Gistiheimilið var mjög hreint og snyrtilegt. Eldhús vel búið. Rúmin góð. Netsamband gott. Þjónustan góð. Engin handklæði og ekki sjónvarp. Nærumhverfi mjög skemmtilegt, með auðugu fuglalífi á Blöndu og gömlum húsum sem verið er að gera upp. ##### Smári Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hali Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reynivellir-Hotels-Hali-Country-Hotel.h18172586.Hotel-Information) > > [Aurora Hotel at Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport Terminal KEF](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Aurora-Hotel-At-Reykjavik-Keflavik-Airport-Terminal-KEF.h6567348.Hotel-Information) > > [Hörgsland cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkjubaejarklaustur-Hotels-Horgsland-Cottages.h37136632.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Donard](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Hotels-Slieve-Donard-Resort-And-Spa.h890512.Hotel-Information) > > [Reykjavik Natura - Berjaya Iceland Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Icelandair-Hotel-Reykjavik-Natura.h12750.Hotel-Information) > > [Konvin Hotel by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-BB-Hotel-By-Keflavik-Airport.h3474914.Hotel-Information) > > [London Wembley International Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Wembley-International-Hotel.h890560.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Early Check-in in Birmingham City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-City-Centre-Birmingham-Hotels-Hotel-With-Early-Check-In.0-n6196039-0-thotelwithearlycheckin.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Kriunes - A city hotel by the lake](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Kriunes-A-City-Hotel-By-The-Lake.h6647410.Hotel-Information) > > [Dis Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grundarfjordur-Hotels-Dis-Cottages.h22438369.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Laxnes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Laxnes.h2391825.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Örk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hveragerdi-Hotels-Hotel-Ork.h1543128.Hotel-Information) > > [201 Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-201-Hotel.h20522120.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-The-Retreat-At-Blue-Lagoon-Iceland.h33987034.Hotel-Information) > > [Hótel Búrfell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Hotel-Burfell.h27054242.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vík í Mýrdal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Hotel-Vik.h35767873.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hveragerdi-Hotels-The-Greenhouse-Hotel.h63857923.Hotel-Information) > > [Northern Light Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Northern-Light-Inn.h12320638.Hotel-Information) > > [Lava Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lava-Lodge.h46039652.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Grimsborgir by Keahotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Selfoss-Hotels-Hotel-Grimsborgir-Your-Golden-Circle-Retreat.h3644141.Hotel-Information) > > [Frost and Fire Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hveragerdi-Hotels-Frost-And-Fire-Boutique-Hotel.h8098545.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fagurholsmyri-Hotels-Fosshotel-Glacier-Lagoon.h12794262.Hotel-Information) > > [Magma Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkjubaejarklaustur-Hotels-Magma-Hotel.h19532793.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Beach Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Black-Beach-Suites.h21959953.Hotel-Information) > > [Hótel Kría](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Hotel-Kria.h22847314.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand London Park Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-London-Park-Lane.h9748.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Barcelona (BCN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/bcn/birmingham-to-barcelona) ### Activities > [Things to do in Maidenhead](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Maidenhead.d5633.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Penang Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penang.d2766.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Rome Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome.d179899.Holidays-City-Breaks)
