Icelanders have spent generations breeding their horses (the only type of horse allowed in the country) to withstand Iceland's unpredictable, and often bad weather and to be able to walk easily through the country's uneven, rocky terrain. They have a thick coat, are very friendly, and have two unique gaits, called tölt and flugskeið. You see them everywhere in the countryside, even more than cows!

We saw this handsome guy on our drive between Skógafoss and Vík.

"Fantastic experience. Loved the breakfast as well. The only amenity we thought was amiss was towel dryer, but apart from that quite a wonderful experience "

"stayed here with my brother and a friend. it's so close to skogafoss! we enjoyed our stay. the facilities were clean, and the breakfast included with our stay was fresh and delicious."

"Quiet, comfortable stay on a farm that was just outside of Vik and close to Dyrholaey and Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. There are 5 rooms with a shared kitchen, sitting area and 2 bathrooms. The bathrooms were modern and spacious, and even though they were 'shared,' there was always at least one open whenever needed. The other guests were quiet and considerate, so we would definitely stay here again."

"This guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay not far from Vik. The beds were comfortable and the shared amenities were nice. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the bathroom. It didn't seem to be completely cleaned between people's visits... "

"This was our second stay in a year’s time. If you don’t know what to expect, you may be surprised. It’s an old boarding school, so it has a cool factor. It feels like you’ve stepped back in time because everything looks original. The rooms are old but clean and have a bed, table, and sink. The bathrooms are down the hall, old but clean as well. It could really use some renovations. The location is great if you’re in the area because there aren’t many other options. We were disappointed with...

"DO NOT BOOK HERE! They don't care if the weather closes the roads and you can't get there, it's your problem and they don't refund you even though it's out of your control. "

"Got this on short term for one overnight, everything worked, good WiFi. Note that there is another guesthouse with similar name some hundred metres behind."

"Clean, friendly, and close to the airport."

"No one was there when we arrived but we soon found out that they were over booked and we we put up in a nearby hotel that was of a much poorer quality for the same price. I have read other reviews saying that when they arrived they found out that the hotel was overbooked too so this might be a policy of theirs. Nice enough place otherwise but I would not recommend."

Double Room, 1 Queen Bed | Blackout drapes, free WiFi, bed sheets

"This was a guesthouse where we were greeted by the owner as we drove up. She showed us our room, which was clean and comfortable. She also made wonderful pancakes for breakfast for everyone, it felt like a family meal. I would recommend to anyone wanting something other than the sterile hotel room experience. "

"Very clean and updated, And a major plus there was a washer and dryer which is a must have in my opinion! Everything in town was walking distance and it had beautiful views of the mountains, I will be staying here again if I ever come back to Iceland! "
