“Loistava sijainti, mutta ylihintainen”

Englendingav k Homestay sijaitsee erinomaisella paikalla! Saimme selkeät ohjeet postitse. Omistajat olivat lomalla, kun he olivat kiireisiä homestayn kunnostamiseen.

Englendingav k Homestay sijaitsee erinomaisella paikalla! Saimme selkeät ohjeet postitse. Omistajat olivat lomalla, kun he olivat kiireisiä homestayn kunnostamiseen. On hyvä, että he rakentavat ylimääräisiä suihkuja ja wc: tä. Valitettavasti vain yksi ylimääräisistä suihkusta toimi, mutta sitä ei voitu lukita. Huoneet tarvitsevat myös vähän kunnostusta! Neljän hengen huone on jaettu kahteen huoneeseen. Valitettavasti toisessa huoneessa ei ole ikkunoita / tuuletusta.

“Basic homestay”

Our stay at the Homestay was fair. The premises overall are lovely and nestled in a nice, quiet part of Borgarnes, though not too quiet with a few shops around. It is right on a nice path alongside the water, and the restaurant that is part of the establishment has lovely waterfront patio seating. … lisää

Our stay at the Homestay was fair. The premises overall are lovely and nestled in a nice, quiet part of Borgarnes, though not too quiet with a few shops around. It is right on a nice path alongside the water, and the restaurant that is part of the establishment has lovely waterfront patio seating. The restaurant was amazing, and the staff were fantastic and friendly. The Homestay itself was just okay. We did the private room with an en suite bathroom. The entrance was in the back on the building facing the restaurant. There were large spiderwebs with very large spiders on the deck leading to the room. The room itself was pretty small, and it was pretty plain. Everything was clean, but it was very basic. The water coming from the faucets smelled strongly of sulphur (only place in our trip that had water smelling), and we were happy we did not need to shower since we had at a spa. It did the job, but we probably wouldn’t be eager to stay again. We would 100% dine here again though.

“Overpriced but with nice view and old world charm”

We reached here after driving through a crazy storm with massive wind speeds and I hadn’t received any instructions on email for some reason…but found them in my booking.com app thankfully.

We reached here after driving through a crazy storm with massive wind speeds and I hadn’t received any instructions on email for some reason…but found them in my booking.com app thankfully. Apart from lugging our heavy suitcases up a floor :D the place was quiet, facing the sea - really sound proof thankfully and also can become dark - which is super important to be able to sleep when you have light pretty much 20-22 hours of the day! Couch, dining table with 2 chairs, beds and additional bedroom with 3rd bed (which was a pleasant surprise) - we had thought it would all be in one room. It is a charming old house which has been renovated well. The kitchenette is tiny and cramped - you won’t be able to do too much there. The bathroom is big but the sink is tiny and there are absolutely no hooks, neither for toilet paper, nor for your clothes which is inconvenient. There is no reception and breakfast is not included…you are supposed to be able to go to their restaurant below and get it (although unsure of the timings as it hadn’t opened till we left at 9am). Overall compared to the rest of the places we had stayed at across Iceland, this was not as impressive.
