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.
The 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.
A 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.
Everything. We stayed in 6 different places during our two weeks in Iceland. We all agreed that this was hands-down the best. 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)!
Well 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
Our stay at Guesthouse Skalafell was lovely! Our room was comfy and clean. The breakfast meal was delicious and plentiful. We hiked along the trails with the river on one side and cliffs on the other! Spectacular! The hosts were warm and welcoming. Easy to find. We would definitely stay here again!
Our 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.
This is more of a hotel in terms of rooms (having an ensuite bathroom in our room was great!), but still has guesthouse touches like common lounge areas (with free coffee!). The included breakfast was decent, and the location is convenient since it's just a short drive to Jokulsarlon.
Nice location for exploring the South of Iceland. Only 30 minutes from Hofn with shops and restaurants and half an hour from Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach. Nice guesthouse with nice staff, good breakfast and comfortable rooms.
A nice hotel within driving distance of plenty of natural wonders. Despite being quite busy, it was silent during the night - allowing us a good night's sleep.
The breakfast was exceptionally good, with lots of options.
Excellent restaurant with very fresh, home-cooked food. Rooms were well-appointed and had great views of the ocean and mountains. Excellent location for exploring southern Iceland (20 minutes from Glacier Lagoon).
The whole experience, location and quality of the rooms. Also, having the breakfast on the location with local produce topped it all. If returning to Iceland, definitely one of the spots to book again.
Hotel rooms were very spacious. Staff was very nice, even offered to microwave our food since restaurant was already closed. Great variety of options for breakfast. Location was great for Jokulsarlon.
Excellent buffet breakfast included and nice selection in dining room the night before.
Very large, comfortable en-suite room in the older section of the hotel. “Country House” feel.
No luxury, but the purpose of the accommodation was fulfilled. Breakfast was Icelandic standard. Easy parking with plenty of space. A little overpriced like everything in Iceland.
