What guests think

Reviews of Blue House B&B describe a friendly, budget‑minded guesthouse in a quiet, scenic neighborhood near Reykjavík, with useful shared kitchens and common spaces, generally clean rooms, and variable comfort across different buildings and room types.

Guests consistently praise friendly, helpful service with clear self‑check‑in instructions and quick responses, though some were surprised by early charges or being moved to a nearby sister property. Facilities suit self‑catering, but some report small or shared bathrooms and kitchens, occasional maintenance issues, and limited climate control or soundproofing. The coastal location offers views and easy drives to the center, but walking downtown can be long; expect a simple, home‑style stay with variability between rooms.

The staff were really nice. However there were some problems with the equipment: one toilet's flush button got stuck and we had to turn of the water tap to stop wasting water, the dish water's seal was jammed when a guest started it. Good things about the place: there are free cakes in the kitchen and food (rice, noodles, instant coffee, etc) left there by previous guests on a kitchen shelf.

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!

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.

House was very cute. The ceiling was VERY sloped in the Interpol room, and I couldn't stand in most of the room - I did hit my head a couple times getting out of the bed as well. If you are tall, I'd probably skip this room. Property was pretty clean as well, but there was a very strong fragrance in the room.

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.

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.

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.
