The building is keyless and not sure if there is a staff working there. Property needs some TLC in general and doors to the property never close. The parking lot is used by car company so finding parking is difficult. The room (family we selected) was very hot and window opened 2 inches only. It took hours to cool off to the point we could sit in it. Beds and shower were okay, sink faucet was broken and room in general was okay otherwise.

This was meant to be a convenient overnight before a return trip through Keflavik. It may be only a few kilometers from the airport, but in Iceland, it costs $25-30 USD each way. Food at KEF is very limited. A 15 minute walk into town is forbidding when the weather turns - it was quite stormy when we were there.

A guest house is a different kind of accommodation than most in the US, a bit spare and utilitarian. We had the beds needed and a bathroom for our family room. We spent more time than planned in the kitchen area, as there was no common area with comfortable seating. Inexplicably, there was a jail cell at the end of the hall.

We paid for breakfast, which was a Nordic-style buffet. Communication about shuttles was confusing. The main business is around long-term car parking. Only return shuttle to KEF was available.

This stay could be a good fit for those that have a rental car and just need a bed for a night.

I was surprised that the building is literally in a large parking lot. The lot was quite full, and it took some time to find a parking place. The check in was easy, and the receptionist was friendly and helpful. The room was very sparse, but clean. The bed was not made, sheets and blankets were provided, and the bed was comfortable. This was a convenient place to get a few hours' sleep before our early flight.

The accommodations are very clean and check-in was easy even though there was no one at the desk. We did not receive a check-in code because we reserved through hotels.com, so we had to call the guesthouse’s service line to check in upon arrival. The location is a bit strange as the parking lot is used for airport parking, and was completely full. It was hard to find a spot as a guest. The breakfast was too expensive for what it was, so we passed on that.

This property doubles as a long-term parking lot for airport travelers and is surrounded by cars with very limited parking for hotel guests, especially for larger vehicles. Building was definitely not designed as a hotel and the converted guest rooms are very bare bones. More of a hostel feel than hotel. Very overpriced for what you get. We ended up rebooking somewhere else.

DO NOT stay here!!!!! First of all, we arrived to the guesthouse and there was no parking, it was full of cars, i guess they also rent cars there but there should be easier parking for guests. We walk into the guesthouse and it smells like a homeless shelter, feet, and just nasty. We go into the room and the room smells the same, according to the pictures the room we booked had a bathroom but it was only a bed with a sink. We laid down on the bed which was dirty and the walls are paper thin. We decided to not sleep there due to the conditions of the property, on our way back to a different hotel, we couldn’t stop scratching ourselves, i think there is probably bed bugs or something because our scalps were itchy and the nasty smell was all over our clothes. It sucks we are unable to get a refund for this horrible place that has a jail cell!!!! I walked to the stinky bathroom and some creep walked out of there! I repeat don’t stay here,there is either lice or bedbugs!!!!!!

Our room was very small but we were there only for a night and didn’t need much. The common kitchen was great! Spent our evening here meeting others and eating. Everything was very clean! The next morning we had our very early shuttle to the airport! The young man who drove us was polite. All went well! Thank you for a positive experience!

Room was fine for the night. Check in was super easy and staff were helpful. Greatly appreciated the private sink in the room. There was only one chair so there wasn’t much “table” space to put things down on besides the closet or window ledge areas. Communal bathrooms were clean and spacious and there was always one available to use. The communal kitchen’s fridge was my favourite thing since we really needed to refrigerate some foods.
Unfortunately our room had a very weird and strong smell when we arrived and it did not go away the whole night. It did become more mild (though it never went away) after opening the window and door and airing out the place for a many hours. I believe it might be something they used when cleaning the sheets but unsure exactly.

I booked Kef Guesthouse through Expedia and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience.

The listing stated “shared bathroom,” but the photographs and presentation on Expedia did not, in my view, fairly reflect the actual accommodation experience or the communal bathroom setup. We only realized the true nature of the bathroom arrangement after receiving the room/access details, entering the room, and seeing the setup for ourselves.

We were not comfortable staying there. We remained in the room for only approximately 15–20 minutes, did not use the bed, bathroom, towels, or any facilities, and left the room exactly as we found it. Despite this, the property refused to consider any refund, partial refund, or goodwill waiver, relying strictly on the non-refundable booking policy.

I understand that non-refundable bookings have rules, but I was disappointed by the lack of flexibility or consideration given the circumstances, especially where we did not actually use the room or facilities. I would strongly advise future travelers to carefully confirm the exact bathroom arrangement and room setup before booking, particularly if booking through a third-party site. The accommodation may suit some travelers, but it was not what we expected from the listing and was not suitable for us.

I had an amazing experience. I accidentally booked the wrong day, but the man at the front desk was extremely helpful and let me stay in an open room. This was at midnight, and his attitude was great. He also gave me some information about the island, how to get around, and which sites to see. He also shuttled us to the airport the next morning for our scheduled car rental pick up. Amazing amazing staff.
The room itself was spacious and warm with a sink in the room. Everything was very clean and pleasant. I snacked on their free pretzels for breakfast. One of the best stays I’ve had in all my travelling.

