The room was spacious and clean, shared bathroom was also clean. Good spread for buffet breakfast and good amenities to use in this guesthouse. There was a strict check in at 3pm but the host let us wait in the waiting area when we arrived at 2:30. It has nearby bus stop but everything is walking distance if you brace the weather.

Confesso que estava assustada com os comentários, mas como a agência já tinha fechado com o Alba, fomos mesmo assim. Ficamos 05 noites e amamos a estadia.Quartos limpos, banheiros sempre estavam limpos (mesmo com a qtdade grande de hóspedes naquela semana), café da manhã muito bom! Tudo o que a gente precisa: café,leite,iogurte,pães,frutas,ovos,panquevas,geléia,etc. Vi que os donos estavam sempre preocupados em repor os alimentos para não faltar para os hóspedes. É perto do centro, 10/15 min andando. Quarto quentinho! Donos foram muito educados conosco :)

È stata una delle esperienze peggiori che io abbia mai fatto. Lasciando stare le camere che sono passabili, la mattina a colazione i due proprietari fanno le guardie dandosi il cambio per controllare se rubi il cibo. La prima mattina a colazione ho preso due panini e la donna mi ha guardato il piatto esclamando che non potevo portare via il cibo, ma dovevo consumarlo sul posto. Per me è assurda questa cosa, non puoi insinuare che rubo il cibo solo perché ho un piatto abbondante. Tra l’altro essendo 4 persone abbiamo finito il pane e un ospite ha chiesto altro pane, la proprietaria ha indicato il nostro tavolo dicendo che lo avevamo preso tutto noi e che era finito, mentre una mezz’ora dopo abbiamo visto che magicamente avevano riempito il cestino col pane. Un’altra mattina mio marito stava versando lo yogurt, che era quasi finito, è arrivato il proprietario e glielo ha letteralmente strappato di mano, è stato un gesto maleducato. Forse sarebbe meglio pensare a pulire il microonde che è appiccicoso e pieno di macchie e sistemare le docce che sono piene di muffa, di cui allego la foto, piuttosto che sorvegliare gli ospiti che mangiano e farli sentire ladri perché mangiano tanto. Inoltre anche nei giorni successivi la proprietaria guardava i nostri piatti esclamando “wow”, è per caso un problema fare abbondanti colazioni? Una mattina dopo aver fatto colazione ho preso un bicchiere e due cucchiai per mescolare due differenti medicine e il proprietario mi ha chiesto se stessi portando via i cucchiai. Un’altra mattina a colazione stavo prendendo dei pancake, di cui alcuni erano bruciati e di cui allego la foto, il proprietario mi ha detto che non potevo mescolare i pancake e prenderli da sotto, cioè nella sua mente io avrei dovuto mangiare anche quelli bruciati. Forse questa gente non sa che è cancerogeno mangiare cibo bruciato e forse questa gente non sa cosa significa essere ospitale. Mi sono sentita come se mi avessero ospitato a titolo gratuito e invece abbiamo ben pagato e pure tanto. Io la sconsiglio assolutamente.

The host was excellent with information and kindness - giving us a place to stay in a storm that delayed our flight from Akureyri for over 12 hours. We would never had been able to make our reserved house in Selfell. We got in pretty late, but was welcome with warm smiles
