The kids were thrilled to see the majestic creatures up close and it was a truly memorable family experience.
My children wanted more outdoor activities for families with children.

The location was peaceful and quiet, away from the noise of the city. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable with cozy bed linen. The WiFi worked without any issues.
The hot water in the bathroom took forever to warm up, making me wait every time I wanted to take a shower. The access to the hotel from the main road was confusing, with no clear directions provided.

The large and comfortable seating areas were a great feature of this accommodation. It was a nice alternative to staying in a fully booked town. The self check-in process was easy to use and convenient, allowing us to arrive at our desired time. Plus, the spacious kitchen with plenty of dishes made cooking a breeze.
The occasional presence of flies in the kitchen, which made cooking a bit annoying. there were not enough bathrooms for the number of rooms and guests, causing occasional wait times.

I recently stayed at a hostel near Husavik, which turned out to be a great choice for backpackers like me. The spacious common areas provided plenty of comfortable seating options and a fully equipped kitchen. The shared bathrooms were clean and readily available, and there was even a laundry room for those in need. Additionally, the self check-in process was effortless, allowing guests to arrive at their convenience.
There were some noisy guests who disrupted the peacefulness of the hostel during late hours, which could have been more considerate.

We had a fantastic stay at a large house with comfortable seating areas, several shared bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. the view of the farm and mountains from the living room was breathtaking. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the self check-in process was easy. It was a great alternative to the fully booked guesthouses in town. the kitchen was nicely equipped, and the bathrooms were clean. The peaceful and quiet location on a farm was perfect for a relaxing stay. Cons: Nothing, it was perfect! 😊.

This place is mind-blowing! It's a total gem in the countryside, with no traffic noise at all. The staff is super friendly and helpful, making our late check-in a breeze. The rooms are clean and the bed bunks are surprisingly comfortable. The free WiFi works like a charm and the fully equipped kitchen is a game-changer. We loved hanging out in the large dining room and separate lounge area, and they even have a picnic area for outdoor fun. Plus, they have board games and a TV room for some relaxed entertainment. Can't forget to mention the free parking and the fact that they don't allow pets or smoking on site. All in all, I would highly recommend this place for a jaw-dropping stay in the countryside.
