[OSM-talk] Without an address, an Icelandic tourist drew this map of the intended location (Búðardalur) and surroundings on the envelope. The postal service delivered!

[Jóhannes Birgir Jensson]

The actual address to that farm would be much shorter even, Hólar, 
Búðardal.

Simple phone book lookup gives us this 
https://ja.is/?q=h%C3%B3lar%20b%C3%BA%C3%B0ardal (here Hólar has been 
changed to dative case Hólum).

Probably you'll find a small sign by the driveway to the farm at the 
main road with the farm name, thats about it for signage in rural areas.
