Surtsey Beach Vacations

Lava Guesthouse is well-located in the centre of Westman Island and has basically all the amenities required. There are enough bathrooms for all the guests and those are clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and sheets clean. The blackout blind in the bedroom was not super effective however. The kitchen is quite good. Modern, clean and stocked with basics. Especially good was the dishwasher, and also some hot chocolate powder we found which hit the spot on a cold afternoon.

There was no one available at check-in. Everyone’s keys were left on a counter in the lobby —weird. The only staff we saw the entire time was a single person who put breakfast out. There’s no elevator and getting to rooms can be via several flights of stairs. The place has a hostel vibe, including a communal refrigerator in the hallway.
