Agust is an excellent host. Will definitely return

The house is impecable. Has all that is needed, very clean, great and super rich breakfast, excellent. To our surprise, we were upgraded to a very cosy room, perfect for our family with a 4 years old child. Agust, the host, is a very knowledgeable guide and a super host, feeling the needs of his clients. Making all of them feel comfortable and start their day with joy and smiles. Thank youfrom the heart, Agust !

What a great place!

This was my favorite place I stayed in my trip around Iceland. It was such a cozy and comfortable space. The breakfast was delicious and I had a great time conversing with our host. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit the country.

8/10 Very good

Cute and cozy cabins. Host was very pleasant and a wealth of information about Iceland as he is well travelled. Breakfast was delicious and abundant. Appreciated the small signs to help find the property as otherwise would have been challenging to locate.

Peaceful Stay in the Country

We stayed in one of the cottages. It was very quiet and comfortable. There are no restaurants for dinner near by so plan ahead. The breakfast was included and had a good selection of things to eat. It was served at a big table in the main house and gave us a chance to meet the host and the other guests.

We lived in one of host August's cottages. It was clean and very nice rural environment. August will prepare you very nice free breakfast well. You can ask him everything about Iceland. I highly recommend.

The owner is friendly and fun. We arrived after 10pm but he was waiting for us there. The best part is he shared lots of his adventures and photos. We were so inspired by his interesting life. And we had great chat with other passengers too during the nice free breakfast. This is the best stay of our Iceland trip! We loved it

We booked the accomodation via expedia though it was closed and not prepared for guests when we arrived on site. The host was not on site but managed a friend to prepare everything for us and hand us over the key - so we had the entire appartment for our own and a very firendly and helpful neighbour. Great service!

6/10 Good

No restaurant on premises.

Although they promise you a restaurant for youre dinner, this is not available. You are told to find a restaurant in the nearest town, 10 km away. It seems that the owner is out of town and have left the management of the hotel to a somewhat confusing check in. But a part from that, I guess the stay was ok.

One Night in the Country

Check in at Alfastein was stated as 6pm and that’s all the information we received initially. Luckily, we found Agust’s phone number and he helped us locate the key to let ourselves in. Soon after, Keli, the host came to welcome us and made sure we were settled. He made us feel very welcome, since we had to leave very early in the morning he fixed up the coffee for us and even offered a huge bag of bread to feed to the horses. This was such a memorable activity. We also got to see some Aurora although it was a bit cloudy. The whole house was very clean, full of interesting items, the beds were incredibly comfortable after a long day and we were warm all night. I wish we could’ve stayed here several more days. Thank you for your hospitality.

Bra insida dålig utsida

Utsidan av huset såg ut som en mindre skrotgård och trädgården var dåligt skött och övervuxen och gav inget bra intryck vid ankomst. Parkeringsplatsen var lite kaosartad utan instruktioner var man kunde ställa bilen. Insidan av huset var bra, rena och fräscha rum. Frukosten var enkel men god och tillräcklig. Värden var trevlig och hjälpsam.
