Reviews for Guesthouse Olga
Review 1：Nice Guesthouse, close to a petrol station and some restaurants(unfortunately closed when we were there) The house is clean, the room was spacious and well equipped (small fridge, kettle, tv, table with 2 chair) When we arrived, the breakfast was already ready in the Kitchen's fridge.
Review 2：The shower room drainage is very very slow. The heater in the room is not quite effective as it is covered behind a curtain.
Review 3：The place is good as it has walking distance to stores. One night is good for those who is doing the Ring Road.
Review 4：We are a young couple so asked for a double room with our own bathroom but instead we were moved to another guesthouse where we had a triple room with 3 single beds and a shared bathroom for the same price.
Review 5：The guesthouse was clean, quiet and had facilities for us to make tea and coffee. The room was nice and spacious and beds comfy. The host also pointed us to a few restaurants within walking distance in town and we ended up having a lovely meal.
Review 6：It was a gorgeous house, easy to get to, clean and a nice kitchen with a comprehensive selection of utensils. The staff were very friendly and easy going. Would stay again !
Review 7：We didn't stay in Guesthouse Olga as we were the only bookings, so we were met there by a staff member and then taken a couple of doors away to a different house, which was a newer build and immaculate throughout. One of the best places we stayed during our touring holiday and would highly recommend it. Super comfy, gorgeous facilities, felt like everything was brand new....I'd class it as luxury accommodation.
Review 8：We don't like kitchen which is small and no enough equipment for cooking.
Review 9：We like the shower room which is clean and big, and the bedding is clean and cozy. Wifi is ok but TV didn't work.
Review 10：Very warm welcome, very informative host. Great information and maps supplied for the area by guesthouse! fridge in room and TV, comfy beds (aulthough all twin- no double) Milk, tea provided in rooms. Dressing gowns provided in bathroom for guests as well as extra towels and flannels. This place was spot on! Picturesque location too!
Review 11：Breakfast is not recommended, a little bit expensive. Fly in the room.
Review 12：6 room with 3 shared bathroom, provide detailed tour information. The price is really good.
Review 13：it's not called a Guesthouse, as you won't meet host during your stay, no service about actually.
Review 14：The kitchen is clean and well done for your cooking. I saw northern light when I made my dinner in the kitchen.it's an amazing experience. nearby the supermarket Bonus &netto, you must try netting's grill chicken, it's tasty and in good price.
Review 15：Because we arrived after 8p.m. we were not able to meet the owners, but they were very quick to let us in through the intercom system and were available by phone at any time.
Review 16：Very clean and comfortable guesthouse. Great little restaurant right next door.
Review 17：Nothing I can think of here...
Review 18：Loved the location and really liked the owner! He was very nice and helpful, offering us helpful information about where to eat, what to do, etc. The location was perfect (easy to walk all over town from the house) and the property was very cozy and clean. I would definitely stay here again!
Review 19：We asked the employee of the guesthouse for to do's in the area, but she was unable to provide them since she had just moved there.
Review 20：Good equiped kitchen where we could cook. Our room (which was on basement level) had its own toilet.
Review 21：First floor shower was not working. In a guesthouse with that many people, I find it very strange this was not fixed instantly. Noisy as well, no double bed while requested
Review 22：Location was good. Reasonable price.
Review 23：Amazing staff . I left behind my portable coffee maker ! Staff promptly packed it up in fun wrapper and couriered it to Reykavik airport for our ongoing trip to Faroes. Outstanding people.
Review 24：If you are in the room downstairs you hear all the noises of the room upstairs and of those who rings the bell and come into the guesthouse. Maybe the rooms upstairs are better.
Review 25：Beautiful view on the garden from our window. Very nice building.
Review 26：Breakfast was terrible Breakfast put in fridge night before. Poor quality bread, muffins and fruit. Don't waste your money odering the breakfast option.
Review 27：Good position
Review 28：Location is great and easy to find. The house is very clean and comfortable. Restaurant next door that recommended by the host is very good! We all love this place very much! The information about surrounding and tourism that the host provided is very useful!
Review 29：La petite cuisine et l'insonorisation des chambres sachant que nous avons eu de la chance: personne ne regardait la tv dans le salon qui jouxte toutes les chambres.
Review 30：Bien situé, bon accueil, chambres spacieuses et bons lits. Bon rapport qualité/prix
Review 31：Location was perfect. The room was large with lots of light with the bathroom close by. Restaurants were within walking distance. The owner met us to show us to the room and made sure we had what we needed.
Review 32：All was great
Review 33：It was a very cosy place. Although the bathroom was share we had in the end 2 bathrooms to share for 2 rooms so it was almost like our own. the kitchen was also like at home with anything you need. We arrived quite late which wasn't a problem.
Review 34：The wifi was quite poor but didn't detain from a perfect trip.
Review 35：Though I cannot remember his name, the manager was more than helpful. He was extremely informative about all the local amnesties (definitely check out the swimming pool) and had a great sense of humour. The room was perfectly cosy and the kitchen well equipped. Would highly recommend.
Review 36：There is none.
Review 37：The staff was very friendly, he provided very useful traveling informations, and the flat itself was very clean and the facilities are mire than nice.
Review 38：We got in so late! That was the only problem! But still they came especially to let us in and were very patient with answering questions.
Review 39：The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. They even gave us advice for our route the next day. The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable.
Review 40：Check-in time that finished too early for us, had to call the owners several times that we'll be coming late (around 9 pm...) they didn't seem to be happy about it at all. Really tiny room with no heating.

Review 42：Nothing
Review 43：It was good location to find and easy to move another cities. We were satisfied with cozy room, convenient kitchen, clean bathroom and everything.

Review 46：Everything was just fine
Review 47：Great location, friendly service, nice bed and bedding, full kitchen, close proximity to main road and supermarket, easy to find. Although the bathroom was shared, there was plenty of privacy
Review 48：The young lady greeted us by telling us to follow her into the kitchen. Without introducing herself or welcoming us, she sat down, located our reservation and told us how much we should pay. Not a pleasant greeting, the only time we experienced this in Iceland.
Review 49：Good location and is next door to a nice restaurant
Review 50：There was a communal kitchen which we could hardly go near because families had taken it over. So if you are hoping to use it, I'd check in soon as you can so you get it.
Review 51：This guesthouse is perfectly located and within walking distance of many restaurants and amenities. The owner was very helpful, and the rooms are airy and restful. Our room had a TV and mini fridge, and the bathrooms were large and inviting. The whole place was clean and had a nice charm.
Review 52：Instant coffee! Even a coffee maker to make one's own would have been better. Considering it was a shared bathroom situation we thought the price was a bit high.
