"The host went above and beyond to help guests in the local area! Our car was stuck in a snow drift about 400 m away from the house, and he drove out at 9pm to rescue us and pull us out of the snow. The accommodations themselves were also fantastic. The kitchen was very well-stocked (with basic breakfast ingredients as well as cooking pots/pans), and we made good use of the washer/dryer!"

"New building. Spacious common area and large sparkling modern kitchen. Including washer/ drier so you can do laundry while preparing a meal. Ready for a large group. Large bedroom and bathroom with shower. The bedroom opens to a deck. There may be a view. All we saw was snow and fog/ cloud. Iceland was having a late winter to mid-April."
"Only minor quibbles. Tricky getting to the property in the snow. Didn’t want to go through a driveway marked Private. The GPS location is accurate. The road was plowed when we left in the morning. Strangely there was no microwave in the kitchen when IIRC it was on the listing. We came prepared for a quick microwaveable dinner and had to cook it on the stove."
"Quiet location Comfortable beds Large common lounge and well equipped kitchen Washing machine"
"Overpriced Lighting in common lounge and kitchen was really dim Uninspired breakfast food"

Karen Dream Guesthouse
"We recently stayed at Eystri-Solheimar for 3 nights. The host Einar and his staff were extremely helpful, attentive, the room was very clean and spaceious, very quiet. The breakfast/coffee was nice. We would stay there again next time if we go. Btw, he can speak Chinese! We wish that we could have seen the northern lights, but that's not Einar's fault, he then sent me some spectacular pictures from his phone as a compensation. :)"
"Space enough for 3 luggage, shared kitchen is good to use and the goose and sheep and dogs and cats are just lovely and the sunrise and sunset view are definitely the highlight of this guesthouse!"
