House on the hill

Fantastic stay! The caretaker was really welcoming and helpful. He offered us their best room even though we had ordered a smaller one. The view of the mountains from the window was amazing and the town is very cute. 
Would recommend to a friend

Very Nice place and Nice host. Cheap Price and beautiful room nothing missing

Great location, easy to find, super clean and the staff was amazing. The attendant greeted us outside of the property and gave us a quick tour. I highly recommend this stay! 10/10

Very clean and neat property. The corner rooms are a bit larger. Bathrooms are shared on each floor and are spotless. Same goes for kitchen facilities ( no stove but there is a microwave). I would ask for a room on second floor as the rooms next to the kitchen may be noisier if there are people preparing food at night/early morning. Friendly staff.

Great space with lots of amenities. 30-60 minute drive to the glaciers and the waterfalls.

The staff were very warm and very service oriented. The room (main building) was terrific with a great view of glaciers. Showers and toilets are spotless and clean.

We were given a nice, spacious room and also had access to a well equipped kitchen

We got the whole hotel to ourselves, we were in Iceland in low season, it was great.

Meet by the host, shown where everything was located, Very clean and nice looking. Great nite sleep

We stayed here for one night; they were able to accommodate our late check-in after I called ahead. Someone met us at the door and showed us around. The place was very clean. Our room was big enough to lay our our suitcases. Not having stayed in many places with shared bathrooms, I was a bit worried; however, the night we stayed there were only 2 other people so there was no issue. There were several parking spaces right in front of the building.

Nice, clean guesthouse

We were there in February. Unfortunately, we never had time to see the town and spent only one night here, but it was very cozy and charming. It was very clean, we felt very safe, and it was quiet. There is a shared kitchenette/dining room and a shared bathroom, but none of this caused any problems for us. There is a refrigerator and each room is assigned a shelf for your own food, and there is a grocery store across the street. Should we return to Iceland, we would want to stay here again.

Cozy and charming

We had an overnight stay here on a Monday night.  There were no other guests booked for the night we were there, so we were upgraded to two of the nicer rooms.  Having the place to ourselves, we enjoyed the night by playing cards in the common area and sneaking out to take in the Northern Lights at one point.  The rooms were clean and comfortable.  The showers took a little getting used to - they have big glass doors that are flush with the floor, so the first person in usually left the floor a bit wet.  The refrigerator has spaces designated for each room.  The kitchen area didn't have amenities for any real cooking, but they had all the coffee and tea you could wish for, which was perfect for us.  A real great spot for the price.

Home away from home

We stayed for just one night and it was good for that. We stayed in the apartment which was very big. Lots of space for multiple people. Kitchen was nice - we didn’t cook but it would have been a great kitchen to do so in. Downside was the shower - it didn’t really drain so you have to keep shutting it off to let it drain, then turn the water back on and continue showering. Hair dryer also didn’t work - and having wet hair in Iceland in October is not ideal.

Overall good

This was my favourite guesthouse in Iceland. The room was large and modern, we were in the main house, I have seen reviews for the other economy house, they don’t look great, I recommend the main house. Bathrooms are beautiful with heated floors. Kitchen was very clean, only downside, no hot plates to cook on, only a microwave.

Great guesthouse!

Shared bathrooms (one between two rooms) were not an issue even with a full house. Bathrooms are modern, heated and cleverly designed to maximise space.
The rooms are fresh, clean, spacious and inviting. 
The hosts have created a great culture of being mindful and respectful of shared spaces. 
Views from the top floor rooms are outstanding (even watched the Aurora form inside our cosy room).
There are wide stairs to the upstairs rooms. While no stovetop in the kitchen there is microwave and others small appliances. Each room has a shelf in the shared fridge with adequate space.
Congratulations to our hosts, best accomodation in Iceland so far, wish we could have stayed longer.

Room with a view to die for

Room was good. Kitchen was well equipped and location was excellent as you could walk to the local hot pool and all restaurants easily including shopping and grocery. Would have been nice to have a back up wc for the one that was shared by 3 rooms was stretched during the peak periods. Staff that owned and ran the hotel was friendly. TV and Wi-Fi was very good.

When my wife and I saw it was to be another Guest House stay, we almost looked around for a hotel alternative (since some of our experiences in guest houses have not been very good). But once we got inside House on the Hill, we were glad that we didn’t act on that impulse. A two-story Annex is situated beside the main house, which is where our room was situated. We were very impressed with the size of the room, and with the pair of modern shower and toilet areas on the same second floor. The house shared a common kitchen and dining area on the main floor, with the kitchen primarily serve by a microwave (but no conventional stove/oven) as well as a dishwasher. All manner of plates, dishes, pots, pans, and silverware were available for the common use. The beds were very comfortable, as were the pillows, and the building itself was remarkably quiet, all providing for a very good night’s sleep. The location itself is very desirable, in so far as it is situated close to the glacier and all the opportunities for adventure that are associated with it. Would we stay there again if we found ourselves in the area? Absolutely!

A friend and I stayed here for a single night during our trip around Iceland. The accommodations were very nice, everything was clean, and even though we didn't use the kitchenette, it appeared to have all of the essentials (plates, silverware, electric kettle, etc.). The only real negative to the experience was with a loud group of other guests, not the property itself. Sounds echoes very easily and a conversation held in the kitchen area felt like it was being held inside the bedroom. This was especially annoying when a loud group of people decided cooking at 9pm was appropriate. Overall, the accommodations are great, but a disrespectful group can ruin the experience. Nice area around the house too!
