The Bru Guesthouse was absolutely charming! It is the perfect place to stay if traveling and sightseeing on the southern part of Iceland. You are within a few hours of magnificent waterfalls, the Vatnajokull glacier (3rd largest in the world) the charming town of Vik, the black sand beach, and the Jokulsarlon lagoon full of icebergs which is a MUST SEE!! We loved the Bru Guesthouse which was well appointed, has great Wi-Fi, and some of the most comfortable beds you will ever sleep on! The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need and overall the guesthouse is very clean and well cared for. I would be remiss if I did not mention that the view from the living room and deck is breathtaking. And a special shout-out to the owners who took the time to track me down after I absentmindedly left our passports behind by mistake.

This hotel remembered me of a military barrack in the middle of nowhere. You have to drive 2 or 10 kilometers (depending on the direction you come from) of unpaved road to reach it. The lobby simply doesn’t exist, you only see the reception desk and some white tables and chairs, the style of a hospital cafeteria. Not a sofa or even an armchair. Rooms are minimal but comfortable, except the floor wiper present in the bathroom, that you have to use to dry the tiles since the shower is completely open. If you are really motivated you can have dinner - mainly with hamburgers - that need to be ordered in advance. Otherwise you have to drive about 20 kilometers to reach the nearest café or small restaurant. Definitely not the right place to stop if you are already a bit tired.
