Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.

The house is beautifully restored, tastefully decorated and extremely characterful with a lovely family history. It was great to be able to use the well-equipped kitchen to cook dinner and there was plenty of space in the beautiful living room to eat and relax in the evening, with stunning views over the valley below. Berglind and Finnbogi were very friendly and welcoming hosts.
Great host, they also run a diary farm, got to visit it, perfect with kids. The hot tub was also warm when we arrived, great way to relax after the drive.
This was my favourite stay across Iceland. The guesthouse and rooms are absolutely stunning - feels like a traditional B&B, and you can see family and local history throughout the house too. The location is quiet and peaceful, but still only 10-15min drive to shops, supermarkets, etc.
Since it was the off-season, there were no other guests during my stay, so I had the entire guesthouse to myself. Only stayed one night, but saw the most amazing sunset and woke up to snow the next morning!
Pleseant, cozy and beautiful family guesthouse with super-friendly hosts.
P.S.: thanks for the hint to take the arctic coastway to Akureyri. It was wonderful.
- Perfect way to explore the region
- Amazing owner, very attentive
- Breakfast was very good with homemade bread!
- Very comfortable and charming guesthouse, especially when it’s snowing and windy outside :)
