Very nice, clean, good size rooms, easy access to kitchen and bathroom.  Located right on the coast great view of water and there is access to the beach. Nice and close to airport. This was the our last night in Iceland before flying back home. Nice change to have owner on sight.

Lovely place to stay.

Our second stay here, now under the ownership of Ola, a lovely lady who has high standards of what a guesthouse should be. We had the smallest room but this was enough for a one night stay before heading to the airport (very handy for it if you have your own transport). More shared toilet /shower space being installed but what there already is is of a good standard. Small but well equipped kitchen. Location right by the sea is fresh and plenty of local amenities in Garđur, or more 5 minutes away in Keflavik. Highly recommended. 

Useful location and pleasant stay 

The owner, Oda, was pleasant.  Our room -- the smallest in the house, with just two bunk beds -- was basic but very clean and quite good enough for our limited purpose, which was to spend the night close to Keflavik airport (a five-minute drive away.)

As it turned out, we were glad that we did that.  Our flight to Heathrow left at 7:40 a.m. and we were warned to get to the airport two hours before that. The airport rental car drop-off (Avis) was pretty slow.  There was quite a queue to go through the drop-off formalities, even at that early hour.  The drop-off place is further from the airport than the pick-up place, so there is a shuttle bus.  Keflavik airport was packed, and a bit of a madhouse.  Huge long snaking line for everyone waiting to check in and drop off baggage.  Many people sleeping on the floor and in chairs, evidently having spent the night there.  I had no idea there would be so many outgoing flights so early. We made our flight OK, but were very glad not to have had to allow extra time for a 40-minute drive from Reykjavik. 

Oda's place was easy to find.  Her directions were spot-on.  It is very reasonably priced by Icelandic standards. I have no criticisms at all.  But I suspect the location is probably what attracts most of the guests.

Good place to spend the night before an early-morning flight

My wife and I visited in Iceland recently for the first time and we enjoyed to stay at this guesthouse during our 3 day trip there.
There were some highlights from this accommodations.

1) The owner was very nice lady and her guesthouse was well maintained for comfort.
2) Location was close to Keflavik International Airport. Approximately 10 min drive.
3) WiFi was available for free.
4) There was a mini refrigerator, a small electric stove and an electric kettle in the kitchen. However, don't use electric stove and electric kettle in the kitchen at same time though...you will probably trip circuit breaker if you do so.
5) Gas station and Grocery Shopping were close by. We recommend BONUS for grocery shopping. It seemed cheaper than other places.
6) Free parking in front of the guesthouse.

Comfortable Stay

So we didn't have any real problems with this place and the lady who runs it was very personable.

However, the photos shown here are very misleading. The spacious kitchen with the sea view is NOT part of the accommodation but is indicative of the private space for the owners. It's not right that they are shown when the real kitchen and living space is much smaller and more dorm-like.

Regardless, it was adequate accommodation and very well-placed for the airport.

My main criticism is that our room did not have a single plug hole, which was immensely baffling! Coupled with the fact that I had an early flight back, I had to keep getting up during the night to check my charging phone -- in a communal kitchen. Unacceptable.

The accommodation is clean, the bathroom is nice and the owner nice. Bit I wouldnt return until the room actually has a plug socket. I've never seen a room without a socket in my entire life!
