Circumstances Beyond Our Control

We had a reservation, but due to a violent snowstorm, the Ring Road was closed, and we couldn't get out of Reykjavik. I emailed the hotel and explained why we couldn't get there, but they still charged us for the rooms.

Wonderful stay at a great price

Reviewed By BenedictePedersen

Was very pleasantly surprised by this place. The stay was reasonably priced, the rooms were spacious and modern and the bathroom was huge. The only thing I can complain about is that there was no ventilation, so it quickly became humid and bad air unless you opened the window. (Which I prefer not to do when it's minus degrees). Beyond this, everything was absolutely great. The breakfast was small and cozy, and contained the essentials as well as waffles which were yummy. The staff was also very nice.

Disappointing experience in a dirty and shabby guesthouse

Reviewed By Salama M

Without exaggeration, this property is very Dirty and unkept, there was fecal matter on the underside of the toilet seat, the floors were dirty and there was only 1 face towel and no other towels for 4 adults. mattresses were old and too soft, pillows all but useless. at 16:40 they sent and email that reception would close at 17:00. we had a hard time finding the room, other guests helped us. there was no phone to get service (clean the room or change it, get clean towels, etc.) breakfast was mediocre. before leaving at 10:00 I went to the reception but office was closed until 11:00. the experience was very disappointing and the hosts non existent and oblivious to the guests.

Spoi Guesthouse

At Spoi Guesthouse we have six rooms. The house is a split level house; on the upper level there are four rooms, and one shared bathroom. On the lower level are two bright rooms and a shared bathroom. On the main level is the entrance and common area, where we serve the breakfast, and the third bathroom.

No refund.

Reviewed By NorthStar90279

I was scheduled to attend a cycling event in July 2020. My friends and I booked accommodations at Spoi Guesthouse. Event cancelled due to Covid. Those who booked through a third party site were fully refunded. I booked directly with Spoi. They would not refund but rebooked me for July 2021; unfortunately with continued travel restrictions my attendance was deferred until July 2022. Spoi will not transfer my reservation to 2022, nor refund my monies. Seems unfair since they have had the use of my money since 2020 and suffered no revenue loss opportunities since they were notified of the changes well before my arrival dates.

Fantastic stay

Reviewed By colin63y

Fantastic from the initial greeting from Front of house manager Alicia through to the excellent food provided by Chef Boris and his great team. The Hotel is led from the front by Peter in a calm professional and very friendly manner indeed. I was so impressed by my three day stay and would certainly want to return.

Backyard Village

Home from Home!

Reviewed By caladesi

We stayed at the backyard village for a few nights in October. The cottage had everything that we needed. Was nice and cosy and a great place to unwind at the end of the full days exploring the wonders of Iceland. The owners were there to welcome us and on hand if we needed anything. Would definately recommend and wouldn't hesitate in booking when we head back. We are so glad we chose Iceland, chose Hveragerdi and chose the Backyard Village. Thanks for sharing your yard!

Great stay at the perfect host!

Reviewed By franky-the-tank

This guesthouse is amazing. Haraldur the host is super friendly, very helpful, and a fun guy. As guest, you always feel very welcome. The room was very clean. We stayed for 9 nights, as the guesthouse is nicely located to do day trips to see many different attractions. I would definitely come back!
