Guesthouse Reynir

My friend and I were trying to get to our hotel near Vatnajokull to do the ice caves until the roads turned too icy for our car to continue. We had to turn around and go back to Vik, so I was desperately calling around for a place to stay that night. We found this place, where an absolute gem of a woman answered the phone and said she had a room for around €125. We were just super happy to have a place to stay. When we arrived, she was at the front desk and told us that she has another room open up for €99. This was so nice of her- we had already agreed to €125 and she told us about the cheaper option (which would have made her less money). She gave us our key and the room was very clean and nice. There were also two bathrooms and multiple showers available if you booked the community option. We weren’t very lucky that night, but I’d bet that it would be an incredible place to see the northern lights (I’d never seen so many stars!) Easy five minute drive to the black sand beach- you could even hear the ocean from the balcony. We even called after hours to ask about the wifi password and she was super friendly and more than happy to help (hint: it’s on the back of the key). She made our terrible day so much better, and we would absolutely stay here again.
