Guesthouse Reynir

Reynir was exactly what we needed whilst exploring the south coast, easy and clean and right in the middle of everything we wanted to visit. Kitchen facilities are excellent and showers and warm, good pressure and clean. A good base for to launch from to get to Diamond beach and beyond. Only negative and hence the 4/5, the beds are hard and a bit lumpy (pillows also) but is expected with the turnover. The checkin and out is simple and easy. Would recommend this guesthouse. Thank you

We only stayed for one night at the end of May on our trip around Island. We found Reynir Guesthouse fully accommodating. Everything was clean, the place was very quiet. We enjoyed shared kitchen and the interactions with other guests during the dinner preparation. View from our room window down to the beach was perfect. We had a small issue with one of our rooms, but Mrs. Begga came in less than five minutes after we called her number and resolved our problem in an instant. She was really very friendly and helpful. She also gave us a very usefull information about some points of interest nearby we would have probably missed. Thank you very much for your kind hospitality.

We stayed for just the one night and enjoyed it. We had a twin room with a shared bathroom and kitchen. It was all very clean and had a modern feel about it. The only minor negative was the lack of carpet which made a little less cosy, but it was lovely and warm still. Vik was just a ten minute drive around the other side of the mountain.

My friend and I were trying to get to our hotel near Vatnajokull to do the ice caves until the roads turned too icy for our car to continue. We had to turn around and go back to Vik, so I was desperately calling around for a place to stay that night. We found this place, where an absolute gem of a woman answered the phone and said she had a room for around €125. We were just super happy to have a place to stay. When we arrived, she was at the front desk and told us that she has another room open up for €99. This was so nice of her- we had already agreed to €125 and she told us about the cheaper option (which would have made her less money). She gave us our key and the room was very clean and nice. There were also two bathrooms and multiple showers available if you booked the community option. We weren’t very lucky that night, but I’d bet that it would be an incredible place to see the northern lights (I’d never seen so many stars!) Easy five minute drive to the black sand beach- you could even hear the ocean from the balcony. We even called after hours to ask about the wifi password and she was super friendly and more than happy to help (hint: it’s on the back of the key). She made our terrible day so much better, and we would absolutely stay here again.

We were in trouble with the roads closed and everything fully booked. The owner opened and cleaned the guesthouse just for our party of 8 people. The place was spotless and spacious. Also very close by was the Black Sand Beach restaurant/cafe where we ended up having dinner. Thank you again for your hospitality!
