The self-check-in process was super easy, and we really appreciated the location in Þorlákshöfn — just about an hour from Reykjavík and the airport. On our first night, we took a short walk to the local community recreation center, where a kind local recommended a nearby spot called Thai Sakhon. We gave it a try, and the food was great! During our stay, we went on several day trips — to Diamond Beach (about 4.5 hours away), Vík (around 2 hours), and Selfoss (only 20 minutes). We usually got back late, but one night we discovered another great restaurant right next to Thai Sakhon called Super1pizza. We ended up chatting with a friendly local there who told us about life in Iceland — it was such a nice, unexpected highlight of our trip. The area around the guesthouse felt safe and welcoming, even though it’s in a slightly industrial part of town. Þorlákshöfn itself is quiet but easy to walk around. We loved spotting Icelandic horses near the water by the local church (about a 10-minute walk from the guesthouse), and the Krónan grocery store just a few minutes away was super convenient. Our room was simple, clean, and comfortable — exactly what we needed after long days of exploring. The guesthouse only provides soap (no shampoo) and doesn’t have a common area or lobby, but that’s typical for guesthouses and didn’t bother us at all. Overall, our stay was relaxing, comfortable, and a perfect base for exploring ##### Mark Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 23 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Can’t say enough about how this property surprised me. Outside looked ok but interior was fantastic. Modern, clean great look. Quiet at night. Nice Cafe Bristol about a block away. ##### Timothy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 10 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a beautiful little gem in a quiet location. The room was exactly like the picture, spacious, clean and comfortable. I was a little worried about the fact that there was no staff on site, however the staff responded quickly to my emails and provided great service. I was very impressed. Great work! ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelby 18 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The checkin is self service so be sure to check your email for how to get into the building as there is no receptionist. It was very easy to do though. We got to our room and it was clean and smelled very fresh. After spending the night we left and ran into the owner in the hallway. He was very friendly and helped us with our luggage. The Black Beach Guesthouse is a great choice. I would recommend anyone stay while in Iceland. ##### Shelby Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Euain 17 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, amenities Checkin was a bit poor - the keypad on the door was not working properly and the phone number supplied was answered by someone who would not offer any help, just told us to send an email. We got in eventually after several attempts. Property itself was fine - clean enough, warm, comfy. Not an awful lot in walking distance though it is well placed to access some some great attractions (lava tube, Litle Hrutur etc.). ##### Euain Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The property itself was sparkling clean and modern, apparently recently built. Rooms are on the 2nd floor, so the elevator was a big plus had strong wifi service. But, the area is largely an industrial seaport (though quiet) and the nearest "beach" is a mile away. There is no onsite staff, and they email you building entry instructions the morning of arrival. This is not a practical plan for travelers without local cell service. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryce 10 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great stay ##### Bryce Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cailin 2 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location for what we were doing ##### Cailin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wanstead Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Wanstead-Hotel.h36502755.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Broad Haven - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haverfordwest-Hotels-YHA-Broad-Haven-Hostel.h11518399.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Geysir](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blaskogabyggd-Hotels-Hotel-Geysir.h35127378.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Eilean Donan Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eilean-Donan-Castle-Hotels.0-l6088815-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Blue Hotel Fagrilundur - On The Golden Circle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blaskogabyggd-Hotels-Blue-Hotel-Fagrilundur.h67447523.Hotel-Information) > > [Stracta Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rangaring-Ytra-Hotels-Stracta-Hotel.h7986040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in London City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-City-Centre-London-Hotels.0-n6195474-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Civic Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Civic-Hotel.h58142911.Hotel-Information) > > [Guesthouse Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hrunamannahreppur-Hotels-Guesthouse-Fluir-Grund.h21960495.Hotel-Information) > > [Pensione Wildner](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Pensione-Wildner.h2542296.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Playa Larga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Larga-Hotels.d6348738.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Ireland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Ireland-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d84-tHotelswithWaterslides.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Talbot and Bons Boutique Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gudja-Hotels-Talbot-And-Bons-Boutique-Bed-Breakfast.h24429586.Hotel-Information) > > [Moss Grove Organic](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ambleside-Hotels-Moss-Grove-Organic.h11899451.Hotel-Information) > > [NDR Residencies](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ilfracombe-Hotels-North-Devon-Resort.h66694997.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Hjar Ennhal (TNG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/tng/manchester-to-tangier) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Tuban (DPS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/dps/manchester-to-denpasar) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Madison (MSN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/msn/london-to-madison) ### Cars > [National Car Rental at Ncp Car Park 170 Marylebone Road London GBR](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Car-Rental-at-Ncp-Car-Park-170-Marylebone-Road-London-GBR.v62346.Car-Rental-Guide-Location) ### Activities > [Things to do in Dunblane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Dunblane.d5718.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Brecon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Brecon.d5613.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### Holiday Rentals > [Porto Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Holiday-Rentals.d603077.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General ---
