Overall Ratings & Reviews Víðines Guesthouse

The guesthouse and its location were very good. Due to its remote location, the best way to commute is by taking a rental car. It was a bit strange that Google maps doesn't have the route map for the last 1.5km to the guesthouse. However, there was a signboard to the guesthouse which helped. The stay was pleasant and the kitchen & bathrooms were in very good condition. The only downside was that our grocery items were stolen from the common refrigerator. So, please be careful and store the non-perishable goods in the room instead of the refrigerator.

This was a hospital or nursing home

Overall great place but somehow in the morning, someone opened my room door while I sleeping. Not sure if how someone else had the code to our room.

The property look run down, definitely in the middle of no where, the room was crawling with bugs and dirty under the bed. Barely had heat. The water will tarnish your jewelry, due to the water system. The water stinks and smells like eggs. Will go the extra mile and stay in hotel

Spacious room & clean bed sheets.

We absolutely LOVED Viðines Guesthouse. The morning cleaning staff is so helpful and kind that we all cried before leaving. The location is beautiful, while not being too far from Reykjavik. The sense of freedom, especially as far as meals are concerned, is invaluable (no schedule imposed whatsoever. Only "negative" point: it is REALLY time for a new toaster! And the free coffee runs out every other day!

We enjoyed the uniqueness of the property and the self check in abilities!

Excellent quiet spot with plenty of parking space and great view

Electricity went out in morning so nothing can be cooked. But while it was running. Excellent property.

Invest in renovating facility, in particular, bath rooms. They were shabby and I did not feel like using it. One of them had poor drainage. Water contains too much sulfur. I understand this property is for cost conscious travelers, but relatively modest renovation could really improve the image of it.

A great place for family staying

Clear check-in instruction was provided. The place is very quite and the view was beautiful. There is a Kitchen which is very convenient to make some simple meals. Suggestion to the property owner: at least provide some facial tissue in the room, shampoo/conditioner and shower gel in the shower room. Thanks!

Walls seem very thin. Noisy inside

Really affordable place to stay near Reykavik. Great rooms. Large useable kitchen. Keyless entry. Would definitely recommend.

Good

Place was quiet, clean, peaceful and away from the city crowds. Highly recommended for anyone interested in just peace and quiet. The views are priceless.

Clean and easy check in

Great place for travelers on their way to or from Reykjavik! Lovely area on the bay with stellar sunrises and sunsets, with a view of the mountains.

Room was not cleaned before our check-in, we found wet towels in the bed. This was the second place we stayed at and the water had a weird smell. Only book if you plan on being out the whole day. It was far from anything including food.
