Our House has three private rooms and two shared mixed sex dorm rooms. One of the dorm rooms has two bunk beds and one single bed (5 persons) and the other one has single beds (4 persons)
The private rooms vary in shapes and sizes from a tiny wood paneled room with nothing in it except the beds to a little blue room with Bob the Builder stickers to a larger room with gold wallpaper and space for 4 people. Our live-in caretaker lives in the fourth room which could sometimes become available. They are all the same price and you won´t know which one you will get until you get here because of possible changes in bookings and other guests' numbers and needs. You won´t want to waste much time in your room anyway and all of them do their job as a place where you can sleep (provided your fellow housemates are considerate during the night).

Discounts
You can get 1000 ISK off your total bill (NOT FOR EACH NIGHT) if you are using a sleeping bag or bringing your own bed linen (duvet cover and pillow cover). Let us know by e-mail. As you can see by the caps lock - I'm tired of people thinking the discount is for every night but think about it really. It wouldn´t make sense. The people with linen don´t get them changed every day or anything. If you have a sleeping bag you are only saving me putting one duvet cover in the washing machine one time, that´s all.
You can get a 10% discount if you stay for 7 nights or more
There is a 10% family discount if you have kids with you and young children can possibly stay with you for free if there is room for them. Ask by e-mail.
All taxes and facilities, towels and a few basics to make your own breakfast included. Rates are in the local Icelandic krona currency. To view prices in your own local currency, please use a currency converter
A booking in our house can be made through e-mail or the booking system on this page. It is secured once you get a personal confirmation e-mail from us (not the automatic one you get right after you book). No deposit is required, just let us know of any changes as soon as you can. Payment is preferrably upon or soon after arrival. We take cash (any currency) and credit cards. We have even had a guest pay part of his bill with a crocheted shawl he made while here!
Things happen. Please let us know by e-mail as soon as possible if circumstances change and you need to cancel.
We don´t want to stop you from having any adventures that come your way. If you are already at the guesthouse and decide to change your travel plans and cancel some nights you can get a refund for those nights minus a cancelation fee of 1000 ISK per canceled night. We believe that is only fair for having held the reservation and most likely prevented other guests from booking a stay those nights.
Formal Check in time is 13 and Check out time is 11-ish. We are very flexible though. You can drop off your luggage and go explore until your room is ready or go right in and take a nap if no one was using the room before you so please e-mail us with your estimated arrival time. Arrival time is also important because there is not always someone here to meet you. The owner has three little kids that require all her attention after school so if you plan to arrive before 9 am or after 16 pm you will most likely get instructions by e-mail on how you can let yourselves in and start making yourselves at home. When you check out you are welcome to leave your luggage here and hang out until you have to leave for the airport.
