Homestays in Eyjafjaroarsveit

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE! Hands down, this was my FAVOURITE place of all the guesthouses I stayed in in Iceland. Heck, I'd come back to Iceland just to make a visit to this place. Where do I even begin with describing why I loved it so much? For starters, the hosts were absolutely splendid. Very hospital and welcoming, very warm and friendly. Thor and Ivar were the cutest couple, like a nice lovely grandma-grandpa duo. They were kind enough to let us use their washer and dryer (which they don't normally do), they chatted with us (about Icelandic politics and economy, about the state of youth, about worldly affairs etc.), shared about their family with us, gave us little bites of food they cooked, prepared an absolutely lovely and homely breakfast for us, gave us roadtrip recommendations... I couldn't bear to leave them :( Secondly, the HOUSE! Goodness gracious me, the house was a real marvel. Ivar had built it from scratch himself (I loved hearing him tell us the story of how he did it), and the worksmanship is truly impeccable! The house was spacious yet warm and cosy at the same time, and the design of the house was very tasteful. You can tell they have really taken care of it, as everything was spick and span, kept in good order, with little pictures and ornaments around from the couple's family, travels, past stories etc. It helps too that the view of the snowy mountains from their house is just incredible! Thirdly, we were so incredibly lucky to have been able to catch the Northern Lights there, which was really the cherry on top. We were also lucky to have been the only guests who booked their house at that time, so we got the whole house and all the facetime with the hosts to ourselves :D Beware, they close for winter, so if you're planning to visit here, go in the warmer seasons!

Amazing view! And welcoming sheeps 😊

The owner was very kind the place was so cozy and the room was so cute!! Would definitely come again!

everything - elisabeth was so friendly and helpful; place was cosy, peaceful and quiet yet close to town; breakfast was superb (amazing homemade granola and granola bar); homemade cookies were delicious! only regret is that we didn't manage to try dinner as we could not book it in time, and that we couldn't stay any longer 11/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone, thank you again elisabeth!

Amazing Fjord and city views in surprisingly spacious studio. Good use of shared hot tub, filled in request by our friendly host. We also saw the northern lights.

Great central location at end of main street. Quiet (we visited in February). Views of the town and mountains. Netflix/prime on TV. Great hot water. Well equipped kitchen for our weekend stay. Cute balcony with fairy lights. Comfy beds. Bakery opposite for breakfast pastries. Walking distance to all sights in Akureyri.

Best place in Aku.

Its in the center

Nicely placed, close to Akureyri and Mývatn. I had not gotten the key box code when I got there, but a quick call to the "reception" solved that issue perfectly. Thanks for the stay!

Comfortable and safe.
