this is a good location and close to the pool. the rooms were nice and the owners gave us an extra room at no charge as we were the only guests. The kitchen was dirty, but we complained and the owners said that it has been professionally cleaned since our visit.

Had a 4 night stay booked here but on arrival got to know that the landlord had overbooked and looked very worried as it was his mistake. I asked for an alternative accomodation and he booked me a better place at the same price and in the vicinity, even though it was during peak sesaon.

Comfortable, good location, and very well endowed! However, as practically everywhere in Iceland, the owners are really detached and uninvolved (that is why I did not rate it 4 out of 5). A big plus: the hot tub in the garden, offering some terrific and relaxing moments...

Even though I had made my reservation more than a month in advance, it still took forever for them to get back to me every time I needed to contact them. A week before I arrived they sent me an email asking me to call when I was on my way, but they did not pick up the phone. When... More

I reserved weeks in advanced and was to stay for a night today. I called to check-in since they don't have people stationed at the guesthouse to serve you, which is understandable since it's off season. I called for an hour, at both numbers provided and no one picked up. Must have made 30 calls. Took a cab to the... More

Instead of staying in the guesthouse, we booked a house from Brekkuselt - obviously more expensive but a small peaceful luxury for a family. It accomodated easily and nicely four persons. Nice not too plush decoration, good kitchen facilities, flat TV+DVD. A very nice view to the fjord. Parking available by the street next to the front door. Spacious and... More

We stayed two nights in Brekkusel. It was overall a nice place and would have been a nice stay if it was cleaner and more comfortable. The bed we had was very lumpy, and not only that, didn't appear to be covered with a real sheet. It looked almost as if it was just covered with a badly stained mattress... More

This was a lovely self catering room, with en suite kitchen and bathroom. Spacious, warm ad tastefully decorated, we were a short walk away from the town centre. Very good value for money - highly recommended.
