My experience there was incredibly disappointing and uncomfortable. The host was unfortunately rude and unwelcoming, making me feel unwelcome throughout my stay. To make matters worse, I discovered bed bugs in my room, which is absolutely unacceptable for any accommodation. This led to itchy bites and a very unpleasant sleep experience. Additionally, the view from the guesthouse was not as advertised. The pictures online were misleading, and the actual view was quite underwhelming. Overall, my stay at Guesthouse Stekkatun was a nightmare. The combination of a rude host, bed bugs, and a misleading view made it one of the worst travel experiences I've ever had. Save yourself the trouble and book elsewhere.

Definitely too expensive and low quality. No breakfast, no service. The main door did not close properly. Old furniture, especially considering the too high price. We had two room that were too distant each other. Rooms are small and uncomfortable. Bathrooms are new and large but with tiny sinks and uncomfortable shower. I do not recommend this at all.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Guesthouse Stekkatun. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. It was not exactly in Hofn, but close enough for our purposes. I never know the technical difference between a guesthouse and a B&B. To me this was definitely a B&B.

Guesthouse implanté en plein cœur de la nature islandaise de la côte Sud avec un accès à une longue balade jusqu'au glacier, il s'agit bien là du seul aspect positif... Effectivement, le titre indique qu'il s'agit d'une guesthouse mais nous sommes pas très loin de l'hostel... Certes, vous bénéficiez d'une chambre (ou lieu d'un dortoir) et il n'y a que 5 chambres... mais compte tenu de l'organisation de la plupart des visiteurs de l'Islande, vous arrivez quasiment tous en même temps pour la douche... à savoir qu'il n'y a que 2 ensembles "douche + toilettes", il ne faudra pas avoir d'envie pressente lorsque les douches sont déjà occupées... je vous conseille donc d'arriver tôt et de vous lever tôt pour éviter le rush ! Les photos présentent également une cuisine mais elle est réservée au personnel pour le petit-déjeuner donc ne vous attendez pas à vraiment pouvoir l'utiliser. Par contre, il nous a été proposé une petite place dans le réfrigérateur pour nos quelques victuailles au besoin. Les chambres sont relativement petites et une fois que l'on a posé nos 2 valises, on ne peut pas dire que l'on a beaucoup de place... Quand au petit-déjeuner, qui a commencé à être servi à 8h mais qu'avec quelques victuailles, il était quasiment vide une fois que 4 personnes prennent leur 2 tranches de pain avec le petit morceau de fromage et de jambon... donc quand on est 10 au total, ce n'est pas très fluide... vous aurez le même problème que vous du skyr ou autre chose... au final, très limité comme petit-déjeuner... En conclusion, l'établissement profite du manque de logement disponible dans la région pour l'accueil des visiteurs pour pousser des prix qui reflètent plutôt la rareté de l'offre que de sa qualité... Très cher pour ce que c'est...