There was no airport shuttle and taxi service so I had to download the local rideshare app and then it cost me 35 US to go 2 1/2 miles.

My flight was delayed one more day due to storm and I chose to go elsewhere. I suggest a number for a taxi service rideshare. Place itself is clean and nice but this part of park car so I’m unsure why I didn’t have an airport shuttle

The room it self was warm and spacious. Bathroom had underfloor heating and a good shower. Kids loved the bunk bed. However, the kitchen was under refurbishment and as such there was no breakfast service. Our booking had breakfast included and it was a disappointment that we couldn't have one. There was a table with some food in the hallwa, but no dishes other than a couple of teacups and the same milk cartons we noticed the night before. So we didn't risk it.

I got to Kef Guesthouse after 10 pm on a Sunday night. There was nobody at reception when I got there. I went to the room assigned and tried to punch in the code to get into the room, I finally saw another guest who tried the code and also failed. He led me to reception and finally there was someone there. After looking at my reservation, he determined that I had been sent the wrong room number in my email from Kef. Once in the room, I found a double bed, a small sink, and small closet with two towels. No toilet. I was unaware that there was only one bathroom with a toilet for 14 rooms. Fortunate;y, for me, there was almost nobody staying there then.. My interactions with the staff were very positive. No breakfast was included, but I could pay extra, which worked out to about $14 for continental breakfast, meaning no hot breakfast. There is a shuttle service you can pay for while not cheap, considering the Kef Guesthouse is only 10 minutes from the airport, The taxi to get to the Gueshouse last night was USD 36 for such a short ride! If you don't want bare bones, try somewhere else. If bare bones suits you, this is as good as any. BTW, jets taking off will start waking you at 7 am abnd beyond.

Staff was super friendly to talk to throughout Expedia’s messenger/chat. Had an issue with a flight cancellation and ended up not needing to stay here but wanted to leave a review from my interaction nonetheless. Staff had quickly responded and reserved early morning transportation for me to the Airport, with clear instructions. After learning about the cancellation issue, I informed the staff and while I booked a non-refundable room for the night they were very sympathetic to my situation and also were able to quickly confirm the cancellation of the airport transport. I’m certain this would have been a very budget friendly and convenient place to stay for a few hours overnight while awaiting my next travel. Thank you Staff for your patience, professionalism, kindness and quick responses.

Fist of all- I’m so grateful for this place. Even though I flew in at midnight by myself, it was safe and a very expensive taxi took me straight to the Guesthouse. No one was at the reception desk but there were clear markings to phone someone and they told me exactly what to do and I was in bed within 10 minutes. My room was small but had everything I needed minus a toilet of course. I understood that and I had a great sleep and it was quiet. Breakfast the next morning was interesting. It was like I was showing up at my grandma‘s house and she was still sleeping so I had to fetch for myself which was fine. They had a wide range of food and things so anyone can find something satisfactory and I was most pleased. The bathrooms are very clean And Lukas was particularly kind. He personally helped me find a way to the RKV domestic airport. He was so patient and accommodating. The feel of the place was quite ugly because they also house parked cars for long term parking. This is a great place to crash for a night but the price is way too much for this hostile. If they fixed the rotted out doors from water damage, put up barriers to block the cars or parked them away from the hotel, if they organised the kitchen better and added a hallway rug runner (for noise), and provided free airport shuttle, it would be 5 stars all the way around. .

A decent place to stay for a night before catching a flight from KEF. Shared bathrooms need more hooks to hang clothes and towels!

The room was small but had the essentials. Bathrooms are communal. Showers are nice. It's everything you would expect from a place that is not super expensive yet has most everything essential. Check in is super convenient. You are sent a room number and lock code. Walk in and find your room. Easy peezy

Close to the airport (5 min) was nice. But $350+ for a very soft twin bed and a shared bathroom was excessive. And $37 for a shuttle to the airport is also very pricey given it’s only a 5 min drive

Just a long layover stay

The hotel had emailed me the check in code for my rooms the day before since there isn't a front desk attendant. Check in went smoothly. In that email sent they said there was a charge for breakfast. I almost paid that charge but good thing I waited because the breakfast was barely anything. The hot water for the tea was cold. There was only sliced bread that you can toast and some fruit. Definitely not worth paying for. My advise is being good with you because they do have a microwave. The cleaning lady doesn't speak any English but we were able to communicate enough for her to provide a European plug adapter. The one I had did not fit their plugs. But it was quiet. Only 2 other guests I saw but pretty much empty. Room did get warm enough and shower was hot.

The only pro about the Kef guesthouse is the location in proximity to the airport. The parking lot is also an airport car park, so it is hard to find parking. Our room was dirty - hairs all in the sheets and pillows, dirt/dust all over the floor and night stand. The other guests were very noisy through all hours of the night . The curtains are not blackout, so during the summer it was light in the room all night long. Would not recommend it.

Best part was that it was very close to the airport. Our beds were clean and convenient. We booked room with private bathroom and the bathroom did have an odour, also lacked soap and shampoo which the housekeeping provided on request.

