Perfect location if you're visiting Diamond beach and want a place to stay nearby. Superbly clean with very nice toilets and a fully equip kitchen. Check was easy. Road access was easy even in heavy snow.

Big room and confortable bed. Book the room facing the glacier, the price is worth it. A little far from restaurants and shops, but tottaly worth it for the peace and quiet. They have breakfast and dinner available. There is a coffee station by the entrance but no one was changing and puting new coffee, so coffee was cold from the day before already. When you come to the room you feel there is something missing there, the room is so big and it only has a small table and 2 chairs. Big part of the wall is just empty. I think these rooms deserve a resting chair or a little sofa with a coffee table :) Nice and helpful staff at the reception. It was a really nice stay! 1h away from the Glacier Lagoon!

This was our best experience with staying in Iceland, we definitely would like to come back again. Everything was really amazing - hosts were very welcoming and friendly, the room was so lovely prepared, kitchen was good equipped, everything was clean and nice, breakfast was great! We felt like being in some friends or relatives house, not just in a guesthouse. We really enjoyed our stay in Holmur and highly recommend it to others.

The glaciers were amazing!!!! We even saw seals. The sand on the black beach... Pay for parking or you'll get a fine in the mail, which the rental company will then charge to your card along with their handling fees. Download the PARKA.IS app

The only downside is that there's no restaurant open at night, and the nearest one is 40 km away, which is difficult to navigate on these roads at night. However, the hostess helped us with some snacks and fruit and resolved this issue. So, excellent service.

The guesthouse is located between mountains and the sea in Iceland breathtaking southern coast. The couple running it are helpful and sweet and their homemade breakfast was delicious! There was no problem arriving later than 9 pm, just a quick phone call to let them know. The guesthouse is very spacious and clean, though the individual rooms are basic.

The rooms are spacious and comfy overlooking either the the ocean or the mountains. Breakfast is tasty and offers variety of dishes to choose from. You can also eat a good dinner in a hotel restaurant (lamb is a specialty of this place)

As described a good old fashion hotel with great rooms and staff. Bar was open along with the restaurant in the late afternoon for a drink prior to a lovely dinner made using local ingredients where possible.
