Gagga, we wish you, your family and Guesthouse Basar all the best!

Positive: Extremely nice guesthouse with a great location on the island. Next to the airport, a few minutes walk to the town and the closest guesthouse to the arctic circle. From the kitchen in the guesthouse I was able to watch the whales feeding. It was a quiet location with all the things I needed. Great stay.
Negative: Room was small.
Summary: Cosy stay near to the Arctic circle

Positive: If you get the chance to stay at the Guesthouse Basar, take it - you won't forget it. Grimsey is an amazing place and Gagga is at the heart of the community. She could not have done more for us, including picking us up from the boat and running us into the centre when we needed to go in if it was raining and we didn't want to walk. In fact, one day someone from the island offered my husband a lift when he was walking down to the shop, it's that kind of place. You can see large numbers of puffins very close by, even from the kitchen window. Everyone was friendly and our two night trip was truly unforgettable - thank you Gagga!
Negative: There were only two bathrooms and the toilets were in the bathrooms so sometimes there was a small wait to use the bathroom.....but this really was a small price to pay for the experience of staying there.
Summary: A unique place and a truly unforgettable, amazing experience

Positive: It as an unforgettable experience. Gagga was a fantastic host who made sure we had the best time possible in Grímsey, despite being there for a short period of time in the winter. She knew every detail about the Iceland, showed us around, and was kind enough to find food for dinner since the town restaurant was closed when we arrived. The house was gorgeous, with a fantastic modern kitchen and a gorgeous dining room full of pictures of Grímsey. Internet was exceptional and the breafast was huge and outstanding. This is the part of my trip to Iceland that I remember the most. Totally recommended.
Negative: Nothing, I had a fantastic experience.
Summary: Gorgeous island and an outstanding host who gave us a service that exceeded our expectations.
