The garden and the building were very beautiful and comfortable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark A 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet location - great host! Our host was very gracious and really took care of us. The room and WC area were great. The breakfast provided was a feast. And, we talked about some of the things we were still hoping to see and his knowledge of the country provided some direction that was really helpful, allowing us to see more of what we had read might be possible. ##### Mark A Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine 7 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cute and cozy cabins. Host was very pleasant and a wealth of information about Iceland as he is well travelled. Breakfast was delicious and abundant.

It was very quiet and comfortable. There are no restaurants for dinner near by so plan ahead. The breakfast was included and had a good selection of things to eat. It was served at a big table in the main house and gave us a chance to meet the host and the other guests. ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ying 23 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner is friendly and fun. We arrived after 10pm but he was waiting for us there. The best part is he shared lots of his adventures and photos. We were so inspired by his interesting life. And we had great chat with other passengers too during the nice free breakfast. This is the best stay of our Iceland trip! We loved it ##### ying Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander 1 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We booked the accomodation via expedia though it was closed and not prepared for guests when we arrived on site. The host was not on site but managed a friend to prepare everything for us and hand us over the key - so we had the entire appartment for our own and a very firendly and helpful neighbour. Great service! ##### Alexander Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 4 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One Night in the Country Check in at Alfastein was stated as 6pm and that’s all the information we received initially. Luckily, we found Agust’s phone number and he helped us locate the key to let ourselves in. Soon after, Keli, the host came to welcome us and made sure we were settled. He made us feel very welcome, since we had to leave very early in the morning he fixed up the coffee for us and even offered a huge bag of bread to feed to the horses. This was such a memorable activity. We also got to see some Aurora although it was a bit cloudy. The whole house was very clean, full of interesting items, the beds were incredibly comfortable after a long day and we were warm all night. I wish we could’ve stayed here several more days. Thank you for your hospitality. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B88ADC56FA38F5C87D9989F3931AEAD1BAAA054C1728052266422.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F457C2018076EA9648E235F339856E278D3B9BC21728052265867.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/23D16C506E15507974AAC24780C24FB400288A9F1728052266252.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay Agust is an excellent host.

There were also horses living on the other side of the fence, we had a joy feeding and petting them! The location was also a plus, far enough from town to enjoy the stars and country atmosphere, but near enough for a short drive for meals and groceries (\~10 mins). ##### Samantha Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The host was amazing with Icelandic knowledge, friendly and the accommodations were beautiful.
