Beautiful little apartment in Holmavic. We stayed for two nights while exploring the western fjords. Easy self check in, well-equipped apartment, immaculate, with nice amenities!

Lovely old house, cute interior. But be aware very thin walls so you hear everything from your neighbours. Has a kitchen for cooking but I think misses an extractor van. Smelled very bad of cooking though out the house.

A very nice, clean, and cozy guesthouse with a full kitchen and private bath and room. We stayed in apartment 1 and highly recommend it for anyone looking to stay in a quiet part of town, and use all the amenities of a great Icelandic guesthouse. Restaurant within walking distance as well as great view of the harbor. Museum of sorcery across the street.

The guest house is a basic bedroom upstairs. You do have a shared shower downstairs and the beds are comfortable. There is a kitchen to prepare food with dishes and the shared living room offers a TV and couches. While we were there we met the Czech caretaker who was wonderful. The place is not as clean as other guest houses we stayed at in Iceland (which you could eat off the floor). It was a good deal in the right place at the right time. Location is good if you are near the West Fjord area. The town is small but has a grocery and a restaurant. Buy food at the grocery the night before for breakfast in the AM. There is nothing near the area once your leave town.

Good enough, though light isolation wasn't great in summer and the kitchen could benefit from cooking essentials.

The house is old, giving it charm and character! The floors are beautiful. We stayed in one of the queen size rooms, which was ample for the 2 of us! Unfortunately the second night was a FULL house with a poor mannered family yelling throughout the house for a good portion of the night, and the walls are PAPER thin!! Also, the shower drains incredibly slow so you have to turn it off while sudsing up, then turn it back on. The poor mannered family flooded the bathroom and we had to clean it up! Overall, I would stay again! It was a great home base to get around the West Fjords.

Hi Jamie, Thanks for the positive feedback.I would like to apologize that you had to deal with the other guests. We try to implement strict polices regarding the stay of every guest but i guess its not bulletproof. Regarding the drainage rest assured we will fix it asap and I really do hope that next time when you are in Iceland you will consider us again:) Have a wonderful day

Le patron était super, il nous a donné de très bons conseils et idées d'activités. Par contre l'hébergement est assez vieux et c'était mal insonorisé. Ce n'était pas très propre... La poubelle n'a pas été vidé et les linges n'ont pas été changé. Pas seulement les notres mais ceux de la salle de bain, alors qu'une dizaine de perosnnes dorment là-bas chaque jour...

Basic stay - Great location
Great location in Hólmavik. The stay was good, basic rooms yet well equiped kitchen. We did not like that everything felt unattended. We did not meet anyone in two days and we did not receive the entry code on time, so on arrival we had to google their phone number and call for instructions (they should have it more visible) Overall, everything was very clean yet a bit old. Its terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the Northern Lights!

Arrivée un peu chaotique n'ayant pas reçu de mail explicatif. Réception dans un autre hôtel, avec un numéro de contact erroné. Établissement vieillot, mais confortable. Douches au rez de chaussée, petite cuisine avec peu d'équipements.

Top bien que bruyant
Nous avions l’appartement numéro 2 au sous-sol et le plancher très mal isolé nous laissait entendre tout ce qui se passait au-dessus (les toilettes se trouvent au-dessus de la chambre à coucher, je vous laisse imaginer le charmant réveil. Sinon tout était au top, petite cuisine mais bien aménagée, canapé confortable et luxe ultime : une baignoire pour se réchauffer après une journée de pluie.

Appartement sympa. Près du port. Bonne literie. Four, plaque électrique et frigo. Casseroles et poêles usées. Nuit étape avec ravitaillement avant les fjords de l’ouest. Rapport qualité prix correct.

Gott að vera
Það var allt hreint og fínt, við vorum bara 2 í öllu húsinu og vont veður úti. Þá var dálítið draugalegt. Húsgögnin og innréttingar eru gömul og lúin, rúmfötin þreytt en gott að dvelja þarna.
