This was the best place we visited in Iceland.  Everyone was very friendly and efforted to make our stay enjoyable.  We went on a 2 hour horseback ride through incredible landscape with tremendous views.  The ride was more challenging than the ride we took near Reykjavic because the terrain was more challenging (and interesting), up and down hills, across rivers and through pastures - well worth it.  And it was just the three up us with two guides (including our host).  Dinner was delicious and ample.  One of the best meals we had in Iceland.  The location is beautiful, slightly remote, and quiet.

Beautiful location, helpful hosts, delicious food

Very nice, honest and quiet place to spend few days out of your world. Clean, comfortable and spacious rooms, a jacuzzi. Nice people. Agricultural and natural surroundings. Don't be afraid of the final part of the road to farm, it's not that bad.

Great place to stay!

We loved the location, surrounded by sheeps and horses. It's a cost and peaceful place. Rooms are spacious and the view is amazing. Host is also very knowledgeable about Iceland. Nothing negative to say :)

We enjoyed our stay, and Kari was interactive and helpful giving a short tour and answering our questions.  The dog was friendly and enjoyed being pet.  We enjoyed the peace and quiet, with our fellow guests shy and low key. The location was in a favorable spot between the Golden Circle and we went to the south coast the day we left.  On a break, we explored down Rt 32, which featured a site where you took a left off the road (look for the 4 clover leaf sign, used to denote scenic attractions in Iceland) and climbed a hill to park (with a P sign to designate where to park), where a short, steep climb to the top was rewarded with remarkable panoramic views.

Pleasant stay

Steinsholt is the true Icelandic experience. There are farms, farmhouses, animals & locals living here. The guesthouse is beautifully decorated. The rooms are huge & so is their kitchen. The owner is very dedicated & nice. They offer free breakfast as well which is hard to find at this price in Iceland. Staying at Steinsholt is truly an experience. It is recommended that you spend at least a night here! :)

The Authentic Icelandic Stay

The roads leading up to the guesthouse, like many in Iceland, were atrocious... but once we got there it was such an adorable little place. We had stayed in hostels the few nights before and needed a place to crash halfway through our golden circle jaunt and this place was perfect!! The room was bright and open with a cute armoire to House our coats. What was really great was we were right across the hall from the bathroom and the kitchen. Kitchen was equally clean and pleasant that came fully stocked with utensils, plates, glassware, cookware, stove and fridge! The bathroom was spacious and very clean. What really put them as five stars for us was not only the proximity of it being centrally located but the hosts were incredibly friendly and made a super cute breakfast for all guests in the morning. I would highly recommend staying here, you’ll surely get the rest and relaxation you deserve!

Absolutely wonderful stay!!

Clean and spacious en-suite room (the place also offers cheaper shared bathroom options), friendly and helpful owners, all-you-can-eat breakfast, clean and well equipped shared kitchen, which is very useful if you're self-catering. Not much to do around the house, but plenty of sightseeing opportunities a short drive away. Very comfortable place to stay in for a night or two. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Guesthouse Steinsholt!

I so wanted to give this place a 5-star rating, but there were a few things that worked against it. First of, the good things. It's a good central location for sightseeing on the southern coast and the western coast. The room was very nice and clean. The owners were very friendly and accommodating and the dog was awesome. He hiked with us everywhere! The dinner were excellent. They are all home-cooked on-site and there is a wonderful selection of sides with two main dishes presented. Very good. Definitely 5-star in that area. The breakfast, though nice, was the typical European breakfast though it was a bit lacking. But it was all good. There is no TV in the room, which was fine for us because we only slept there anyway. They could use another trash can in the room. The bathroom was nice but the sink was rather small and one tends to hit their head on the glass shelf over the sink when you bend down. Pillows were a bit flat also. The roads leading up to the guesthouse off of the main road are all dirt and in bad shape. Many, many potholes that will shake and bounce your rental car all over the place. Signs are plenty, however, and you won't get lost. The area around the guesthouse is very pretty with lots of options for walking around. They have a large hot tub with very hot water but it is just a hot tub with no bubbles. It was nice to sit in it at 2230 when it was still light after a long day. Bring house slippers with you because you have to take your shoes off and leave them at the front door and then you have nothing to wear when you go for dinner or breakfast. It was very quiet though they don't have dark curtains so during those months when it is light out for almost the entire day, it can be a bit tricky to sleep. We would certainly come back here and stay again when we return to Iceland if we were to revisit the areas we have already seen. If you plan on visiting anything in the far western areas or the north, it would be best to book something in those areas as the distances are further than one would think on an island. I do believe that the best thing about this place was the price. You can't beat it compared to other places on the island.
