Helena, as the owner, wonderful. She did a tour of her goats (and the kids were so cute). The room was great, including the bathroom.

The property is ok, not as impressive as we want but it served the purpose. We booked the property at the last minute and need some place to stay and cook the food ourselves. The room has very thing we need, a mini electronic cooktop, pots, and pans. Though, the road to get into the property was very rough. We came from Vik and were driving on route 1 and made exit and that was when we found out that the gravel road was difficult to drive. Other than that, every was okay.

We stayed here for 4 nights while visiting Iceland. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. It was convenient to Selfoss and easy to get to. The guesthouse is about 100 meters from where the owners stay. Need to pick up the key there. The goats and cat are cute.

We enjoyed staying in a studio apartment. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies for simple meals. We didnt get to see any animals but we did arrive later in the v evening and left in the early AM. Great place to stay.

Helena was a great host who let us spend some time with the goats. Her home is very spacious and has a nice “comfty” feeling to it.

This was a beautiful property on a farm that raises goats. The room was clean with a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom, and a very comfortable bed. Great view of the countryside out of our window. Would definitely recommend.
