  Five days in heaven.

  Liked : The hosts Ausa and Gaga made me feel like family-in a good way :). They even offered to drive and pick me up to most any part of the island at anytime. The house was very comfortable and I had the best room-large especially for Iceland and it overlooked the water. Stay here if you come to Grimsey! Grab a room if it's available they go quick. Heard it's the best guesthouse on the island

  Puffins Puffins Puffins. We had a delightful stay on a beautiful island.

  Liked : Àslaug and Gagga are wonderful hosts. I was told the only rule is to call them if I have any questions. We were met at the ferry so we didn’t need to carry our bags on the 1 KM walk to the guesthouse. We were offered rides to the settlement and the lighthouse.

  Amazing island and accommodations

  Liked : Such wonderful hosts, so kind and generous. Excellent breakfast. Great ocean views and as a bonus, whales! We were lucky with mild relatively dry weather.
  We really do hope to come back.

  A wonderful stay with brilliant hosts, cozy comfort, and breathtaking views in Grímsey

The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for exploring the island and ensuring we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The location is perfect for experiencing the tranquility and raw beauty of Grímsey, with easy access to local wildlife and the iconic Arctic Circle.

  Absolutely loved our time here!

  Liked : We absolutely loved our stay here. Gagga was at the ferry dock to pick us up and had delicious soup waiting for us at the house. The house was very clean and comfortable. We brought our own food for dinner but Gagga did offer to cook for us. She had breakfast ready for us in the morning. You can easily walk to the arctic circle sphere from the house. The airport is next door (there is not frequent air traffic so it is not noisy). We would love to return here someday.

  Disliked : Nothing

  We would be happy to stay at this guesthouse in the future. The small airport is adjacent.

  Liked : This guesthouse on Grimsey Island is run by an exceptional family. We were picked up at the ferry with our luggage and transferred both directions. Once on the island they will drive guests a short distance to town, or the lighthouse. No car is necessary while on Grimsey Island. Breakfast was good and were the public areas.

  Disliked : Beware that when booking a Twin Room, Room #3 is to small for 2 people. When we booked we were not given a choice of which Twin Room we would receive. The other rooms are larger than the tiny Room 3. Room 3 needs to have a mirror and and trash bin added to it.
