We stayed for one night as part of our South Iceland road trip. Comfortable and clean rooms, good beds and even Netflix provided on the in-room television. We enjoyed really great food cooked in-house (both dinner and breakfast) which was delicious and authentically local. Staff were friendly, location was ideal. Access to the rooms was easy, being able to park right next to the door (useful when carrying bags in the snow).

There are many hiking trails and the staff at the visitors...
There are many hiking trails and the staff at the visitors center was very helpful. We choose a 3 hours hike - to the waterfalls and a viewpoint of the glacier. It was so beautiful! it took us closer to 4 hours but this included a long stop at the view point. You don't see that many bushes and greenery in other places in Iceland - so it was also very unique. On the way back we saw some beautiful birds that stayed with us for a little white before they disappeared into the bushes. Be aware of the steep climbing that is required. However, all paths are well maintained and marked.

- From $216.84 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 712 reviewsThe evening dinners were very tasty! I think the best lamb dish I had in Iceland was here. There was also a good selection at breakfast. The staff were so friendly and helpful. There was a very hospitable atmosphere to the place. Our room was a good size and, bar the curtains, had been modernised well. There was also a sink, which was helpful as we were sharing the main bathroom facilities. You really felt you were in the wildness, and from our window you could hear sheep and the nearby waterfall.
EmilyUnited Kingdom - From $251.93 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,538 reviewsWe actually didn't make it here. We were stranded in Vik due to the high winds blowing off our luggage in the top luggage compartment in the car. The hotel staff, Virna, was excellent! She was super helpful and it worked out because an unexpected tour came in and they were short two rooms so we were able to cancel without charge. Heard great things about this property. Wished we had been able to make it there but appreciated how kind they were of our situation.stefaneeUnited States of America
- From $216.84 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 712 reviewsWe had a lovely stay at Skalafell! Owned and managed by a welcoming local family, we stayed in one of the units facing the sheep meadow and loved it. Breakfasts were very nice and we had delicious dinners on two nights. The best part is that the guesthouse is located at the trailhead of a loop trail that takes you up close to one of the glaciers at Vatnajokull National Park, which we hiked one morning for an unforgettable experience!
MarcUnited States of America - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 287 reviewsA really lovely guesthouse, great for an overnight stay. The place was very clean and new. The employee who was taking care of the place was really nice, showed us around and we chatted a bit about where he is from and what he is doing in Iceland. The bathrooms were large and clean, with spacious showers where you comfortably wash and toilet in the same room.AdrianaBulgaria

The beds are super comfortable. The view is incredible. The sounds of the river coming into the cabin all night are dreamy. The breakfast is delicious. The host is lovely. We’ll definitely be back here (someday)!
TracyUnited States of America - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 287 reviewsWell maintained guesthouse. It looked brand new when we arrived autumn 2021. The traditional corrugated iron outside suggests that the property is an old farm, but the inside is completely renovated and modern. Very clean room Good breakfast included Affordable and reasonable price in expensive Iceland
ChrisNetherlands - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 287 reviewsOur host, Jan, was friendly and very helpful. He told us about a great 3 hour hike that started right at the guest house. Although the location is about 30 minutes from Hofn there is a hotel with a good restaurant nearby. Our room had a lovely view and the shared bathrooms were spacious.
