My stay at the guesthouse was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the self-check-in process was a breeze, and I was pleasantly surprised by the level of cleanliness and the spaciousness of my room. The facilities, including the WiFi and kitchen, were top-notch, and I had no complaints on that front.
However, there were a few quirks that left me feeling a bit unsure. The surrounding farm was somewhat peculiar, but I must admit that I'm not exactly an expert on farming, and I didn't book this place for its agricultural charm.
The absence of any human interaction with the host was a tad disconcerting. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, and a friendly welcome or some local insights would have been appreciated.
One noteworthy detail was the water quality, which had a distinct sulfur smell. While this might be normal for the area, it would have been helpful if the host had mentioned it beforehand.
In summary, the guesthouse had fantastic facilities, but the lack of host interaction and the peculiar farm surroundings left me with mixed feelings. Plus, a heads-up about the unique water scent would have been a considerate touch.
However, all in all, good to very good value for the money.

The host was fine and the helper who let us in was very much appreciated. The only difficulty is that the wifi signal in this part of the world is variable and their well-timed messages had not arrived by the time we got there. Lovely quiet town with a small port and fish-processing plants. There is a fabulous restaurant at one of the hotels and, unusually, a great beer bar in town.

I loved the clean and comfortable rooms, and the shared kitchen was well-equipped and convenient for preparing meals. The location was excellent, close to the beach and the charming town of Sauðárkrókur. The views from the top floor were stunning, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Small, cozy hotel with a really beautifully designed restaurant and really good breakfast (the home-baked bread was delicious!). There is also a hot tub in the back garden. Peaceful location by the sea. We really enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed sauna and hot water tub option on the outside of the buliding.
We found this one standing out in quality comparing to other guesthouses/hotels we visited in Iceland
