Great Stay!

Exceeded my expectations, friendly host who waited for us since we arrived 20 minutes passed the end of check out time (call ahead though if you’re running late). We stayed in the room with the private bathroom and bathroom was nice (renovated) and very clean. Would stay here again! Only downside was the breakfast was very expensive per person

Good distance from Vik as well as the ferry. We were disappointed that there were no common dining facilities to eat our dinner as the dining room was only open at breakfast if you paid to get their breakfast. No food allowed in the common tv room either. There is a fridge and microwave but not dishware so bring some if you intend to eat your own food. Room and bathrooms are clean and comfortable and the sink in the room was convenient. The hostess was very nice!

Great little place to stay and relax. Small rooms but that is to be expected. No tv in room and breakfast is not included which was noted beforehand. A little pricier for what you are getting but overall it was a very comfortable stay.

Never again

The place has nothing which can qualify as hotel . Location bad , infrastructure nil , cleanliness zero, no service is the only service. How such properties get listed in Hotels.com is a question. I felt like completely cheated by Hotels.com

Guesthouse Vellir is a hostel that I only ventured into the hallway where my room was. I’m not sure how many rooms, but in my hallway, there were 11 with 2 bathrooms. The room I was in was ok, but definitely not great. The bed was not very comfortable, though better than some I have slept in. The area is fairly quiet, but a bit far from the road. The woman running the hostel is quite nice and very welcoming.
