Homestays in Northeastern Region, Iceland

The location to the main town is close. There is a cafe within 3-5 minutes walk for breakfast or coffee. There are goods and bads to this place. The beds are comfortable. There is a laundry service available which is 3000 isk per machine load wash/dry. The breakfast is fairly large considering. Here are my complaints. We had the 3 bed on the first floor. Everyone coming in and out slams the front door to get it to close. This was still going on at midnight. The guests above us were up talking loudly until 1a. This would be my biggest complaint. You can here very noice in the place. They ask you to be considerate of others, but people aren’t. If you have trouble sleeping, this may not be the place for you. We found the shared bathrooms to be fine. We never really had to wait for the shower or the bathroom. On day 1 we were asked what time we wanted breakfast as it was included in our price that we paid.and we said 8a. The first morning it showed up 10 minutes late which was not a big deal. On the second day we waited until 8:30 and did not receive breakfast and then had to leave due to getting on the road. She did send a message through *********** saying she had been knocking on our door trying to bring breakfast. We were up at 6:30 and in the room by 715 after showers. We found the breakfast thing to be disappointing. Why ask why what time we want breakfast if you aren’t going to be close to the time. The message they sent us though the app was 9:08a. An hour after it was supposed to be delivered. I would not stay here again mainly because of the noise outside your room

We only visited Akureyri for 2 nights but this Guesthouse was in an excellent location, all attractions were within walking distance and you had restaurants and bars literally at your door. The room was quite large and we had a private bathroom which was good. There is a large common room on the 4th floor that is fully equipped and has all you need to cook meals and relax. It was a good place to stay, only downside was no lift and no air-conditioning so the room was quite warm.

Upon arrival at the apartment, the reception is no longer staffed. On the door hangs a phone number where you can reach the apartment. The person on the other side of the phone first asks us why we do not use the code that we should have received by e-mail. Checked E-Mail Account - mentioned E-mail missing. According to the apartment, this would be sent two days in advance. Since we had not booked two days in advance - impossible. So now checked in by phone, everything ok. On to the first real point of criticism. When opening the room door, a strong smell hits you, which tries to cover the bathroom smell - long airing with a wide open window creates some relief. When checking the bed, one finds reddish, brownish stains on the bed cover - very unattractive. We were accommodated in room 25. The location is unfortunately unfavorable. The room gets the full street noises. Now to our biggest point of criticism: from about 00:30am until after 02:00am, an Asian tour group turned night into day! The hotel cannot be held responsible for human stupidity and antisocial behavior such as door slamming, loud talking and laughing in the corridors. Such behavior can unfortunately happen anytime and anywhere, but an entrance door that slams into the lock so loudly every single time that everyone in the hotel must hear it and you are always startled out of your sleep is simply unacceptable. Last but not least, the tour group had finished their party - thank goodness, and you thought peace would turn in, the small refrigerator inside the room started up. Humming loudly, it wouldn't let you fall asleep for another perceived eternity. All in all, this was unfortunately the worst and most nerve-wracking accommodation of our 15-day Iceland tour so far. We can not recommend this apartment, nor would we come back again.

Myself and my partner were booked to stay here from a Saturday evening through until Monday afternoon. This was the longest we were staying anywhere on our journey around the country, mostly enticed in by the promise of whale watching and the JaJa Ding Dong cafe and Eurovision experience. It would be fair to say that this was to be the absolute highlight of our holiday and the main reason that we’d decided to holiday in Iceland. On arrival, there were no staff present and our room key was on the front desk for us to collect. First impressions of our room were good. It was large, very warm and the huge bed was very comfortable. However, when looking for a plug socket, I found that the floor was coated in a thick layer of dust and dirt in the corners. We also noticed that there was only one tea bag and no cups in our room for us to use. Undeterred, as British people in need of a tea fix, we left our bags in the room and excitedly hurried next door to JaJa Ding Dong, only to find an upside down sign in the window stating it was ‘closed until further notice.’ Everywhere we looked online said it was open, we weren’t notified by the staff that there was an issue with the cafe and we couldn’t find any clues as to why it was closed or when it might reopen. Come the following morning, we realised that the closure meant there was now nowhere to have breakfast. Most of the places in town were closed as it was Sunday. We’d also not had the greatest nights sleep as the heating was on full blast all night with no way to turn it down. I also had to shower with the door open as the bathroom had become unbearably hot. To continue our run of bad luck, our whale watching trip got cancelled (we know that is in no way the fault of the hotel) and that led us to decide to cut our losses and leave Husavik by Sunday lunchtime. Overall, we had a very disappointing stay and probably wouldn’t return. Husavik seems like a lovely town though.

1. The front desk and breakfast are close to their dairy factory. The living environment of the cows inside is very clean and the staff take good care of them. 2. The room is located in a row of log cabins across the road, which is very comfortable. 3. Breakfast is great 4. The girl at the front desk was very polite and patient.

Guesthouse in ottima posizione, pulita, camere accoglienti. Un paio di suggerimenti: è difficile effettuare il check in - è obbligatorio chiamare al momento dell'arrivo. Orario di check in non chiaro, sul sito riporta ora 6 PM, la casa riporta 4 PM, al telefono dicono 5 PM... Per il resto tutto bene, consiglio la visita.

Stayed there as a family for four nights and the two girls that were running this place where so hospitable. Their service was very good. We have a 19 month baby girl and we came a little bit early, called them and asked for a early check in. No problem. When we arrived almost everything was ready with a children´s bed and everything. Our doughter has allergic to eggs and milk and they custom made breakfast for us. I myself ate the buffet and it was really good! The bed was good and the room that we got was separate from the main building, it had a sink in it and a desk. You can hear commotion if somebody is opening doors but its ok. There was 2 toilets both with showers, everything clean and a small kitchen where you could cook, store your food in the fridge and eat at a table. I accidentally broke an bottle opener and told them about it and they just brought me a new one. I promised to buy a new one but I totally forgot it. I recommend this place, especially if you have kids. Just let them know beforehand and they will take good care of you.

· Updated but simple. Liked how the toilet and shower are separate. Warmed floors in shower and toilet areas. My room had its own sink. Has shoes off policy. Extremely comfortable bed. Crisp white sheets. Very helpful front desk in the morning. All rooms on the ground floor. It was located right in the middle of a camping ground and pizza parlor! The location itself serves its purpose in the Myvatn area. It was one of the more expensive places where I have stayed during my 19 day trip. The pillowcase was dingy...didn’t quite match with the sheets. My outgoing mail WiFi didn’t work although could receive messages.

Picturesque setting a stone's throw from a scenic lava beach walk and only a few kilometers from Husavik where several good restaurants, cafes and whale watching await. Clair and Merrit went out of their way to ensure that our needs were met including doing some laundry...above and beyond any call of duty. My Icelandic horse ride along the coast was a delight. Breakfast w.as healthy and very tasty and coffee/tea was available 24/7. A perfect 5 night stay.
