Liked: Cleanliness
Very clean and comfortable. Lovely and warm. Small but functional for a short stay. Go to Heima Bistro, 2 mins walk away for tasty Icelandic fish and ships and an incredibly warm welcome
As stated in other reviews it is in an industrial area with not much in the area. We found a great family restaurant around the corner. Great place to stopover while doing the ring road
This place is really in the middle of nowhere, but if you are heading east by the south coast, then it's perfect. We stayed here first stay after we arrived and it met our needs well. There is no staff. They give a code to the main door and code to your room. The room has the necessities. It's a no-frills simple suitable stay.
Very clean and comfortable property. It is however in an industrial estate which is slightly strange setting for a good property. 10 minutes aways is a lovely black sand beach howeve and it is a good location for exploring the peninsula
We arrived much later than expected (too much to see and do along the way) and check went smoothly, the room was very clean and the beds oh so comfy. Great stay, thank you !
The room itself was lovely! It was a good size with a private bathroom! Location-wise, it was a bit out of the way with very limited food/activity options. It was right next to an Orlando gas station which was convenient. We stayed here as a home based for the Golden Circle and it was a great location for our purposes! Parking was super easy and free as well:)
Self check in was really easy, rooms were clean and comfortable. Two or three restaurants in easy walking distance, and a black sand beach about 5 minutes away. Friendly and helpful staff in the morning around checkout time.
Hotel was easy to find, clean, and clear instructions how to access the hotel and room. Room was perfect for family of 4 and enough room for everyone. I would stay again!
Very clean rooms and property. There was no staff onsite with self check in which was a breeze.

Disliked: Staff & service
Check in was terrible. check in instructions were not provided and contacting the owner was impossible as a tourist with an eSIM. Mini fridge was not cleaned out from previous guests. Cleanliness needed improvement. Beds were very comfortable. Continent and affordable accommodation.
Can’t say enough about how this property surprised me. Outside looked ok but interior was fantastic. Modern, clean great look. Quiet at night. Nice Cafe Bristol about a block away.
This is a beautiful little gem in a quiet location. The room was exactly like the picture, spacious, clean and comfortable. I was a little worried about the fact that there was no staff on site, however the staff responded quickly to my emails and provided great service. I was very impressed. Great work!
The checkin is self service so be sure to check your email for how to get into the building as there is no receptionist. It was very easy to do though. We got to our room and it was clean and smelled very fresh. After spending the night we left and ran into the owner in the hallway. He was very friendly and helped us with our luggage. The Black Beach Guesthouse is a great choice. I would recommend anyone stay while in Iceland.
Checkin was a bit poor - the keypad on the door was not working properly and the phone number supplied was answered by someone who would not offer any help, just told us to send an email. We got in eventually after several attempts.
Property itself was fine - clean enough, warm, comfy. Not an awful lot in walking distance though it is well placed to access some some great attractions (lava tube, Litle Hrutur etc.).
We had a wonderful three-night stay at the Black Beach Guesthouse. The self-check-in process was super easy, and we really appreciated the location in Þorlákshöfn — just about an hour from Reykjavík and the airport.
On our first night, we took a short walk to the local community recreation center, where a kind local recommended a nearby spot called Thai Sakhon. We gave it a try, and the food was great!
During our stay, we went on several day trips — to Diamond Beach (about 4.5 hours away), Vík (around 2 hours), and Selfoss (only 20 minutes). We usually got back late, but one night we discovered another great restaurant right next to Thai Sakhon called Super1pizza. We ended up chatting with a friendly local there who told us about life in Iceland — it was such a nice, unexpected highlight of our trip.
The area around the guesthouse felt safe and welcoming, even though it’s in a slightly industrial part of town. Þorlákshöfn itself is quiet but easy to walk around. We loved spotting Icelandic horses near the water by the local church (about a 10-minute walk from the guesthouse), and the Krónan grocery store just a few minutes away was super convenient.
Our room was simple, clean, and comfortable — exactly what we needed after long days of exploring. The guesthouse only provides soap (no shampoo) and doesn’t have a common area or lobby, but that’s typical for guesthouses and didn’t bother us at all.
Overall, our stay was relaxing, comfortable, and a perfect base for exploring
