Overall Ratings & Reviews Malarhorn Guesthouse

The resort is excellent and lo ates right on the ocean. Had a few issues getting in to our room since its off season, staff is not onsite, and we were to let ourselves into our room. Some other people staying in the same building as us also left the common areas messed up. A quick phone call resolved all our issues and the resort upgraded us to a larger room because of the mess. In the end glad we chose the place and would recommend it to others.

Great place

Very nice. Staff was pleasant and very helpful. Complementary coffee and cocoa was a nice touch.

We did have our room emailed to us beforehand for self checking (October stay) and it was then moved to a completely different building and room type upon arrival. Booking stated breakfast was included but that is not true for stays in the off season, which started October 1st. Without both of these the property would have been a 5 for us otherwise, it was great.

Excellent hotel in a small fishing village. Staff was exceptional. Food was great. Room was comfortable

Hot tubs in photo’s are not part of the hotel but public and a km away. Shower floods the bathroom instantly and water smells bad causing the whole room to smell. Room was full of flys. Thermostat doesn’t work. There is a window that sees into the entrance to the building and shines a light into the room when people walk through. Blinds don’t fully cover the windows. Ceilings and walls are paper thin. Beds are uncomfortably hard. Door to outer porch is so challenging to close it’s not worth using. No fridge means some of our food will go bad. Plus the journey to this side of the island is very long with unpaved roads with nothing to do. Signature double room was not worth it, wish we just drove for a few more hours to stay in the capital.

Scenic location at end of fjord. Nice to have restaurant on site for dinner and breakfast.

This was my best room so far in Iceland of 5 nights traveling around to a different location each day. Delicious halibut dinner. Top quality. Staff were eager to help & friendly. Gave me excellent tips for viewing Aurora Borealis. Saw them from midnight to 1 am. While having breakfast, watched humpback whales spouting & breaching in the distance. New & super clean public hot poos beside accommodations. I had the pool & hot tubs to myself I would highly recommend this place!!!

The Malarhorn Guesthouse was a lovely spot to spend the night. Very nice room (and big!), very friendly and helpful staff, good food in the restaurant in a tiny little town. We could have happily stayed a few more days.

The property was cute. It is a shared guesthouse but the rooms were very cute and 2 nice clean restrooms. The food at the restaurant was great!! The hot tubs along the water were a very nice treat. The hot one was perfect.

Clean units, feels very new. Room was comfortable. They have a restaurant on site and they’ll do your laundry for a nominal fee. Staff is very hospitable. Travelocity mis-communicated the amenities. Some rooms have a shared kitchen, others don’t. Recommend calling ahead to ask staff, which room you have if you’re hoping to use a kitchen.

Great room with an porch overlooking the ocean. Nice breakfast selection. A very small village but they offer a unique hot tub experience! Very friendly staff!

Clean and comfortable. Bed was against a wall with a sloping ceiling. Impossible to sit up in bed.

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Loved the glassed in porch on our room. Room was clean and spacious.

Overall a nice place to stay. Staff were great. Our room in the shared accommodation side was a bit too tiny though.

For a very remote area in a very tiny town, our stay was exceptional. The food prepared in the guesthouse was excellent and the rooms are very clean and comfortable.

Property is very basic and lackluster. No TV in the room. The surrounding area is very sparse.

Nice little seaside town. The sounds of the ocean and seagulls were relaxing. Our unit was wonderfully staged with an inviting dining and living room. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking as well. Only issue was that the inside handle to the bathroom was broken and we needed help to get out. Also there was only one shower for 4 shared rooms, which could be a problem if all rooms were occupied. Host was very sweet and the price was right for Icelandic standards.

Beautiful spacious cabin to spend the night. The staff was overall great. Very helpful and attentive.

It’s was a beautiful place near some incredible hotspots with amazing views.breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend!
