Gagga is a wonderful host! She made our stay very comfortable. Due to bad weather, we had to extend our stay by one day. Gagga did not charge us for the extra night! She also drove us around the island to see the sights and took us shopping.

This place is absolutely beautiful - our host, Gaga, was amazing - hospitable, and a wonderful cook! Our stay was cut short unfortunately - would love to spend more time here!

Great guesthouse, informative host
Taking the ferry to Grimsey is an intentional choice, so not a many travelers to Iceland will get over to the island. The hosts for this lodging were great, providing lots of info to help us make the most of our time on the island. The Guesthouse was plenty comfortable and the bonus was they also had a breakfast area, with some basics - the breads were wonderful! We took advantage of the offered refrigerator space, also. If we ever come back to Grimsey, we will be glad to stay with the Básar again.

Nothing could have been better! The hostess totally looked after us in everyway, including picking us up at the ferry (unexpected!), giving us a free lunch, driving us to visit some free ranging goats and feeding them bread, welcoming our questions about the island, it's history, it's current inhabitants of 8 families, the puffins, and any other things that we were curious about. Very engaging and generous. The guest house was flawless and the dining area had a multitude of antique photos of the history of the island. She, her place, and the island were amazing!

Comfortable room, shared bathroom. Door to the bathroom on second floor is a bit low, so watch your head! Owner provided a good selection for breakfast, very courteous and helpful. Location is next to the airstrip and easy walks to nearby cliffs where one can view puffins and other birds.

Nothing was too much trouble for the family who runs Basar. We were met off the plane by a smiling face and experienced helpfulness and efficiency from beginning to end. If we wanted a lift, a member of the family would turn up. Some guests wanted a boat ride and the family organised. The guesthouse is very well equipped and of course the island is awesomely beautiful. The location is perfect, a short walk to the harbour and moments away from cliffs and beaches with hundreds of puffins. If you want truly wild nd magnificent, this is it. We were on the island for summer solstice celebrations and were invited to the fish buffet prepared by the women of the island which was a wonderful experience.

This guesthouse was very nice and clean, very very clean. Our host Gagga was super sweet and accommodating. She picked us up at the ferry and dropped us at the house. She loves to drive and shows the island well. She is so proud of her homeland. She has a lot of knowledge of Iceland and is so willing to share. She was willing to do anything for us. Not only did she provide adequate towels, but wash clothes! Not something I have seen in Iceland and Europe. The shower and water pressure was great! The marker for the Arctic Circle is not too far away. A nice little hike up and then down and back again. So worth the effort.
