Iceland wonderful... beautiful full of surprises. Welcome Riverside Guesthouse a disappointment.
+ Beds were comfortable. The young man hired to do the cleaning and prep was accommodating and kind. Location was great.
− We appreciate the person who is cleaning, and answering simple questions who lives on the property. He was extremely helpful. But, communications with management, restrooms, size of rooms, and being moved on the third night to a renovated room the size of a closet is really sad and discouraging. I had attempted a number of times to contact management via Bookings.com, and again via their personal email three separate times beginning March for our trip in August, and never once received any answers to simple questions asked. Management claims to have a phone on site, but no one picks up the phone on the other end when called, or answers Text Messages to their cells. In the main house there are two bathrooms, one male and the other female, for all of the guests to share. The shower next to the toilet leaks into the toilet area so that the floor is wet going in and out. No shoes permitted, and a wet floor to walk on. Our third night we were moved from the room we were staying in to the next door house, and we found ourselves in what appeared to be a renovated closet. I am presently sitting out in the lounge area, where there are no electrical outlets having to type this out because there just isn’t room in our assigned room. We realize that Iceland is an expensive country to visit. But even so the rooms and amenities need to be of the quality of this wonderful country. Welcome Riverside Guesthouse will not be a recommendation to my friends and colleagues who wish to come to Iceland.

Dont go here.
+ The bed itself wasnt bad. Just the pillows are old and clotted.
− We didnt get the room number but did have a pin. Calling the phone number did nothing. Badly organized. We made a mistake to book here again in 2 weeks.
