Beautiful location, friendly staff, very clean. The rooms are nicely decorated and very comfortable beds. One of our favorite things is no shoes when entering the place. We would definitely recommend this place.

Great guest houses. Main office has a dining room that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Must reserve before the meal so they know how many to cook for. It’s a horse ranch and you can watch the horses or book a horseback trail ride. Hosts are very hospitable and units are clean and convenient for a family or a couple.

Nice place, particularly the common area which is very nice with a nice view. Very helpful and friendly staff. The rooms are simple, two single beds so not very comfortable for couples. Also the food is very overpriced dinner is 8K which is too much for what is very simple food, breakfast is 4K and is not included.

Beautiful property and great cabin! We will stay here on future trips for sure! Loved the view and all the horses. Cabin had little kitchenette, but they also offered an breakfast option at the main building. Staff was very friendly. I do wish the hot tub was located closer to the cabins as it was too cold to shower, head to the main building, get in the hot tub, then head back to the cabin while in wet swimming suits.

Beautiful cottage, stayed at cottage #1. Radiator worked fine to warm us up over night with extra blanket and pillows backed up. Cute furry friends (1 dog and 1 cat) may want to say hi outside of your doorstep. Shower was only inconvenience as water was flooding outside of shower booth as the water stopper broken and no other water outlet available except shower booth. There was one floor wiper equipped there so for you to wipe the floor by yourselves.

Nice property. The only issue was that we were asked to take our shoes off when entering which made it quite inconvenient if we had left something out in the car. The cost to have laundry done was quite high so we opted not to have it done. The rooms were well appointed. I wanted to take advantage of the hot tub but the weather prevented using it.

The property was bit hard to find with Google, but the picture of the main house helped. We opted for dinner and spent $57.00 US on a soup, salad, chicken leg, potatoes and dessert. That was much more than an equivalent meals elsewhere in the country. There were no options as the food was prepared for the group and served all at one time. The food was okay, but not worth the price.

This is one of the best accommodations we stayed in Iceland during our weeklong trip. The cabins are located on a beautiful hill overlooking a neighboring horse farm. Horsing are roaming around. When weather is good, it looks like a dream. The cabins are simple and basic but kept very clean. Check-in was super smooth. Be sure to pre-book your dinner or breakfast to enjoy the family style meals provided by the hotel. My group thoroughly enjoyed the stay here and our teens wanted to go back again.

Our family of five had a great night at Hestheimar. Even though it was -10C we braved the hot tub and had a wonderful evening. The staff provided us each with bathrobes to use at the hot tub and showed up with wool hats to keep our heads warm - which we definitely needed. The cabins were compact but had everything we needed. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Northern Lights magic
We watched a show if the Northern Lights dance across the sky directly above us. It was magical! The quiet landscape of the horse farm lent itself to our sense of wonder.
