What guests think

Eyjólfsstadir Guesthouse is a clean, well‑run rural stay outside Egilsstaðir, known for friendly staff, a generous included breakfast with homemade items, and simple rooms, making it a practical base for road‑trippers and nature lovers.

The scenic grounds and on‑site walking trail are frequently praised, as are the tidy common spaces with all‑day tea and coffee. Shared bathrooms are generally clean with private cubicles, but at busy times some guests found them messy or too few, and carrying luggage upstairs can be difficult as there is no elevator. Rooms are simple and sometimes small, with handy in‑room sinks; noise can travel through thin walls, though others reported quiet nights. Expect a value‑focused stay in a peaceful countryside setting.

Warm and welcoming! They have a great common room where you can sit and enjoy the amazing views. Coffee and tea are available 27/7. Breakfast was full of variety - fresh breads, fruit, cereals/granola, butter, jams, Nutella, and peanut butter, cheese and ham. **For a small fee you can pack your own lunch from the breakfast supplies!! Fresh cookies and giant cinnamon rolls available for purchase. Staff was outstanding.

Breakfast was difficult because there were so many delicious choices. I want their baker to move to our town! They have a 2km trail on their rural property that you simply should not skip.

Struttura e camere pulite. Ottimo il té e il caffè a disposizione dei clienti ad ogni ora. Il bagno in comune e la mancanza di una cucina utilizzabile da parte dei clienti sono il motivo di una votazione non particolarmente alta. Buona la colazione compresa nel prezzo della camera.

My choice had no separate bathroom. The room was just big enough for two single beds, no TV, no kettle, nothing. But the shared bathrooms were spacious and efficient. Plenty of water pressure on the tap so that you can finish-off your showers. Only problem I experienced was the insulation between rooms. I had to bear a man coughing for a long time through the thin wall. Breakfast was very good. You can prepare your own lunchbox for 1,000 ISK. There is no shared kitchen but you can use a big fridge for your food.

This is a shared bathroom guest house. The worst thing is that the restroom is above our room. Every 10 minutes there was a flush and we heard all through the night! Terrible! If it is shared bathroom, they should put bathrooms on two floors at the same location (one above the other ) or improve the sound insulation! I regret that I chose this place to stay very much!!!!!

We were leery of the shared bathroom situation but everything was kept very clean and it actually all worked out just fine. Lovely breakfast! The rooms were simple, but had everything we needed- having the sink was nice so you didn’t have to run to the shared bathroom to brush your teeth and whatnot. My little girl forgot her Kindle and the team there notified us as quickly as possible but we were already too far away to turn back. I worked with a few wonderful ladies via email and phone and they arranged to ship it to our last hotel before leaving Iceland. They were so sweet and helpful and we really appreciated their kindness!
