    Quick shower/coolish bathroom

    Very nice place to stay. Not too far of main road. Quaint little place with roaming sheep. Great food for dinner and for breakfast. Room was comfortable and warm. There could've been more hot water. Took a quick shower so there was enough for the next person.

    Location is good, make sure you visit Fjaðrárgljúfur while in the area, it is right there & very beautiful. Room was warm, quiet, clean, comfortable mattress. I had a shared bathroom but it was clean & there were no issues as other guests were clean & respectful. Fun part was that you get like your own tiny house, it's a fun interesting experience, especially if aurora is around. It is very quiet both in the room I really enjoyed dinner course menu, I think it was worth the money & the quality was definitely very good. They were also accepting & accommodating of my dietary restrictions, thank you! And the dinner was especially nice with a great choice of calm jazzy evening music - very relaxing after a long day. It was one of the most memorable dinner experiences while in Iceland, I really enjoyed it. Breakfast was OK, with usual options in Icelandic hotels/guesthouses. Check in/out was quick, seamless. Staff very nice all the time. Parking free on premises.

    This idyllic spot offered privacy and comfort in absolutely stunning surroundings. Our cabin was spotless and outfitted with everything we needed and more (electric kettle, hairdryer for example). Our hosts were knowledgeable and proud of the area, introducing us to the most wonderful surprise on our trip, the incredible canyon just minutes up the road. A short, clear-path hike offered the most incredible views of the canyon and its waterfalls. A farm-to-table restaurant on site with full bar service gives Hunkubakkar a resort-like feel.

    Remotely located, the small cabins are really nice and the rooms very functional. it had been a miserable weather day all day so we were happy to arrive there and dry out. The room is great, bed very comfortable and we had our own bathroom. The breakfast was really good, and I regret we did not try out the restaurant because we had eaten a little earlier. The owner is also the owner of the farm on the opposite side of the road. Sheep all around.

    Amazing place in the middle of nature! Such a beautiful and romantic atmosphere made by the soft and warm lights of the restaurant in the dark nights of the countryside! Also amazing food, I think the best lamb I ever had! And last but not least, the staff was very nice and polite, they even offered us a take away breakfast as we had to head very early in the morning. Will recommend without doubts!

    I would've like to have 1 extra pillow.

    We LOVE this place. Cozy and private. It was perfect. We ate Charr from the rest there and it was delicious. Theres also a gas station and restaurant about 5 mins from this place, which is extremely convenient. This is also 5 mins from Stjórnarfoss. We would recommend this place a 100%.
