6/10 Okay

The property was older and had an odour. It was overpriced for the room especially as it did not include breakfast. Breakfast was also expensive.

Indira, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property is perfectly located. It’s nothing fancy but with the prices the way they are in Iceland. I think this is just perfectly lovely. The room has twin beds, sink, and mirror, storage for your bags, a chair , nightstands, and a hot pot with teabags and coffee cups. It has a shared bathroom and a shower in the bathroom.There is a very nice dining room. I wish we had not brought so many groceries and had eaten in the dining room for me to be able to give a review. They do have a small group refrigerator and microwave. If you fly into Reykjavík one day, the Guest house is just the right distance. The next warning we got up and went horseback riding Vik, then explore the black beach and there are so many other places to go down south.
Libbi, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good distance from Vik as well as the ferry. We were disappointed that there were no common dining facilities to eat our dinner as the dining room was only open at breakfast if you paid to get their breakfast. No food allowed in the common tv room either. There is a fridge and microwave but not dishware so bring some if you intend to eat your own food. Room and bathrooms are clean and comfortable and the sink in the room was convenient. The hostess was very nice!
Jonathan & Vanessa, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Guesthouse Vellir is a hostel that I only ventured into the hallway where my room was. I’m not sure how many rooms, but in my hallway, there were 11 with 2 bathrooms. The room I was in was ok, but definitely not great. The bed was not very comfortable, though better than some I have slept in. The area is fairly quiet, but a bit far from the road. The woman running the hostel is quite nice and very welcoming.

Nancy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Definitely would recommend staying here

The establishment was clean and the staff were very friendly. The room was plenty big enough with a private bathroom and shower and the bed was very comfortable. This guesthouse has that at home feeling which was nice
Adam, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I chose the property because it said breakfast was included and there was a restaurant on the property. There was no breakfast or restaurant. They had an area for it but is was closed down. The walls were thin. I could here the person in the next room snoring all night. Closest town was about 15 to 20 minute drive. The online pictures were a little deceiving.
