cell phone to call the post phone numbers. The line was disconnected after a few rings. After 30-40 minutes. I got a text on my cell phone and directed me to call another phone number which I could reach a staff. The lady who answered the phone was so rude and hung up once she quickly gave me the 2 room numbers and the codes to unlock the doors.

Good place to stop by in the south coast. Sorta in the middle of vik and reykjavik, like 20 min away from famous waterfalls in south coast. Close to a mountain geothermal pool with amazing view. Dont expect too much, however, place is very small and just good for sleeping and shower. Best feature is location, amazing view all around.

Poor. Rooms very small, should be advertised for backpackers- but to expensive for them

Not recommended to anyone

One of my worst stays. No staff on site and no one responds to help phone #. We even saw a couple that could not check in because they did not receive the email with check in instructions and had to sleep in the lounge area... Overall, condition of the house is poor and room is very tiny and not pleasant. Not recommended.

Nice guesthouse, great location

Stayed for 3 nights in June 2019. Had read some reviews which were not so good, but I was pleasantly surprised. Self-check-in was fine and the surrounding area is incredible - the guesthouse is situated right in between Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss so is a very close drive to all the south coast sights. The best were comfortable and there is a nice lounge area upstairs. A lot of the reviews mentioned the noise in the hallway - this seems to mostly be the cleaners from around 8.30am-11am and my goodness they let the front door BANG! Not so welcome when you've been up until 3am photographing a wedding! Perhaps someone should tell them to close it quietly or at least to put a stopper in the door - the whole place shakes when they let the front door bang shut!! Other than that, the stay was very pleasant and I would stay here again if need arose.

There is no staff on duty. There is no wifi even though it was advised. Two people couldn’t check in because they didn’t have keys in their lock boxes. The phone is broken so the owner can not be contacted. The room was smaller than what it was worth and the heater was broken. I would stay elsewhere next time.

AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, We had booked, paid for 2 rooms & confirmed via Expedia but when we arrived the Welcome Guesthouse Edinborg paperwork/booking only had 1 room booking, so while there were 4 of us travelling we only could access 1 room which was small and could not take 4 people. So when we arrived and discovered this, there was no one was at reception to help us as this is a self check in facility, the courtesy phone at reception to contact management/staff did not work and when I emailed them and phoned them from reception that night I got no reply, (and have not to this day from the Welcome Guesthouse Edinborg). In the end by 1 o clock that night we gave up trying to email and call them, so we agreed 2 of us would take the room and the other 2 had to sleep in the car, we switched this halfway through the night as the 2 who slept in the car were the drivers and we needed them to get sleep, so me and my mother had to sleep on the sofa upstairs. We did meet 2 staff/cleaners very early the next morning who shrugged their shoulders, laughed and were not helpful at all. This was literally the worst stay I have ever had in my life.

A neat old building set in a beautiful area surrounded by mountains.
If you have a rental car, this is a great spot to drive out for day trips.
There is no kitchen for cooking, but there is a toaster, microwave, hot water, and a mini fridge.
It has a comfortable hang out and eating spot upstairs.
We were just cold the first night because there were strong winds and the walls were apparently thin!

Cold and Loud.

We arrived at the hotel which is more like a hostel, to no staff and a self check in system. When we opened the room it was freezing with just 2 electric heaters. The shower changed between luke warm, cold and scolding. We were woken at 8am by horrifically loud cleaners, slamming doors and shouting. The property was clean and there was a nice communal area upstairs with access to a fridge/microwave etc. However, would not recommend staying here.
