  We absolutely loved Guesthouse Carina. It was our favorite hotel while in Iceland. Check in was simple, our room for 4 was a perfect size and breakfast was absolutely amazing.... read more Vik is a cute town with many beautiful areas.

  I want to start by saying that the breakfast is NOT free. We have to pay €16 per adult.

This guesthouse is located about three 3) minutes drive... read more from gas stations, restaurants, grocery and souvenir shops. We reserved a room for three (3) and the accommodation was comfortable enough. The room is clean, the sheets are freshly laundered, and the beds are comfortable. You will have to share the small kitchen, bathroom and the toilet with other guests. My family was not bothered by this because we only stayed for one (1) night. The shared set-up is something one may consider if you don’t like to share your space.

I’m not sure how many rooms for guests there are in the building. The hallways are narrow. If you are concerned about physical distancing, a shoulder-to-shoulder situation may sometimes be unavoidable.

There is a nice breakfast room in a black glass building that overlooks the town. Note that the information they have about breakfast in TripAdvisor is not correct. You will have to pay extra for the breakfast.

Overall, I would recommend Carina for those active and on-the-go individuals. There is no elevator in the 2-story (with basement) building and as I have mentioned, the passage ways including the staircases are narrow. More

  This place feels like home and is decorated with a lot of attention and soul.
We called the owner to confirm availability and she was very welcoming right from... read more the first conversation. The room was comfortable and the kitchen was so beautifully laid out.
The entire house had an amazing Christmas feel to it that we did not encounter in other places we stayed in. Christmas cookies prepared by the owner were just delicious.

Everything was designed to give you a real authentic house feeling. One of the best guesthouse experiences ever.

We enjoyed our stay at Carina’s. Good restaurants in the area too.
Very close to Reynisfjara the black sand beach.

  The check-in and check-out were very straightforward and easy. The breakfast was plentiful and with a great variety of continental food, American food and some local goodies (skyr, marinated herring).

Communal TV area (open till 10pm) and a communal kitchen with... read more a microwave (but no stovetop). Lovely breakfast room with large open windows and a decent breakfast spread. Would recommend for a one night stop in Vik.

  This has to be one of my favorite guesthouses i have stayed in anywhere. Easy to find, staff are soooo friendly, it is extremely clean and airy and the breakfast... read more was everything you could ask for.

I actually loved it here. I basically based myself in Vik so i could explore the south coast and for me, this place made my trip as comfortable as i could have hoped for.

The room was perfect as well, i might add.

If you're thinking of staying in Vik then just stay here. Take my word for it!

Well done Guesthouse Carina!!

Obviously, it was where the rather expensive (€15) breakfasts were prepared and served, but we were not really told the purpose of it and the door to it was closed on occasion. It was almost as if the owners did not want it to be used, apart from for breakfast, which would have been a shameful waste and not in the spirit of guesthouses with their communal area. We did, however, manage to use it as a sitting room and we prepared our breakfasts and one salad evening meal there. Overall, at over €150 a night it was not particularly good value relative to other places that we stayed in, particularly given that the toilets and bathrooms were shared.
