Great place with spacious rooms. Floor in the main lobby is also heated. Showers/bathrooms are clean with good water pressure. Check out time is a bit early which is the only downside (10am)

Room was very small, but that seems the norm in private guesthouses in Iceland. Close to roadway. Easy to find..great kitchen. I loved that there was milk for coffee!

Lovely place to stay. Similar to a hostel but everyone staying here were quiet and friendly. One star removes due to the duvet being uncomfortable, was quite rough against my skin. Otherwise, would come back!

Very interesting property! Would have loved to know more about it since it seemed like a sheep farm but I wasn’t sure if it’s still used. Interesting building in the back as well.
Scenery is beautiful. Big common space with 3 bathrooms shared by the rooms!

Friendly staff, good room, bathing and kitchen facilities are great. The close by and associated restaurant Gamla Flosid offers good food and service. I have no complaints and recommend South Iceland Guesthouse.

We had a wonderful stay here. The beds were so comfortable and the room was very clean. We ate dinner at their restaurant across the road and had the best Icelandic cod. Bathrooms were clean and shower was nice. I would recommend this place to a friend.

This was our first time staying at a Guesthouse and can say it was a positive experience. The place was clean and you have access to a communal kitchen. The rooms were quiet and the bed was comfy. They had blackout blinds but the 2" gap between them make them less effective. Everyone seemed to respect each others' space. We were hesitant about sharing bathrooms but it was no big deal. It would be nice to have an extra towel or two, and a place to hang them in the room. Also, you have to use individual hand drying towels in the shared bathroom which is fine but that stack ran out very quickly.

The property itself is well decorated and comfortable. However, with 5-6 families sharing one bathroom and kitchen, it is a little bit crowded.

Nice clean and pretty, there’s a big kitchen and 3 shared bathrooms. We had our dinner at the restaurant where we checked in, it was quite nice.
