It was okish. Kitchen can be kept clean as it is a common area and used very much. Overall house and the room we stayed in has some smell which could be more pleasant for a comfortable stay.

Lovely home away from home. Comfy bed, free on street parking, quiet neighbourhood. The top of the hill opposite the B&B was also great for watching the Northern Lights.Staff were lovely and made traditional Icelandic pancakes.

Great place clean and well situated, they really took good care of me, they delivered my room before 16h and that was so much appreciated. I was impressed, will book again!

The Photo Are Misleading

This B&B has multiple estates. The photo here, however, only shows the best parts of these facilities. The room/ house we stay in definitely needs maintenance. The sofa is dirty with dark spots everywhere. The entrance got stuck and was hard to push open from the inside. The bathroom is only a simple shower, not the ones in the photo and is dim. The rooms on the floor we stayed on were very dim, as they were in the half-basement, and the air was kind of steamy. The price is cheap, though

The green house is a pleasant little annexe behind the main building, equipped kitchen, clean and pretty! Friendly and welcoming host, lovely peaceful area near the Grotta lighthouse and handy for buses to town.

Stayed here in October on our last day! Nice place, cozy and quiet. Not too far from shopping district. Good if you have a rental car. Would stay here again if we go back!

We needed a bed and this worked. Premises were not well kept but the staff person was great.

10/10 Exceptional

It’s about a 50 minute drive to Keflavík airport but very close to the city center (7 minute drive) and only 15-20 minute drive to Sky Lagoon). The beds were super comfy. Pretty rustic overall but that’s part of the charm.

Nice!

Nice place for a night, we enjoyed it and felt at home . Shared bathroom which is funky, small but nice.

Beautiful neighborhood close to shopping and restaurants. We were there during a hot week so the rooms upstairs would benefit from use of a fan since there is no A/C.
Cindy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely breakfast available for purchase, homemade breads. The upstairs bath had a nice scrub and toiletries for guest use, rooms were a little small, and the other guests didn’t respect the quiet hours, but otherwise lovely stay
Meaghan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfy but kind of busy.

We were there 3 nights and each night there was turn over of people about 3-4 new people. It was just a lot of change and noise and nuissance for a quaint little BnB.

10/10 Exceptional

Was a really nice little spot in a quiet secluded area. There aren't too many amenities close by (other than the local pool) so it would require a little drive/taxi to get to restaurants or shopping. So many nice personal touches like info on how best to view the northern lights. Wonderful operators, so friendly.
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect place to stay to visit the area.

I stayed in the Grótta Northern Lights property which is just a short walk from the Blue House building. It was really clean, warm, peaceful and comfortable and Andrea was very helpful with some good tips of places to visit. A perfect place to stay to explore the area. It was very handy to have a kitchen and seating area to prepare meals should you not want to eat out. A few minutes drive away is the Grótta Island Lighthouse which is a good place to see the Northern lights, but you can also see them from the park on the other side of the road. Don't forget to visit the Kvika Footbath to warm your feet!

We liked the info we received in advance by email and app; very convenient because we arrived late; nice answers on our questions and good service and very gentil in helping and serving. Nice room and bathroom; downstairs also but the shower curtain was not easy to handle; rather old fashioned. But evrything was very oke and nice to talk to the other quests😃.

Got there at 2am... They still answered my questions and help me with some issues, which is amazing, really good experience, highly recommended.

The snaefellness room smelled bad. Others people commented on the smell but I didn’t believe them. I would never recommend this place to anyone it was below average for Iceland. The bed was old and so were the pillows. It really was like a hostel. The woman working the desk was great. She made it better experience.

Self check in- never went to the main house to meet the manager. Didn't want to pay extra for breakfast. This property is necessarily the actual picture shown. They will bill you about a week before you actually stay if you use the pay at hotel option.
Stephanie, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

We had low expectations for this place and it was still disappointing. We booked a bed and breakfast but they do not serve breakfast unless you pay extra. It was too expensive so we went to the only open bakery nearby. Place seems to be run by unpaid interns. The house is about an hour walk from downtown. The house is poorly soundproofed so we woke up every couple of hours to people coming in and out even though I’m a heavy sleeper and was super tired. Would not stay here again. Feels like a landlord scheme.
Anna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Be aware of the practice of this hotel. 1/they charge you about ten days before you check in even though the Expedia receipt says you only need to pay on arrival. If you don’t want to pay that early they threat to cancel your booking. If you ask them to show you the Expedia listing where it says this policy they would only say it is their policy. 2/ they would sell you to a different hotel. In our case we were asked to stay at Grotta northern light hotel. We didn’t even step into the blue house hotel. 3/the beddings in the grotta hotel were so worn and they smelled stinky - particularly the pillows. The bathroom was so dirty - the house overall was a bit run down. 4/ if you book two nights with them they will arrange you in two different hotels. In our case we complained and requested to stay in the same room which they eventually agreed.
