This is an inn located in the northeast corner of Iceland. We went there to visit Stone Hengy. The inn is well maintained, clean and tidy. You need to change your shoes when you enter and go upstairs.

Location was right along the road, easy to find. Large common areas for cooking and lounging. Very quiet during our stay. Laundry available.
Lack of room in the freezer due to someone leaving a fish in the freezer, and one drawer was frozen shut.

We loved everything about the property. It was well located, clean and super comfy. I would definitely recommend the stay for anybody who’s traveling through and needs a great place to sleep.
Nothing to hate here

The studio apartment was perfect for our family of five. Our youngest slept with us and our older kids took the single bed and the couch. The private bathroom and kitchen were well equipped. There was a common area with a beautiful view toward the Arctic Henge. Dora was a wonderful host - friendly and helpful!
No real complaints. The television wasn't working but we didn't feel the need to use it.

The lady on reception went out of her way to help me sort an issue on my ongoing travels. That aside, nothing was too much trouble and I really appreciated it. Good location, comfortable bed, free washing machine and clothes rack, kitchen, lounge; I highly recommend them

The check-in staff was very kind and hospitable. She offered to call and make us a reservation at the local restaurant and was very welcoming.
We came during the off-season, so there wasn't a whole lot to do in town. They were also in the midst of replacing the laundry appliances, so we weren't able to do laundry as planned.

Location was as expected, was very close to the Arctic Henge. The room was upgraded from a double room with a shared bathroom to a private apartment with a kitchen and private bathroom.
The kitchen was very outdated however cannot complain as the room was an upgrade and we didn't use the kitchen.

Nice reception, staff friendly, very clean, nice shared room with kitchen facilities. Over-all atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.
Worn, old house on the outside, yet inside clean. The room we had was small, yet compensated with shared living room and kitchen.

It was warm. Has big windows to look out from. A chess set. A TV. Good kitchen. Hot shower and free wi-fi. Location was also good.
Oven didn't have a shelf inside. Cups were too small for tea or coffee.

Great location for visiting this part of Iceland
At least one more washroom for the number of rooms that need to share them. Rearrange the laundry facilities outside of the washrooms. Offer a breakfast as there are not many restaurants in the area.

The town itself is very quirky and may not be for everyone. If you want to be in a friendly, small fishing town on the edge of the Arctic circle and be exposed to exceptional hiking and amazing coastline look no further. The guesthouse is simple and homely. The lady at the reception is an absolute super star.

The property is easy to find, along the main. The Artic Henge is visible from the property and is about 2 minutes drive.
Ms Dora was very accommodating and helpful. She gave information about Raufarhofn prior to our arrival so we can prepare what to bring..
Even after checking out, she was available for questions when we're having problem on the road.
Wifi is weak. I keep getting cut off.

Good communication for the owner to let us know about grocery store times etc.
Would highly recommend!
