    Our stay was extremely pleasant. Grenivik Guesthouse has been a beautiful surprise in the North of Iceland after days of camping. We would've definitely loved to stay longer to enjoy the peace, the comfort and the landscape. The house was very clean, our room was very comfortable and big enough for two, and all the common spaces were really well organized so we had our privacy but also some lovely interaction with other guests, and the hot tub has been a very pleasant extra to enjoy at sunset. But the best part of our stay was definitely Ingólfur, the host. His welcoming was very warm and kind, he was very open and helpful as a host, he gave us a lot of tips as soon as we arrived, and prepared us a really delicious breakfast with a lot of local ingredients. Ingólfur was also very kind to stay with us during our breakfast -and even longer- to talk with us about Icleand history, traditions, culture, geography and all the curiosities we had. He has a special place in our hearts.

    Nothing.

    Lovely view from the dining room windows. The kitchen was very well-appointed, and we could have cooked a proper meal if we had wished. The host was very chatty and gave us lots of information about the area, and Iceland in general. Great breakfast with some local food on offer. We appreciated being able to organise an early breakfast which meant we could get to our whale watching trip in Husavik on time. There was a supermarket and bar/cafe within a two minute walk so self-catering was easy.

    Our best stay in Iceland. The place is gorgeous, both location, directly on the fjord, and the guesthouse itself. The shared kitchen/ dining room is comfortable and welcoming, with large windows overlooking the sea. The rooms are clean and nice, with good breakfast. Above all Inoglfur's great hospitality, and the knowledge and conversations, which gives you insight about Iceland.

    Every single bit of this stay was wonderful. From the drive, to our greeting from the host, to the clean, well appointed rooms, to the breakfast, to the view--all fantastic! I wish we had stayed here more than one night. The host is very friendly and involved (in a good way) and this stay was worth every penny!

    Everything was great. Even the town of Grenivik has everything you need, a small supermarket, restaurant and gas station.

    The host is amazing, very kind and knowledgable. The rooms are comfortable, breakfast is good and the hottub has an amazing view (as does the communal area). It is a very small guesthouse with only four rooms so it will never feel busy. The kitchen is great and fully equipes as well. We had the best stay here!

    This was by far the best accommodation we ever stayed in! Definitely one of the highlights of our three weeks in Iceland. Great value for money. Many people stayed only for one night in the accommodation but it definitely pays off to stay longer. We stayed a total of four nights. The breakfast had a good selection and there was something new and local or homemade to discover every day. As Italians we appreciated the great coffee from the coffee machine. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you could possibly need. The view from the dining room and the hot tub is amazing. You have a direct view on the fjord and the surrounding mountains. Our room also had the same view. Ingólfur is the best host EVER and the nicest person we met in Iceland. He took so much time for each of his guests. He did everything to make our stay as pleasant and memorable as possible. He was happy to share helpful and important tips and information about Iceland and we were able to learn lots of interesting things. Even now back in Italy we talk so much about the time in Grenevik. An absolute recommendation for everyone!

    Everything about this guesthouse was better than expected. It is located in a beautiful town in the middle of nowhere with splendid ocean view. Parking is available directly in front of the guesthouse. Breakfast is included and excellent with some homemade goodies to taste. But the true gem of this guesthouse is his owner. We really appreciated helpful tips and wonderful stories about Iceland. We stayed in six different locations during our trip and this guesthouse was one of two accommodations that were hard to leave. Thank you for making our Icelandic experience even more magical. Alena & Marcel (and small red car :))
