Welcome Riverside Guesthouse

No hay secadora de cabello, son muchos cuartos para dos baños y dos regaderas de las cuales solo sirve una, la cocina no tenia luz ni para hacerte un café el día que salimos

No hooks in the room to leave jackets or wet towels. Not enough pots and pans for the size of the guesthouse plus one of the stoves did not work. In the showers, nowhere to hang your towel, or your clothes. All of the above are simple fixes that would upgrade the guesthouse.

We enjoyed our stay. The facilities are clean and the kitchen area with the coffee machine was excellent. The self check in was easy an convenient.

The accommodations themselves were nice, but the space likely needed more care than an off-site manager. The women's restroom had two stalls, both of which did not have toilet paper accessible from the dispensers. No other backup toiletpaper was available. No paper towels were available for drying hands at the sink. The kitchen had no dishsoap for the communal dishes. All of these things were brought up via the hotels.com chat to the hotel, and no response was received during our stay there. The shower areas had a single body-gel/soap product and did not have standard shampoo/conditioner/soap as separate products. Bring shower shoes if you don't want to step on the common shower floor. The beds were comfortable, room had enough space compared to other rooms we had stayed in in Iceland so it was nice to be able to to open the suitcase and still step around it.

We were given our checkin information in advance, which was awesome, but it would have been helpful to indicate which building we were in, so we didnt bother a tenant. Kitchen was well equipped.

Kitchen has necessary kitchenware; room is small, though, parking is easy

No front desk for this property. Per the cleaning lady: "if its not between 4pm and 9pm, staff does not usually respond. Like many others i did NOT receive a message with check in info, but I was aware that they frequently have this issue and called in the morning for my door code. Its time for a chahge in how you handle check in, Riverside. Rooms were clean. No rug or shoe rack, so lots of dirt and pebbles get tracked in. Spacious kitchen that is stocked with cooking ware. The walls are thicker than other hostels we have stayed, but the front door slams and can be heard through open windows. We counted 12 rooms, but only 1 bathroom for men. 2 for women. There is an extra unisex one through the kitchen, but the window lines up with the toilet (prepare to moon the neighbors). Showers do not have curtains, or locks on the door. You have to cross the bathroom naked to retrieve your clothes (unless you want them soaked in the shower with you). Mens bathroom also leaks under the wall, so when anyone showers the toilet is soaked around it on the floor. Good price, good location, but just missing too many things and a bit too greedy. We would not stay again.

We thought this place had a decent room and shared kitchen area, although only one out of the two stoves turned on when my husband and I were cooking. The shared bathroom situation was a bit of a challenge for me since I'm in my third trimester, and to get there I had to go through three doors and a brightly lit hallway in the middle of the night. All in all, it's a good place to sleep if you can get through the night without having to pee.

It was convenient for us. There is no parking but we easily found a spot on the street in front.

民宿外街道有免費停車位，房間乾淨整體CP值很高，廚具都很完善（調味料、油需自備），浴室廁所乾淨，有附毛巾、沐浴乳+洗髮精二合一（吹風機需自備）

Misleading pictures and descriptions. The geo thermal pool is a block away and community, not on site and you have to pay. The bathrooms were tiny, dirty and the woman’s room had no lock. Most dispensers had no paper towel and the overall feel was grimy.

No paper towel in kitchen and bathroom. Quite a few flies in the kitchen. Smokers outside the windows are annoying.

Muy sucio, el suelo de la habitacion daba asco, pelusas, chicles y macarrones, un asco no se podia andar descalzo. Y la cocina tambien un asco, ningun control de la gente y su uso, y adi estaba... En fin mejor gasta un poco mas y huye de este sitio

Pleasantly surprised. Great place for just a night of sleep. Very clean and well equipped kitchen.

Yuck ! Worst place we have stayed in Iceland. Toilet room stuck of mould and sewage. Really weird , mouldy shower. Small room. Bad vibes all round. We hated it so much we cancelled our second night and booked elsewhere, thus, loosing the cost of the room. Complete dive!

The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Tanto la habitación como la casa donde nos quedamos estaban impecables. La habitación es pequeña pero apenas para llegar a descansar. La propiedad es mejor en realidad de como aparece en las fotos.

The bathroom were not in its best

Very clean

While the property is safe, there were too many spiders in the room. If you are scared of them, this may not be a place to sleep.

The code was sent to us in the afternoon on the day of our check-in. (We read multiple reviews saying they did not receive the code, so we were concerned, but we didnt have any issue!). The room was spacious for four people. Blackout curtains worked really well. The shower room was close by, and there were washers as well (we did not use it). Kitchen was kept clean, and we were able to warm up our food in microwaves, and keep food in the fridge overnight. Overall, a very excellent stay. Thank you!

Stayed here for the 2nd night during our Iceland trip on the way back to Reykjavik. The code for self-check in was sent the day before. We were in the exact same room again. The room was clean, the shower room worked well, the kitchen was spacious and equipped with two sets of everything (sinks, ovens, stoves, microwaves, fridges, etc). Spacious dining areas with plenty of tables and chairs. Our room was really warm (June) without even turning on the heater. We actually needed to keep the window open to stay cool. The room had nice blackout curtains as well. A little sink in the room was super convenient. Overall, an excellent guesthouse. Thank you!

