Karuna Guesthouse

No one greeted us when we arrived, and we never received any email or instructions — just keys left on the counter. The bathrooms and kitchen were not well stocked; for example, there was no extra toilet paper or dish soap provided. The common room had surround sound speakers placed around the space instead of a sound bar near the TV, which caused the large room to echo badly with anything that was playing. Despite advertising a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the owner/operator was rude and told other guests she was going to throw us out because the TV was too loud — even though the poor sound setup was due to her own design choices. I guess in season some breakfast choices are available, but in October, it would’ve been nice to know this!

Cozy guesthouse with great location The location was stunning overlooking fields and property had horses and chickens. Where we stayed had shared bathrooms. Never had issue waiting for it as they have 2 with showers and toilet and 2 toilets in the common area. Room was a bit small. But if you book the private bathroom options looked like it was addition of the building so newer and more spacious. Hot tub and sauna were a great added addition. We enjoyed common area and the breakfast. Front desk was helpful with providing recommendations.

Room number 9 is awesome Beautiful room, very nicely furnished. One of the few in Iceland that had a tv in the room. Close to town with several options for dinner.

The front desk of this guesthouse operates until 10 p.m., and the management is strict—the kitchen is locked right on time. There’s a private hot tub and sauna in front of the house, but we arrived too late that day to use them. Breakfast was simple. I forgot my iPad when I left, and it was the staff who texted me and brought me back to retrieve it.

Very nice hostel with hot tub and sauna with nice view. Maybe the kitchen is a bit small if a big group of people is there at same time but in general I recommend!!! Very nice place!!

Very nice hotel in beautiful location! The views in and around were incredible. Mountains to both sides with incredible views even in the breakfast room. We were there when the day was 22 hours long, at the night it was still pretty bright, and the blackout shades were not great at achieving actual darkness in the room. This is a problem we had with 5 of 6 of the hotels we stayed at in Iceland, so not atypical. Sauna and hot tub, both had nice views, were also very nice. The many farm animals were friendly.
