    We were trying to get to Vik last night but Ring Road was closed at the mountain pass just west of the town. Our car rental place apparently put on less than adequate all-weather tires (when we asked for snow tires, and our bad for not confirming) and we were turned around 3.7mi away from our hotel as the snow/wind made for blizzard like conditions and the pass was unsafe. We frantically called guesthouses because it was almost 9pm, we couldn't see, and we were in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, the sweet owners of this guesthouse (the Skammidalur family) answered and even though they were closed, they opened up and prepared a room for us. She was so sweet and brought us some pasta, canned tomatoes, and other canned items other travelers left behind so we could fashion a dinner since we hadn't eaten and couldn't go anywhere. The room was spotless, the bed was super comfortable and warm, and the shower/bathroom were perfect (with hot water!). There are five rooms in the house and we were in #4 which faces the road and is away from the kitchen (#5 is in the kitchen and may be loud if the house is full of guests). We listened as the wind howled outside all night and were SO thankful for the Skammidalur family for taking us in. THANK YOU!

    Room big enough with a sink. Shared bathroom. Everything was clean.

    We arrived late evening. When we got inside the guesthouse, there’s no reception or any instruction for check in. We saw a paper with the name of the guests for the night and the room number assigned for each guest. The keys were at the door of the room we were assigned. So I assume it’s a self check in like other guesthouses we stayed in Iceland, and we make the payment the next day morning when we see the host. While we were making dinner, the host came out of somewhere and blamed us for not checking in. She was in a pretty rude attitude. We told her there’s none instruction about the check in. Then she said well you are suppose to check in and then she asked us to make the payment right away... How could we check in when there’s no instruction and a reception...... The room and washroom are clean. But my friend’s room is inside the kitchen...that’s kinda weird. The kitchen has no microwave and limited equipment. For the price we paid, I think we could get something better. This place is not worth the money.
