What a guesthouse stay should be.

For a guesthouse/shared kitchen this was perfect stay. Everything was simple with check in, owners were present and friendly, kitchen was well stocked with plates utensils. Bathrooms were clean and were 2 per floor.

The room was spacious and clean with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. In a great location - walkable to grocery store, plenty of good restaurants, and attractions like the lava fields. Check-in was easy and instructions were clear. Would highly recommend!

This property is as beautifully appointed. It exceeded our expectations. We did struggle briefly to find it. It would benefit from a clearer sign saying Lava Guesthouse or mention in the communications that it is also known as VIK.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!

I do not suggest booking here. It is a run down, scary looking place with no services. The building and location are so shady/creepy that my girl friends and I left minutes after we arrived. I would compare this place to a motel or worse, a shack. They don't even have a front desk or someone to talk to, you could only call a random number for questions or comments. The way into the place is through a code which anybody could access. Also, guests staying here share a bathroom. So odd. Side note: We asked for a refund. Lava Guesthouse did not agree, even though we left minutes after our arrival. Avoid at all costs!!
