Booking
Arrival Date
Prices
Our House has only private rooms now. We used to offer dorm beds as well but there have been so many hostels built around us recently that there is more of a demand for private rooms + it was getting too hectic for me to handle all the different dorm bed bookings. . Although the rooms are listed here as twin rooms and one single, there are still extra beds and/or bunk beds in some of the rooms so just e-mail me if you are traveling with more people and I can probably arrange that.
The five private rooms we have, vary in shapes and sizes and you won´t really know which one you'll get until you arrive e because of possible changes in bookings and other guests' numbers and needs. You won´t want to waste much time in your room anyway and all of them do their job as a place where you can sleep (provided your fellow housemates are considerate during the night).

Discounts
There is no discount offered for using a sleeping bag or bringing your own bed linen. In fact, we discourage it as do most places I know of to reduce the risk of world travelers spreading bed bugs on their journey, a huge problem in the travel industry these days
You can however get a 10% discount for all sorts of things: staying for 7 nights or more in the wintertime, 5 or more in the summertime, being a returning guest, being a musician (as long as I like the music), traveling with your family not your friends (and young children can possibly stay with you for free if there is room for them. Ask by e-mail)
All taxes and facilities included. Rates are in the local Icelandic krona currency. To view prices in your own local currency, please use a currency converter
Like you, I am shocked and embarrassed at the prices for the summer! They are double the winter ones. But it's not my decision alone to make and the rates are similar to the well located places around us. The government has put new taxes on accommodation and prices everywhere are rising. Although places are almost empty in the winter they are overloaded in the summer with increased traveler traffic and we have to use that time (3 months) to rake in money to float us over the winter season, but also I think the whole Icelandic tourist industry has gotten greedy knowing that they are in such high demand and I am sorry about following them instead of swimming upstream
A booking in our house can be made through e-mail or the booking system on this page. It is secured once you get a personal confirmation e-mail from me (not that automatic one you get right after you book). Please have patience with me, i'm busy and lazy at the same time and it can take me a few days to get back to you if the booking isn´t a last minute one or the request is urgent. No deposit is required, just let me know of any changes as soon as you can. Payment is preferrably upon or soon after arrival because I may not be there when you check out. We take cash (any currency) and credit cards. We have even had a guest pay part of his bill with a crocheted shawl he made while here!
Things happen. Please let us know by e-mail as soon as possible if circumstances change and you need to cancel. There are no cancelation fees.
I don´t want to stop you from having any adventures that come your way. If you are already at the guesthouse and decide to change your travel plans and cancel some nights you can do that and get a refund for those nights but please try to plan ahead if you can. We are a small guesthouse with only a few rooms and too many last minute cancelations will put major dents in our income

Check in time is 13-ish and Check out time is 11-ish We are very flexible though. You can drop off your luggage off and go explore until your room is ready, have breakfast and hang out here or go right in and take a nap if no one was using the room before you so please e-mail us with your estimated arrival time. Arrival time is also important because there is not always someone here to meet you. I (Bedda, the owner) have three little kids that require all my attention after school so if you plan to arrive before 9 am or after 16 pm you will most likely get instructions by e-mail on how you can let yourselves in and start making yourselves at home. When you check out you are welcome to leave your luggage here and hang out until you have to leave for the airport.
