Rustic and charming guesthouse close to Snaefellsnes National Park
Rustic but lovely and cozy guesthouse in a tiny artist community. The town is only a few blocks but packs in interesting shops, cafes, a museum, and several art galleries(!). There is beautiful art on the walls (I think painted by the owner!?), and a small selection of puzzles and games for the evenings. We appreciated how nice the bathroom was (great water pressure)! and the well equipped kitchen. This is a remote village, ten minutes from the closest grocery store but that is the vibe we were looking for. The proximity to Snaefellsnes National Park cannot be beat.
The beds aren't the most comfortable, but I also know that I was missing my own bed :). Other than that, there isn't anything that comes to mind that we didn't enjoy!

House was not ready on arrival. Very disappointed in lack of communication with owner.
The location of the house is great, and we loved being able to walk on the beach and see all the many murals. The house itself is older, showing its age, and the listing hasn't been updated to match reality. For example, a foldout sofa was shown (which we'd hoped to use), and it was not there. Our main problem with the property was bad communications with the owner, as we showed up and had been given no info on how to get into the (not cleaned) house.
We arrived at the house and could not get in. Background: Our check-in time was 3pm, but I had not seen any host communication in five months. So I sent a message at 8am that day asking if we needed any specific check-in info. After a day in driving up to Hellissandur, we arrived at 5:30pm, and had still received no check-in info. I tried to call the owner (twice), and sent multiple messages via booking.com's website, with zero success on all fronts. Eventually the owner called me -- "who is this?" -- and seemed surprised/confused that we were there. I never did get an explanation (or apology) for what went wrong, although she did say it was her fault. She told me the lockbox code verbally, but said the house had not been cleaned, and she wasn't sure if she could reach the cleaner that night. Fortunately, the cleaner did eventually show up, and by 8pm we were settled into a clean house. Checking booking.com reviews (after the fact), I saw something similar has happened at least three other times with this property. The initial lack of communication was obviously bad, but then I received no followup messages or communications or apologies from the owner. When I reached out to Booking.com, they replied that they also couldn't reach them. It was a very unfortunate start to our time there in Hellissandur, and is the primary reason I have given this property a low rating. If you plan to rent this house: read (and translate) all the reviews! I would also send multiple messages prior to arrival to ensure that the house will be ready.

heel gezellig ingericht huisje, gelegen in een best gezellig dorp met veel mooie straatkunst/graffiti. De waterkoker bleek defect, de eigenaresse stuurde ons een nieuwe. Legpuzzels zijn fijn als er erg slecht weer is. Walvissafari dichtbij, in Olafsvik.
er waren alleen pannen om mee te bakken. De enige pan die qua vorm handig was om groente/rijst/pasta in te koken was zwaar beschadigd aan de binnenzijde, en het handvat werd gevaarlijk heet. 1 eetkamerstoel viel bijna uit elkaar. Een mok en een ovenschaal waren dusdanig beschadigd dat ik ze niet meer zou gebruiken. We hebben de eigenaresse aan het eind van ons verblijf een bericht gestuurd met meer dan 10 aandachtspunten, want het leek er sterk op dat zijzelf maar weinig in het huisje langs kwam om de staat van de inventaris te checken.
