My friend and i had the best time. We stayed in unit 8 down stairs. Had a private bathroom. Breakfast both days was delightful. Overall, i wish every place that i have and will stay was as great as this.

Would not wish to stay more than one night
The room was in the basement and thou had a window, smelled damp and stale, so did the bed and sheets. Our hair and clothes actually became stinky after a night in the bed. The bathroom door was really difficult to close and open without making a loud noise and much effort. Breakfast was decent. Lady owner was easy-going. The price we paid for a room like that was quite atrocious.

Habitación amplia y buen desayuno
La habitación era amplia y tenía una pila, pero el baño era compartido, ya lo sabíamos. No tuvimos problema con el baño compartido. La cama blanda como en el resto de Islandia, es algo cultural. La señora que tenía que hacer el check in se retrasó y nos juntamos allí 5 parejas esperando en la puerta.

Sitio con encanto
Todas las instalaciones están muy limpias. Cogimos habitación con baño y este era amplio. Eso sí, solo proporcionaron una toalla de baño y una de lavabo para los dos. Tampoco había gel ni champú. De todos modos estoy seguro de que si lo hubiéramos pedido nos lo habrían dado porque la mujer que regentaba la casa era muy amable. El desayuno era muy cortito. El entorno maravilloso. Súper tranquilo. Aparcamiento en la puerta de la casa.

The host was very pleasant and helpful and greeted us right as check in time started. Lovely breakfast included with the booking. Just a short walk away from all of the restaurants, stores, and natural wonders of Vik.

The hostess was the best of our two weeks in Iceland, and we had the best night's sleep there too. She was helpful and funny and seemed to enjoy spending time chatting with us. The building is old, but well maintained, nevertheless there were a couple of quirks, like how the room lock worked. Breakfast was good.

Nice little guest house in a great location! Owner was very friendly and so were the other guests. There is so much to see in the area, and Vik is a great little town.

This was a very lovely guesthouse. I booked only a few days before arriving so I had some issues with arriving and I was not able to access my room. But besides that everything was very nice, it's in a good location close to food. I booked the room with the private bathroom and my room was very clean. They provide towels and a hair dried which was convenient. The host is very nice would highly recommend a stay here, and will certainly be coming back on my next trip to Vik!!! :)

Correct
Accueil très sympa de la propriétaire qui nous a accueillis plus tôt que prévu car il tombait des cordes. Par contre les chambres auraient besoin d’un rafraîchissement... Bon petit déjeuner compris dans le prix.
