If I could give them 8 stars out of 5 I would. This place is a gem. The owners are so welcoming and helpful and the guesthouse (which the owner designed) is beautiful. So beautifully decorated and warm and homey. The breakfast was perfect. HOMEMADE BREAD! and so many other choices. A perfect Icelandic breakfast. We are so happy we stayed there two nights. By far this was the best place we stayed at in Iceland!

A guest house that lives up to its name!

I cannot speak more highly of our stay at this guesthouse. It lives up to its name with truely stunning views, scenery only outdone by the wonderful hospitality and warm welcome we recieved. We came on my partners 40th birthday, which i let them know in advance - they made such a fuss of us on his Birthday, decorating our room and bringing us a birthday cake! The guesthouse is increadibly clean and the beds where soooo comfy (exactly what we needed after the drive from reykjavik!). Breakfast was also lovely, and getting to eat it with views that only iceland can offer was special. Close enough to the centre to Akureyri that you can access everything you would want from the city, but far enough away that you feel in a rural oasis. A truely special place, hosted by wonderful people. Highly reccomend.

Best place to stay in Akureyri

The stay is in the host's house which is new and immaculate. They are very friendly. The view out the front window is amazing. The photos simple don't do this place justice as everything is so nice and well decorated. The beds were the most comfortable of the 6 different places we stayed in Iceland. The hosts make quite a nice breakfast every morning with many choices. They own a few horses and we got to see a foal while we were there. For the price, this is an exceptional value and a great stay for those traveling the Ring Road. You will not get this combination of great features in any other stay in this price range.

My husband and I stayed at this property in July 2026. We had planned to go whale watching in Húsavík, but our tour was postponed, so we didn’t arrive until after 11:30 PM. Despite the late hour, the owner waited for us and kindly showed us around the house. The place was spotlessly clean—honestly cleaner and more comfortable than my own home! There are two bathrooms: a spacious one with a toilet, shower, and bathtub, and a smaller one with a sink and toilet. You can tell the owner has put a lot of thought into making the house feel like home. There are beautiful wooden carvings throughout the house—a little snake beside the bathtub, a cute crab keeping you company next to the toilet, and a raven perched on the shelf by the dining table. These little touches made the place feel warm and unique. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, better than the breakfasts at most of the hotels we stayed at during our trip. There were even fresh wildflowers arranged in a vase on the dining table, which was a lovely touch. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

2/10 Poor

We arrived to a private home. Waited 10 min or so as the owner/managers we grocery shopping. They arrived and were very nice. We then find out our room is just a tiny bedroom in someone's house without a view and a cat was on our bed. Hubby is allergic! None of this disclosed on listing. We ended up having to drive 1 hour away and pay 2x to sleep last night. Not happy at all.

民宿老闆自己設計的房子，很溫馨很好看，裡面放滿溫馨的擺飾，還有漂亮的園藝，面山的狀闊景色，皮革沙發，好看的木地板，清潔寬敞明亮的浴室，還飄著香氛，吹風機功率超好。才三間客房，一點都不吵。老闆親切地帶我們看一圈。早餐是老闆娘準備的，豐盛、美味，親手做的麵包。感覺老闆夫婦是會享受生活的人，分享給大家。來阿克雷里，一定要訂到這一間。價格不貴，簡直太好了。