Did not receive and email about check in process. Got their to learn it self service accommodations. Room is small for three and stuffy. Washrooms and shower okay. Great kitchen area!

Only stayed one night instead of two. Floors were dirty. Some of our group were uncomfortable staying in a room opposite of where the shared bath and shower facilities were located. The other guests were loud. The surrounding area seemed off the beat and track, but not bad. Parking was available nearby. I did call staff to try to ask about nearby laundry facilities and restaurants. I started by saying that I knew they did not have laundry services, but the person just got upset with me and said "we do not have that" and hung up on me. I tried to call back but never got anyone to answer the phone after that. Very rude. Very frustrating.

Difficulty getting in and other guests let us in. Average room

Terrible Experience – Avoid This Place I stayed from September 6th to 8th, and it was awful. The check-in process was chaotic, with poor communication and long delays. On the second night, I was locked out of my room for over an hour, and the emergency contact was unresponsive. The property itself was also disappointing—broken doors, bathrooms without working locks, poorly equipped kitchens, and rooms with a bad smell. Many services were either absent or non-functional. Despite my complaints, I haven’t received any response from management. Definitely not recommended.

Giusto tre letti senza possibilità di appoggiare nulla e un lavandino. Cucina basic senza neppure il sale. Meglio di niente ma nessun comfort

Stressful check-in. The host was not responsive. They never sent the check-in instruction email and when I followed up via messaging them on Expedia repeatedly, they never responded. We had to call Expedia customer service (which required activating roaming service on our phone) and get them contact the property manager/host and even then they sent the passcode 1 hour after the original start time for of check-in. The stay itself went ok with no particular problem. Overall, a decent stay given its lower price range.

Internal is neat and moden. Alternative phone number and emails are posted and there is a working landlines phone in the entrance area, no need to worry not getting the room code . But it would be nice to get the room access code one day in advance. I got mt room code emails around 12pm of arrival day.

Le check in était un cauchemar, aucun code reçu à l’avance pour accéder à la chambre il y a un numéro à joindre, aucune réponse après 21 appels…heureusement que hôtels.com à réussi a les joindre et à nous donner le code après 1h de galère. Serviette de bain des clients précédents restée dans l’armoire…Le + : Ce n’est pas cher et les équipements communs ne sont pas mal.

Fantastic accommodation, only hiccup was not receiving the codes prior and that no obe answered on the phone number provided. Another guest provided an email address and the check in eas then quicly sorted. Suggestion: Please provide a note with email as well as the phobe number for cobtact in the foyer and state that they have an open wifi connection for which allows for email to be sent ( especially for foreign ttravellers.) Very happy overall!

Self check-in was really easy to use, room was clean and comfortable. Kitchen is nice, with a coffee maker.

They never answered the phone or provided check-in information. I needed to contact housekeeper for help.

Arrived at 8:30pm. Tried many times to open the door with the code they sent us, would not open. Called the company, texted and sent them a message through expedia. No response. Even had a expedia agent try to contact them, no luck. Tried to get a refund and did not get one. Absolute joke compared to the other places we stayed in Iceland.

I had a horrible experience with this place. We arrived late to the guesthouse due to some trouble on our way and couldn’t get in as there was no key left. There was no pin left to get the key. When we tried to contact on the given phone number, there was no response. We were left outside on the street in the extreme cold weather with nowhere to go. With great difficulty got another hotel for the overnight stay. We contacted the reception of the guesthouse the next day and she was very rude and blunt with no consideration to our ordeal.

Schönes und sauberes Guesthouse. Waren 2mal dort weil die Ausgangslage gut war.

We were given our checkin information in advance, which was awesome, but it would have been helpful to indicate which building we were in, so we didnt bother a tenant. Kitchen was well equipped.

Kitchen has necessary kitchenware; room is small, though, parking is easy

Self check in facility, room was basic, but good kitchen facilities. 200 m from the Guesthouse there is a very good fish/chips place for dinner.

It was convenient for us. There is no parking but we easily found a spot on the street in front.

Très propre et chaleureux. Le Check-in était facile, les espaces communs et les chambres étaient très propres. Les stationnements étaient directement devant les chambres et l'entrée principale de l'hébergement. Seulement beaucoup d'action dans les salles communes, quasiment jusqu'à 23:30/minuit.

The staff was helpful. The building was clean and comfortable. We saw the northern lights there😊!

Prima accomodatie met goede keuken en andere faciliteiten. Goed uitgangspunt voor excursie naar het binnenland. Twee mooie kleine watervallen in de rivier vlak in de buurt!

La señora encantadora, aunque te vigila en el desayuno y cohíbe un poco, no dice nada, pero le dice a la gente a qué hora acaba su franja de desayuno, hace turnos.

We enjoyed our stay. The facilities are clean and the kitchen area with the coffee machine was excellent. The self check in was easy an convenient.

We had the same issues like the other guests reviews and more. We didn’t receive the check-in code for the room and I had to call to get it. The lady was really rude, hang up the phone without a “bye”. HUGE SECURITY issue: in the early morning, someone used the room code and opened our room door. Luckily left without anything happening, but this is not acceptable!!! Another problem: washers were not working (not even connected to the water!) and no coffee in the coffee machine. When I asked the cleaning lady for more coffee, she just said “run out”. Wifi didn’t work in our room at all. We were the only room behind the kitchen with really loud banging doors waking us up when people went into the kitchen or the shared bathroom.
