Helluland Guesthouse

Saudarkrokur

We felt comfortable here right away. The small guesthouse is modern and furnished with love. Especially the kitchen left no wishes open and was completely clean, unlike so many other guesthouses. That there is an island courtyard right next door where you can take guided excursions is an additional plus.

Idyllic, with attention to detail

Our family of 4 really enjoyed our 1 night stay with Helluland Guesthouse, and they have Icelandic Horses right next door! They also have homemade sweaters & other souvenirs, and the most beautiful scenery! We used the kitchen, with plenty of room for guests, to make our meal, and we truly enjoyed the view at the dining room table. The road to come in is a gravel/dirt road, so take your time,  Enjoy!

Icelandic Horses :)

Gorgeous scenery at the front of this old farm house which is now a small hostel with around nine beds. Great base for touring and walking.  Horses everywhere, flowers and berries.  Well equipped kitchen although no instructions as to how to use the ovens or hob.  Some folk are not familiar with these.  We couldn't see a microwave or freezer.  Sunny dining room and small sitting area. We saw that there was a key-safe at the front door but didn't receive a code for it.  Fortunately the door was open when we arrived but we got locked out more than once.  No one came when we rang the bell.  Not the end of the world.  There was a bit of a stampede for the two bathrooms when eight/nine people have morning needs.

Wonderful setting

We spent one night in the guesthouse. We had a room for four people with one very large double bed and two overlapping beds. The room is spacious and comfortable. The whole house is very clean. The kitchen is large, well equipped. The living room and dining room are very cozy. Finally, the location of the house is beautiful and the view is gorgeous. Nearby, there are many horses.

It's a great stay.

Some good things.....

(1) Lovely setting and view
(2) Very clean
Nicely appointed common rooms.

Some bad things

(1) No breakfast or other food and at least 15 minutes drive away from restaurants
(2) Only one tiny bathroom shared by five or so guest rooms.
(3) Smallish rooms
(4) Very reasonable price for what it is.
(5) Decent wifi in common areas--very weak in rooms

If you are expecting a hostel, you will love it.  If you are expecting a hotel, you will be disappointed.  On balance, it is great for what it is, but disappointing for what it is not.

Hard to know what rating to assign

We where staying at Helluland Guesthouse 26.6-28.6.

The room was nice  location good.  I didn't read the email from Helluland sent me well enough about the breakfast(I woke up really early to get breakfast,  no breakfast.  My mistake not reading the email well enough).

But the worst thing, it was really cold days at the soccer tournament in Sauðárkrókur,  but the room we stayed in at Helluland Guesthouse was really really cold, no heat in the room. It really damaged our experience at Helluland and we were not happy to come in a very cold room after long and cold day at Sauðárkrókur watching our daughter in soccer tournament. 

We stayed two nights and both nights was very cold. We had to sleep in warm underwear.

Weekend stay

This lovely horse farm guesthouse is a bit off the beaten path, much to our delight. We enjoyed chatting with our super friendly host, Kristoffer, and wandering along the pastures looking at the horses. Our room was large enough but cozy. Breakfast was typically European, right down to the egg cups for the soft boiled eggs. The house was very clean and we appreciated being able to use the kitchen. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a quiet location. 

A quiet night in the country

Strategic position? In the middle of nowhere. Breakfast? poor. Bath? to take a shower you have to bend your head so you don't bump.

That's it.

The lightland 1 is located outside the city and right next to Icelandhorse Tours (lightland2). The two do not belong together. The Swedish owners themselves are not on site, they probably only come to Iceland over the summer. It is a pity, but does not really matter. The nice staff welcomed us and was always ready for any questions during our stay. It is a typical night on a farm. On the second night we even had the top floor for ourselves. So also the bathroom. The beds are a couch with topper on it. We felt it was very uncomfortable. The breakfast was fine. Wurst, cheese, butter, marmalade, eggs, tea, mustard, fresh vegetables and juice.

Nice location.

Perfect place for riding, birdwatching,fishing, walking in the mountains.
The house has a splendid view over a beautiful bay surronded of mountains.
It is situated  very calm, no trafic at all, end of a little road.
From the house  can  you walk direktly  up in the mountains, whitch for me who are swedish  reminds me of the wilderness in the north of Sweden.
Riding on black lava beach.Birdwatching. Fishing. Aurora,( the northern lights). Highlights of the place!
Friendly atmosphere , you feel that you are at home!
