Clear instruction on how to get the key. Very clean and modern facility. a nice and fully equipped kitchen, with coffee and chocolate. A small sink in the room. The heater worked really well. One of our rooms was on the lower floor. The toilet was huge and the water hot with good pressure. There was floor heating in the bathroom. The curtains were small but effective. Our room overlooked the garden and faced the seaside and a road, it’s quiet at night. So far the best accommodation in Iceland among our stays.

Clean, modern, well maintained and equipped

It looks like it may have been updated since a lot of the pictures online were shared. It had a very modern, clean, and cosy vibe to it. We picked up the key from a table in the entrance and had a twin room on the top floor which was lovely and light and had nice views of the surrounding town out of the two windows. There was a small private car park just around the corner at the back. 

Both the bathroom and kitchen were both modern and clean as well. 

Would definitely look to stay here again if I was in the area.

Excellent

Long story that I will try to summarize as best as I can. We visited the guesthouse August 28th, paid a high rate as it was summer but the location was good and the space was comfortable for 4 people. I would have given this place a great review if it weren’t for what happened afterwards. The only issue we had was the sofa bed was uncomfortable.
The next morning we very briefly took the mattress off the sofa bed (it was a very simple set up, just two Velcro straps attached to the base frame for easy assembly). We put it back exactly how it was shortly after. We then notice a man is outside our window looking in. My partner looked out the window and made eye contact, we found it very odd that someone was hanging around but just assumed maybe he was on the phone and didn’t realize people were in the room. A few minutes later we heard a knock on the door and it was the same man. He was very frustrated and agitated, asking us several times what our “problem” was. We said we had no problem everything was good. He then again asked rudely what our problem was and we were confused and said why do you think there is a problem? He then shows us a picture he took from outside our window INTO our room showing the mattress off the sofa bed. We were very shocked and uncomfortable that this man had taken a picture into our room, we had 3 girls inside getting ready for the day and thought this was very inappropriate. We explained to him again that there was no issue we just had to adjust the mattress and put it back exactly as it was before. We closed the door on and made a reminder to let the owner know when we got back from the trip of this negative experience. I thought they would be understanding and apologetic.
I reached out to the owner upon returning home, a week after our stay. Explaining that we felt uncomfortable having a strange man hanging around outside (this was hours before check out too), taking pictures, being rude when he never explained who he was or what he was doing there. To my surprise, they were defensive and gave no apology. They are now threatening to contact booking.com to charge me for damage (conveniently they are claiming this a week later, not right after our stay) when I have proof nothing was damaged. I never write bad reviews but wanted to warn others of this experience.

Bad Experience, Please Read

We weren't sure what to expect from a guesthouse versus an inn, B&B, or hotel. This was a very pleasant surprise. It's a simple place, that feels very homey. We walked in to find our keys on a desk waiting on us. We just walked up to our room to settle in. The rooms are very simple, mine was small, and I shared a bathroom. But for the money, it was all just fine. Everything was clean, neat, and comfortable. The location is fantastic. I had a view of the little harbor, and it's right by five good restaurants. I wish they had curtains in addition to the blackout shades as that would really help with the 2:50 sunrise in summer :-)  But, other than that we were as happy with it as we could be.

Comfort in Small Places

We stayed twice at Guesthouse Dyngja which is situated right at the harbour. It is nice and clean with cooking facilities, free coffee, muesli and youghurt anr good beds. The host is so friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.

Clean and frieandly right by the harbour.

Dyngja is easy to find in Höfn, very helpful host and fascinating environment. A very good choice for overnighting in South East of Iceland. I can easily recommend this place to all light travellers. Very good.

Clean, good beds and comfortable environment

The guesthouse felt like a home far away from home. It was only a few meters away from the best restaurants in town. The host was especially pleasant and accommodating and made us feel very welcome. :)

Wonderful!

Dyngja provided us with a comfortable and cozy stay. Highly recommended for a family of four. Also, affordable, well located near the harbour and close to lovely restaurants. Sparkling clean and nice beds.

Cosy stay in lovely Höfn!

Sadly, i can not travel to the place for the covid situation, but they had i great costumer service and good communication to all my facts,  so reliable. I hope can visit they in a short future.

Thanks for all

Great Costumer Service

our stay was wonderful - the room was friendly, clean and comfortable, and within walking distance to a number of delicious restaurants. in the morning we could see an incredible sunrise over the ocean with a number of boats and in the wharf - would highly recommend!
