Nothing was too much trouble for the family who runs Basar. We were met off the plane by a smiling face and experienced helpfulness and efficiency from beginning to end. If we wanted a lift, a member of the family would turn up. Some guests wanted a boat ride and the family organised. The guesthouse is very well equipped and of course the island is awesomely beautiful. The location is perfect, a short walk to the harbour and moments away from cliffs and beaches with hundreds of puffins. If you want truly wild nd magnificent, this is it. We were on the island for summer solstice celebrations and were invited to the fish buffet prepared by the women of the island which was a wonderful experience.

Beautiful place, marvellous hosts

Gaga was a very accomodating host!  Inn was very clean and great rooms and beds!  Shared her knowledge of the island! Great storytelling!!  Located on the path to the Artic Circle marker!  Our stay  felt very personal and I would highly recommend !!

What an amazing experience!!

Mrs. Gaga picks you up at ferry and will drive you anywhere you want to go on the island.  Plethora of information about the history of Grimsey.  Very helpful, pleasant and friendly.  Rooms and guest house clean and very comfortable.  Highly recommend you visit and hike to the arctic circle marker.

Top of the World

This guesthouse was very nice and clean, very very clean. Our host Gagga was super sweet and accommodating. She picked us up at the ferry and dropped us at the house. She loves to drive and shows the island well. She is so proud of her homeland. She has a lot of knowledge of Iceland and is so willing to share.   She was willing to do anything for us. 

Not only did she provide adequate towels, but wash clothes! Not something I have seen in Iceland and Europe. The shower and water pressure was great! 

The marker for the Arctic Circle is not too far away. A nice little hike up and then down and back again. So worth the effort.

Lovely Scandinavian Guesthouse on the Arctic Circle

We came there 11 people together, from 6-71 years old. Gagga and her family are the greatiest, they drove us all around and were willing to to anything for us, the room was great and the breakfast was so nice. Love everything about them and the house was really great. The nature all around was amazing, the puffins, the sunset and just everything. Love this island and hope I will come back one day.

100%

This island is amazing. We were picked up at the harbor and driven to the house where our rooms were located.  Was clean and our host was fantastic.  She helped us with anything we needed including helping put our luggage to the ferry and a delicious breakfast. She gave us all the details to make our trip incredible. It was a short walk from the harbor but it was perfect for us.  We highly recommend this location stay here!!! We are so thankful for this stay!!!!

Lovely

We loved our stay at Guesthouse Basar.  The house was quaint, clean and very comfortable.  Shared bathroom no problem (once I figured out the shower doors).  Tall people be aware of your headspace.  Nice spread for breakfast, and a nice sitting room to chat with friends.  Right next to the airport where the old Arctic Circle monument stood, and just a 30-45 minute hike, depending on how often you stop to take pics, to see the "globe" now marking the Circle.  Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Clean & Comfy Place to Rest Your Head

We overnighted on Grimsey Island to visit the Arctic Circle etc. our host is multi skilled, she helped passengers off the plane and directed us to the very close by guesthouse. The service, facilities, weather and scenery were fantastic, exactly what we hoped for.

Top spot

We spent 2 night at this guesthouse. It was wonderful. We had the guesthouse to ourselves. The people were very friendly and helpful. A breakfast was provided each morning, which was ample. The views were  of the water. This is a great place to stay. 

Wonderful and relaxing

In July 2017 I spend 7 wonderful days at the Basar Guesthouse. The room was great, shared bath no problem, once I got my 6'4" height used to some low spots :). The food prepared by Halla was fabulous and I ate such delicacies as Raw Greenland Halibut, Fermented Shark, lamb, cod, and other awesome food. I highly recommend if you travels to the island for a stay try the Basar Guesthouse.
