We arrived late, after midnight. We had phone problems so couldn't call. I was worried that we would show up with no one to check us in. But not to have worried as there was a friendly, helpful, smiling man waiting for us. The rooms are clean and cheerful. Shower was good with plenty of hot water. We didn't eat... More

We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and made to feel very much at home. The rooms are tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. Because of the locale which is some distance from other eating establishments , while dining there wewere very impressed with the quality of the food. Although it was early in the season and there were only a... More

We staid for one night in this guesthouse. The room was small but nice. The bathroom was clean. We had the impression of staying in a hotel and not in a guesthouse. The dinner was to expensive. It was 50euros p.p. Their wasnt a menu with the price.

The farm is located very... More

Small, but nice rooms (we got one with our own bathroom even though we just reserved one with shared), friendly people and decent food (although a bit expensive). Great view on Hekla and Eyafjallajökull. The owner also gave nice tips for our trip the next day.

This is the quintessential farmhouse in Iceland. It oozes charm - so much so that I actually stayed an extra day just to soak up all the ambiance. It was just an added bonus that there were James Dean photo decorations seeing as I am from Indiana (this Rebel Without a Cause actor's home state). Note: I had this farmhouse... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here from one night as we traveled along the ring road. We had an enjoyable stay at Vatnsholt and would not hesitate to stay there again. We had a double room with an ensuite bathroom. The room was simple, a bit on the small size, but clean, comfortable and cozy. As with any B&B style... More

Stayed here one night. Solid place. Nice rooms (quaint). Very quiet. Great large dining area with table tennis tables. Was heavy rain the day and night i was there so i mostly sat in my room and read a book. Didn't have any problems with the service, the staff friendliness nor the food. Would stay here again.
