    I had a wonderful stay at a charming guesthouse in the countryside. The hosts were incredibly warm and friendly, coming to our rescue when our car got stuck and even calling for help on our behalf. I really appreciated their assistance. The breakfast they served was absolutely delicious, and I would highly recommend it. The room and kitchen were well-equipped, and the bed was very comfortable. Plus, we were lucky enough to witness a stunning display of the northern lights right on site. I loved my time here and would definitely return.

    Nothing negative to say 😊

    During our Christmas stay at this guesthouse, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm hospitality and the delicious breakfast that was offered. the fresh eggs from the farm were a delightful addition to the spread. We also enjoyed the presence of the friendly animals, such as chickens and lambs, on the small farm.

    That our room was a bit small, although it did have all the necessary amenities including a small sink. Another drawback was the lack of a restaurant on the premises, which made it a bit inconvenient to find a place to eat after a long day of exploring the area.

    The location of the hotel was perfect for our city break, as it was close to the black sand beach and the Arcanum Glacier Tours Basecamp. We were able to visit these attractions before the crowds arrived, which was a huge advantage. the staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. They made our stay enjoyable and went out of their way to assist us with our needs. - It was great to have the option to have dinner at the hotel's restaurant, as there weren't many dining options in the area. This was particularly convenient for us as we were looking for a secluded location for our getaway.

    The kitchen facilities were not up to our expectations. We were hoping for a gas stove, but unfortunately, it wasn't available.

    Our stay at Solheimahjaleiga Guesthouse was absolutely amazing! The value for money was outstanding, the rooms were comfortable and clean, and the location was perfect for exploring Skogafoss, the crashed airplane, and Vik diamond beach. The staff, especially the Polish lady, were incredibly kind and professional, providing us with useful information and tour recommendations. The breakfast spread was delicious, with homemade cheeses, jams, and other goodies.

    We got great value for our money, with a modern room and comfortable bed. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

    The hotel breakfast menu could be improved with some light music playing in the background.

    The value for money was excellent, with a spacious and airy room. The location was ideal for our road trip, situated just 20 minutes away from Vik. The staff at the Guesthouse were incredibly kind and attentive, even going above and beyond to immediately arrange an extra bed for us when we accidentally booked for one person instead of two.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved with a wider variety of options.

    We had a fantastic Christmas stay at this guesthouse in Solheimahjaleiga. The beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The breakfast was delicious and offered a variety of options that catered to different tastes. We also appreciated the shared living room and kitchenette area, where we could relax and enjoy a meal together with our friends.

    Although we had an overall enjoyable stay, there were a couple of drawbacks. we noticed that the insulation in the rooms was not great, as we could sense the wind passing through the windows.

    During our stay at a quiet and comfortable room booked through Iceland tours, we enjoyed the peaceful countryside surroundings and got to observe Snipe and Redwing in the garden. The well-insulated rooms ensured a peaceful night's sleep. The homemade egg & tuna paste for breakfast was a highlight, and the friendly hosts made us feel welcome. The idyllic farm setting added to the charm.

    I had a fantastic stay at this Nordic-style guesthouse. The room was spacious and immaculately clean, with comfortable beds. The common area was cozy, perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea. The dinner I had was delicious, and the breakfast had everything I could ask for. The breathtaking location beneath the Sólheimajökull glacier offered incredible views. I highly recommend this guesthouse.

    We had a wonderful stay at this cozy farm B&B in the heart of the Southeast. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring that we felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The homemade breakfast was excellent, offering a delicious spread of fresh and tasty options. We also had the pleasure of dining at the on-site restaurant, where we indulged in exceptional dishes, including the mouthwatering homemade bread and the amazing locally raised lamb. The location of the guesthouse was perfect, as it allowed us to easily explore the surrounding area and visit iconic sights such as the DC-3 on the black sand beach. The farm atmosphere added an extra touch of charm, and we even got to check out the sheep in the barn. The rooms were clean, modern, and well-designed, providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Free, strong Wi-Fi was a plus as well. we highly recommend this B&B and plan to return for a longer stay in the future.
