Excellent location for our three night stay if you have a car. The centre of town is a 5 minute's drive away. Our room was a good size for a double room, including two chairs, a small table and an extra desk. Very comfortable beds, with excellent blackout curtains, which are imperative if staying in the summer, where it just does not get dark at all. The common area dining room and kitchen were immaculate and wonderfully stocked with everything you'd need to self cater. Complimentary coffee and tea available all day/night. We'll definitely be back and base ourselves here again, as there is just so much more to see and do. Our hostess was accommodating when I requested more of something, and the cleaner was efficient and friendly. An all-round great stay. Ticked all our boxes.

Getting to access the entry door key was tricky. We followed the clear instructions sent to us but we somehow had difficulty "pulling up" the box as required. Other arriving guests had the same problem so I let them in. Might just need a drop of oil, not sure!!

Great location, very easy to get into and out of Egilstadir. The guesthouse had a communal kitchen which is very useful. All the common spaces (including the kitchen) were very clean which is not necessarily the case in other such accommodations.

Americans should be aware that the twin beds are European-sized so they are a few inches less wide. Also there are adequate mattresses and pillows so you will recover from a long day but not necessarily wake up completely rejuvenated. The bathroom is a little small.

Friendly helpful owners. Very clean, spacious rooms, kitchen, and eating area. Comfy bed. Big shared kitchen with everthing you need to make your meals. Everything is perfect. There is nothing lacking. Home away from home feeling. One of the best places we stayed at on our 16-day road trip around Iceland. Wish we could have stayed here longer. Price is very reasonable compared to others we stayed at. Highly recommend Skipalaekur Guesthouse! Surrounding area is peaceful and serene.

Nothing!

Great location, just a few minutes drive from both the town and from the beautiful Vok baths. The small but well-stocked kitchen was great for preparing dinner and we enjoyed the communal dining area too. Rooms are spacious.

Room smelled very strongly of cleaning products - no bad thing but it was a little overpowering!

Very nice and clean guesthouse. Big comfortable room, with common kitchen and everything you need: stove, pots and pans, plates and cups, tea and coffee. Good location close to the little town and on the way to the waterfall.

The shared kitchen is new and equipped with everything we need to cook. The dining area has enough space for everyone to sit in and enjoy the meal there. The self check in and check out process is great. There is a storm throughout the night, but we feel safe and comfortable in the guesthouse. The chocolate powder is sweet. We enjoy our stay there.

It will be great if slippers provided, so we can wear it in dining room and kitchen.

We basically only slept at the place - we came late and left early. Room was spacious enough, simply equipped with double bed, 2chairs, small desk and wardrobe. Bathroom was clean, pretty small but enough for what we needed. Parking right in front of the main door, enough places when we were there (Oct2023). Kitchen is well equipped, I guess you can find everything you might need to cook a simple meal.

The location just outside of town was nice and convenient to everything. The host was also very accommodating in allowing me to book an additional night in the same room when an early winter storm came through and all the roads closed. The room itself was spacious, very clean and comfortable and I liked having a private bathroom. Having stayed in multiple hostels/guesthouses, I can't emphasize enough the convenience of having a private bathroom. Worth paying extra for.

My room was right next to the common area so as other guests were using that area, it was quite noisy.

Quite a large and comfortable bedroom with en-suite facilities. There were no kettle or fridge in the room but these were available at the entrance of the house as a shared facility with the other rooms. Free coffee was available. Bed was comfortable and warm with the single duvets that each side had, there were a couple of chairs in the room as well which made our stay comfortable. Bathroom held a large shower and had a good selection of toiletries available. Good lighting throughout and plenty of electrical sockets. Good quality curtains on the windows to block the early light showing through and the overall stay was comfortable.

Would have preferred kettle and fridge in our own room but they were available as part of the shared facility so no great hardship (just had to get dressed to get the wife's coffee!!)

We among the rest of the guests were stuck due to orange alert weather conditions. Guesthouse management was extremely accommodating to make sure every guest can have an extended stay and gave the guests updates throughout the day on weather and road conditions. This is good customer service.
