Guesthouse Stöng and Cottages

Guesthouse

Unique and great place. The hosts are very friendly. The cook is an extraordinary man that alone is worth the visit.

The biggest disappointment of our trip, lower level room between two floors, very dark, old and very noisy with the floors of the rooms at the top squeaky. Room with 2 twin beds instead of a double bed requested. For €135 the room with shared bathroom is very expensive even for Iceland! Fortunately the breakfast is somewhat the level with some products of the farm. The receptionist lent an ear distracted to our remarks without seeming to be interested.

Cozy wooden houses located about 15 km from the lake. They have everything you need even to prepare for a quick dinner and breakfast. Arrange them for all small hot tubs in which to bathe outdoors. Accessible structures for a 4x4.

Great room. Clean. Delicious and wide variety of breakfast. Great, quaint place. Highly recommend.

Horrible place: unskilled staff, torn furniture, mosquitoes and flies all over, blinds that hardly shade, insufficient equipment, and on top of all that, a expensive price. A real nightmare.

Note that the guesthouse "driveway" is quite a way from the road, so be prepared for a long drive to/from the hotel. We rented one of the small houses. It was very cozy, however, the one we were in had broken tiles in the bathroom, so we did not get to completely enjoy the heated floors. The shower was also extremely small. The blackout curtains were wonderful! And we enjoyed the cozy dark bedroom. Especially when we got back from very busy days. Breakfast was included in the price, however, due to our schedules, we were not able to eat breakfast there. We did eat dinner there one night. The mushroom soup was delightful and was the highlight of the meal. The fish dishes we had were good, however, the side dishes (vegetables and potatoes) were ok. They seemed more like thawed frozen sides than freshly made. In addition, the cost for the meal seemed excessive for the quality of food. We did enjoy our stay, and we were glad to support a local family. We would strongly suggest that they look to hire a professional chef who could really draw people to their restaurant.

Warm comfortable welcoming. Evening restaurant available. Breakfast excellent. Two new hot tubs available. On a working sheep farm. Farm visits possible. But it's 5km along a gravel road.

Love it absolutely! We stayed at one of the cottage houses and the price was great and the rooms are clean and decent. Love the atmosphere!

Very quiet. Breakfast very plentiful.

We booked a twin room with shared bathroom. Paid a ridiculous price like everywhere in Iceland so was expecting a decent room. There was hardly anyone at the guesthouse but we were given the basement room that's an L shape. Dark and not a good spacial design and since we were staying for 2 nights we asked for another room that's not a basement and thankfully was given one in the attic but no longer an L shaped room. The shared bathrooms were okay, only has 2 for the entire guesthouse of people who aren't staying in the cottages so that's 11-12 rooms… it has a restaurant but no kitchen for guests and even if you stay in the cottages there aren't any cooking utensils. We asked for hot water just for some tea she said she will get it for us but we waited for 10 min outside reception and she never came back when she was not busy with any other customers. These were all okay, but we were very UNHAPPY with the service. We have been nothing but polite and even as we were asking for a room change we were as respectful and polite as possible but the owner has been nothing but RUDE from the start of our stay here. She does not smile, and not helpful at all. When we asked about information of where to see the northern lights, she was very dismissive and said, in exact words, "just look around" with her lips pursed then carried on her work. We thought she might have just had a bad day but she's been making a face at us for the entire 2 days stay and been nothing but rude.
