“The hotel is just right above the harbor and it easy to find it. The room was spacious and the view from the window spectacular. Also good breakfast included in the price.”

“Breakfast was amazing. The hotel was clean and everyone was friendly. The only disappointing thing was they must have a filter on their water so you don’t get that salt or smell and I love the smell of Iceland's water”

“We were lucky to get a room to stay on the island overnight because it was a busy weekend in the summer. The room was simple but sufficient, breakfast was a bit limited but again, had sufficient options for us. I especially liked the tuna salad...”

Our Guesthouse is unique because It should feel just like home when you are visiting us, our guesthouse is wonderfully located. Only two minutes walking from the harbor where the ferry arrives and departs, and of course right in the downtown area.
Personally I love to travel around the world and experience different cultures. I love horseback riding, me and my husband (we are the owners) own a few horses here in Westman islands. We have a big family, 5 kids, who are all grown up so we think of our guesthouse like a home. We love to greet people from all over the world.
Our island is just beautiful. Our lava area is unreal. Our Volcano history is just amazing. We have a great golf course of 18 holes, we have so many great restaurants. If you are visiting Iceland, you have to visit Westman Islands.
