Now that I have finished my 12 day tour and stayed at all sorts of guesthouses, this would be 5 star in terms of cleanliness and view. Looking from the adjacent builidngs, location, and exterior, the place doesn't look like much. However, once you enter, it's a beautiful place. Modern and clean with a eating area that has lots of...

Stayed here towards the end of May in room 8 with private washing facilities -cat III. The room was of reasonsble size but I could have enjoyed a little more space. It was warm and very very quiet. The bathroom/wetroom was brand new and was of very high standard. I enjoyed the shower system very much, but it may not... More

This place is abit out of the way, and is surrounded by older farmhouses. The guesthouse itself looks really modern, and it has obviously been designed by someone with taste. The rooms are clean, and the bathrooms are large! One thing to take note of is that the showers do spray a lot of water everywhere, and it will get... More

We stayed here for a night on our way round Route 1. Simply put, this place is where guesthouse meets hotel, and it's a wonderful combination. The staff have the personal touch and the place feels homely, yet the rooms and dining area feel like a much bigger hotel chain, with simple tasteful decor. The free wifi worked perfectly, so...

We spent one night here in March. They might call it a guethouse, but this felt like a hotel to me. The room was warm and clean. The beds were very soft, and the bathroom clean. The guesthouse had WiFi, though the signal was a bit weak in our room. The view from the rooms is excellent. The restaurant was... More

We stayed at Guesthouse Vellir in March 2013. It is very close to Dyrholaey, but be advised that it is about a 10-minute drive to the road to Reynisdrangar, and another 10 minutes to the actual town of Vik. There was some pretty significant wind when we drove in, and lots of snow blowing around. You do have to drive... More

I saw that their set dinner menu was 5900kr. If you have no food, you'll have no choice but to pay up. I would not stay in this guesthouse again. There was no kettle nor cups nor tv. Pathetic compared to other guesthouses we have stayed in the region. The bathroom was a wet mess after a shower because of... More

Breakfast was fresh with a good selection of food. We were here for one night in January but I can imagine the landscape... More

Our first day on the Full Golden Circle tour. Touris booked Guesthouse Vellir for us and we were quite pleased with their choice. Our room had 3 single beds and a private bathroom. Very clean with a beautiful view. We arrived as the dining room was closing but were still able to get a much needed cup of hot tea... More
