While the property was easy to find from Selfoss, it’s a bit off the beaten path. We were unsure which route to take to get back up to the Ring Road the next morning and chose wrong…we should have taken 33 back up but took 308, which was a gravel road for kilometer after kilometer. Wish we had been able to chat with the host prior to leaving about which road to take! The shower was a bit of a learning curve for us and we ended up with water on the floor despite our best intentions!

Room was comfortable and spacious. Area to make breakfast was open and had good amenities. Inner garden area was lovely. Host was pleasant upon our arrival and showed us around, with another couple. The only place we stayed where the outlets were vertical, not horizontal. Very much out in the country and quiet. Car was frosted over in the morning! Tiles in bathroom were warm from radiator, which was lovely!

Access to a full working kitchen was great. The owners were very welcoming and offered dinner recommendations. The room was comfortable and quiet.

Nothing, everything was great

The host, Greg, met us when we arrived and gave us a tour and history of the location. Room was great, comfortable and clean. Newly renovated last year. Would highly recommend

Both hosts were very welcoming. Each of them gave us such great recommendations on what to do in the area. It was such a great stay.

(really this was my own fault for being unprepared) There is a large communal kitchen which is currently meant for self-catering, ie, bring and prepare your own food. I didn't realize this until it was too late (in Selfoss, a traditional small town, things close on the early side) so we had morning tea and went to a bakery in town for breakfast (GK Bakeri, btw, was great). Next time I'll take better advantage of the kitchen and really enjoy the morning light and plants and farm life in the distance...

The owners have created a home with a lovely, warm, welcoming vibe - it feels like you're an honored guest at a special hidden villa. The rooms are small, but scrupulously clean and cleverly laid out so there's plenty of room to relax. Beds are very cozy and comfortable, and the views across the field in the morning is stunning. By far the most magical place is the garden "room" - really a huge greenhouse linking the main house to the kitchen. It's just gorgeous, with flowers and vines and greenery everywhere you look, little twinkly lights, and sitting areas for eating, gathering with a big group, or just curling up with a book.

Nothing it was all great

The property is really beautiful - the decor is tasteful,warm and friendly. It has a hot tub and a cold plunge and a huge kitchen. There is a garden/conservatory linking the kitchen to the house which is simply wonderful filled with amazing plants with lots of seating. It is nothing like anywhere else we have stayed and stands out from the rest of the accommodation available in Iceland.

The rooms are cozy, well maintained and equipped. Beds are superb. The kitchen and sitting area offer room for homely interaction with other guests. No dinner or breakfast but this is known beforehand. A very relaxed place to start your golden circle adventure! Take some supplies with you. There are fridges at the hotel and a supermarket 15 minutes away.

If there is an improvement, the mattress is very soft and the bed makes lots of noise with the slightest move. Other than that, everything is perfect.

The house is so unique and beautifully designed. I felt at home and relaxed. The garden and kitchen are the main attractions. I love having the huge kitchen space and dining area to use. It was very surreal siting in the garden with the midnight light and contemplated on life. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful.

The Wifi was a bit slow at times, but nothing major.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Old School House. Honestly, part of me wants to gatekeep this place – but of course I won’t. As a half-Icelandic person, this has definitely become one of my new favorite spots to stay in the countryside. We loved the garden, which was open for everyone to use. We actually ended up staying in for both dinner and breakfast, even though we had plans to go out and eat at restaurants. But the garden was just too cozy – we couldn’t resist. We also really enjoyed the hot tub and had an amazing evening watching the sunset. The kitchen and bedrooms were super clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Iceland. Magnea and Greg were so lovely and welcoming. You can really feel that they care and want you to have the best stay possible. 10/10, would recommend!:))

Shampoo in the bathrooms would be nice

Lovely owners and absolutely charming little hotel/hostel with much attention to detail and a personal touch to everything. Our kids loved the hot and cold tub. The Old School House features a stunning greenhouse sitting area, perfect for relaxing, reading and chatting (under a heating lamp when it gets too cool). Beds were very comfy. Good distance from sweet little town of Selfoss and good location for exploring the Golden Triangle on your way back to Reykjavik if that's were you are heading.

The place was clearly very thoughtfully designed, decorated, and well cared for. The plants in the greenhouse porch area were amazing!! That whole space was so calming and beautiful. The kitchen was very spacious and impeccably cleaned. Hosts were very friendly and kind. We didn’t get a chance to try the hot tub and cold plunge but I was happy they were there.

No complaints.

Very good location for doing the golden circle route. The property is well maintained and nicely decorated. The owners stay at the property. They were very welcoming and helped us settle down. Our room had one queen bed and two built in bunk beds for the kids. The kids loved their bunk beds. They have a nice glass house, hot tub and a big kitchen to accommodate the guests. Overall a fantastic stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Gaulverjaskoli. Magnea and Greg are very warm hosts and have created a charming place to stay. The rooms are very cozy and clean and have everything you need. The shared kitchen and the charming winter garden were also great. It was a wonderful place to linger and chat with the other guests. The kitchen itself is well equipped for cooking. Magnea and Greg had very good recommendations for activities in the area and selfoss was a great base for horse riding, driving to the golden circle and hiking to hot springs. We can highly recommend this accommodation.

I know it’s not the Airbnb, but it would be really nice to have a shampoo for visitors and 2 towels for each person. Also there was a coffee but it would be great to have tea also.

Beautiful house inside and outside. It really feels that the hosts love their house and everything is done with love and care. There’s an awesome garden with many plants. Everything is fresh new and we would really recommend this place for our friends who visit Iceland.

Super clean and excellent facilities. The kitchen was large and very well stocked. The house was so lovely and charming with such a soulful vibe. The hosts put a lot of love into it and you can feel and see it in the details making it a very enjoyable and comfortable place to stay. The hot tub and cold plunge was such a treat. The oasis/ garden in the house a perfectly relaxing place to unwind. The hosts were so friendly, super informative, accommodating and welcoming… thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

It was our coziest stay in Iceland. The bed was really comfortable, the garden very beautiful. It used to be a school and it was great to see the some historic details/. The common room/kitchen was also a very nice place to be. Also the owners were really nice. We felt really welcome!
