Reviews

Great place and nearby attractions
We got the room in the 2nd floor. It’s small but it still can put the 2 luggages size 25” and one small luggage. This floor has 2 bathrooms included the toilet. All common space, share-kitchen and share-bathroom are well maintained and super clean. They provided the complimentary juice, milk, tea and coffee in the kitchen. They provided the Icelandic Happy Marriage cake in the evening. The taste was good for us. The best thing was the location of guesthouse is near the spot of Jökulsárlón Glacier and nearby attractions. Overall we were ver satisfied. I would return to stay here if I have a chance.

A cozy night at Skyhusid Guest House
We stayed here the night before our Glacier and Hike tour. The host was very welcoming and kind, our room was basic but had everything we needed. The shared bathrooms were very clean and the shared kitchen had everything you needed (including tea, coffee, juice, and even some DELICIOUS homemade happy marriage cake). Would definitely stay here again.
