Overall Ratings & Reviews Guesthouse Nýpugarðar

This guesthouse was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming! Everything we needed!

very spacious, clean.

Lovely view. Welcoming staff, but that’s about where the compliments end. There was absolutely no temp control on the room. We were placed in the wrong room, we paid for an upgrade and never got it, and the hotel was sold out so they couldn’t change our room despite the $70 upgrade we paid. Very disappointing and that was just the start. No trash can in the room, shower flooded, room was so so hot and no way to cool it down since the window only opened a few millimeters. The bed and room was left a bit dirty and there was no working soap /shampoo dispenser or products available. No trash can in common areas either including the dining room /reception. The bathroom fullllllly flooded when we tried to shower. Really disappointing overall but the view was amazing. The hotel was super hot /overheated and no heaters in the room to be able to adjust. Really disappointing.

Staff was very friendly, morning breakfast was delicious!

Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff who gave us a quick introduction to the property and our accommodation. Our cabin was separate and independent from others or the main building which was nice. It felt like our little home for the night. Great vistas over the vast and stunning surrounding countryside from our porch. The accommodation was simple but good however there was no shower gel, shampoo, or washcloths in our bathroom, which is otherwise experienced as standard in Iceland. There were significant winds and driving hail overnight but our cabin felt very solid and secure. Breakfast was varied and quite good, with really nice fresh baked bread to start the day.

The area is very nice and peaceful.

very clean. Breakfast included. .

Was little noisey at night due to wind.

Remote and quite

Nice breakfast, quiet

The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff pleasant and helpful. We opted for dinner at the guesthouse because Hofn is 40 minutes away. Dinner was good. Breakfast was adequate- skyr with granola, cereal, bread and spreads, hard boiled eggs, meat and cheese, etc. The room could really use more hooks to hang jackets, and also to hang towels.

Great place to stay with beautiful country surroundings with dinner options! Grateful to stay here and eat dinner after our long day of activities. Highly recommend!

Stayed one night on our Iceland ring road trip. Parking was easy. Check-in went smoothly. Cabin was a good size although bathroom a little squeeze. NIce view over fields and well away from main building and other lodgings. Breakfast was great and plentiful.

This guesthouse is located around 3.5km down a gravel road just off the ring road, which means it is so peaceful and has fantastic views of the the surrounding area (including the glacier), We arrived here at 8pm after a very long day driving. We hadn’t eaten so we’re pleased we made it in time for dinner (we had to take our seats and order immediately). As other reviews had recommended the lamb, we both chose that and were not disappointed, it was beautiful. The room (we paid extra to have a room in the main building with our own bathroom) was modern and very warm. Simply furnished but fine for one night, but those views! We enjoyed watching the wildlife from our window, (we were in the eaves of the building) so many species of birds and also sheep with cute lambs frolicking. Breakfast was a simple buffet with enough choice to set us up for the day, I can highly recommend the freshly baked bread.

We loved the area, charm and delicious breakfast. Our upstairs room was good. The only complaint was it was too warm for sleeping very comfortably, but that has been the case where ever we have stayed in Iceland, and was a bit stuffy without a lot of ventilation. When we cracked the windows open a bit, a few flies from the farm got in, but didn’t bug us; they remained at the window panes. The dining room and deck have gorgeous views, and we enjoyed roaming the property taking photos of the views, many lambs (we were there in May), and the birds.

Parking was not easy (for us at least) middle of nowhere (quite literally)- so no food options and we missed the restaurant. breakfast was good!!!! we had a bathroom in our room which was AMAZING!!! we were so surprised we were so happy! no heater in this room so very kinda inconvenient to try and wash some clothes if they got dirty from an excursion. but overall very spacious, nice staff, good breakfast. would stay again

Location was remote but the hospitality was excellent! We received a lovely breakfast with our room rate. Bread and baked goods were freshly home made. A good selection of cold cuts and cheeses, fruit, and boiled egg were provided. We ate in for dinner (not included) and had roast lamb and lamb burger. Delicious! Room was clean; linens were provided; warm and cosy overnight stay. Yes definitely recommend.

Best breakfast, picture perfect scenery, very kind staffs.

Great experience overall. Very friendly staff, warm and comfy room, clean bathroom, breakfast was very good as well. We also had a dinner - big and delicious meals (lamb was perfect)

The location was great, far enough off the road to be away from the bustle, but close enough that with a car its easy to get to. Close to the Glacier. Far enough away from places that you can see the northern lights if you walk back along the road a bit (I spent one night and managed to see them). Room was spotless, with everything I needed. Breakfast was included and had a nice selection.
