Impressive views of Troll Waterfalls and an extensive vinyl collection of over 3000 records are notable features of Fossatún Country Hotel.

The room was superb including a comfortable bed. It was special being away from the town - the setting was so beautiful. There are hiking trails starting at this location. We loved the hot tubs filled with water from a hot spring - so relaxing after a long drive. Breakfast was delicious. My favorites were the smoked salmon and lots of delicious fruit at breakfast we sat by windows overlooking a beautiful waterfall. We even got to watch the Northern lights paint the sky for 45 minutes.
Fossatun Camping Pods offer accommodations in wooden camping pods in Fossatún, in the West Iceland Region. Free WiFi is available in commune areas and shared outdoor hot tubs are accessible.

It’s a hostel and very economical so our expectations weren’t high. That being said we arrived off season, there was no real staff and the place was not clean. To make it worse there were only a few other parties but one was a couple traveling with 2 unruly toddlers who were literally wearing trash cans on their heads and banging pots , pulling all of the pots out of the cupboards and playing with them on the floor. We left after one night and checked into a hotel. I suppose if you really didn’t want to spend a lot of money and you were young and just starting out it would be nice but definitely if you have the resources avoid this hostel. PS the view is amazing and the owner is very nice-immediately sent a friend to check on us. I made sure to give an honest review because we went off reviews to book this. The cat is very sweet
The Hvítá Inn by Ourhotels is a recently renovated guest house in Bær where guests can make the most of its garden and shared lounge.

Absolutely fabulous! What an incredible experience to stay in the middle of nowhere in Iceland. There is a large social area where an outstanding breakfast is served. Julia and Patrick are keeping the place perfectly and are wonderful to chat with!

Place was pleasant.
Place was pleasant.
Great play area for kids, meal in restaurant was really good, typically pricey (but that's Iceland) but simple, really tasty fare. Troll Garden was a nice addition.
Just a pity my stay was ruined by smashing my face into the extremely dangerous low shower-block awning.
This is very very dangerous and breaks building standards.
I suffered severe swelling at the top of my head, a gash on my forehead and a swollen cheek.
Before you ask, it was first thing in the morning and no alcohol was involved. If anything I concede tiredness may have been a contributing factor.
However, this is totally unacceptable. I did consider seeking legal advice but fortunately my injuries healed (by the time I got home ten days later).
I fear, however, if this dangerously low awning was combined with an inebriated person running, it could result in terrible injury.
The owner is aware how low and dangerous this awning is.
Hopefully he will do something about it before someone is seriously injured and takes him to the cleaners.

The location was great, not too far off main roads (paved road all the way there), but in an open beautiful and quiet spot. The waterfalls rt behind the hotel were an easy, fun and much needed spot to take in local beauty and stretch the legs. The trail of troll folklore was great for all ages as well. Three hot tubs available w water temps around 101. Most notably the dinner was outstanding! The homemade stews and soups were outstanding and reasonably priced, the dinning area along w music from a turn table brought our meal completely together. Everything, from being allowed to check in a little early to still getting access to the breakfast beyond their designated breakfast hours was superb! Rooms were very modern and super clean, beds surprisingly comfortable. We definitely wld recommend you stay here!!
