Just the ticket

Cosy and clean little apartment, in a prime location for exploring the south of Iceland. The hosts were very accommodating, providing a cot and highchair for our young son. Had everything we needed and was located closely to Selfoss which has your main supermarkets. Very conveniently placed on the door step is the self-serve petrol station, very useful for road trips like we had.

Would not recommend

Luckily we only had to stay here one night. Online pictures of apartment are accurate however we unfortunately found it to be very unclean and noisy. This small strip of apartments is connected to a hostel and it seemed that their communal room must have backed up to us because we could hear loud talking and laughing all night. You check in at the hostel entrance and the front desk person walks you around the side of the building and shows you your room. When we came into the room the bathroom door was closed and even though he explained everything in the room to us he oddly left the door closed. As soon as he left we opened the door and realized why… it smelled like an open sewer line! We sprayed everything we had with us in there and it still stunk horribly the entire time we were there. The floors were sticky and gross and we had to wear our shoes the entire time. The bathroom was so disgusting we all brushed our teeth at the kitchen sink and everyone refused to even try to take a shower here. I would not recommend this place!

Alles Top

Es war ein rund um gelungener Urlaub. Für Tagesausflüge im Süden von Island ein idealer Ausgangspunkt. Das Appartment war sauber und modern eingerichtet. Es war klein aber fein und für 2 Personen total ausreichend. Die Küche war super ausgestattet. Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir können das Objekt sehr empfehlen.

About the host

Hosted by Jessi

I'm Jessi, an American living in Iceland. Together with my husband Jóhann (who's Icelandic), we own and manage the local restaurant Red House (The Red House) as well as 16 guest apartments and a small hostel here in Eyrarbakki.

Our apartments are located in the old fish factory in the heart of the village, right on the seaside. This large building was abandoned for many years after the harbor closed and the fishing industry shut down. Piece by piece, we are turning it into apartments for guests. It's perhaps not your typical Airbnb, because the apartments are purpose-built as guest accommodation—but it's a tiny village and we would like to invite more visitors to come and stay without taking family homes off the market. A small part of the building has a 36-bed hostel, and that's where we will meet you with the keys.

My husband and I are both avid travelers, having living in Thailand, Mexico, and Honduras before moving to Iceland. We love Iceland and our little village, and we're happy to share it with you! If you're looking for travel advice or a local perspective, don't hesitate to send me a message or ask when you get here.

We manage our 16 apartments as a family business with 3 generations involved. We look forward to welcoming you.
