Loved our stay at guesthouse Bjarney. Awesome hosts, super nice. Out of all the hotels we stayed in (4 total), this was our favorite in Iceland. Super clean, free parking, spacious room, great hosts. Please do note that the hosts live in the guesthouse as well, we thought that would be awkward at first but it wasn't. The hosts are super nice, they let us use their jacuzi and sauna. Would recommend!

La chambre était propre mais très petite sans petit déjeuner mais avec possibilité de faire café ou thé. Elle est bien pour un séjour d'une nuit. Ce qui sauve la mise c'est la gentillesse des hôtes qui ont été serviables et ont donné de bons conseils pour les visites.

B&B room was NOT as advertised

We contacted the owner as requested when we knew what our expected arrival time was. She told us she had to go to the doctor in Reykjavik which was 45 mins away. Nobody was there for check in. She said the "caravan" was open but we booked the room expecting it to be inside the house as described on the website. We waited for 3 1/2 hours in our rental car for her to return and still nobody showed up. We tried calling and texting her and got no response until she got back around 6:20. We left and got a hotel room in town before she returned.

주인집 가정에서 숙박하는건데 주인집은 어느정도 친절하지만 가족들과 같은 공간에 있다는 점에서 자유도나, 조금 늦은 시간까지 거실에 있는게 눈치보입니다.

Great location, friendly host + hot tub & sauna.

I picked this location as the end stop of my day driving the Golden Circle. The house was quite nice, the host very friendly though it is located in a bland "suburb" area of the town. Great kitchen facilities, a grocery store close by (driving) and best of all a hot tub and sauna to relax in at the end of a long day.

Wonderful host; clean, comfortable place to stay

David is the perfect host!! He went to great lengths to make us comfortable - even though his back was hurting he gave us a tour of his house, showed us our room, even spent 30+ minutes giving tips on what to visit/do during our stay in Iceland. Really great guy. His house is beautiful; the accommodation very clean, comfortable and quiet. David offered his kitchen for use; also made coffee for us in the morning. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness

middling stay, cramped caravan.

The location was a bit difficult to find. There was no visible signboard to indicate the guesthouse. We stayed in a on-site caravan. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed but it was a bit cramped, and I have two small sized kids. I would imagine it would be very difficult to host four big sized adults. We were allowed to use the bathrooms in the house, which were very comfortable and clean. Although the website showed nice photos of a big kitchen , we were asked to cook in the caravan , which was a bit of a disappointment.

Lovely home in Selfoss

David and Bjarney were friendly and so accommodating. Their home is quite modern; never before took a shower where I could press a button and listen to the radio while I showered! They offered coffee and tea in the morning and have a hot tub that fills and heats in an hour. Other people were staying there and David picked them up at the bus station and took them back again the next morning. They truly went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable.

Overpriced for what you get

We weren't aware that we would be sharing a house with the owners as the ad made it sound like we would have our own facilities. In fact the only part we had to ourself was our room and even the cupboards were completely filled with the owners belongings. Compared to other hotels we have stayed in while in Iceland, this has been more expensive and not up to the same standard. This place would have been more appropriate if in the ad it was made clear that we would be living in close quarters with the owners. And even then, is too expensive for what you get.

Skønt ophold i Island hos Guesthouse Bjarney

Gæstfrie og meget imødekommende værtsfolk. Åbnede deres hjem for gæster som om det var egne familiemedlemmer, skønt!!! Køkkenudstyr, komfur mv. til fri afbenyttelse hvilket var dejligt. Badeværelset rent og alt var stillet til rådighed herinde. Mulighed vor at kigge fjernsyn. Sauna og udendørs spabad til rådighed. Værten havde lavet et fint kort over området vi ville besøge, med opmærkninger af diverse seværdigheder m.m. som vi kunne køre efter og var os til stor hjælp, så 1000 tak for det... Stedet kan varmt anbefales til andre. Mvh. Jesper & Svend