The facilities were nice, and the staff were very helpful. It’s not the Guesthouse’s fault, but transportation from the airport and to anywhere around the area is limited and pricey. I guess that’s just the nature of things there. Otherwise, my needs were satisfied.

The location is very convenient to the KEF international airport. It is about 3 km from the airport. We had a room for four, with a queen bed and two bunk beds for the kids. The beds were comfortable. The room was clean and comfortable, but a little small. We were just there to sleep before our morning flight. The shared bathrooms were clean. It is a car park so there were lots of cars around the building. We did not opt for the breakfast.

Guesthouse provides a stopover for the airport but little else. Reception isn't necessary as the code to the room is emailed in advance. Location is in a carpark on the edge of town with no local facilities. However, the guesthouse is clean and functional and the beds were comfortable.

Bien situé mais bruyant

Situé près de l'aéroport, la majorité des clients quittent l'hôtel tôt, durant la nuit, et malheureusement très bruyamment...
Si le manque de savoir-vivre des clients n'est pas de la responsabilité des propriétaires, un point d'amélioration serait d'améliorer l'isolation sonore des chambres.

good, would stay again.

this guesthouse is in a convenient and good location for the airport with an airport shuttle also! lovely man who took us to the airport.
the facilities such as shower and kitchen were good. beds where comfy and rooms big enough.
the only downfall was the leather headboards were coming apart and the pillows and bed become covered in leather from this which is uncomfortable and itchy.

It is like hostel; nice rooms but shared bathrooms, no amendities, but kitchen that can be used mostly all day; if you just need place to sleep. They rent cars next door, can help with taxi/tours and deliveries. Requavik is 1 hour away, Airport is 15 min away. Amazing views from this hotel.

The room is adequate and it's nice that you get an in-room sink, but there are not toilets in all rooms. All toilets and showers are together, and there are only 3 of them. It is very likely that they will all be in use at the same time, which is frustrating. It would be nice if there was even just one toilet separately to avoid this issue. They are also wet bathrooms, meaning the shower isn't fully enclosed and water gets everywhere. I found it difficult to figure out how to keep my clothes dry and also not track water everywhere after I got out. They provide a large squeegee for the floor, but it was still a challenge. You have to pay for breakfast separately and quite frankly it's not worth the extra cost. They keep refrigerated things (such as cream cheese, juice, hard boiled eggs, etc) in a cooler, which (at least when I was there) doesn't work, so they sit unrefrigerated for hours. I decided that was too risky and went for the shelf stable breakfast items, but again it wasn't really worth the extra cost. There is a large fridge in the kitchen which I used to keep a couple small items cold while I was there. The rooms themselves are adequate but basic; usually there is a TV in most places, but that was not the case here. It wasn't the end of the world, but worth mentioning. Also, it snowed quite heavily right as I was arriving and just outside the entrance door turned to ice. That was not cleared or salted by the time I left, so it was very slick. Stay in Reykjavik.

One of the two rooms booked had a very strong insecticide smell that would not dissipate. Had staff call the owner/manager and did not get any resolution. This greatly negatively impacted our stay, causing lung/airway irritation making it impossible to get rest.

Nice, clean and quaint

I was only here for an overnight layover, but I was very impressed with the room and property.
I arrived into Iceland way too early to check in to the room so I decided to take a taxi from the airport and wait around until I was able to use the emailed code that the hotel sent me to access my room.
While I was waiting, the cleaner asked if there was anything she could do for me and when I said I was just waiting to access my room, she immediately got the assigned room ready and let me enter early. I was extremely tired from an international flight and her kindness was extremely appreciated.
Just because of the shared bathroom situation, I don't know if this is a place that I would stay in for more than just a couple of days, but for my long overnight layover, it was perfect.
They were also able to call me a taxi in the morning which was very helpful.
Overall, a good place for a long layover

Upon arrival when entering our room it smelled so disgusting that I had to call to see if the staff had any spray to make the room smell better( someone had just gone to the bathroom) after 29 minutes someone showed up with spray which was nice. There was no communication with the front desk no one to talk to regarding our breakfast we paid $17 per person. There was a sign that breakfast would be served between 5-10. For what we paid for we were disappointed. Their assortment looked as if they had left it overnight as it was very stale and old looking. I have had many continental breakfast but this was so horrible. This place even had a jail cell, no kidding!!! I should’ve taken a picture. This was a disappointing end to our last night in Iceland. I would highly advise anyone who is looking for a room near the airport to look somewhere else. They even had limited parking as they shared the parking with airport parking. Unbelievable!!!!! Stay away from this one!!!

Convent place to stay the day we arrived in Iceland. At first I thought the heated bathroom floor was a really nice amenity . . . Until we tried to sleep. the room was small enough that that heated floor kept the whole room too hot even with the windows open. Closing the bathroom door helped a little, but it would have been better if we could just turn down the heat.

There isn't a front desk, it's designed as a self check-in property. However, I didn't receive check-in instructions via email so I ended up having to call to find out which room was mine and to get the key code. It is also a busy car park for the nearby airport. So when I arrived there was no where to park.

Very noisy in the hallway late at night.
