Skutustadir

Came here with my friends. There is currently some updates being made to the property but it wasn’t a problem. Adalsteinn showed us around the guesthouse and is super friendly. 

Our room was very clean, and I could have sworn there is a nice pine smell. The beds are firm and comfortable. There was also a sink in the side in the corner. 

There are 2 washrooms and a shower room, which were clean. The shower room has a good amount of space to hang your belongings and to get dress. 

Adalsteinn was super helpful and recommended places for us to visit in Husavik, and where to eat. Breakfast was also set up and ready by 8. Good breakfast. 

I would say the highlight of the stay was that you can see the aurora borealis and stars from the back during a clear night.

Clean, and friendly owners

While on a 10-day Ring Road drive around Iceland, three of us booked one night here.  We were met by the owner, a friendly and helpful gentleman.  Our room had three single beds, was pleasantly decorated, and had a nice view of the countryside.  

Everything in the room looked, felt, and smelled clean as a whistle.  The bed was firm but very comfortable, and the small sink in a corner came in handy for nighttime sips of water.  Everyone slept very well in this quiet, rural guest house.  

The shared bathroom was well-planned and spotless.  The shower was completely separated from the rest of the bath, and featured a private modern shower with plenty of hot water.  The two toilet stalls are super private, with walls and doors that completely protect the modesty of the occupants.  Two sinks complete the shared bath.  

There is a shared living-dining room with large windows and comfortable furniture.  A hot tub is available for guests, but we did not use it. 

Breakfast the following morning was great.  Typical Icelandic foods such as an assortment of breads, fruit, cereal, and beverages.  There are small kitchen appliances, including a refrigerator,  and kitchen ware for guests to use too, a nice touch.  While we ate, the owner chatted with us about Icelandic gardening, asked what our plans were, and offered suggestions for sightseeing along our route.  We followed his sage advice and were very grateful that he suggested those places.  

If you're looking for a quiet, clean place with warm and welcoming hosts, you found it.  If we're ever fortunate enough to return to this beautiful corner of Iceland, we will definitely stay here again.

Loved this place!

One of my favorite places I stayed during my trip.  I was greeted as soon as I arrived and also was shown the entire house by the host.  The house includes a very nice dining/living room area and a small nook for preparing tea or hot chocolate and also a small fridge for food storage. My room was spacious with a double bed and sink inside the room.  The bathroom area is shared, but has two separate toilets and one shower, and I never had a problem waiting. The house is super clean, homey, and welcoming. The breakfast being included is a nice touch!

Excellent stay and welcoming host

Comfortable room, great host, close to restaurant and not too far from the Nature Baths.  This is our favorite place to stay in Iceland, and we will for sure be back.  The breakfast is traditional Scandinavian style - fresh and tasty.  The shared bathroom was more private than I imagined - two toilet stalls with separate full doors inside a larger bathroom that includes a double sink and a shower with it's own door.  It was not a problem at all.  This is a great place to have as your base while you explore the less touristy parts of Iceland.

By far our favorite place to stay in Iceland

At Laugar, heading west, you turn off the Ring Road to the right, and when you get to the sign board just over the stream you go right again down a dirt road to the end - and there it is. Quiet, cosy, nice. A hot tub (only just warm) is outside and great as long as the wind is not blowing. Nice host with lots of info about Icelandic and local history. Good beds, hot showers, (rooms are small) with a large dining/lounge area. No cooking food preparation but toaster, microwave, jug, coffee maker, cutlery and plates are available. The prepared breakfast was simple but nice and plentiful. We liked it.

Pleasant out of town experience

We stayed one night in this newly renovated guesthouse with shared bathroom. It is very lovely, though a bit hard to find (look out for the bright blue house with flower garden). The materials used for the renovation are of high quality and gives this place a warm atmosphere. The rooms are small, but totally sufficient with a double bed and a sink. The bathroom is shared with the other rooms and consists of 2 toilets a sink and a shower. Everything is very clean and nicely decorated.
The host is great! He is very welcoming, friendly and funny and likes to answer all your questions about Iceland. We definitely recommend this place!

Nice guesthouse with great host

We had 2 nights IN CJA it is a quiet farm house out of town and we were very pleased with everything. The owners, the room, the shower the breakfast and the location which is perfect for the diamond circle: Myvatn, Husavik, Asbyrgi, Dettifoss and all in between. there is no option to cook your own dinner but you have the option to use boiled water for a soup or noodles, there is an excellent coffee machine and a small hot pool in the backyard we were also lucky to have a great view of the northern light - highly recommended.
