Wow. This an absolutely stunning place. Best facilities we’ve experienced in a very long while. And the breakfast which is delivered to your door each morning is sublime and extensive. Cake bread meat cheese eggs yoghurt as examples. If you stayed here too long you’d need 2 seats on the plane to get off the island.
Wonderful and absolutely faultless

We loved everything about this guesthouse. It was very well appointed, clean, cozy, had an amazing view, was easy to get to, and had a sweet cat to greet us. Aslaug is a wonderful host and serves a delicious and filling breakfast.

Great breakfast and location.

This B&B was amazing, everything what’s needed was there: nice kitchenette, separate little room for your suitcases, comfortable bed and overall everything was clean, in style and thought-through! A separate star goes to breakfast - it was delicious! Great food and on both days we had a different breakfast offer🫶 Also, you have a stunning view out of the window and can watch birds and enjoy beautiful sunsets/ sunrises! We’d come back anytime!

Very nice decoration, it was also pleasant just to rest in this flat. High quality, very good breakfast

Well equipped. Good space in the Flat. Garden with some toys for Kids. Breakfast was good and a lot.
In the sleeping room was a noise from outside (pump or generator) which was continuously 24h running and recognisable.

The breakfasts were amazing! I had read a lot of reviews about them and they did not disappoint! The room was beautifully decorated and I had an amazing view of the Icelandic President's official residence and Hallgrimskirkja. The room I was very quiet and well equipped.
My only regret is that I couldn't spend more time at the guesthouse!

This guesthouse is wonderful! It was everything I was hoping for: quiet, clean, comfortable and spacious. Also, it has two picture windows with stunning views and natural light, truly delicious breakfast delivered in by the owner, who kindly answered our questions. Highly recommended!
I should have planned to stay longer. Two nights was too short...

Beautifully placed house outside the city but very close to Reykiavik. Apartment was very nicely decorated with a comfortable kitchen. Very spacious, nice views, very clean and comfortable beds.
You have to try breakfast - it's deliciuious! Home made warm bread, pancakes or cake, freshly cooked eggs, good quality cheese and ham, jam - everything served sooo nicely 🩷

Absolutely beautiful location with views over the fields and sea , lots of birds (geese, ravens, oystercatchers etc) to observe from the window. Bright and super cosy. The beads were very comfortable. Everything was also spotlessly clean. We had a little kitchen that we didn’t end up using simply because we were out all day and returned late or ate out, but you could easily cook as simple meal yourself. Supermarket 8 minutes drive away is open 24/7. Bit outside of Reykjavik but I prefer quieter areas and this was perfect. The best was the homemade breaking Áslaug every morning with freshly baked break, cakes, fruits, eggs, jam, juice. Have never stayed in any hotel or BnB with breakfast that good. Áslaug was super friendly and kind and nothing was too much bother. We had to leave very early to get our flight so she left us some breakfast the evening before.
nothing really. it was expensive but for Iceland prices probably not. totally worth it and would book again.
2.5
The beds are comfy and the breakfast is varied.
The noise from the apartment above us was really loud, you could clearly gear there conversations. The walls are very thin.
The host messaged me after my stay to say that she found a crack in the window and did not accept it when I said that there had been no accident during our stay. She then called me low and immoral and got personal about my son (15 years old) who is transgender. The only way that the host could have known is listening to our conversations. It's intrusive, unprofessional and discriminatory.
I do not recommend that you get on the wrong side of this host.

5.0
The guesthouse is a 15 minute drive out of the city centre which is just enough to feel like you can experience the calm of the countryside when you have finished a long, busy day. The view is spectacular, especially at night.
The breakfast is AMAZING! Every day, there was something different with enough food that we could make packed lunches for the 2 of us and have plenty to last us until the evening. Aslaug asked us each day when we'd like to have breakfast delivered, to suit our plan, and accommodated us without issue. The apartment itself is fabulous; modern and clean, with a fridge and enough kitchen facilities to make a simple evening meal.
Nothing! We'd return without a hesitation!

Aslaug's homemade breakfast is exceptional and one of the reasons we keep coming back to stay! She delivered it to our room at the time we specified, in the midst of a gale. There was hot basket full of wonderful goodies, as well as a cooler with lots more. We couldn't even begin to eat it all. There are many comfortable, hospitable touches, like a french press, cozy blankets, towel warmer, and more. We watched the gale through our gorgeous picture window (Hallgrimskirkja and the Presidential Mansion are clearly visible) and enjoyed the city skyline at night. Aslaug's style and hospitality is unmatched. Convenient to downtown Reykjavik and just a few minutes from Sky Lagoon. The perfect place to begin your Iceland adventure.
The shower is a bit awkward, as it doesn't have a glass enclosure, so most of the bathroom gets wet.

Beautiful Guesthouse in an amazing spot. View pretty impressive and the perfect retreat to get away. Breakfast kept us full all day :)
5 minutes walk to coast and saw the northern lights from there on our last day...perfect end

Our stay was perfect. Cozy flat with comfortable beds, good shower, Netflix and a balcony with a brilliant view to the polarlights :-) Áslaug served a wonderful breakfast every morning and we loved it to cook in the evening. Thanks for these wonderful days. We recommend this location with 10 points.
4.5
I really liked the room in itself, it was super cozy. The breakfast was amazing and carefully prepared. One of the best things was the view from the room, beautiful skyline to fall asleep to and an amazing light to wake up to.
The only thing that "bugged" us was the shower drain which felt a bit clogged, so it might need some rinsing.
5.0
The breakfasts provided were, simply, sensational. They were so generous, delicious and varied - getting better every single day. It kept the whole family going and meant everybody woke up excited. Several hundred points out of ten.
We would love to have been able to turn the house round to take more advantage of the view... but difficult feedback to implement!
