Black Beach Guesthouse

Not a lot around but we did find a lovely Thai restaurant only a short walk away.

Clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. The new management are very kind and accommodating.

Very courtesy staff looking after the needs of their clients. I’ve stayed at this guesthouse numerous times for work and it’s very comfortable.

This place is really in the middle of nowhere, but if you are heading east by the south coast, then it's perfect. We stayed here first stay after we arrived and it met our needs well. There is no staff. They give a code to the main door and code to your room. The room has the necessities. It's a no-frills simple suitable stay.

Very clean and comfortable. Lovely and warm. Small but functional for a short stay. Go to Heima Bistro, 2 mins walk away for tasty Icelandic fish and ships and an incredibly warm welcome

The hotel was clean and bed was comfortable. It’s a great location. Last night the sweetest man knocked on our door and let us know to go outside and see the northern lights. He worked there. He went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t miss this spectacular view and was very kind, funny, and polite.

We had a wonderful three-night stay at the Black Beach Guesthouse. The self-check-in process was super easy, and we really appreciated the location in Þorlákshöfn — just about an hour from Reykjavík and the airport. On our first night, we took a short walk to the local community recreation center, where a kind local recommended a nearby spot called Thai Sakhon. We gave it a try, and the food was great! During our stay, we went on several day trips — to Diamond Beach (about 4.5 hours away), Vík (around 2 hours), and Selfoss (only 20 minutes). We usually got back late, but one night we discovered another great restaurant right next to Thai Sakhon called Super1pizza. We ended up chatting with a friendly local there who told us about life in Iceland — it was such a nice, unexpected highlight of our trip. The area around the guesthouse felt safe and welcoming, even though it’s in a slightly industrial part of town. Þorlákshöfn itself is quiet but easy to walk around. We loved spotting Icelandic horses near the water by the local church (about a 10-minute walk from the guesthouse), and the Krónan grocery store just a few minutes away was super convenient. Our room was simple, clean, and comfortable — exactly what we needed after long days of exploring. The guesthouse only provides soap (no shampoo) and doesn’t have a common area or lobby, but that’s typical for guesthouses and didn’t bother us at all. Overall, our stay was relaxing, comfortable, and a perfect base for exploring

We had problems with the door code ,it was very finicky. Problem with door was resolved quickly..cosy and clean room... nothing special

Parking, yes easily available.

Great location for what we were doing

Great access More shower supplies be great

Loved the kettle. Very easy access and not difficult to find at all. Clean, good facilities, comfy bed.

Great stay

Check in was terrible. check in instructions were not provided and contacting the owner was impossible as a tourist with an eSIM. Mini fridge was not cleaned out from previous guests. Cleanliness needed improvement. Beds were very comfortable. Continent and affordable accommodation.

As stated in other reviews it is in an industrial area with not much in the area. We found a great family restaurant around the corner. Great place to stopover while doing the ring road

Very clean and comfortable property. It is however in an industrial estate which is slightly strange setting for a good property. 10 minutes aways is a lovely black sand beach howeve and it is a good location for exploring the peninsula

In an industrial area of town, but nice place to stay. The building and room felt new, and everything was very clean & comfortable. The host was very responsive and friendly.

Comfortable bed, clean room and walkable to a great family friendly restaurant/bar.

The ventilation fan in bathroom can’t be turn off. At night, it is partially noisy. Called staff but solve it. It is clarified this is not required by local code. It should be the top priority in to do list for the owner.

The room itself was lovely! It was a good size with a private bathroom! Location-wise, it was a bit out of the way with very limited food/activity options. It was right next to an Orlando gas station which was convenient. We stayed here as a home based for the Golden Circle and it was a great location for our purposes! Parking was super easy and free as well:)
