High winds at sea delayed our ferry, so our overall trip to Vestmann Island was cut short, but we made the most of our time. Lava Guesthouse was very centrally located and wonderfully clean and comfortable. The bathroom, in particular, was quite nice, and the kitchen facilities were an added plus. I wish we could have stayed much longer!

Great location. Our room was right by the ATM so another room might be better. Gott was awesome! Very walkable.

it is right in the center of this beautiful small town on the island of Westman. The room was spacious since we booked a family room. It was on the first floor but was very quiet at night. The kitchen was really nice with everything you need. You could walk everywhere from this place. We took the host's recommendation: We went to the town pool that has 3 hot tubs and an indoor swimming pool as well as a steam room. We also went to the next door Gott for dinner. A great place to stay if you want to visit this wonderful island.

We stayed in the family room with the priate bathroom. Its on the first floor and was a lovely room with a modern bathroom. Its right next to the kitchen, but its alsp on the ground floor so you may hear some noise from the upstairs guests. This guesthouse is right next to Gott, which is a FABULOUS restaurant at which we dined for both lunch and dinner. It's within a few blocks of a pharmacy and one of the hiking trailheads.

Excellent for a last minute change (another property on the island failed to provide check in instructions). Room is clean, spacious. The kitchen has utensils, cups, plates, cookware, and a tea kettle -- but be mindful, it's right next door to another guest room. There's a Kronan and Bonus in walking distance if you'd rather cook than eat out. The owner can come out and help on very short notice if needed, but he communicates via phone.

While the area doesn't have a lot of accommodations to choose from, staying at Lava Guesthouse was a great fit for us. The location is great for the downtown walking area, and is walkable from the ferry. If you do bring a car over, there was plenty of available street parking in front of or around the block. The room was as photographed. The shared bathrooms are small, two exist with showers and another is just a toilet. As long as you aren't trying to get ready at the same time as other guests, it's not a problem. We visited in July and it doesn't really get dark. It would have been nice to have better light-blocking curtains or sleep masks provided to keep the light out, but it was an issue easily solved for my partner by having him sleep with a towel over his eyes. Note most rooms are upstairs. We didn't use the kitchen but it did appear well stocked if you were staying multiple days and wanting to keep food costs down. The house asks that you remove your shoes just inside the main door, so that could be an issue for some people but it meant you didn't have as much noise from other guests walking around the hallways.

Great little place for a night. The fridge was helpful to store some food for breakfast. Good location. The restaurant, Tanginn, was great too!
