We stayed at Our House because we didn't want to stay at some cookie cutter hotel, we wanted to really see Reykjavik and meet people. As others have noted, it really does feel like coming home, if home has a sauna in the basement and someone there who can answer any question you may have: Ernesto, the caretaker is so... More

Our House is a true home from home - Bedda has a fantastic house - several bedrooms with comfortable beds, shared bathrooms (a sauna with shower, a separate bathroom with shower and jacuzzi, and a separate loo). The kitchen is shared and is fully equipped, breakfast being provided but on a help yourself basis. All of the little details are... More

Our House was amazing, it was about a minute walk to the Hallgrimskirkja church and less than a 5 minute walk to Laugavegur street. Bedda was so helpful before we arrived sending us travel tips and answering all of our questions and upon meeting her she was just so friendly and welcoming. Ernesto is the caretaker of the house and... More

I stayed here last year but forgot to leave a review! I loved Our House and Bedda was the best hostess. She'll tell you what's worth seeing and what local bars are featuring live music. It felt like staying with friends. In fact, I even made some friends who were also staying there, and we went out together on my... More

This is what every hostel should be all about. The "home" feeling. The warmth, the comfort, the location, the price, the owners,... there's no single flaw I could think of. If you go to Reykjavík, stay there. More

We stayed in the winter. Bedda the hostess was brilliant, friendly and welcoming. We arrived but nobody was home, but Bedda let us in anyway and said make yourselves at home. The house is beautiful, homely with quaint touches to make it feel that little bit special. Bedda provides basics of tea coffee bread milk etc. Again, all adds to... More

Our House was one of the BEST places I have ever stayed. It felt like I was walking in to someone's home - so cozy, so comfortable, so welcoming. Bedda, the owner, took such good care of her guests. She kept a dry-erase board updated with daily and evening events. The house was very clean. I was upgraded to a... More

This is one of the situations when I seriously consider not to recommend a place. And that is because ourhouse is a hidden gem that only me, my family and close friends should know of. I spent 4 nights at ourhouse with two of my friends in a private room. Ourhouse is all about little details that makes the difference.... More

Bedda and Anthony are the owner and caretaker who where present when we stayed at this lovely home. They both care sincerely about the well being of their guests and do all they can to make you feel comfortable and entertained with things to do in Iceland. We really felt like we were staying in a cousin's home and not... More

During family visits in the US and France, my husband and I opted for a few-day layover in Reykjavik on the summer solstice 2011, and we fell in love with the city, in large part because of Bedda's warm, cozy home. She welcomed us with her amazing energy, and then trusted the home to us and other guests. We made... More
