Hat sich Zeit genommen, und alles zu erklären, war bereit uns Tipps zu geben.
店主很友善及親切。
The rooms are great, clean, everything is ok for a shared accommodation, good breakfast, but as we had to cancel one of our nights there (reluctantly of course, we had no other options), a commercial gesture would have been appreciated (like a 5-10% refund or something...). I know we have to pay according to the cancellation policy but we lost 200€...
So maybe less marketing and more authenticity/humanity for next time ???? I work in tourism and know that business is important but a symbolic gesture would have made our impression of Flateyri and its people very different.

- must see in Flateyri!
The old house is cozy and it's a treat to spend time in at piece of history like this. Everything is clean and the bed is comfortable.
Since a must of traveling is good sleep and not just spending time in adorable and historic places, I will add a few extra notes here.
As you would expect in a 100+ year old home, everything makes noise and sound insulation is minimal. The doors, the floorboards. The cabinets. The sinks. And perhaps even noiser ... Your roommates.
There are three bedrooms upstairs and I suppose if you have polite and aware guests in the other two rooms, noise could be minimized.
Unfortunately, we did not have those guests. One couple was up at 5am and for 40 minutes they clanked around every dish, cup and utensil available in the kitchen. They couldn't have made more noise of they had tried. I laid in bed amazed at how unaware of others two people could be.
Please folks, be respectful of your roommates. Use soft voices. Gently pick things up and put them down. Speak quietly. Don't roll your luggage back and forth across the floor at 5:30am.
A+ for the owner and the property. This review is just to give people realistic expectations of what the stay may be like.
Cleanliness and practical aspects are great. Don‘t expect too many electricity plugs from an old house, and be aware that two of the three rooms are not huge, so if you travel with tons of luggage, you may feel squeezed.
The advertized opulent breakfast, by the way, is no exageration!
The price level is, let‘s say, „in line with Icelandic standards“.
The Flateyri Fjord is one of the most beautiful fjords of the island - but that has little tondo with this rating.
Gutes Angebot an Mitbringseln.
