This is a lovely place to stay - really comfortable, cozy and warm and very clean. It is close to Vik centre so its possible to walk down to town although it is slightly uphill coming back. We only stayed one night but we enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

One of the best places to stay in Vik, especially for the price. The location was perfect to go on a walk and explore the small village, with lots of great restaurants nearby.

Very noisy, and hard to find the staff. Attempted to check out on multiple times, and staff were not around the reception desk and did not attend when buzzed. Also noticed this happen to some other guests, Don’t stay near the front door, as it is loud with guests and slams your room door. Overall, it’s okay for its price. Just be weary of the notes above.

There was not enough water pressure to rinse my hair and the walls are thin. I could hear everything happening in the bathroom all night. I barely slept because people were slamming doors, talking loudly, and using the bathroom all night. Staff was nice and facilities were clean.

Great location – on a quiet residential street just off the Ring Road – with parking in the front. The guesthouse is a “traditional looking” 3-story building with a large, beautiful glass addition in the rear that serves as a breakfast room in the morning and a lounge/common area during the rest of the day. I stayed in a single room. As advertised on the web site, it was rather small with limited storage for clothes and it had a shared bathroom, but everything in the room was bright and clean, the furniture was in good shape, the bed was comfortable and there were plenty of electrical outlets. The window had blackout curtains which would be especially important in mid-summer. The bathrooms on my floor (of which there were several) were also clean and readily available. There was a communal kitchen adjacent to my room and guests respected the 10 pm quiet time so there was no noise coming from the kitchen by the time I was ready for bed. The breakfast buffet had a nice selection but waffles were the only hot item available. Also, if you want to have breakfast, be sure to let the staff know the night before, especially during the off-season. The host was friendly and recommended several restaurants in the area for dinner.
