House was very cute. The ceiling was VERY sloped in the Interpol room, and I couldn't stand in most of the room - I did hit my head a couple times getting out of the bed as well. If you are tall, I'd probably skip this room. Property was pretty clean as well, but there was a very strong fragrance in the room.

Lovely home away from home. Comfy bed, free on street parking, quiet neighbourhood. The top of the hill opposite the B&B was also great for watching the Northern Lights.Staff were lovely and made traditional Icelandic pancakes.

It’s about a 50 minute drive to Keflavík airport but very close to the city center (7 minute drive) and only 15-20 minute drive to Sky Lagoon). The beds were super comfy. Pretty rustic overall but that’s part of the charm.

Comfy but kind of busy.
We were there 3 nights and each night there was turn over of people about 3-4 new people. It was just a lot of change and noise and nuissance for a quaint little BnB.

The snaefellness room smelled bad. Others people commented on the smell but I didn’t believe them. I would never recommend this place to anyone it was below average for Iceland. The bed was old and so were the pillows. It really was like a hostel. The woman working the desk was great. She made it better experience.

We had low expectations for this place and it was still disappointing. We booked a bed and breakfast but they do not serve breakfast unless you pay extra. It was too expensive so we went to the only open bakery nearby. Place seems to be run by unpaid interns. The house is about an hour walk from downtown. The house is poorly soundproofed so we woke up every couple of hours to people coming in and out even though I’m a heavy sleeper and was super tired. Would not stay here again. Feels like a landlord scheme.

Be aware of the practice of this hotel. 1/they charge you about ten days before you check in even though the Expedia receipt says you only need to pay on arrival. If you don’t want to pay that early they threat to cancel your booking. If you ask them to show you the Expedia listing where it says this policy they would only say it is their policy. 2/ they would sell you to a different hotel. In our case we were asked to stay at Grotta northern light hotel. We didn’t even step into the blue house hotel. 3/the beddings in the grotta hotel were so worn and they smelled stinky - particularly the pillows. The bathroom was so dirty - the house overall was a bit run down. 4/ if you book two nights with them they will arrange you in two different hotels. In our case we complained and requested to stay in the same room which they eventually agreed.

Beautiful neighborhood close to shopping and restaurants. We were there during a hot week so the rooms upstairs would benefit from use of a fan since there is no A/C.
